In the early 1970's the ideologies and goals of two organizations clashed when the US Army Corps of Engineers and a large construction company, Arthur Aldridge, Inc. went about building a flood control dam and lake in Southwestern Ohio. Everyday setbacks and obstacles faced the Corps of Engineers resident engineer, Wayne Henderson, and project manager for Aldridge Construction Company, Dean Richardson. Environmentalists had the project in their sights long before the first shovel of dirt was disturbed. They claimed the cost was excessive and the project was unneeded. They also accused the government of being uncaring about the people who would be displaced when four thousand two hundred acres and 185 properties were taken to make way for the dam and lake. The opponents would fight to stop construction of the project from inception to the filling of the lake and beyond. Opponent's devices included protests, injunctions, lawsuits, camp-ins, the voices of politicians, and newspaper editorials. One deranged old woman exemplified the opposition as she fought to save her home. Weather extremes, floods, and accidents plagued the contractor during the entire six-year construction period. Union disputes and personal tragedies complicated the already difficult and ominous task. The rural location and lack of access to supplies and workers exacerbated the problems facing the builder. Building the project was made more difficult by the ulterior motives of a rogue inspector. A politician and some realtors took early advantage of hapless owners who were anxious to sell to make way for the dam and lake. Some owners resorted to deception to falsely enhance the value of their property. Woven into the story are the unheralded real hardships and perils that became part of the worker's lives whose efforts made the project a beautiful and useful reality. They proudly, and without tribute, put a little of themselves into the Dam and Lake. In the final stages, a financial crisis threatened the contractor's business life. The Corps of Engineers resident engineer and the contractor's project manager had the same goal, build the Trout River Project. Setting aside their differing motives and obligations they were forced to focus on the project and overcome many problems and challenges.

A modern, ex-Christian, tree-hugging American woman comes up against a strange wish for church--but only if it could be radically different from what she's known. It would have to be one steeped in women's equality and freedom of thought. Unexpectedly, she finds herself on a journey like a canoe trip. The journey will heal her past, widen her present world, and offer hope for the future. Guided by her experiences in river canoeing--navigating the river, learning its currents, and riding its sparkling energy--her story unfolds through twelve years of pointed questions, congenial fellow travelers, and zesty discoveries. She experiences firsthand what she cannot get from a solo journey, including what it is to support Native Americans, and how Black womanist theology can make her a better white ally of Black women. Paddling the river, she is helped around fallen trees of biblical mistranslation and anti-woman dogma. After a cold-water crash, she repairs her canoe and emerges joyful again with a new, more flexible strength. Looking ahead, she follows clues about how the river is changing other churches--renewing and making them better neighbors and climate activists.

A Leviathan Behind the Dam is a follow-up to The Constant Speed of Light, author Chris Ridenour's first collection of art and verse (issued by Condiment Shelf Press, 2006.) This latest volume shows the growing maturity and sophistication of both the poet and the printmaker, with imagery in either arena running from austere to lush. The writings themselves are tight and evocative, while the linocut prints stand out from the page in their original vivid colors. The result is a lovely collection that pays homage to romance, loss, life, and the creative impulse that paves the way before and after.

Complex systems is a new field of science studying how parts of a system give rise to the collective behaviors of the system, and how the system interacts with its environment. This book examines the complex systems involved in environmental sustainability, and examines the technologies involved to help mitigate human impacts, such as renewable energy, desalination, carbon capture, recycling, etc. It considers the relationships and balance between environmental engineering and science, economics, and human activity, with regard to sustainability.

There is a large and growing need for a textbook that can form the basis for integrated classes that look at minerals, rocks, and other Earth materials. Despite the need, no high-quality book is available for such a course. Earth Materials is a wide-ranging undergraduate textbook that covers all the most important kinds of (inorganic) Earth materials. Besides traditional chapters on minerals and rocks, this book features chapters on sediments and stratigraphy, weathering and soils, water and the hydrosphere, and mineral and energy deposits. Introductions to soil mechanics and rock mechanics are also included. This book steers away from the model of traditional encyclopedic science textbooks, but rather exposes students to the key and most exciting ideas and information, with an emphasis on thinking about Earth as a system. The book is written in such a manner as to support inquiry, discovery and other forms of active learning. All chapters start with a short topical story or vignette, and the plentiful photographs and other graphics are integrated completely with the text. Earth Materials will be interesting and useful for a wide range of learners, including geoscience students, students taking mineralogy and petrology courses, engineers, and anyone interested in learning more about the Earth as a system.

Storage reservoirs represent one of the most effective tools for eliminating, or at least for minimizing, discrepancies in the time and space variations of water resources distribution and requirements. In fact, the different - often contradictory - and increasing demands on water resources utilization and control usually can be fulfilled only by building multi-purpose reservoir systems. In this way, the available water resources can be exploited and/or managed in a more rational way. Typically, the construction of a dam across a river valley causes water to accumulate in a reservoir behind the dam; the volume of water accumulated in the reservoir will depend, in part, on the dimensions of the dam. The size of the dam will normally affect the capital expenditure in a very significant way. Indeed the construction of large water resource control systems - such as dams - generally involves rather huge manpower and material outlays. Consequently, the elaboration of effectual methods of approach that can be used in establishing the optimal reservoir parameters is of great practical significance. For instance, in the design and operation oflarge multi-reservoir systems, simple simulation and/or optimization models that can identify potentially cost effective and efficient system design are highly desirable. But it should be recognized that the problem of finding optimal capacities for multi-reservoir systems often becomes computationally complex because of the large number of feasible configurations that usually need to be analyzed.
