Book excerpt: Great cities have grown around great rivers, but L.A. has always disregarded hers. RIO L.A. tells the poetic story of the river with NPR contributor and Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrison's words and Mark Lamonica's startling photographs. Their 'RIO L.A.' demonstrates that this river is as vital and mystical as the city it transects. It is an amazing story told by two people who have experienced every foot of the river's 51 miles. As the authors prove, the Los Angeles River is the life source of America's most important city. Illustrated with full colour photos throughout.
