By following container ships as they travel downstream along maritime routes and tracing rivers upstream across the populated watershed that feeds the canal, it explores the politics of environmental management around a waterway that links faraway ports and markets to nearby farms, forests, cities, and rural communities.Infrastructures series.Panama Canal (Panama)Design and constructionPanama Canal (Panama)Social conditionsPanama Canal (Panama)Environmental aspectsElectronic books.972.87/505Carse Ashley1977-1047316MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463811103321Beyond the big ditch2474814UNINA
