"A World of Rivers" explores the confluence of human and
environmental change on ten of the great rivers of the world.
Ranging from the Yellow River in China to Central Europe's Danube,
the book journeys down the most important rivers in all corners of
the globe. Wohl shows us how pollution, such as in the Ganges and
in the Ob of Siberia, has affected biodiversity in the water. But
rivers are also resilient, and Wohl stresses the importance of
conservation and restoration to help reverse the effects of human
carelessness and hubris. What these diverse rivers share is a
critical role in shaping surrounding landscapes and biological
communities, and Wohl's book ultimately makes a strong case for the
need to steward positive change in the world's great rivers.
