Product Information

The ugly truth about dams is about to be revealed. During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the whole messy truth about the legacy of last century's big dam building binge has come to light. What started out as an arguably good government project has drifted oceans away from that original virtuous intent. Governments plugged the nation's rivers in a misguided attempt to turn them into revenue streams. Water control projects' main legacy will be one of needless ecological destruction, fostering a host of unnecessary injustices. The estimated 800,000 dams in the world can't be blamed for destroying the earth's entire biological inheritance, but they play an outsized role in that destruction. Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Crazy World is a kind of speed date with the history of water control -- its dams, diversions and canals, and just as importantly, the politics and power that evolved with them. Examples from the American West reveal that the costs of building and maintaining a sprawling water storage and delivery complex in an arid world--growing increasingly arid under the ravages of climate chaos--is well beyond the benefits furnished. Success stories from Patagonia and the Blue Heart of Europe point to a possible future where rivers run free and the earth restores itself.

Reviews
"Both troubling and encouraging, a well-told tale of environmental activism and citizen action." --Kirkus Reviews about Recovering a Lost River, A teaching tool and a call to ac­tion, this well-researched and well-illustrated book should be required reading for any outdoorsman or woman who cares about rivers and watersheds: "Dam removal is not purely an engineering game, nor strictly an exercise in ecological improvement. It's a grassroots organizing project ... a revival of the practice of community-level democracy." -- Gray's Sporting Journal, In compelling detail and persuasive argument, Steven Hawley makes a case for the immeasurable environmental, economic, and social damage wrought by the damming of American waterways. Sold to an unwary public as a panacea, industrial dams have, according to Hawley's eloquent reporting, proved themselves in many cases to be exactly the opposite -- stunningly destructive, wasteful, and, in the end, beneficial to only a very few wealthy people and corporations. Hawley's message is driven home with page after page of vibrant and chilling photography that makes this book as beautiful as it is impelling. -- Big Sky Journal, "Hawley's thorough research makes a damning case for rethinking how to source water, and anecdotes about ecosystems that have flourished after dam removals strike an optimistic note about the road ahead. Environmentalists will be riveted." -- Publisher's Weekly, "Lavishly displayed color photographs help illustrate Hawley's narrative, which might motivate a nationwide rethinking of these extravagantly expensive, outdated systems." -- Alan Moores, Booklist Starred Review
