Eliot Porter, Dungeon Canyon

The (^%O*^%(*& who damned Glen Canyon died recently, NPR had a brief remembrance of him tonight. Cadillac Desert is the classic book about the damning of the Colorado in order to have golf courses in the desert. Great book. Really there are a ton of interesting books about Glen Canyon: 'The place no one knew' by Eliot Porter, 'Glen Canyon: Images of a lost world' by Tad Nichols, 'All my rivers are gone' by Katie Lee, are 3 great ones. The Glen Canyon Institute has a great website about pre/post damning, and they show that with the current drought in the west some of what was covered is now visitable again.
