Description: Deep in the northern interior of British Columbia lies Williston Lake, a vast human-made reservoir born from one of Canada's most ambitious hydroelectric projects. This book traces the lake's complex story, from the construction of the W.A.C. Bennett Dam and the flooding of the Peace River valley to the enduring impact on the First Nations whose homelands were submerged. Through chapters on boreal ecology, shifting shorelines, seasonal ice, and the practicalities of navigating its remote waters, readers gain a rich portrait of a landscape both engineered and wild. A thoughtful exploration for anyone drawn to northern geography, environmental history, and the places where human ambition meets the natural world.
