A View of the River

With the Midwest under water, America had a chance to see how effectively it had "improved" its rivers. Download A View of the River from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. We've straightened and dredged them, revetted and rerouted them, made massive efforts to control them, yet our actions have been less than successful. Too often, physical changes made to a river conflict with natural processes, resulting in damage rather than alleviating it. Applying available knowledge on how rivers form and act could prevent such problems. Luna B. Leopold seeks to organize such knowledge. Widely regarded as the most creative scholar in the field of river morphology, Leopold presents a coherent description of the river, its shape, size, organization, and action, along with a consistent theory that explains much of th Search and find a lot of engineering books in many category availabe for free download.
