There were a few parts I skimmed through, but overall I liked this pretty well. It's not as much of a 'story' as other things, and feels a little more like a textbook, but is not too dense or fact-filled that it's hard to follow. For an educational read, it is about as good as it can get.

Detailed, intensive environmental history of the Columbia River - I knew nothing about the Columbia River before this, and I appreciated the thorough background. Still digesting the author's arguments about the "organic machine" and the relationships between humans, nature, labor, energy, etc.
I loved this. I thought it could have gone further, but the arguments about the interconnectivity of nature and humans were awesome.

Informative and incredibly persuasive. White is one of the most engaging writers of history that I have read. His writing is so good that I constantly kept having to stop and ask myself if I was really critically engaging with the points he was making, or just getting swept up in how persuasive his style is.
