Reviews

""Tara Lohan's book brought tears of joy to my eyes with her beautiful descriptions of the need for--and the growing success of--river restorations and the restoration that happens to our souls when we take down old, unsafe, and damaging dams and let our rivers run free once more.""--Peter H. Gleick, cofounder and President Emeritus, Pacific Institute ""Lohan weaves a compelling narrative and gives voice to the communities--human, aquatic, and even avian--dam removal can benefit. She sheds light on stories of recovery and hope as she traverses the country--a much needed balm in this day and age."" --Serena S. McClain, Senior Director, National Dam Removal Program, American Rivers ""The best journalists know the most important stories are often found by hanging back after a big event. Brilliantly tracking rivers after dams come down, Lohan fishes up untold stories of renewal and connection--for water, wildlife, and people. Undammed is the rare uplifting environmental book that proves we can mend the world.""--Cynthia Barnett, author of ""The Sound of the Sea""
