Reviews

"Hart tells the story of the David-and-Goliath struggle to save the lake--and how it revolutionized California's water policies. . . . Hart deftly threads through the legal thickets, politicking and environmental grandstanding while at the same time dispensing colorful geological and Old West lore. . . . [An] eloquent, handsomely illustrated book."--"San Francisco Chronicle Review
