Download or read book The Secret Knowledge of Water written by Craig Childs and published by Back Bay Books. This book was released on 2008-12-14 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturalist Craig Childs's "utterly memorable and fantastic" study of the desert's dangerous beauty is based on years of adventures in the deserts of the American West (Washington Post). Like the highest mountain peaks, deserts are environments that can be inhospitable even to the most seasoned explorers. Craig Childs, who has spent years in the deserts of the American West as an adventurer, a river guide, and a field instructor in natural history, has developed a keen appreciation for these forbidding landscapes: their beauty, their wonder, and especially their paradoxes. His extraordinary treks through arid lands in search of water are an astonishing revelation of the natural world at its most extreme. "Utterly memorable and fantastic...Certainly no reader will ever see the desert in the same way again." —Suzannah Lessard, Washington Post

Book excerpt: "A clinical discussion of the effects of six-and-a-half days without water on a man lost in the Cabeza Prieta, the story of Pablo Valencia's August odyssey to the very rim of desert death is a testament to endurance, humanity, and the absolute power of the desert. McGee's careful, tender, descriptive language is deeply affecting; in its modest way, it is great literature. This paper, rediscovered years ago by Bunny Fontana, has acquired a sort of cult status among desert rats. It is so graphic and so powerful that it is read aloud at Southern Arizona Rescue Association meetings. You've been warned." -Joseph Wilder Director The Southwest Center at The University of Arizona

Something feral burns beneath his powerful and controlled exterior. Master tracker Quinn Caldwell is a man of few words, but all his senses are on fire. Words are the last thing he needs to know that his feisty biologist is aroused. But as they track an endangered species, neither of them realizes they're being track as well. Isolated in the barren wilderness, they are to become prey to a very dangerous predator. Desert Thirst is a standalone, adventure romance in the Passage to Passion collection. If you like a strong alpha, a fiery heroine, and a huge dose of heated action-along with steamy romance-you're in the right place.

Download or read book Thirst written by Ken Kalfus and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kalfus is most successful when he mixes his different approaches into the original sort of magic realism he creates in the title tale, which concerns an erotically charged encounter between a virginal Irish au pair, Nula, and a Moroccan student, Henri Tatahouine, in Paris. The hallucinatory quality of Henri's account of his life leaves Nula emotionally blistered, as though she had been in the Sahara. The comic, horrifying """"Cats in Space,"""" which tells the tale of a group of kids who use helium balloons to launch a kitten into the air, is similarly effective. Though uneven, Kalfus's collection is ambitious and daring, with smart, fluid prose and an abundance of surprises.

Download or read book Thirsty for More written by Allison Allen and published by Revell. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to our connection with God, we dread "dry seasons," when we feel far from our life-sustaining Creator and redeemer. We want to dwell in lush valleys, not wander in trackless deserts. And yet, during the first three centuries of the church, many men and women purposefully moved into deserts to seek God. They understood something that we have missed: a desert is not a place of vast nothingness, but a place where we can truly experience God's provision, restoration, and intimacy. Through Scripture and personal stories of her own times of waiting and struggle, Allison Allen offers a fresh perspective for women who dare to believe that God is doing something of eternal value in their dry seasons. She shows how God can use these times in our lives to reveal himself to us, to give us rest, to get our attention, to show us our strength, to experience his blessings, and more. Any woman who has been feeling spiritually sapped will welcome this refreshing message of hope.
Download or read book Thirst The Desert Trilogy written by Shulamith Hareven and published by Restless Books. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirst: The Desert Trilogy contains three of Shulamith Hareven’s greatest works: The Miracle Hater, Prophet, and After Childhood. Each of these novellas explores the relationship of the individual to God and society. Hareven writes with great sympathy for the outsider and the rebel, as she explores with subtlety and depth how individuals relate to nature, to society, and especially to the divine. While the three novellas are set in the Biblical period, the author’s authority and conviction render them both timeless and timely. In Thirst, Hareven achieves her greatest work, bringing vivid drama, characterization, and emotion into high relief against an unforgettable desert backdrop. Reviews “The success of Thirst rests entirely on the author's evocative and lush prose.” —The New York Times “These are apocryphal tales that, at their best, possess a shimmering, timeless quality.” —Publishers Weekly Shulamith Hareven was born in Warsaw, Poland but grew up in Jerusalem, where she lived until her passing in 2003. A writer, translator, and activist, Hareven served as a writer-in-residence at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and was the first female member of the Academy of the Hebrew language. In 1962, she published her first book, a poetry volume titled Predatory Jerusalem. After that, she wrote and translated prose books and plays. She published essays and articles about Israeli society and culture in literary journals Masa, Orlogin, and Keshet, and in newspapers Al Ha-Mishmar, Maariv, and Yedioth Ahronoth. Her books have been translated into twenty-one languages. Hareven was an activist for Peace Now, and in 1995, the French weekly L'Express listed her among the 100 women "who move the world.” Hillel Halkin is an American-born Israeli translator, biographer, literary critic, and novelist, who has lived in Israel since 1970. Halkin translates from Hebrew and Yiddish literature into English. He has translated Sholem Aleichem's Tevye the Dairyman, and major Hebrew and Israeli novelists, among them Yosef Haim Brenner, S. Y. Agnon, Shulamith Hareven, A. B. Yehoshua, Amos Oz, and Meir Shalev.

Download or read book Cadillac Desert written by Marc Reisner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1993-06-01 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I’ve been thinking a lot about Cadillac Desert in the past few weeks, as the rain fell and fell and kept falling over California, much of which, despite the pouring heavens, seems likely to remain in the grip of a severe drought. Reisner anticipated this moment. He worried that the West’s success with irrigation could be a mirage — that it took water for granted and didn’t appreciate the precariousness of our capacity to control it.” – Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times, January 20,2023 "The definitive work on the West's water crisis." --Newsweek The story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted and dammed, of political corruption and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecological and economic disaster. In his landmark book, Cadillac Desert, Marc Reisner writes of the earliest settlers, lured by the promise of paradise, and of the ruthless tactics employed by Los Angeles politicians and business interests to ensure the city's growth. He documents the bitter rivalry between two government giants, the Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in the competition to transform the West. Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose and a dramatic, intriguing history of the creation of an Eden--an Eden that may only be a mirage. This edition includes a new postscript by Lawrie Mott, a former staff scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council, that updates Western water issues over the last two decades, including the long-term impact of climate change and how the region can prepare for the future.
