What They're Saying
Critics Review
“History, science, and geography meet the beauty and creativity of old-world cartography in this stunning visual display of the rivers that flow over mountains and valleys, across deserts, on all seven continents, and into the world’s oceans.” – Starred Review, Foreword Reviews
“A broad, shallow, teeming torrent of facts and marvels: Readers tempted to take a dip will be swept irresistibly along.”
– Kirkus Reviews“The presentation is appropriately fluid, focusing less on individual locations or relative distances and more on the interconnectivity of the world’s bodies of water.”
– Publishers Weekly“Wonderful for locational knowledge and with all sorts of information, there’s something for any curious mind.“
