Review

'Mixing human interest, political details and some of the more technical aspects...the book charts the factual development while telling the personal story...' The Press and Journal

Product Description

This work is an account of the pioneering days of hydro-electricity in Scotland. It shows how each hydro project brought its own set of technical challenges, underlining the remarkable engineering achievements involved in bringing hydro-electric power to the wild glens of the Scottish Highlands. It concludes by looking at the future of hydro-electric power worldwide. Is hydro-electric power the sustainable technology of choice in a new century already riven with ecological angst.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for general understanding of all Hydro Power, 29 Mar 2009

By	Louise Shaw (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is not a technical book but a good overview of both some technical, some personal anecdotes and some personalities, all historical. A good read, not too heavy. If you want to understand Hydro Power from basics this book is for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Intrusive Politics, 26 Jan 2006

By A Customer

Emma Wood spoils what could be a good account by constantly demonstrating that her political position is about four paces to the left of Rosie Kane. The mindset that all highland landowners are absentee English grouse shooters is just plain silly. In her comments about wage rates on the highland estates she seems to have overlooked that fact that just after the war about four pounds a week was the going rate throughout the country.
