Wrote a review for

Does a great job of giving detail without going too deep and stalling forward momentum.

I'm glad I read this because I knew very little of the history. I want to see these locks so checked out YouTube and there are mentions of

  • 1 upgrade in 2015 [I've heard on the news recently another upgrade is about to be done],
  • 2 or 3 other cross-isthmus channels being done to take on some of the demand [and money], and
  • decline in rain to the area has impacted the number and size of ships, as well as how much cargo can be carried thru.

Maybe a new chapter should be added to include all these big changes.

Well worth the read.
