Tells the story of the river, for centuries untamed and unutilised, gradually being brought under control, its mighty energy turning huge turbines which in their turn drive wrirring generators to create electricity for homes and factories throughout the land. But the book is not about the river alone. It tells the story of the land through which the river flows and of some of the families who for generations have worked the land. More than 200 pages of text and illustrations.
