The undamming and restoration of rivers is a major component of our broader environmental movement. There are ecological, economic, and social justice issues enveloped by initiatives involving river restorations, and it's time to focus our attention on these concerns. In this book, Richard M. Robinson reviews the removal of big concrete, big earthen, and low-head dams along North America's larger and smaller rivers. Chapters highlight issues and contradictions related to dam safety, dam removals, and river restoration. The resulting book provides key insights into the economics and ecology of environmental restoration, our water resource management, and environmental justice. Richard M. Robinson is Professor of Business Administration at the State University of New York at Fredonia (SUNY Fredonia). He is the author of Environmental Advocacy and Local Restorations (2023), Environmental Organizations and Reasoned Discourse (2021), Business Ethics: Kant, Virtue, and the Nexus of Duty (2024), and The Imperfect Duties of Management (2018). He served as editor for The Journal of Economics and Finance.
