The
delta formed by the Alabama and Tensaw rivers at the head of Mobile Bay is
one of the
nation’s most unique and valuable ecosystems. The area has rich history,
diverse plant and
animal life, great beauty, and is threatened by industry and development.
Alabama poet laureate
Sue Walker set out to capture the Delta in words, which are accompanied by
the lush color
photographs of internationally acclaimed wildlife photographer and
documentarian Dennis
Holt. The book includes history, science, poetry, and interviews with
people who live in the
Delta as well as those who are trying to save it. The book is a
medium-sized coffee-table format.
