Автор: Prud`Homme, Alex Название: The Ripple effect : the fate of fresh water in the twenty-first century HB ISBN: 1416535454 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781416535454 Издательство: Simon & Schuster Рейтинг: Цена: 20690.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть Описание: AS ALEX PRUD'HOMME and his great-aunt Julia Child were completing their collaboration on her memoir, My Life in France, they began to talk about the French obsession with bottled water, which had finally spread to America. From this spark of interest, Prud'homme began what would become an ambitious quest to understand the evolving story of freshwater. What he found was shocking: as the climate warms and world population grows, demand for water has surged, but supplies of freshwater are static or dropping, and new threats to water quality appear every day.
The Ripple Effect is Prud'homme's vivid and engaging inquiry into the fate of freshwater in the twenty-first century. The questions he sought to answer were urgent: Will there be enough water to satisfy demand? What are the threats to its quality? What is the state of our water infrastructure-both the pipes that bring us freshwater and the levees that keep it out? How secure is our water supply from natural disasters and terrorist attacks? Can we create new sources for our water supply through scientific innovation? Is water a right like air or a commodity like oil-and who should control the tap? Will the wars of the twenty-first century be fought over water? Like Daniel Yergin's classic The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power, Prud'homme's The Ripple Effect is a masterwork of investigation and dramatic narrative. With striking instincts for a revelatory story, Prud'homme introduces readers to an array of colorful, obsessive, brilliant-and sometimes shadowy-characters through whom these issues come alive.
Prud'homme traversed the country, and he takes readers into the heart of the daily dramas that will determine the future of this essential resource-from the alleged murder of a water scientist in a New Jersey purification plant, to the epic confrontation between salmon fishermen and copper miners in Alaska, to the poisoning of Wisconsin wells, to the epidemic of intersex fish in the Chesapeake Bay, to the wars over fracking for natural gas. Michael Pollan has changed the way we think about the food we eat; Alex Prud'homme will change the way we think about the water we drink. Informative and provocative, The Ripple Effect is a major achievement.
The relationship between religion and science is complex and continues to be a topical issue. However, it is seldom zoomed in on from both Protestant and Catholic perspectives. By doing so the contributing authors in this collection gain new insights into the origin and development of missiology. Missiology is described in this book as a "project of modernity," a contemporary form of apologetics. "Scientific apologetics" was the way to justify missions in a society that was rapidly becoming secularized.
Mission & Science deals with the interaction between new scientific disciplines (historiography, geography, ethnology, anthropology, linguistics) and new scientific insights (Darwin's evolutionary theory, heliocentrism), as well as the role of the papacy and what inspired missionary practice (first in China and the Far East and later in Africa). The renewed missiology has in turn influenced the missionary practice of the twentieth century, guided by apostolic policy. Some "missionary scholars" have even had a significant influence on the scientific discourse of their time.

Описание: This first biography of Sir Raymond Priestley is well overdue, and its absence can only be explained by the scale of research necessary to cover the breadth and variety of his achievements over a very long and active life. It will be of interest across a wide range of disciplines, especially to those for whom the ""Heroic Age"" of Antarctic Exploration has a particular fascination.

Описание: Sam and Lizzie are freezing and hungry on the streets of Victorian London. When Sam asks a wealthy man for some coins, he is rudely turned away. Months of struggle suddenly find their focus, and Sam resolves to kill the man. Huddling in a graveyard for warmth, Sam and Lizzie are horrified to see the earth around one of the tombs begin to shift, shortly followed by the wraithlike figure of a ghostly man. He warns Sam about the future which awaits such a bitter heart, and so begins Sam`s journey led by terrifying spirits through the past, present and future, after which Sam must decide whether to take the man, Scrooge`s, life or not. A perfectly layered, tense and supremely satisfying twist on one of Dickens` most popular books, cleverly reinvented to entice a younger readership.

Описание: Excerpt from A Monument to La Verendrye: The Discoverer of the West Mr. Charles N. Bell, of Winnipeg, wrote to the Honor able Senator, T. A. Bernier, in December 1885, the follow ing suggestive lines I have the highest admiration for the striking courage, the perseverance and patriotism of La Verendrye. To my mind his name ought to be redeemed from oblivion. His Grace Archbishop Tach informed me last year that it was his intention to erect a monument or marble slab to commemorate the exploits of La Veren dve. I should be most happy to contribute as far as Ipossibly can to the realization of such a plan, and I feel assured that an appeal to them would meet with a cordial response' on the part of my English-speaking fellow citizens interested in the history of the country.
