Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Do not agree with the posted review. A keeper and reread if History and Economic Policy and the Enviroment are of your value. This book is written Newspaper style lke the Authors eppreiences (Washington Post). It is short stories and interviews of stakeholders of the Columbia River. The past promices made, the conflicts of outcomes that were chosen that resulted in a "changed river, and and a changed economy. Examaines at deph the sucess of those schemes made years ago and the results as of 1996. Compliments another book ""Nothwest Passage" by William Diethich (Vancouver -Columbian/ Seattle Times) 1996. which covers similar issues, in same style. Both books give a lot of information- some technical - but in newspaper fashion understandable by all. Not wordy like a Mitchner, nor a Guide book. To get the contemporary background of todays enviromental issues, and stake holders, both are a "must read set." --> Forces the Reader to realize the same facts are interpeted by our own experiences, values into entirely different beliefs and opinions. A seldom seen or writen about human condition. I seldom say "keepers" or "must read" but for these 2 books, yes it is fitting.
