Reviews for The Connecticut River: A Photographic Journey Into the Heart of New England (Garnet Books)
"For generations, New England literally turned its back on the dirty Connecticut. But in recent years, as its waters have cleared, we've rediscovered the backbone of the region, this charming and gorgeous braid of water. These pictures are a reminder of its quiet glory." BILL McKIBBEN, professor of environmental studies, Middlebury College"
