  Free-flowing rivers in the United States are an endangered species. With more than 500,000 dams in place, we've dammed and diverted almost every major river, straightening curves and blocking passage for fish and other aquatic animals, pushing many to the brink. Now a heartening new movement is helping to demolish harmful or obsolete structures and restore new life to rivers and the communities that depend on them. In doing so, it offers a pathway to undoing environmental harm to nature—and to ourselves.In Undammed, environmental journalist Tara Lohan takes a clear-eyed look at the unexpected benefits of dam removal after centuries of dam-building. In helping to restore rivers, she argues, we're protecting our own communities by improving water quality, enhancing public safety, and boosting fish populations that feed people and restore rights for Native American Tribes. In Europe, where river barriers occur almost every half-mile, the US movement is spurring a rival effort to restore natural flow to rivers degraded by obstructions.Undammed is an inspirational look at our changing relationship with the natural world, showing the cascade of benefits that come when we no longer turn our backs on rivers. And in helping to restore rivers, we're helping ourselves.

  Throughout history, humankind has marveled at the natural world, from the majesty of towering mountains to the depths of the oceans. Yet, some phenomena defy explanation, remaining elusive and enigmatic. One such phenomenon is the sonic anomaly known as Sound's Fury—a violent, inexplicable burst of sound that seems to break all the rules of nature. Its origins, causes, and implications have puzzled scientists, captivated the public, and left a trail of unanswered questions. This book delves deep into the sonic enigma, exploring its mystery and the far-reaching impact it has had on the world. 
  Sound's Fury, a term coined to describe these overwhelming sonic events, is not a fictional occurrence but a genuine, puzzling phenomenon that has been observed around the globe. The first reports came from isolated locations where communities were shaken by intense, thunderous sounds that appeared out of nowhere, yet left no visible source. It wasn't long before similar incidents began to spread across different regions, sparking intrigue, fear, and a sense of helplessness among those who experienced them. What makes this phenomenon even more baffling is the absence of any clear pattern or consistent explanation. 
  Over time, experts have tried to analyze these events from a scientific standpoint. Acousticians, geophysicists, and even space scientists have worked tirelessly to find answers. They have proposed several theories, ranging from natural phenomena like sonic booms or atmospheric anomalies to more complex, speculative causes, such as unknown seismic activities or extraterrestrial influences. Despite their best efforts, none of these explanations have fully captured the essence of Sound's Fury or provided a definitive answer.
