For anyone who remembers Reisner's Cadillac Desert, this is a must-read update on how society deals with water resource management in the Western In the context of climate change reducing water supply and population growth increasing demand for what's left. Fleck describes a 'network' of people across jurisdictions striving to balance the needs of all. Highly recommended book on natural resource management in the 21st century!

Never have I read a male authored book with such a wonderful female character. One of my favorite novels of all time.

A balm for our troubled times. Kimmerer integrates her perspectives - western trained botanist and inheritor of Native American cultural wisdom - beautifully. She is full of despair at the damage we do, full of hope for our power to restore, and full of passion for the world around us.
