Once a necessity for the development of civilization, by the twentieth century America's rivers became neglected and abused, channelized, dammed, and filled with sewage and toxic waste. While acknowledging the profound impact our species has had on the natural world, and on rivers in particular, \u003ci\u003eRewilding the Urban Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the Anthropocene presents opportunities for rethinking our relationship to the natural world and potentially healing the age-old rift between humans and nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Although the Clean Water Act of 1972 spurred a cleanup of the nation's waterways, explosive urban growth has since fragmented the wildlife corridors and ecosystems along our rivers. The contributors to this volume contend that if done right, rewilding urban rivers can help avoid further loss of biodiversity and simultaneously address environmental and social inequities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496230612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496230614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Greg Gordon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44809588113663,"sku":"9781496230614","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ef7f982-9f44-454d-8069-6a40fcda7f5b.jpg?v=1707926927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rewilding-the-urban-frontier-greg-gordon-9781496230614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
