Niagara: A History of the Falls

by Pierre Berton
Compare to estimated retail price: S$38.00  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.

Niagara: A History of the Falls
Niagara: A History of the Falls

Waterfall's dramatic influence on culture and innovation.

Imagine standing at the edge of Niagara Falls, feeling the mist on your face and the ground trembling with immense power. That's the visceral connection Pierre Berton creates with his words in "Niagara: A History of the Falls." As you dive into this book, you'll find yourself entranced by the interwoven stories of adventurers, inventors, and dreamers who've all been drawn to the falls. It's not just a tale of a natural wonder, but of how this magnificent cascade shaped human history and culture. If you love intertwining narratives of nature and mankind, this is a plunge worth taking.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
