Written while Falk was involved in the first-ever American federal lawsuit seeking personhood and rights of nature for a major ecosystem, the Colorado River, this essay, at once lyrical and analytical, explores the American cultural, and his personal, relationship with one of the world's most famous--and most misunderstood--rivers. Responsible for speaking on the Colorado's behalf in court, Falk spent weeks traveling with the river asking her who she is and what she needs. With brutal honesty and an unflinching commitment to witnessing the river's wounds in all their painful detail, <em>How Dams Fall </em>is an intimate conversation between a human and a river. In a time when the Colorado River is at record low levels and water shortages look inevitable, this essay is a must-read for outdoor enthusiasts, naturalists, water advocates, and anyone who has ever fallen in love with the natural world.</p> <p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Will Falk</b> is a biophilic essayist, poet, and lawyer. The natural world speaks, but rarely in English. Wind and water, soil and stone, fin, fur, and feather are only a few dialects. Will's work is how he listens. He believes the intensifying destruction of the natural world is the most pressing issue confronting us today and he aims his writing at stopping this destruction. His writing has been published by Earth Island Journal, the <i>Dark Mountain Project, CounterPunch, Whole Terrain, </i> and the <i>San Diego Free Press</i>, among others.</p>
