Barenti Klappentext Mike Barenti is a writer and journalist who has worked as a reporter for the Yakima Herald-Republic and the Idaho Falls Post Register and has taught English and creative writing at various colleges. He has published work in such journals as River Teeth and Ascent. Zusammenfassung The Columbia and its tributaries are rivers of conflict. Mike Barenti entered the heart of this conflict when he slid a whitewater kayak into the headwaters of central Idaho's Salmon River and started paddling toward the Pacific Ocean. This is a narrative of man and nature! one-on-one! but also of man and nature writ large.
