Description

Writer Annette McGivney explores the controversy and the history of water politics within the American Southwest through the lens of the re-emergence of Glen Canyon as a result of an ongoing drought. More than 125 large images by photographer James Kay capture the wonderful thing about the legendary canyons of Glen Canyon as they emerge into the light of day for the first time in nearly 40 years. Each and every chapter opens with a journal excerpt that personalizes the Glen Canyon story, and the book concludes with a list of really helpful hikes within the area if you want to draw outside enthusiasts to reemerging attractions.



Throughout her account, McGivney stresses the need for a new model of living within the American West — the U.S. Department of the Interior will have to shift its water policy to meet changing needs and Americans will have to live more sustainably, especially within the arid West.



Resurrection eloquently demonstrates why Americans must stand at the back of the renewal of Glen Canyon and accord it protection as a national park-both to honor the area as a national treasure and to preserve it for future generations.
