It’s a poignant irony in American history that on Independence Day, 1863, not one but two pivotal Civil War battles ended in Union victory, marked the high tide of Confederate military fortune, and ultimately doomed the South’s effort at secession. But on July 4, 1863, after six months of siege, Ulysses Grant’s Union army finally took Vicksburg and the Confederate west. On the very same day, Robert E. Lee was in Pennsylvania, parrying the threat to Vicksburg with a daring push north to Gettysburg. For two days the battle had raged; on the next, July 4, 1863, Pickett’s Charge was thrown back, a magnificently brave but fruitless assault, and the fate of the Confederacy was sealed, though nearly two more years of bitter fighting remained until the war came to an end. In Receding Tide, Edwin Cole Bearss draws from his popular Civil War battlefield tours to chronicle these two widely separated but simultaneous clashes and their dramatic conclusion. As the recognized expert on both Vicksburg and Gettysburg, Bearss tells the fascinating story of this single momentous day in our country’s history, offering his readers narratives, maps, illustrations, characteristic wit, dramatic new insights and unerringly intimate knowledge of terrain, tactics, and the colorful personalities of America’s citizen soldiers, Northern and Southern alike.

High Tide brings mystery and romance. You will fall in love with finding shells, sand dollars and starfish. The day is bright blue with the sun shining brightly over gentle waves of warm water. Love is much the same and you wish it to last forever, but fate may have other plans. As you crest the sand dunes, you may find passion and purpose, much like love. Others find that the skies become cloudy and rain starts to fall. Thunder and lightning soon creates a new landscape, and you need to find shelter. Your world starts to unravel and truths are discovered. It is okay to be angry and hurt, but then you need to move on. Poetry purges my soul. I hope you find solace in it as well.

It is 1973, and the Vietnam war has enraged and divided the country. Two childhood friends, one a widow and the other a divorcee, meet at midlife in their small hometown on the Florida coast and try to resolve the questions of how to handle life and love when separation and death have taken their toll. Will resolution bring peace, or will it mean pain to one or the other? Complicating their lives is the arrival of a former neighbor who returns to the site of her next-door home to continue the investigation of a possible family murder. She decides to rebuild her former home, and in so doing hires a drifter who appears to be a homeless person from some other town. The result is a climax in which old loves and old crimes bring unforeseen consequences. You will not want to put this book down, even when you've finished it. Chambers is a remarkably skilled, evocative writer with deep Southern roots. We feel the heat of this tiny coastal town as we join her characters at a summer reunion of old friends. At first, everyone feels comfortable and secure. But then things start to change. Slowly, Chambers unearths deep emotions and secrets long buried under the hot Florida sun. We learn at a gut level that things are rarely what they seem to be. —CAROL COSTELLO, author of Chasing Grace: A Novel of Odd Redemption Crafted with purpose, this seductive saga is smart, witty and thoughtful. With a rich cast of characters including Anna Lee Owens from a previous novel, the plot is filled with intrigue. Gripping your imagination with notable etiquette, you will not put this book down until the final outcome is reached. Will Anna Lee survive it all? —H.R. MALY, author of The 70,000 Adventures of Minnesota Dan series Chambers captures the beauty and bewilderment of mid-life, as two women, childhood friends, consider the choices that could cast their futures. This haunting, insightful picture of life, full of magic and disappointment, will have you packing a bag for Bay Harbor. The Receding Tide is for anyone who ever yearned for the embrace of home. —BELINDA HULIN, author of Roux Memories: A Cajun-Creole Love Story with Recipes

From Cnut to D-Day: the history and science of the unceasing tide explored for the first time. Half of the world's population lives in coastal regions lapped by tidal waters. Yet how little most of us know about the tide. Our ability to predict and understand the tide depends on centuries of science, from the observations of Aristotle and the theories of Newton to today's supercomputer calculations. This story is punctuated here by notable tidal episodes in history, from Caesar's thwarted invasion of Britain to the catastrophic flooding of Venice, and interwoven with a rich folklore that continues to inspire art and literature today. With Aldersey-Williams as our guide to the most feared and celebrated tidal features on the planet, from the original maelstrøm in Scandinavia to the world's highest tides in Nova Scotia to the crumbling coast of East Anglia, the importance of the tide, and the way it has shaped - and will continue to shape - our civilization, becomes startlingly clear.

Water, in all its forms, may be the key to an environmentally friendly energy economy. Water is free, there is plenty of it, plus it carries what is generally believed to be the best long-term source of green energy—hydrogen. Water for Energy and Fuel Production explores the many roles of water in the energy and fuel industry. The text not only discusses water’s use as a direct source of energy and fuel—such as hydrogen from water dissociation, methane from water-based clathrate molecules, hydroelectric dams, and hydrokinetic energy from tidal waves, off-shore undercurrents, and inland waterways—but also: Describes water’s benign application in the production of oil, gas, coal, uranium, biomass, and other raw fuels, and as an energy carrier in the form of hot water and steam Examines water’s role as a reactant, reaction medium, and catalyst—as well as steam’s role as a reactant—for the conversion of raw fuels to synthetic fuels Explains how supercritical water can be used to convert fossil- and bio-based feedstock to synthetic fuels in the presence and absence of a catalyst Employing illustrative case studies and commercial examples, Water for Energy and Fuel Production demonstrates the versatility of water as a provider of energy and fuel, conveying the message that as energy demand and environmental concerns grow, so should our vigilance in pursuing the role of water in the energy landscape.
