Everyone interested in the natural history of our region should read this."" - The Buffalo News ""Living Waters explores tributaries and rivers that feed and drain to Great Lakes across New York State and down the St. Lawrence with an appreciation for their rich natural and cultural histories, and an awareness of their impact on the largest freshwater ecosystem in the world. Aldo Leopold, a guiding voice throughout, once said that the best way to nurture an environmental ethic in society is to help people see, feel, love and have faith in actual places. These river stories cultivate that intimacy."" - Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Chairman, Waterkeeper Alliance ""This is a tremendously good book. People tend to overlook the magnificently aqueous nature of New York State and Living Waters does that watery topography a great deal of justice."" - Bill McKibben ""This is one of the most important and entertaining chronicles ever written of Great Lakes Country. Wooster is a sharp-eyed journalist, a talented writer, and a big-hearted member of the Great Lakes community."" - Dave Dempsey, author of On the Brink: The Great Lakes in the 21st Century and Great Lakes for Sale"
