Description

The subject of tremendous controversy, the L.A River has become a revered geographical icon that for too long was left neglected and unappreciated. Once, the river was the very source of the City of Angels--it meant life and death to those who lived along its shores. To some, it is still so. Today the Los Angeles River represents a 21st-century challenge: the preservation of a fifty-one-mile river where nature, commerce, concrete and humanity fight for space. Television commentator and Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrison and celebrated photographer Mark Lamonica have teamed to present the river in its diverse context, a waterway as unique as the city through which it meanders.--From publisher description.
