Let the Water do the Work: Stories of first descents and the soulful art of rowing whitewater

Vivid, and page turning, Let the Water Do the Work will grab and hurtle you straight into the boats and minds of men and women facing the uncertainty of exploration into wild rivers and their capacity to reach new limits.

In the words of Kevin Fedarko, the New York Times bestselling author of The Emerald Mile, Fox's book "is a dance of words no less fluid and every bit as graceful as the rivers it celebrates."

Told without sentimentality, Fox’s edge-of-your-seat stories come from a lifetime of studying and rowing wild rivers. In this memoir, action adventure, and history, Fox invites us to remember our own deepest feelings of growing up and coming of age. For river runners and non-river runners this is a story told from the heart, of reaching an understanding with the natural world, finding our humanity and a place to belong.
