Sinopse

Dams of America explores the multifaceted role of dams in the United States, examining them not just as feats of civil engineering and crucial infrastructure, but also as significant factors in environmental impact and sustainable water management. Dams provide hydroelectric power and aid water resources, yet they also pose ecological consequences. Discover how these concrete giants have shaped the American landscape, particularly in the American West, influencing everything from water supply to flood control.

 
The book highlights intriguing facts, such as how early dams powered mills, contributing to industrial growth, while later structures like the Hoover Dam addressed flood control and electricity generation during the New Deal era. It progresses from fundamental concepts of dam engineering and hydrology to case studies of specific dams, grouped geographically or by type, and culminates in proposing strategies for sustainable practices. By connecting engineering reports, environmental impact statements, historical records, and scientific studies, the book provides a comprehensive overview.

 
This book uniquely balances the benefits of dams with their environmental and social costs, offering a fact-based and accessible analysis. It's valuable for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history and future of American infrastructure, providing a framework for evaluating dams' costs and benefits and informing decisions about their management, including dam removal and alternative energy sources.

    A powerful, entertaining and, at times, eviscerating commentary on the most controversial of original superfoods. 
     
    Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. 
     
    The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased. 
     
    Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.
