BIG RIVER
Resilience and Renewal in the Columbia Basin
a Visual Journey through the epic COLUMBIA Watershed, and Stories from the riverkeepers of the Pacific Northwest.
Photos by David Moskowitz
Where there is water, there is life.
“This river...It’s one of our spiritual places—you can feel the ancestors here. We do the work, carrying on what our ancestors did here. We just hope that we are doing it right.”
“Part coffee table book, part scientific study, part historical treatise, Big River examines the Columbia through a number of different lenses: wildlife biologist David Moskowitz’s striking photography takes readers on a visual travelogue;
Eileen Delehanty Pearkes’ text spans time, from the prehistoric origins of the Columbia Basin to the present-day challenges the region faces; and interviews with individuals who live and work in the Basin add a personal touch to the narrative.”
