Features: This book uses time as the longitude and events as the latitude, selecting representative news reports from different eras to outline the historical footprint of the Three Gorges Project. Additionally, it includes 33 important historical documents and memoirs, as well as a chronicle of major events in the Three Gorges Project, all of which are highly valuable for research and reference. A key feature of this book is its avoidance of evading controversy, as it features multiple articles presenting different viewpoints on the Three Gorges Project, reflecting the basic circumstances of several major debates during the research and justification phase of the project and the fundamental perspectives of the involved parties. Controversy is the collision of ideas and the refinement of viewpoints, which played an immeasurable role in the decision-making process of the Three Gorges Project.
