Colossus: The Turbulent, Thrilling Saga of the Building of Hoover DamAs breathtaking today as when it was completed, Hoover Dam ranks among America's most awe inspiring, if dubious, achievements. This epic story of the dam from conception to design to construction by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik exposes the tremendous hardships and accomplishments of the men on the ground and in the air who built the dam and the demonic drive of Frank Crowe, the boss who pushed them
As breathtaking today as when it was completed, Hoover Dam ranks among America's most awe-inspiring, if dubious, achievements. This epic story of the dam--from conception to design to construction--by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik exposes the tremendous hardships and accomplishments of the men on the ground--and in the air--who built the dam and the demonic drive of Frank Crowe, the boss who pushed them beyond endurance. It is a tale of the tremendous will exerted from start to finish, detailing the canny backroom dealings by Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the herculean engineering challenges Crowe faced, and the terrific union strikes by the men who daily fought to beat back the Colorado River. Colossus tells an important part of the story of America's struggle to pull itself out of the Great Depression by harnessing the power of its population and its natural resources.Binding Type: Paperback

Great for behind a dresser
Size: 5 FT (2 prong plug), Color: White
Works great. Plug lays flat against the wall. Doesn't charge great on USB C ports, but it'll get you by. USB charging is 2 out of 5. Quality seems 4 out of 5.

Are you tired of moving furniture around to find a plug?
Size: 6.5 Ft, Color: Black
I hate moving my room around to find an open outlet, I needed something that had a surge protector because of my gaming computer and I also have a lot of stuff that needs plugged in. This has a lot of plugs, I love that they are spaced out and have the USC and USB at the top. The cord is pretty long so it reaches a good length. It tells you if its not protected by how it lights up when you turn it on. I highly recommend and I would buy this again if I needed another one.
