Inventing Niagara: Beauty, Power, and Lies
Chocoholic avatar reviewed on + 291 more book reviews


An interesting read about the history of Niagara Falls through the present. The author deftly exposes the truth behind Native American myths and explores the falls from every possible angle, from landscaping, to the hydropower generated by the falls and the radioactive neighborhood. Surprising, thought-provoking, and disturbing all at the same time. Easy to read, and not "dry" at all.
