Historic LoDo: Journalist, author and traveler Richard Starks and writer and editor Miriam Murcutt will present a slideshow and sign their fascinating new book Along the River That Flows Uphill: From the Orinoco to the Amazon ($19.95 Haus). The Casiquiare is unique. There is no other river like it on the planet. Somehow it manages to unite the two river systems of the Orinoco and the Amazon that should, by rights, be entirely separate, and the Casiquiare performs the astonishing feat of flowing up and over the watershed that divides them. Starks and Murcutt traveled along the Casiquiare at the behest of the Royal Geographical Society to gather information about the river and the fierce Yanomami tribe that still maintains its austere and primitive lifestyle in the region.
