Reviews
A skilful combination marshalling of imagination and fact, Russell is hoping to save the Oldman River in southeastern Alberta from being dammed for agriculture. He begins the book invoking the prehistoric hunt of a mammoth, talks about the arrival of wild horses to Alberta, and winds up the book hoping this modification of nature will not proceed. Russell writes better than almost anyone in the world of outdoors/nature/intellectual protest--including Suzuki or Barry Lopez--and is a natural show more philosopher who went from hunter with gun to hunter with camera. show less
