I learned so much about nuclear energy and the history of an incredible assortment of technologies (dynamite! cook stoves! sewers!) working on this project, and I am so glad that it is finally out in the world.

For years, officials in the Czech Republic had pushed a dam project to protect a river south of Prague, and the critically endangered species living in it. But the project stalled.
In the meantime, the beavers of Prague simply built dams themselves, saving the government some 1.2 million euros.
