This book is astounding. I’ve spent my whole life in the West. I am a civil engineer with a passion for the outdoors and this book nourished me on multiple levels. The historical background of the Grand Canyon and its exploration was enlightening. Fedarko manages to detail the Glen Canyon Dam and the river’s hydraulics on an intricate level with an obviously deep level of understanding. Most importantly the story-telling inspires passion for the wild and the untamed. As I finished the book I was left with a desire to hop on the nearest raft and start down the Colorado River. Overall, this is an amazing read that may feel slow at times, but eventually yields to a story worth reading and recounting to your friends and family.
