DESCRIPTION:Professor Adams will be exploring the idea of the perfect rive
 r as a vision which drives planners\, engineers and decision-makers. Yet r
 eal rivers often turn out to be far from perfect\, and attempting to perfe
 ct them leads to all the negative impacts on environments and riverine peo
 ple that the opponents of dams deplore. So how should we think about the r
 elation between perfection and complexity in the organic machine of the ri
 ver? How should we approach attempts to alter the way that machine works?\
