The subtitle of this 386-page volume (7 x 10 format) was prophesied before the dam was built in the late 1950s. Objectively, the narrative explains the before, during, and post effects of Lake Powell's diminishing lake levels. Due to persistent drought since the mid-1990s, likely, this aquatic playground's destiny is doomed. The subtitle of this telling tome also points the proverbial finger of shame at the Bureau of 'Wrecklamation' for building damn in the wrong place and for the wrong reasons. (Includes numerous colored images, including historic photos.)
