Description

The Tennessee Valley Authority was the largest agency created under the auspices of the New Deal. The TVA was responsible for three large scale environmental projects - the river, land, and power machines - but the project also had social goals. This volume will be of interest to environmental historians and historians of the Progressive Era.
