[ePub] Balancing Acts: Three Prima Ballerinas Becoming Mothers by From Princeton Architectural Press at Arts-Photography

Description

The drastic contrast between its desert landscape and the deep; blue waters of Lake Mead makes it difficult to envision the parks creation as merely incidental. After the completion of the Hoover Dam; the waters of the Colorado River began to flood the river valley and form one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States. The Bureau of Reclamation soon realized the vast recreational opportunities that Lake Mead would provide. Through a memorandum of agreement; the National Park Service was tasked with managing the first national recreation area; formerly known as the Boulder Dam National Recreation Area.
