Отрывок из книги

“If the Colorado River were to take on human manifestation, it would have written this book. How Dams Fall is beautiful, lyrical, honest, loving, and angry. It is a necessary book. Read it. Absorb it. Then go to a river—any river—and listen to what the river needs. Help the dams to fall and the rivers to live.”

–Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words

“Will Falk agreed to act as a guardian to the Colorado River in federal court. Taking his responsibilities seriously, he made a 4,000 mile journey to listen to the river. How Dams Fall is his report back. It’s a piercing elegy of terrible grief, a catalog of continental exploitation and extraction. Along the way, Falk follows his own despair, refusing the cheap relief of false hope. In its place, Falk gives us something rare and true: his love for the river, an unwavering covenant that we all must enter if we are to save this planet. Let How Dams Fall help carry us forward until the day when all dams fall and the waters are free again.”

–Lierre Keith, author of Deep Green Resistance
