Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Problems of the Panama Canal: Including Climatology of the Isth-Mus. Physics and Hydraulics of the River Chagres. Cut at the Continental Divide. And Discussion of Plans for the Waterway, With History From 1890 to Date
It has seemed desirable to extend this new edition to cover the progress Of events since the transfer Of the work to the United States, and at the same time to avoid confusion between the new and the Old by too intimate an incorporation. This has been ac complished by adding a new chapter to the historical portion Of the book; by explaining and discussing, under a new heading in chapter VII, the new projects resulting from the studies Of the Board Of Consulting Engineers appointed by President Roosevelt to advise as to plans for the canal; and by introducing recent and valuable climatological and hydraulic data at appropriate places in the text, but without combining them directly with the previous computations. By this plan all confusion is avoided, and comparisons between the two are rendered easy.
