Review
Should be required reading for every citizen . . . This book clearly explains the value of clean water, wetlands, and proper watershed management. -- Scott Salaway, Mercury (Pottstown, PAThis is a good book, mainly because it covers a wide range of watershed-related issues in a reader-friendly style. -- John D. Owens, Science Books & Films, March/April 2000This is an excellent primer on ecology, simply written and charmingly illustrated with more than 100 watercolours. -- Canadian Geographic, May/June 2000Watersheds seeks to explain simply why putting poisons in the water is bad by showing how watersheds work, how all water systems -- streams, sewers, rivers, oceans, our own plumbing - are interconnected and interdependent. . . . The author's method is excellent. . . . It would make a good supplementary text for a high school biology class, but would also be nice for the ecologically conscious parent. -- KLIATT, Nov 1999, Katherine E. Gillen

My 7th grader was required to have this book for a Watershed Program at her school. We read it together and learned so much about how we as humans effect the watersheds. I look forward to learning more on this subject through her classes this year.
