Not long ago, it was seriously threatened by pollution. Now it is coming back to life as a waterway where fish and birds can thrive again?a river valued once more by communities along its shores. The sloop Clearwater, founded by folksinger Pete Seeger, has been at the vanguard of this river revival. The environmental education program on board the sloop has taught thousands of children and adults to love the river. Building on its achievements, The Hudson, brings a wealth of knowledge to a wider audience. Covering the full sweep of the river?s natural history and human heritage, this book introduces readers to the river?s diversity of plants and wildlife, to the geological forces that created it, to the people who explored and settled its banks, to its enduring place in American history and art, and to the battles waged over its environmental preservation. This revised edition also includes new information on the importance of the Hudson?s watershed, the impacts of invasive species, and the latest data on the river?s toxic PCB contamination, as well as new scholarship on the river?s history. In engaging illustrations, maps, and text??distilled from the best research on the Hudson?s habitat and history??this unique book invites you to explore the river yourself. 606 $aStream ecology$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 606 $aNatural history$zHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.) 607 $aHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.)$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aHudson River (N.Y. and N.J.)$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aStream ecology 615 0$aNatural history 676 $a917.473 700 $aStanne$b Stephen P., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01234250 702 $aForist$b Brian E., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPanetta$b Roger G., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 712 02$aHudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc., 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151621703321 996 $aThe Hudson$92866988 997 $aUNINA
