Sara Gruen
Water for Elephants: A Novel

2006 y.
Publisher: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill
Description: Water for Elephants is the story of Jacob`s life with this circus. Sara Gruen spares no detail in chronicling the squalid, filthy, brutish circumstances in which he finds himself. The animals are mangy, underfed or fed rotten food, and abused. Jacob, once it becomes known that he has veterinary skills, is put in charge of the `menagerie` and all its ills. Uncle Al, the circus impresario, is a self-serving, venal creep who slaps people around because he can. August, the animal trainer, is a certified paranoid schizophrenic whose occasional flights into madness and brutality often have Jacob as their object. Jacob is the only person in the book who has a handle on a moral compass and as his reward he spends most of the novel beaten, broken, concussed, bleeding, swollen and hungover. He is the self-appointed Protector of the Downtrodden, and… he falls in love with Marlena, crazy August`s wife. Not his best idea. The most interesting aspect of the book is all the circus… [detailed...]

Water for Texas (Texas A&,M University Agriculture Series)

Publisher: —
Description: More than the economy, more than changing demographics, even more than education, water is the key to the future of Texas. It is not much of an overstatement to claim that water is the future of Texas. In the fall of 2000, a conference on `the world`s most crucial natural resource` was held at Texas A&,M University. It was a gathering of people with many viewpoints and areas of expertise, all focused on what the book`s editors rightly say is and will be the state`s defining issue--water. Together, the observations and recommendations brought together in this volume represent some of the best thinking about Texas` connections with water--in the past, present, and future. Ranging from broad historical overviews to technical and scientific discussions, the chapters address the questions of where we have been and where we are headed as we enter a new century of challenges to provide water for Texas.

Water from a Deep Well: Christian Spirituality from Early Martyrs to Modern Missionaries

2007 y.
Publisher: IVP Books
Description: In Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong? In the fifth century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the discipline of renunciation. Could living more simply deepen my trust in God? In the sixteen hundreds, Philipp Jakob Spener`s love for the Word of God and his desire to help people apply the Bible to their life moved him to start `Colleges of Piety,` or small groups. In what ways could commitment to community make me more like Christ? The history of the church has shaped what our faith and practice are like today. It`s tempting to think that the way we do things now is best, but history also has much to teach us about what we`ve forgotten. In Water from a Deep… [detailed...]

Description: Designing fountains is a strange way to make a living. We got into it by chance. It would be difficult to call fountain designing a vocation since it is so little known… And yet, it is a job that inspires passion, claiming as its principal resource the most natural and most indispensable element in the world : water. Learning to master it soon becomes fascinating and captivating. A fountain is a clever mix of craftsmanship and technology, of calculations and intuition. The apprenticeship is long, and fluids can prove surprising and knock you off balance. Its reactions are sometimes impossible to predict, theoretical calculations are often not enough and the best guarantee in this field is proven experience. A few years ago, an article appeared in the newspaper Liberation entitled : `Jean Max Llorca, the sculptor in water`. With more than 500 finished projects, this renowned creator of fountains has acquired a substantial and conclusive knowledge of fluid behaviour,… [detailed...]

Water is Thicker than Blood: An Augustinian Theology of Marriage and Singlehood

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book considers how homes, households, and domestic life are related to the Church. Early theologies glorified the monastic lifestyle as a way to transcend earthly attachments in favor of supernatural goods. Contemporary thinkers have seen that functioning marriages and families themselves can lead us toward a more righteous society. Jana Bennett insists that both marriage and singleness must be placed in the context of the Christian story of redemption for the questions and problems at stake to be fully understood. She finds that Augustine of Hippo, maligned by modern theologians, is the source of very fruitful reflection on these topics. Most scholars today would agree that Augustine`s works have exerted great influence on Western views of marriage, family, and sex. But many would argue that this influence has been detrimental to a healthy understanding of these topics. However, using Augustine`s writing, Bennett shows that marriage and singleness cannot be considered… [detailed...]

Water of Life: A History of Wine-Distilling and Spirits, 500 BC to AD 2000

2006 y.
Publisher: Prospect Books (UK)
Description: This important book looks at the entire history of distilling in the Middle East and Europe from the earliest experiments by the Pythagorean alchemists of Ptolomaic Egypt in the fourth century BC to the commerical production of spirits to drink in the British Isles to the year 2000. Ms.Wilson has explored byways of early history that have been little noticed by previous scholars. She links the art of distilling to alchemical practice, to the Dionysian cults of ancient Greece and Rome, to the development of the art by the Gnostic mystic Christian sects (who greatly influenced the Coptic church in lower Egypt and Ethiopia), to the research of the Persians and Arabs, to the preservation of the art by various heretic cults in western Europe, such as the Bogomils and Cathars and, of course, the Templars, into more mainstream development by the medieval and Renaissance alchemists, before comparative relaxation into the domestic history of distilling in England for the manufacture of… [detailed...]

Description: A fast-paced eco-thriller of thwarted water privatization. A private American consortium of corporate owners aims to pipe and ship water from northern Quebec to the US. Congressmen, state governors, and a federal administration hostile to Canada ride shotgun for them, aided by a brilliant, existentially torn Quebec deputy minister and a cut-throat minister of finance.

Water-Works: The Architecture and Engineering of the New York City Water Supply

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: New York`s water is legendary for its fresh, clean taste, but its purity has been achieved at a cost, through a massive program of exploration and construction that is still ongoing. The story of that monumental undertaking is told in Water-Works and illustrated with an astonishing archive of drawings and photographs documenting the design and construction of dams, reservoirs, aqueducts, and tunnels. This complex system brings millions of gallons of water to the city every day from rivers many hundreds of miles away. Kevin Bone, Gina Pollara, and students from the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at The Cooper Union spent nine years cataloging and preserving this remarkable archive, which is held by the City of New York Department of Environmental Protection. Essays by Bone, former DEP Commissioner Albert F. Appleton, and scholars Peter H. Gleick and Gerard Koeppel trace the history of the system from its beginnings in the mid-1800s to the current construction of Water… [detailed...]

There, she must live in penitence until her death. Unwilling to accept her fate, she becomes a catalyst for change in the widows’s lives. When her friend Kalyani, a beautiful widow-prostitute, falls in love with a young, upper-class Gandhian idealist, the forbidden affair boldly defies Hindu tradition and threatens to undermine the ashram’s delicate balance of power.
