Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 70 ratings
  • Great series

    As an environmental social scientist, this series is a great way to keep up with the literature. A lot of coverage of the more critical theoretical side of the field, but that reflects monograph publishing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tara Lohan, "Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities to Life" (Island Press, 2025)
Q: Who mostly initiates the advocacy for removal of dams?
It varies; sometimes communities want to see dams removed due to negative impacts they observe, and there are NGOs and municipalities involved in initiating removals.
Tara Lohan, "Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities to Life" (Island Press, 2025)
Q: What is the economic pushback on dam removal?
Dams serve different functions, and those that are unneeded or no longer functional are easier candidates for removal, while those serving agricultural irrigation do not typically face pressures for removal.
Tara Lohan, "Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities to Life" (Island Press, 2025)
Q: What do you consider a good dam removal project or not?
The issue with dam removals is that they're so place specific, and every community must evaluate the different factors involved regarding the purpose the dam is serving and the ecological impact.
Malcolm Harris, "Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World" (Little, Brown, 2023)
Q: Why was Alta California considered a high technology zone?
It relates to California's exceptional relationship to technology and capitalist technology, which developed rapidly due to a shortage of wage labor.
Malcolm Harris, "Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World" (Little, Brown, 2023)
Q: Could you say a bit about your earlier work and trace the path that brought you to writing this book?
My first book had a bunch of Palo Alto material in it, and it was always brewing in the back of my head.
