The Conquest Of Nature : Water, Landscape, and the Making of Modern Germany

Investigating how - water - was 'conquered' by draining fens and marshes, straightening the courses of rivers, building high dams and exploiting hydro-electric power, this book explores how the German people have shaped their natural environment and how the landscapes they created took a powerful hold on the German imagination.
