Description: Journey along one of North America's mightiest rivers and discover how a series of colossal concrete structures transformed the Pacific Northwest. From the pre-dam Columbia to the engineering marvels of Grand Coulee and Bonneville, this book traces the ambitions, ingenuity, and consequences behind the region's hydroelectric empire. Along the way, it examines the machinery that keeps the water moving, the fish populations caught in the balance, and the economic lifelines these dams sustain. A clear-eyed look at infrastructure, ecology, and the choices that will shape the river's next century.
