| The Lessening Stream: An Environmental History of the Santa Cruz River. By Michael Logan. Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2002. xiii + 311 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $35.00
|
| Michael Logan's book is an environmental history of the Santa Cruz River in southern Arizona, which provides an examination of the inverse symbiotic relationship between the river and human settlement in the region around Tucson. Just as human settlement has been shaped by the presence of the river, so too has the fate of the river been largely determined by human settlement. Based largely on secondary sources, Logan has done an excellent job of documenting the ebb and flow of the river over the course of twelve thousand years, with the bulk of his attention being on the last five hundred years. |
