Since the late nineteenth century, Niagara Falls has been heavily
engineered to generate energy behind a flowing façade designed to
appeal to tourists. Fixing Niagara Falls reveals the technological
feats and cross-border politics that facilitated the transformation
of one of the most important natural sites in North America. Daniel
Macfarlane shows how this natural wonder is essentially a tap: huge
tunnels around the reconfigured Falls channel the waters of the
Niagara River, which ebb and flow according to the tourism
calendar. This book offers a unique interdisciplinary and
transborder perspective on how the Niagara landscape embodies the
power of technology and nature.
