Damania: The Hydro-Electric Commission, the Environment and Government in Tasmania is a book edited by Richard Jones, a former journalist and politician. It is a critical analysis of the controversial Lake Pedder project, which involved the flooding of a natural lake in southwest Tasmania for hydro-electric power generation. The book exposes the political, economic, and environmental implications of the project, as well as the public resistance and protest movements that emerged to oppose it. The book also discusses the broader issues of democracy, accountability, and conservation in Tasmania. The book was published by Fullers Bookshop in Hobart in 1972 and has 112 pages. It includes statistical tables, an appendix, and a bibliography. It is considered one of the first books to challenge the dominance of the Hydro-Electric Commission in Tasmania. Additional remarks: Yellowed pages.
