Today’s The Oregonian book review section featured a piece on “Power of the River”, a history book compiled by the Bonneville Power Administration. My curiosity led me to download the 300+ page PDF (130MB; but a lower-res version is also available) from http://www.bpa.gov/news/pubs/GeneralPublications/Book-Power-of-the-River-BPA-History-Book.pdf. The book contains a good number of excellent photographs of the Columbia River and BPA-related subject matter. I just skimmed some of the opening text, but it appears to be a pretty comprehensive history as well. As I have taken hundreds of photographs of the wind turbines, the river and the gorge, it was nice to see material shot from a vantage point different than my usual passenger car seat.
