Braided River engages audiences beyond the traditional environmental community to protect western North America's last wild places and create a sustainable future.
Braided River combines the arts of photography and literature to produce books, multimedia presentations, and museum exhibits that build broader public support for wilderness preservation campaigns—and inspire public action.
Braided River Wins Independent Publisher Award
The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World with photographs by Steven Kazlowski won a tie for the gold medal in the category of Environment, Ecology, and Nature.
The Independent Publisher Book Awards, launched in 1996, reward the work of publishers “who exhibit the courage and creativity necessary to take chances, break new ground, and bring about change, not only to the world of publishing, but to our society.”
The “IPPY” Awards were designed to bring increased recognition to the deserving but often unsung titles published by independent authors and publishers who produce books written in English for the North American market.
Over 3380 books were entered in 65 categories by independent, university, small press, and self-publishers. Established as the first awards program open exclusively to independents, the “IPPYs” recognize hundreds of the year’s best books, bringing them to the attention of booksellers, buyers, librarians, and book lovers around the world.
