{"product_id":"for-love-of-a-river-the-minnesota","title":"For Love of a River: The Minnesota","description":"Growing up in the river town of Morton, Darby Nelson developed a deep taproot of affection that anchored his contagious curiosity about the land and people of the Minnesota River Valley. Now, with an ecologist's lens and a lifelong appreciation for wild and scenic places, Darby sets out with his wife, Geri, to paddle the river all the way from its source near the Minnesota-South Dakota border to its confluence with the Mississippi in the Twin Cities.For Love of a River: The Minnesota addresses topics as diverse as geology, early and modern agriculture, citizen advocacy, water-quality challenges and solutions, river-based recreation, dams and dam removal, prairie pothole lakes, the river's rich diversity of plant and animal life, and the Dakota-US War. Never before has a book undertaken such a holistic exploration of the state's namesake river and its basin.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1643439170\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1643439170.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nelson, Darby|Hickman, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
