The Hoover Dam: The Story of Hard Times, Tough People and The Taming of a Wild River (Wonders of the World Book)

This book is an award winning non-fiction book written for young readers, but perfect for adults who want to learn a little about the Hoover Dam. Sometimes, information presented simply, and with pictures, just gives the basic background about a topic that is needed. We had just visited the Hoover Dam and it was fascinating. My husband had a few other questions, so I ordered this book. It is great, because it has some primary source pictures, some colored drawings, and the writing is basic, but gives a lot of details.

Excellent, informative book. Used it with my homebound students, but my husband enjoyed it as well! This destination has been added to our bucket list!

I thought this book was outstanding and I grew up in Boulder City NV. I worked for the Bureau of Reclamation and I'm way past school age. Still thought it was an outstanding read.; The hour spent reading it was one of the more enjoyable and informative in some time.

Bought this for friends who just came back from seeing the Hoover Dam but didn't purchase, regrettably, a souviner book on the Dam. This purchase pleased them. It not only had a good historical view with plenty of interesting facts, it had lovely, lovely artistic renderings plus clear and informative photos. Would definitely order others of this series.

Love the history

My father loved this book.
