Synopsis
In this classic, award-winning narrative history of the construction of Glen Canyon Dam in the 1950s and 1960s, the author captures the individual, cultural, political, and environmental dramas that brought into being the environmental movement as we know it today. Because of its impact on ecological processes downstream and its drowning of natural landscapes behind its headwall, Glen Canyon Dam is still at the vortex of controversy. The first edition was published in 1989. This edition contains a new foreword by the author. Martin is a visiting assistant professor of English at Colorado College. Annotation c.
