Full Text Reviews:

Booklist - 07/01/2015 Rivers have been a tremendous influence on the development of civilization and the evolution of cultures. Each of the 10 rivers detailed in this book has its own chapter, which includes chronological narratives about the groups of people who have called the river home. Full-color maps show each river’s headwaters and terminus, and photographs detail major cultural attractions, wildlife, and artifacts. The rivers included are representative of major world cultures and provide a survey of the world’s various biomes. Not only are the historical implications of each river valley explored but the future of each region is discussed and environmental concerns are described in detail. Source material is varied, drawing from archaeological findings, UNESCO reports, and ecological-impact studies. The book is intent on helping young readers make the connection between physical and human geography and on understanding the myriad of forces that shape a people’s culture. With a colorful, engaging layout and a unique approach to its topic, this title is a solid entry point to both geography and world history. - Copyright 2015 Booklist.
