| Like many Americans, I sometimes think of history as only involving famous persons, wars, or cultural events. I often forget that edifices and inventions play a role too. So this disc speaks of the dam, why it was needed, its details, and how it made Las Vegas the celebrated city that it is. It also explains how the dam got named after President Hoover. It's not a bad work, but I found myself dozing off a bit. Maybe engineers and science lovers would appreciate this work more. There are more interesting installments in the "Am. Ex." series for me. |
