Description: From its icy origins high in the Rocky Mountains to its parched, once-mighty delta, the Colorado River has shaped landscapes, civilizations, and legal battles across the American West. This sweeping account traces the river's geological artistry in the Grand Canyon, the audacious dams and aqueducts that turned deserts into cities, and the tangled compacts that divide its every drop. Along the way, readers encounter whitewater adventurers, embattled ecosystems, and the communities now confronting an unprecedented water crisis. A vivid portrait of a lifeline under pressure—and the uncertain future flowing just downstream.
