BOOK REVIEW: Peachtree Creek

Peachtree Creek, Atlanta's major watershed, is ignored by most residents on a daily basis as it passes through affluent areas as well as polluted culverts. Dave Kaufman spent 13 years paddling the creek and researching its history and the effects on the Atlanta area. He shows you historical images and color photographs from the past to the present and how it has shaped the history of the area. This book is a fascinating read for all interested in local history and conservation. For those of us who are long time residents of Atlanta, we have seen the changing of Peachtree Creek from a trickle to a torrent in just hours. Kaufman suggests ways to a more sustainable stewardship of Peachtree Creek. Consider this book as a great gift item for the holidays. You may find this book on our sidebar ad from Amazon.
