Description

Book Synopsis
Amid contemporary debates over large dam development and declines in fisheries, this book offers a case study of a river basin (Fraser River, in British Columbia) where development decisions did not ultimately dam the river, but rather conserved its salmon.

Trade Review
"Evenden approaches the story of hydroelectric power from a fresh angle. [...] Unlike many other environemtnal histories, Evenden's book offers a relatively hopeful tale, one where a balance between technological progress and preservation is struck." National Post, Canada
