I am so moved to see not only my books but also my own introduction on "that Amazon".

As for the contents of the book, as the cover says, "Ten different dams have ten different colors," no two dams are alike, and the photographs taken by each of the four authors and their writings are interesting in their own way. I hope you will take a look at this book and experience the charm of dams.
