In Downstream Toward Home, Oliver A. Houck recounts his six decades exploring America's waterways, from unnamed creeks and Louisiana swamps to the rivers of western canyons and the Alaskan tundra. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis engaging travelogue leads readers down over thirty-two rivers found across the country. Along the way Houck provides quiet observations as he finds footprints of red wolves on a sandbank or paddles through an aqueous forest of cypress trees. Collectively, these moments of adventure and introspection reveal his distinct and extraordinary vision of the national landscape. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the thrill of approaching rapids to the peace of resting on a shoal, Houck's narrative draws from history and personal experience subtly to remind us how each body of water plays an outsized role in its surrounding environment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once a journal, a primer, and a guide, Downstream Toward Home is an invitation to create our own experiences on America's rivers.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Downstream Toward Home: A Book of Rivers | Oliver A Houck | Hardcover | 9780807157459 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1766364","offer_id":49376928202904,"sku":"1766364","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51UXOHwJaWL.jpg?v=1783023006","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/downstream-toward-home-a-book-of-rivers","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
