Book Annotated Bibliography of Bratsk and Krasnoiarsk Hydroelectric Projects in Central Siberia  USSR

Download or read book Annotated Bibliography of Bratsk and Krasnoiarsk Hydroelectric Projects in Central Siberia USSR written by and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated bibliography contains 352 references to books, monographs, pamphlets, and articles, largely from Soviet sources, on these 2 Siberian multiple-purpose projects being completed by Soviet constructors. The scope of the projects, size of the equipment being installed, and construction problems faced in an undeveloped taiga region with a severe climate make these projects of interest to American engineers. The USSR is understandably proud of its accomplishments and much has been written describing them. Soviet engineers have reported in detail the experience gained from the design, construction, and research problems and solutions as a basis for future construction of similar projects in Siberia. No effort has been made to evaluate the references, for the difference is usually one of attitude and not accuracy, and each contains some valuable or interesting information. The references are divided under these headings: General; Reservoirs and Dams; Powerplants; Turbines and Penstocks; Generators, Electrical Equipment, and Transmission Systems; Construction Materials and Equipment; and Welding and Metallurgy. They are relisted under headings of Bratsk and Krasnoiarsk by number, referring to the reference in the initial main category. Conversion nomographs, abbreviations and acronyms, and a list of Soviet technical periodicals are included under miscellaneous aids.

  • Author : Christopher Sneddon

  • Pages : 283 pages

Download or read book Concrete Revolution written by Christopher Sneddon and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water may seem innocuous, but as a universal necessity, it inevitably intersects with politics when it comes to acquisition, control, and associated technologies. While we know a great deal about the socioecological costs and benefits of modern dams, we know far less about their political origins and ramifications. In Concrete Revolution, Christopher Sneddon offers a corrective: a compelling historical account of the US Bureau of Reclamation’s contributions to dam technology, Cold War politics, and the social and environmental adversity perpetuated by the US government in its pursuit of economic growth and geopolitical power. Founded in 1902, the Bureau became enmeshed in the US State Department’s push for geopolitical power following World War II, a response to the Soviet Union’s increasing global sway. By offering technical and water resource management advice to the world’s underdeveloped regions, the Bureau found that it could not only provide them with economic assistance and the United States with investment opportunities, but also forge alliances and shore up a country’s global standing in the face of burgeoning communist influence. Drawing on a number of international case studies—from the Bureau’s early forays into overseas development and the launch of its Foreign Activities Office in 1950 to the Blue Nile investigation in Ethiopia—Concrete Revolution offers insights into this historic damming boom, with vital implications for the present. If, Sneddon argues, we can understand dams as both technical and political objects rather than instruments of impartial science, we can better participate in current debates about large dams and river basin planning.
