{"product_id":"disconnected-rivers-ellen-wohl-9780300194708","title":"Disconnected Rivers: Linking Rivers to Landscapes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis important and accessible book surveys the history and present condition of river systems across the United States, showing how human activities have impoverished our rivers and impaired the connections between river worlds and other ecosystems.\u003cbr\u003eEllen Wohl begins by introducing the basic physical, chemical, and biological processes operating in rivers. She then addresses changes in rivers resulting from settlement and expansion, describes the growth of federal involvement in managing rivers, and examines the recent efforts to rehabilitate and conserve river ecosystems. In each chapter she focuses on a specific regional case study and describes what happens to a particular river organism--a bird, North America's largest salamander, the paddlefish, and the American alligator--when people interfere with natural processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Wohl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300194706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300194708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Ellen Wohl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311012204799,"sku":"9780300194708","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8f29260-ebd8-4156-8c22-e05f773d0847.jpg?v=1730887856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disconnected-rivers-ellen-wohl-9780300194708","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
