Liminal Zones: Where Lakes End and Rivers Begin (UT Press, 2013)
"Over and over, Trevathan's detailed descriptions are superb!" Sam Venable, columnist, Knoxville News Sentinel
"In this age of Global Warming, with experts telling us we have only another ten years to change our ecologically unsound ways before we reach a point of no return, Kim Trevathan's voice is an essential one. ...Trevathan has given us a sweeping view of America's waterways and their current complexities, and his account of their sublimity can inspire us to do the hard work of environmental activism that lies ahead." From Jacque Day Pallone's review in New Madrid Review (Scroll to bottom of linked page.)
Review of Liminal Zones in Chapter 16 :
http://www.chapter16.org/content/kim-trevathan-paddles-upstream-search-transitions-between-flooded-and-natural-rivers
From Ralph Bowden's Review in Chapter 16:"Trevathan chronicles his kayak and canoe journeys upstream from flatwater, current-less lakes and reservoirs to places where rivers rise above the flooding and come alive. It’s an elastic theme, allowing Trevathan, an assistant professor of writing at Maryville College, to range over a variety of writing types, from a straightforward, journal-style narrative to passages of both lyrical and gritty description, not only of the landscape but also of the people he encounters: campers, fishermen, river guides, and bystanders. His theme also leads to reflections on the meaning and role of rivers historically, spiritually, and culturally, and how unintended consequences often accompany tinkering in the name of progress."
Recent Feedback on Paddling the Tennessee River: A Voyage on Easy Water: "I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your adventure as well as your raising awareness about the plight of the Tennessee River... I went out this evening and purchased ten more copies of your book, which I plan to give to my environmentally-aware family and friends. Thanks again for a wonderful story and congratulations on having such a supporting cast of family who was with you along your journey." Ralph Comer, Brentwood, TN
