About the Ebook
Description : Photographer Dale Schreiner visualizes multiple narratives inherent in the restoration of a Portland, Oregon floodplain. He explores the effects of re-naturalizing an area that had been adapted to support manufacturing and agriculture for more than a century. However, along with the expected benefits of reduced flooding and recovering fish populations, came the unanticipated adoption of the Foster Floodplain Natural Area as a campground for the homeless. Transformation is, in essayist's Friderike Heuer's estimation, "a sensitive and artful progression from natural beauty to human suffering to the human will to persist, with courage and self-determination."
