Description
The book Dam Greed reveals the second effort to save the Little T by lawyers who saw unique beauty in the river and alternative ways to bring industry and money to the area without flooding. The lawyers, scientists, and archaeologists tried to prevent the destruction of the land, water, farming businesses, recreation areas, and historical sites. They reveal the politics that disregarded the environment, free enterprise, and the Endangered Species Act. The book may be purchased over the Internet at http://www.xlibris.com or locally at Sloan's Center in Madisonville or Vonore, Susan Morris Art Gallery in Sweetwater, John Hall Museum in Tellico Plains, and McKenzie Books in Athens. The cover was made by Julie Jack, a professor of art at Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens, Tennessee. Water, the sky, a map of the area, and the Rose Island holly are shown with Robert and Bruce Dorward, the husband and the son of the author. Ms. Jack's work is available at Athens Art and Frame Shop. Her Web site is http://www.juliejack.com, and she is available as a visiting artist and instructor at conferences and workshops.
