Christine Macy is an associate professor at Dalhousie University, Halifax. She lives in Nova Scotia.
Review:
“Wonderfully illustrated...contributes to a greater understanding about dams within the United States, and, by the same token, presents a history of dam design and projects the subject into the realm of a world phenomenon.”
- Colonial Latin American Historical Review
“[A]n impressive―not to mention comprehensive―treatise on the dams of North America....To be sure, Dams is designed to appeal to architects, engineers, designers and students of those disciplines, but it’s also accessible to the casual reader.”
- Jason Zasky, Failure Magazine
