work cited with explanations.

First, when i copied my works cited page from my word document it doesn't have the correct spacing or any underlining. Im sorry, but the word document has all of the correct punctuation.

Works Cited
1. Dong, Quan. “Three Gorges Dam: Natural Flow and Dam Operations Three Gorges Dam: Natural Flow and Dam Operations.” Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment 3.2 (2005): 75-76.
Basically all of these website contain very similar information. This websites information describes how the operation of the dam has the same amount of impact on the environment as the actual dam itself.

2. Edmonds, Richard Louis. “The Sanxia (Three Gorges) Project: The Environmental Argument Surrounding China’s Super Dam .” Global Ecology and Biogeography Letters 2.4 (1992): 105-125.
Contradictory to most of the articles i have found, this article in some places actually states that the dam is good for the economy and has a positive side to it!

3.Friedman, Edward. “Damming the Three Gorges: What Dam-Builders Don’t Want You to Know.” The Journal of Asian Studies 50.2 (1991): 397-398.
This is a very difficult journal to read, but describes the history of the dam dating back to the Mao era and why it is so important to them.

4.“The Grand Canal and the Three Gorges Dam: A Historical Comparison.” Trade Environment Database. 20 Nov. 2008 http://www.american.edu/‌TED/‌3gorges.htm.
This website has an extensive amount of research related to the dam. It talks about the economical, environmental, and global aspect of the dam. It also describes the history of the dam.

5.Hemming, Li. “Reservoir Resettlement in China: Past Experience and the Three Gorges Dam Reservoir Resettlement in China: Past Experience and the Three Gorges Dam .” The Geographical Journal 167.3 (2001): 195-212.
Written by a native himself, he describes how hundreds of thousands of lives have been displaced and forced to move to other locatoins.

6.Kwei-Cheong, Chau. “The Three Gorges Project of China: Resettlement Prospects and Problems The Three Gorges Project of China: Resettlement Prospects and Problems.” Ambio 24.2 (1995): 105-125.
Similar to the previous source, this paper describes how many of the inhabitants of the river around the dam were forced to living in other places.

7.Perkins, Sid. “A Dam Shame.” Science News 24 May 2003: 323.
A very bias magazine article, describing the basic horribleness rooting from the dam.

8.Porter, Glen. The three gorges dam : a perspective on relocation. N.p.: n.p., n.d.
This is a thesis given from a BYU graduate elaborating on the disaster that begun when the dam was built, but focusing more on the people themselves and less on the environment.

9.Stone, Richard. “Three Gorges Dam: Into the Unknown.” Science 1 Aug. 2008: 628-632.
When the dam was first built most people didn't know what to expect. Actually most people thought the dam would bring energy and opportunity not just for part of China but for the whole country.

10. Wu, Jianguo. “ The Three Gorges Dam: An Ecological Perspective.” Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment 2.5 (2004): 241-248.
Lastly, similar to all other articles, Jianguo has a very bias opinion on the disaster that the dam has brought into his country.
