Sinossi
The campaigns director of a Berkeley-based environment and human rights organization, McCully stands by his assertion that dams have had massive negative impacts on nature and society, and that their benefits have been exaggerated and could often have been produced by less destructive and more equitable means. Here he updates his 1996 tract with recent information from the World Commission on Dams, evidence from the many dams built in the interval, and the flood of literature that is now being published about dams and their impact. Distributed in the US by Palgrave. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
