Du reste; homme assez ordinaire ; tandis que moi; morbleu ! perdu dans la foule obscure; il ma fallu deacute;ployer plus de science et de calculs pour subsister seulement; quon nen a mis depuis cent ans agrave; gouverner toutes les Espagnes."

Imagination And Foresight At Work!By JorgeThis is an especially informative book about the imagination of; alternatives considered for; planning of; construction of and entry into service of the Hiram Chittenden locks; also known as the Ballard Locks; in Seattle; Washington. Completed in 1917; the locks connected the fresh waters of the smaller Lake Union and the larger Lake Washington to the saltwater of Puget Sound. Doing so solved local water transportation problems and enabled further development for Seattle and assisted in its becoming a major shipping facility on the Pacific Northwest Coast.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
