Breaching the Peace: The Site C Dam and a Valley's Stand against Big Hydro - Cox, Sarah

Clean, tight, unmarked; email address on title page; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; The inspiring and astonishing story of the farmers and First Nations who stood up against the most expensive megaproject in British Columbia history and the government-sanctioned bullying that propelled it forward. Cox reveals the true costs and hidden dangers of the project, as told to her b y the local farmers, ranchers, and First Nations leaders who tried to stop the dam and the wholesale destruction of their valley in courts of law and the court of public opinion. This modern-day David and Goliath story, told in frank and moving prose, stands as much-needed cautionary tale during an era when concerns about global warming have helped justify a renaissance of environmentally irresponsible hydro megaprojects around the world.
