Dam
Trevor Turpin
Dam, a new addition to Reaktion?s Objekt series, traces the development of dams from the Industrial Revolution to the present day through a number of themes ? both successes and failures ? including the extension of the design teams forming an alliance between engineering, architecture, landscape architecture and ecology. A profusely illustrated exploration of a previously neglected subject, this book is neither a polemic against dams nor a defence of their proliferation. It offers a fresh and much-needed account of their design, construction and function, which will appeal to dam engineers, environmentalists, historians and students, as well as those who previously recognized only The Dambusters march.
