The politics of science.Fish versus Power is an environmental history of the Fraser River (British Columbia) and the attempts to dam it for power and to defend it for salmon. Amid contemporary debates over large dam development and declines in fisheries, this book offers a case study of a river basin where development decisions did not ultimately dam the river, but rather conserved its salmon. Although the case is local, its implications are global as Evenden explores the transnational forces that shaped the river, the changing knowledge and practices of science, and the role of environmental change in shaping environmental debate. The Fraser is the world's most productive salmon river; it is also a large river with enormous waterpower potential. Very few rivers in the developed world have remained undammed. On the Fraser, however, fish - not dams - triumphed, and this book seeks to explain why.Studies in environment and history.FishesConservationBritish ColumbiaFraser RiverHistoryPacific salmon fisheriesBritish ColumbiaFraser RiverHistoryHydroelectric power plantsEnvironmental aspectsFraser River (B.C.)Environmental conditionsHistoryFishesConservationHistory.Pacific salmon fisheriesHistory.Hydroelectric power plantsEnvironmental aspects.333.95/616/097113Evenden Matthew D(Matthew Dominic),1971-901852UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457913703321Fish versus power2451117UNINA03176nam 2200469 450 991081942120332120230508200848.01-920689-73-7(CKB)4100000009513075(MiAaPQ)EBC6321094(EXLCZ)99410000000951307520201210j201509 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierA far-away war Angola 1975-1989 /editors, Ian Liebenberg, Jorge Risquet, Vladimir Shubin ; co-editors, Gert van der Westhuizen, Hedelberto Lopez Blanch, Gennady ShubinStellenbosch, South Africa :Sun Press,[2015]©20151 online resource (209 pages) illustrations, maps1-920689-72-9 Includes bibliographical references (pages [165]-200) and index.1.

Bibliography on the border war / Gert van der Westhuizen.South Africa's armed forces invaded Angola in 1975, setting off a war that had consequences for the whole region that are still felt today. A Far-Away War contributes to a wider understanding of this war in Angola and Namibia. The book does not only look at the war from an 'old' South African (Defence Force) perspective, but also gives a voice to participants 'on the other side' -- emphasising the role of the Cubans and Russians. This focus is supplemented by the inclusion of many never-before-published photographs from Cuban and Russian archives, and a comprehensive bibliography.AngolaHistorySouth African Incursions, 1978-1990AngolaHistorySouth African Invasion, 1975-1976South AfricaHistory, Military1961-967.3041Liebenberg IanLópez Blanch HedelbertoRisquet JorgeVan der Westhuizen GertShubin G.
