Description
This book discusses the twenty-five longest, most important, famous and fascinating of the world's rivers--from the Ganges to the Mekong, from the Nile to the Amazon, from the Colorado and the Mississippi to the Tigris-Euphrates system and the Danube, Rhine and Seine--with the ambitious aim of offering an absolutely new portrait of each river. Aerial photographs and panoramic images are enhanced by special-area views and details. Included are photographs and archival documents evoking the crucial moments in the evolution of the rivers and the roles they have played in the development of civilizations and the creation of their regional environments.
