Altamaha: A River and Its KeeperFormed by the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, the Altamaha is the largest free flowing river on the East Coast and drains its third largest watershed. It has been designated as one of the Nature Conservancy's seventy five Last Great Places because of its unique character and rich natural diversity.

Formed by the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, the Altamaha is the largest free-flowing river on the East Coast and drains its third-largest watershed. It has been designated as one of the Nature Conservancy's seventy-five Last Great Places because of its unique character and rich natural diversity. In evocative photography and elegant prose, Altamaha captures the distinctive beauty of this river and offers a portrait of the man who has become its improbable guardian.

Few people know the Altamaha better than James Holland. Raised in Cochran, Georgia, Holland spent years on the river fishing, hunting, and working its coastal reaches as a commercial crabber. Witnessing a steady decline in blue crab stocks, Holland doggedly began to educate himself on the area's environmental and political issues, reaching a deep conviction that the only way to preserve the way of life he loved was to protect the river and its watershed. In 1999, he began serving as the first Altamaha Riverkeeper, finding new purpose in protecting the river and raising awareness about its plight with people in his community and beyond.

At first Holland used photography to document pollution and abuse, but as he came to appreciate and understand the Altamaha in new ways, his photographs evolved, focusing more on the natural beauty he fought to save. More than 230 color photographs capture the area's majestic landscapes and stunning natural diversity, including a generous selection of some the 234 species of rare plants and animals in the region. In their essays, Janisse Ray offers a profile of Holland's transformation from orphan and troubled high school dropout to river advocate, and Dorinda G. Dallmeyer celebrates the biological richness and cultural heritage that the Altamaha offers to all Georgians.

Nice and sturdy.
Color: Black*2Pack
This system worked for what I needed. The metal wire trays are well-made and big enough to handle larger power strips. I was concerned when ordering it, as I have had to return several in the past, from other companies that were just too small. These, along with the wire holders, made channeling the wires behind my desk rather easy.

These worked out well
Color: Black*2Pack
These worked out well. One of the two baskets was bent a little so I had to adjust to make them match. The baskets are strong and they are holding multiple power supplies without issues. I don't prefer self tapping screws but I pre-drilled small pilot holes and they worked fine.

Racking Solution for Networking Devices
Color: White*2Pack, Color: White*2Pack
Guess I need to clean that wall... It's not noticeable in person but really came out in these pics lol THE REVIEW I bought these because I wanted to clean up and my networking setup. I refuse to get an all-in-one device from my cable provider, opting instead to purchase my own modem, router (Netgate), switch, and access point (Unifi Cube). This ends as spaghetti and meatballs setup of cables and devices. Nothing beats a racking system for isolating components, protecting them, airflow for cooling, etc. I've attached a couple of pics of the setup. From ground up, you go through modem, router, 10-port managed switch, and out to wifi access point and secondary 5-port switch that are in other rooms. I wanted something that would: - Get these off of the desk level in case of another coffee spill ;-) - Separate them enough to where they can breath without sucking up heat from one another - Keep cables neat/organized This turned out to be a very inexpensive and perfect solution.
