This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winter Sports at Huntington Lake Lodge OR centuries snow and rain have fallen on the High Sierras of California making the rills, brooklets, streams and rivers that, through out the year, pour forth their vivifying waters into the heart of the thirsty valleys which lie toward the Western Sea. Indians have roamed over these High Sierras, have fished and bathed in these waters, and there their usefulness seems to have ended. But the resistless anglo-saxon invaded the scene, first as trapper, then as miner, cattle-man, lumberman, fisherman, lover of majestic scenery, and finally as conservator of the mountain's natural resources. Among other of these resources the greatest was found to be the potentialities of the waters for the development of electric energy. In the far-away cities of the valleys, and even of regions across other ranges of mountains were cities of rest less, energetic peoples demanding vast supplies of electricity for lighting and heating their homes, streets, stores, and markets, for driving their street cars, automobiles, machines and power plants. Modern Science saw in the Sierran streams the means of supplying these demands, hence it linked hands with Capital to wrest from these snow-born waters the electrical energy they contained. Roads were engineered and built into the mountains, sites for the erection of gigantic dams were chosen which would impound great masses of these hitherto vag rant waters and thus create beautiful lakes in the midst of scenic glories and wonders unsurpassed on the face of the earth. Busy men came and blasted great masses of granite from quarries createdby the Eternal; then the roads were lined. With steel - man's track for the iron horse, - and soon loco motives and trains of cars were carrying men and supplies for the more rapid prosecution of the work in these once unknown mountain recesses. Like magic the dams came into existence. Modern Alad dins flashed their lamps and buildings equivalent to the palaces and temples of antiquity sprang up, in which hydro-electric power-plants were stored; a large lake five miles long and a mile broad ap peared; tons of steel for towers, and tons of steel-cored aluminum cable for transmission lines were supplied to the hordes of busy men, who like never-resting ants cut wide pathways through the-trees, up and down canyons and ravines that hitherto had felt only the tread of the foot of panther, lynx, coyote or Indian. Cement bases for great towers were laid; the steel beams arose in air; the lines of cable were stretched up, down, across, ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred, two hundred and fifty miles to far-away Los Angeles, the growing metropolis of California of the South. In the mean time an 84-inch pipe, tapering down to 24 inches, built to resist nine hundred pounds pressure, was laid, reaching from the lake - whichshad already been named after the chief capitalist interested in the project, Huntington Lake - twenty-one hundred and three feet below to where the power-house stood. Here were placed on solid granite founda tions four water-wheels, directly connected with two generators of horsepower.

Download or read book Winter US Edition written by Adam Gopnik and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2011 CBC Massey Lectures celebrates fifty years with bestselling author, essayist, cultural observer, and famed New Yorker contributor Adam Gopnik, whose subject is winter -- the season, the space, the cycle. Gopnik takes us on an intimate tour of the artists, poets, composers, writers, explorers, scientists, and thinkers, who helped shape a new and modern idea of winter. Here we learn how a poem by William Cowper heralds the arrival of the middle class; how snow science leads to existential questions of God and our place in the world; how the race to the poles marks the human drive to imprint meaning on a blank space. Gopnik’s kaleidoscopic work ends in the present day, when he traverses the underground city in Montreal, pondering the future of Northern culture. A stunningly beautiful meditation buoyed by Gopnik’s trademark gentle wit, Winter is at once an enchanting homage to an idea of a season and a captivating journey through the modern imagination. This deluxe 50th anniversary edition includes full-colour images printed on two 8-page inserts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, the city of San Francisco desperately needed reliable supplies of water and electricity. Its mayor, James Phelan, pressed for the damming of the Tuolumne River in the newly created Yosemite National Park, setting off a firestorm of protest. For the first time in American history, a significant national opposition arose to defend and preserve nature, led by John Muir and the Sierra Club, who sought to protect what they believed was the right of all Americans to experience natural beauty, particularly the magnificent mountains of the Yosemite region. Yet the defenders of the valley, while opposing the creation of a dam and reservoir, did not intend for it to be maintained as wilderness. Instead they advocated a different kind of development--the building of roads, hotels, and an infrastructure to support recreational tourism. Using articles, pamphlets, and broadsides, they successfully whipped up public opinion against the dam. Letters from individuals began to pour into Congress by the thousands, and major newspapers published editorials condemning the dam. The fight went to the floor of Congress, where politicians debated the value of scenery and the costs of western development. Ultimately, passage of the passage of the Raker Act in 1913 by Congress granted San Francisco the right to flood the Hetch Hetchy Valley. A decade later the O'Shaughnessy Dam, the second largest civil engineering project of its day after the Panama Canal, was completed. Yet conflict continued over the ownership of the watershed and the profits derived from hydroelectrocity. To this day the reservoir provides San Francisco with a pure and reliable source of drinking water and an important source of power. Although the Sierra Club lost this battle, the controversy stirred the public into action on behalf of national parks. Future debates over dams and restoration clearly demonstrated the burgeoning strength of grassroots environmentalism. In a narrative peopled by politicians and business leaders, engineers and laborers, preservationists and ordinary citizens, Robert W. Righter tells the epic story of the first major environmental battle of the twentieth century, which reverberates to this day.
