Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 58
When it comes to climate-change-inspired threats, it is rising sea levels we hear most about. But if the oceans are, as Herman Melville put it, “the tide-beating heart of the Earth”, rivers are its circulatory system. In the United States, there is no river more storied, symbolic, and vital than the Mississippi, and none, to use Mark Twain’s word, more lawless. The struggle to control it has been going on nearly as long as there has been human civilization on its banks, and the attendant drama and dangers have been memorialized by many writers.

Stunning Informative and Scarry as Hell

Very short recording
Revisado: 09-07-22
I am a big fan of Simon Winchester, and am an even bigger fan of the Mississippi River. But, was very disappointed to learn that this recording was under 1 1/2 hours long. Way too short to use up 1 whole credit. If you are really interested in the learning more about the river, stick to Mark Twain.
