New Book
This is release day for "Bitter Waters: The Struggles of the Pecos River," the first environmental history of the stream.
My 22nd book, "Bitter Waters" explores man's influence on the Pecos from 1583 to today throughout its 926 miles -- from its headwaters near Santa Fe, NM to its confluence with the Rio Grande on the Texas-Mexico border.
I also examine the river's many issues, including low flow, salinity, saltcedars, golden algae, threatened species, stakeholder conflicts, NM-TX water division, and proliferation of the headwaters forest.
"Bitter Waters" culminates six years of work during which I interviewed 160 individuals and gathered 1,400 files. My thanks to Pecos River Resolution Corporation, which sponsored this book, and to the N.S. Haley Memorial Library, whose underwriting allowed the University of Oklahoma Press to issue "Bitter Waters" in a hardcover edition.
It's available at http://www.oupress.com/ECommerce/Book.... Online booksellers also carry the title, in both print and ebook editions. If you're in the Midland area, I'll sign copies April 30 at the Haley Library, 1805 W. Indiana.
