- catalog abstract ""From mountaintop headwaters to distant deltas, rivers run their courses shaping the commercial, geographical, environmental, and cultural character of nations. Rivers of the World, vividly written and meticulously researched, is a rich and thorough treatment of nearly 200 of the world's rivers. In these pages, you'll find rivers both tranquil and turbulent, renowned and obscure - but each remarkable or historically significant in its own right." "In addition to treating the historical and often literary significance of each river, entries address environmental issues and threats to our planet's waterways - floods, pollution, river management, and dam construction and destruction. Entries also include detailed information on the geographical features of each river." "Each entry is prefaced with basic facts, including river source, outlet, major tributaries, and length, and concludes with suggestions for further reading. The A-to-Z entries are fully indexed."--Jacket.".
