Book excerpt: This book is organized unlike other books about rivers. Even the Table of Contents looks different. Rivers are interrelated into the lives of people and wildlife. Historical events are related to other events and many kinds of activities affected more than one river. For these reasons, the book is organized into history chapters alternating with chapters about specific rivers. The history chapters contain information needed to understand impacts on the rivers. They are not intended as a thorough history of the state. The river chapters contain information specific to each river, with frequent references to the history chapters for information common to several rivers. Short feature sections contain information on specific common topics. We have attempted to avoid technical terms, but those that are used are defined in the glossary. Similarly, we have used common names for plants and animals. Readers interested in the scientific names will find those in a special section of the glossary.
