Description: Journey from the glacial heights of the Tibetan Plateau to the shifting shores of the Bohai Sea in this sweeping portrait of the Yellow River, the waterway that shaped Chinese civilization. Tracing its passage through the silt-laden Loess Plateau and the ambitious engineering works that seek to tame it, this book weaves together geology, ecology, and millennia of human history. Discover why this river has been called both the cradle of dynasties and "China's Sorrow," and explore the communities whose lives still rise and fall with its currents. A rich, accessible account of one of the world's most consequential rivers—and the modern challenges that will define its future.
