Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the population of the greater Las Vegas area grows and the climate warms, the threat of a water shortage looms over southern Nevada. But as Christian S. Harrison demonstrates in All the Water the Law Allows, the threat of shortage arises not from the local environment but from the American legal system, specifically the Law of the River that governs water allocation from the Colorado River. In this political and legal history of the Las Vegas water supply, Harrison focuses on the creation and actions of the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to tell a story with profound implications and important lessons for water politics and natural resource policy in the twenty-first century. In the state with the smallest allocation of the Colorado’s water supply, Las Vegas faces the twin challenges of aridity and federal law to obtain water for its ever-expanding population. All the Water the Law Allows describes how the impending threat of shortage in the 1980s compelled the five metropolitan water agencies of greater Las Vegas to unify into a single entity. Harrison relates the circumstances of the SNWA’s evolution and reveals how the unification of local, county, and state interests allowed the compact to address regional water policy with greater force and focus than any of its peers in the Colorado River Basin. Most notably, the SNWA has mapped conservation plans that have drastically reduced local water consumption; and, in the interstate realm, it has been at the center of groundbreaking, water-sharing agreements. Yet these achievements do not challenge the fundamental primacy of the Law of the River. If current trends continue and the Basin States are compelled to reassess the river’s distribution, the SNWA will be a force and a model for the Basin as a whole.
Download or read book All Gays Allowed written by Tim Schaffer and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lot of ambiguity and controversy over this hot topic. Is being gay a sin? Was it a wise decision to allow gay marriage in America? And did that decision provide freedom for our people, or did it possibly destroy another layer of fabric in our society? And why does it seem like God hates people who are gay and that homosexuality is wrong? Each of those matters will be revealed, but this book is also a guide to understanding the entire Christian faith. In under a hundred pages, you will know every important thing there is to know about why a Christian is a Christian, how someone gets into heaven, why you should trust the Bible, what happens if a person accepts Jesus but willingly stays in sin or doesn't have a life change, what women's place is in the Bible, why a loving God allows evil in the world and allows good people to suffer, and why God always seemed angry and killed thousands of persons in the Old Testament. This book will bring simple and logical answers to some of the most commonly asked and faith-staggering questions of our time. It will take us down the rabbit hole into understanding the entire Christian faith if you're not a Christian; it will equip the church if you are a Christian; and it will answer one of the most controversial topics of our day. Let's discover the truth to All Gays Allowed.
Download or read book All that Hollywood Allows written by Jackie Byars and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All that Hollywood Allows explores the representation of gender in popular Hollywood melodramas of the 1950s. Both a work of feminist film criticism and theory and an analysis of popular culture, this provocative book examines from a cultural studies perspective top-grossing film melodramas, such as A Streetcar Named Desire, From Here to Eternity, East of Eden, Imitation of Life and Picnic. Stereotypically viewed as a complacent and idyllic time, the 1950s were actually a time of dislocation and great social change. Jackie Byars argues that mass media texts of the period, especially films, provide evidence of society's consuming preoccupation with the domestic sphere - the nuclear family and its values - and she shows how Hollywood melodramas interpreted and extended societal debates concerning family structure, sexual divisions of labour, and gender roles. Her readings of these films assess a variety of critical methodologies and approaches to textual analysis, some central to feminist film studies and some previously bypassed by scholars in the field.

Download or read book It s All Allowed written by Deirdre Heddon and published by Intellect (UK). This book was released on 2016 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adrian Howells (1962-2014) was one of the world's leading figures in the field of one-to-one performance practice--the act of staging an event for one audience participant at a time. Developed over more than a decade, Howells's award-winning work demonstrated not only his enduring commitment to this genre of performance, but also his determination to find new challenges and innovations in performance art, "intimate theatre," and socially engaged art. It's All Allowed, edited by Deirdre Heddon and Dominic Johnson, is the first book devoted to Howells's remarkable achievements and legacy. Contributors here testify to the methodological, thematic, and historiographical challenges posed by Howells' performances. Citing his permissive mantra as its title, It's All Allowed includes new writing from leading scholars and artists, as well as writing by Howells himself, an extensive interview, scores, and visual materials, which together reveal new insight into Howells's groundbreaking process.
