Macfarlane has crafted an exemplary work of scholarship. - Donald C. Jackson, Lafayette College (Technology and Culture) Historians and general readers interested in the Falls and in issues connected with the associated technological and political background will appreciate this work.- A.M. Strauss, Vanderbilt University (CHOICE) Fixing Niagara Falls is an excellent monograph that cleverly analyzes how engineering interventions and human hubris helped make the Niagara Falls that we are familiar with today. - Clarence Hatton-Proulx (NiCHE) "… Macfarlane's great contribution is to provide a comprehensive account of the creation of the engineering complex at Niagara Falls…"- Mark Sholdice, King's University College at Western University (Ontario Historical Society Review) With this carefully researched study, we find in Niagara Falls a locus of past concerns that reverberate today: the realities of appropriation, the hubristic underbelly of "green" energy, the politics of energy transitions and exports, the power struggles between provincial, state, and federal governments. - Kyle Wyatt (Literary Review of Canada)
