    <body><![CDATA[The book starts out about Powell's trip down the grand canyon, which is interesting.  The later part of the book is about the politics of water in the west, which is also interesting, but in a different sort of way.  It also discuss the role of sciencists in the government, and how it changed in the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34532133">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I find biographies generally not my cup of tea.  It's well-written, but a bit dry.  Or maybe I just didn't care enough about the person, though he did seem fascinating.<br/><br/>So, the three stars is totally due to my inability to keep reading it.  Maybe I should rethink that book on Tedd...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20971368">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wally Stegner and western history...what more could a reader want? This is a wonderful read that made me long for more manly men in our country to get things done. And Powell only had one arm! It's a riveting read that tells the story of the first Grand Canyon river run and then the rest of Powell's...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18728814">more...</a>]]></body>
