Oneota flow

the long version

"In this peaceful and inspiring book, David Faldet tells the story of the Upper Iowa as it flows through land and people, holding true to Aldo Leopold's conception ofland as a community in which water, people, and soil play interactive parts. He focuses on the ways people depend on the river, the environment, and the resources of the region, blending contemporary conversations, readings from the historical record, environmental research, and personal experience to show us that the health of the river is best guaranteed by maintaining the biological communities that nurture it. In return, taking care of the Upper Iowa is the best way to take care of our future."--BOOK JACKET.
