Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This meticulously researched book unflinchingly tackles the complexities of the Panama Canal, critiquing previously accepted methods of construction and proposing a scientific alternative. The author, an American engineer with decades of experience studying interoceanic waterways, asserts that a more rigorously scientific approach to the Canal's design and engineering was warranted from the outset and continues to be crucial for its future success and efficient operation. The book's main focus is on a novel three-part system of operation involving terminal lakes, an innovative Chagres River control system, and strategically redesigned terminal harbors. This system, the author argues, would have prevented the structural problems that have plagued the Canal since its inception and would provide a foundation for its continued global significance in the 21st century.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the Panama Canal project, exposing the monumental decits and masked evils that have shadowed the faith of the American people in their national ideal. The initial grant was one hundred and forty -ve millions, yet with an additional eight million and the various sums authorized by Congress for canal purposes, the appropriations total over two billion dollars. Over ten draining years and a total cost, with interest, of upwards of 550 millions are still needed to complete the construction. Despite the enormous funds poured into the project, the excavation of the Culebra Cut, the backbone of the canal, is still unaccomplished. The report of 1907, ostensibly the best annual review yet made, sidesteps responsibility for the perilous design, echoing the same hollow reassurances voiced by the experts whose flawed Wachusett Dam prototype continues to slide in its crucial mass. The labor problem also remains unsolved. The author argues that the only way of redemption lies in a different canal design, one that incorporates low dams, separate locks, and a program of synchronous execution. This alternative method would also address the labor issue by replacing a large contingent of foreign colored and white labor with relatively small forces of skilled Americans. Providing a vital and fresh perspective on this historic endeavor, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the true story of the Panama Canal.
