"A book of unusual personality, charm, and force; it should greatly please a wide range of readers, including those sophisticated about conservation and land-use questions, and it should make even the hardest-line ranchers think some new thoughts about their future strategies."--Ernest Callenbach, author of "Ecotopia
"What a grand collaboration: Kittredge's words and the Blakes' images take us to the soul of the Klamath Country, at once a magnificent, battered, and resolute landscape. This finely-crafted blend of artistry, history, literature, public policy, and ecology tells the full and compelling story of one great western place and its people. In so doing, Balancing Water tells us a great deal about how, if we find the common will to work it right, we can shape the futures of other watersheds across the west."--Charles Wilkinson, Distinguished University Professor at the University of Colorado, and author of "Fire on the Plateau and "The Eagle Bird
"Coexistence has never been a popular principle in the American West, but as this book makes clear it has become indispensable for the survival of both endangered nature and endangered rural community. I was inspired by this brilliant collaboration of writer and photographers. They show a West that is changing for the good. They bring a message of hope that is compelling and timely." --Donald Worster, Hall Professor of American History, Univ of Kansas and author of "Rivers of Empire: Water, ARidity, and the Growth of the American West and "Nature's Economy: A History of Ecological Ideas

"This thought-provoking book is purported to be a capstone on the Southwest Region Under Stress Project, which extended from 1973 through 1978. The intended outgrowth of this extensive research endeavor was the anticipated inducement of viable public-sector state and local government policy alternatives... Even though this provocative volume is one of many scholarly publications which radiate from the aforementioned Southwest Under Stress Project, and would generally provide a worthy selection to the regional scholar's professional library, the variation in the topical content range implies a reader's choice classification. Several selections should prove to be beneficial to both undergraduate and graduate reading lists in courses related to economic geography, demographic economics, natural resources, and regional economics." -- Journal of Regional Science
