Book excerpt: Since the late nineteenth century, Niagara Falls has been heavily engineered to generate energy behind a flowing façade designed to appeal to tourists. Fixing Niagara Falls reveals the technological feats and cross-border politics that facilitated the transformation of one of the most important natural sites in North America. Daniel Macfarlane shows how this natural wonder is essentially a tap: huge tunnels around the reconfigured Falls channel the waters of the Niagara River, which ebb and flow according to the tourism calendar. This book offers a unique interdisciplinary and transborder perspective on how the Niagara landscape embodies the power of technology and nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Niagara Power, Vol. 1 of 2: History of the Niagara Falls Power Company, 1886-1918; Evolution of Its Central Power Station and Alternating Current System; History and Power Projects When started thirty years ago, The Niagara Falls Power Company was the greatest hydro-electric enterprise in the world, with water turbines larger than any at that time in existence. Today, having kept step with the marvelous development of the art, it still retains that distinction as its latest water turbines are not only the largest but also the most efficient now in use. The author of these volumes was for twenty years the president of The Cataract Construction Company which erected the original power stations at Niagara Falls and gave financial stability to the then Niagara Falls Power Company. He was intimately associated with every step in the development and personally sought out and interested the eminent international engineers whose counsel and advice were so helpful in the pioneer work. Well might he say with Virgil, All of these things I saw, and a great part of them, I was. It is pleasant to note in this connection that for his work at Niagara Falls, Mr. Adams was awarded the John Fritz Medal, the highest honor at the bestowal of the four senior national engineering societies of this country.

Constant, gentle and devoted to Bess, he understands better than anyone the awesome and potentially devastating power of the falls - and consoles her through a tragedy that nearly ruins her.
