Reviews

A fascinating, lively, and intimate portrait of a complex technical issue, Just One Rain Away evokes the complexity of flood control through a sprawling appreciation of geology, politics, technology, and metrology, as well as ethnography and literature. Ambitious and impressive, both the technical rigour and the imaginative scope of materials and descriptions makes this a major achievement. Kregg Hetherington, author of The Government of Beans: Regulating Life in the Age of Monocrops
