Descrição do livro

Artificial Waterways of the World offers a clear look at how canals and canalized rivers shape trade, policy, and progress. This nonfiction work examines the United States’ inland waterways, from early canals to modern enlargement projects, and explains how water routes can work with railways to move goods efficiently. It presents the case for improving and coordinating waterways to support growth in commerce and national prosperity.

In approachable terms, the book walks through the history, costs, and outcomes of major canal projects, including the Erie Canal and the ongoing Barge Canal improvements. It discusses why some plans succeeded, why others fell short, and how policy choices affect money, traffic, and competition with rail.


    • How inland waterways developed and why they matter for trade.

    • Economic and policy factors that influence canal projects and their costs.

    • Comparisons between rail and water routes and the push for better coordination.

    • Details on major canal systems, their updates, and future potential.



    Ideal for readers curious about transportation history, public works, and how infrastructure shapes the movement of goods and the growth of cities.
