Ellen Wohl is professor of geosciences at Colorado State University and the author of, most recently, Of Rock and Rivers: Seeking a Sense of Place in the American West.
"Wohl is distinctly more objective and even hopeful than many of
her environmentalist contemporaries would be in her approach to
this wide-ranging subject. . . . Hers is a fascinating geosocial
approach to environmental history. She is rational and reasonable,
so the reforms she urges are far more likely to come about than
they otherwise would. She certainly does not shy away from exposing
the problems, but her approach is positive."-- "Workboat World"
"Excellent. . . . Wohl, a fluvial geoscientist, does a superb job
of linking the flow of geomorphic structure of rivers with a more
encompassing examination of their ecology, history, and culture. .
. . Highly recommended."--J. H. Thorp III "Choice"
