Niagara Falls

Beauty and Power
Environmental writer Ginger Strand's Inventing Niagara: Beauty, Power, and Lies tells the story of one of the world's most famous natural landmarks. All players find a place in Strand's popular history book: the Mohawk Tribe, honeymooners, thrill seekers, power and tourism industries.

This is one very readable book, chock full of surprises we'll not give away. The book does, however, ask you to form your own conclusions about our relationship with nature, commerce, and everything in between.
