Undammed

“The best journalists know the most important stories are often found by hanging back after a big event. Brilliantly tracking rivers after dams come down, Lohan fishes up untold stories of renewal and connection—for water, wildlife, and people. Undammed is the rare uplifting environmental book that proves we can mend the world.”—Cynthia Barnett, author of “The Sound of the Sea”
“Tara Lohan’s book brought tears of joy to my eyes with her beautiful descriptions of the need for—and the growing success of—river restorations and the restoration that happens to our souls when we take down old, unsafe, and damaging dams and let our rivers run free once more.”—Peter H. Gleick, cofounder and President Emeritus, Pacific Institute
“Lohan weaves a compelling narrative and gives voice to the communities—human, aquatic, and even avian—dam removal can benefit. She sheds light on stories of recovery and hope as she traverses the country—a much needed balm in this day and age.”—Serena S. McClain, Senior Director, National Dam Removal Program, American Rivers
