Award for "Bitter Waters: The Struggles of the Pecos River"
Friday night in Albuquerque, my book "Bitter Waters: The Struggles of the Pecos River" won the 2016 New Mexico-Arizona Book Award for nature/environment.
The field of eight finalists included books published by university and other presses.
"Bitter Waters" grew out of the efforts of Pecos River Resolution Corporation, which commissioned me to research and write the environmental story of the Pecos.
My thanks to the New Mexico Book Co-op for this award. After five years of research and writing, it's gratifying to be recognized in this way.
"Bitter Waters" details man's progressive impact on the Pecos and explores the river's many issues and the potential for solutions.
Published by University of Oklahoma Press, it's available through book stores and from online sellers.
