AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Alter's prose is lucid and even paced, and his observations are usually incisive. At times, however, SACRED WATERS lacks the vitality and spontaneity that in travel writing can be the difference between drawing readers in and keeping them at arm's length. But Alter's erudition is still a considerable draw, extending as it does beyond the region's mythology to its botany, geology and zoology as well to the impact of road building, damming and tourism.Alter, Stephen is the author of 'Sacred Waters A Pilgrimage Up the Ganges River to the Source of Hindu Culture', published 2001 under ISBN 9780151005857 and ISBN 0151005850.
