Book excerpt: Flowing through the heart of Cincinnati to the Ohio River, the Mill Creek is one of the most severely polluted & physically degraded urban streams in the United States. The book is a valuable case study on how human activity & land use impact water resources over time. It chronicles the stream's environmental history, beginning with a description of the creek's geological past & its pristine ecosystem in the early 1700s.

The book ends with a summary of present day environmental problems & outlines a restoration strategy for repairing the damage. "This book will become the foundation for restoration work ahead & provides a model for people working to reclaim other streams in cities in crisis across the United States," said Paul Labovitz, Rivers, Trails & Conservation Assistance Program, National Park Service. "This volume will be useful to students in a variety of disciplines, including history, environmental & urban history, political science, regional & city planning, biology & to general readers concerned with environmental issues," said Zane L.

Download or read book Mill Creek written by Omar Eby and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mill Creek tells the story of the age-old struggle of an adolescent's attempts to understand himself and his world. Peter Martin, the brainy, shy, farm-boy narrator, pious beyond his years, fi ghts a private war: whether to remain with his strict farm people or whether to embrace his best friend's anarchic approach to Mennonite life. Arthur Nyce, with his fl ashy clothes, his repertoire of pop tunes, his dereliction of a school's prescribed piety and his open affection throws Peter off balance again and again. Mill Creek records Peter's fl uctuations between accepting and denying the diverse aspects of these two approaches to Mennonite life. An almost amorous friendship, the threat of the draft (Korean War), the lure of art, a pregnancy and a tragic drowning aid Peter to make compromising moves to pay tribute to his friend Arthur. In the end, Peter resolves to fi nd a way out of what he has come to understand as the religious oppression of his own community. Set on the campus of a boarding school, this wry, affectionate depiction of two boys' struggles towards adulthood illuminates the golden era of conservative Lancaster (PA) Mennonites in the early 1950s. The youth in Mill Creek are pious, sentimental and romantic. They blend a serious intent to imitate their stolid elders and to mock lightly without fully discarding their heritage. Tender and passionate, innocent and sentimental, rigid and heartbreaking, the novel is a requiem for joy.

Download or read book Historic Mill Creek Park written by Carol Potter and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1891 as OhioÃ's first park district, Mill Creek Park encompasses a unique wealth of natural and designed features that have been the backdrop for generations of family memories, spanning three centuries. A remarkable visionary, park founder Volney Rogers argued that the land itself could improve the lives of YoungstownÃ's residents. Through fresh air for mill-weary lungs and tree laced horizons for workroom-bound spirits, he knew a park would make the community a better place for families. And he succeeded magnificently. Rogers and the nationally known landscape architects that he hired created breathtaking vistas of LantermanÃ's Falls and scenic gorges and designed trails, drives, and three pleasure lakes. Other park features include nature preserves, display gardens, recreational fields, a Donald Ross-designed golf course, and a legacy of historic structures. Mill Creek Park indeed has earned its legendary claim as the most beautiful urban park in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each poem within this collection, whether historically based, fictional, or fantasy, has some connection with or to my father’s sacred ground, the Old Mill Creek; founded in 1861, the 2,500-acre nature preserve is Ohio’s first district park. Your reading journey includes “Star-crossed Lovers Nevermore,” a poem inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Two poems connected with the family Home Cemetery, where generations of my father’s family and relatives rest, is nestled within the park. The final three poems are a trilogy, part fiction with small, surgical incisions of real events that follow a family’s journey through “Magic in the Trees,” “The Dragon’s Lair,” and “The Miracle of the Polished Stone.” The trilogy presents a dynamic illustration of the dichotomy of human consciousness; the Yin and Yang of the circle of reality and fantasy, tragedy and joy, and despair and redemption.
