520    "From one of the last working fire lookouts comes this 
       sequel to the award-winning Fire Season--a story of 
       calamity and resilience in the world's first Wilderness.A 
       dozen years into his dream job keeping watch over the Gila
       National Forest of New Mexico, Philip Connors bore witness
       to the blaze he had always feared: a megafire that forced 
       him off his mountain by helicopter, and forever changed 
       the forest and watershed he loved. It was one of many 
       transformations that arrived in quick succession, not just
       fire and flood, but the death of a fellow lookout in a 
       freak accident and a tragic plane crash that rocked the 
       community he called home. Beginning as an elegy for a 
       friend he cherished like a brother, A Song for the River 
       opens into a chorus of voices singing in celebration of a 
       landscape redolent with meaning--and the river that runs 
       through it, whose waters are threatened by a potential 
       dam. The ways of water and the ways of fire, the lines 
       tragedy carves on a life, the persistent renewal of green 
       shoots sprouting from ash: these are the subjects of A 
       Song for the River. Its argument on behalf of things wild 
       and free could not be more timely; the goal is nothing 
       less than permanent protection for that rarest of things 
       in the American West, a free-flowing river--the sinuous 
       and gorgeous Gila."--Amazon
