In recent academic journals, reviewers have continued to praise Bitter Waters: The Struggles of the Pecos River by Patrick Dearen of Pecos River Resolution Corporation:
“Compelling . . . Nicely deals with an often overlooked, but certainly beautiful, part of the West . . . A very complete story of the Pecos . . . [Readers] will find Dearen’s writing style one that will keep them engaged and interested.” – Technology and Culture
“Environmental journalism done right . . . Transcend[s] what might have been dry, fact-by-fact reporting, while at the same time avoids[s] an excessively emotion-laden appeal to defend and protect. . . . Bitter Waters is thorough, but tightly written and engaging; factual, but tinged with emotional appeal. Dearen’s approach could easily be applied to the study of other rivers, river systems, or non-riparian environments.” – Archivation Exploration
