Dr. Richard Robinson
School of Business Professor Richard Robinson has had a book recently published by Palgrave Macmillan, an imprint of Springer Nature.
The scholarly monograph, “Restoring America’s Rivers: The Movement for Dam Deconstruction and Rehabilitations,” examines the phenomena of the recent movement for dam removals for the ecological restoration of rivers, and also for safety reasons, and to pursue environmental justice for Native Americans.
Professor Robinson notes, “America’s dams are generally old. A large portion have lost their original purpose and are often abandoned and derelict. Many of these are dangerous and in need of either refurbishment or removal.”
The book, which was published in e-book form on July 3 and will be available in hard-copy print around Aug. 5, documents and examines the dam removal movement.
