Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE STRANGER STAYS I Slept ill that night; but for all I rose unusually early the next morning my uncle was downstairs before me The fire was lighted, and I heard the dull sound of the chaff-cutter in the hay hovel. I took the kettle and went out to draw water. My uncle walked past me as I bent over the well. He was carrying a sack of chop on his shoulders, and the light of his lantern fell on me; but he did not speak to me, and I did not speak to him. When I had got breakfast ready I shouted to him twice or thrice, and then he came. But he drew back from the lighted kitchen, called me forth into the dark, blew out the candle in the lantern, and then spoke. That tramp feller who came here last night Ay ? I said, for he seemed to await the response. I wanted to know if yer remembered. I'm going to keep him a while and try if he's good for oat. If he'll work, I'll find him in work. We sha'n't want to have Horn to help us so often. But if he's looking out for a place to live like a gentleman in, he's mistook his road. Now be sharp and let's have breakfast. He made a move to the door, but before I had started to follow he had turned again. Stop. P'r'aps yer think I've known this man afore ? It seemed to me he was trying to read my face by the feeble glimmer that surrounded the door. I don't know, I said. Yes, I said. He seemed a little taken aback, as though he had hoped for denial. Well, I did know him once?middling well?when we were lads. His father and mine?were neighbours. But that gives him no claim on me. He's made his own bed, and I've no call to interfere with his sleeping. Still, if the man will work, there's work for him. Just like anybody else. We went in. While we had been talking the tramp had entered the kitch...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ripple and Flood: A Novel Here I sit, pen in hand, but what I have to write comes slowly. When a man seeks to discover the limits of his memory, it is as if he were trying to map with a definitive pencil the evading bounds of a hazy horizon. What he sees he does not see, and what he does not see he sees., Vainly he strives to separate his recollections from the imaginations with which they are immeshed. Nay, were he able to do so, who Shall decide whether the remembrance or the surmise be the better founded on fact Therefore in these autobiographical scraps, which I am purposing to put together into whatever artless design they may best run, I must not be understood to vouch for the entire reality of this or that detail. All I can say for certain is that the past has come out towards me, and I have gone back on it until we have met; but whether I have travelled so far on solid footing or at a volatile impulse is more than I know.

Download or read book The Ripple Effect written by Alex Prud'homme and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AS ALEX PRUD’HOMME and his great-aunt Julia Child were completing their collaboration on her memoir, My Life in France, they began to talk about the French obsession with bottled water, which had finally spread to America. From this spark of interest, Prud’homme began what would become an ambitious quest to understand the evolving story of freshwater. What he found was shocking: as the climate warms and world population grows, demand for water has surged, but supplies of freshwater are static or dropping, and new threats to water quality appear every day. The Ripple Effect is Prud’homme’s vivid and engaging inquiry into the fate of freshwater in the twenty-first century. The questions he sought to answer were urgent: Will there be enough water to satisfy demand? What are the threats to its quality? What is the state of our water infrastructure—both the pipes that bring us freshwater and the levees that keep it out? How secure is our water supply from natural disasters and terrorist attacks? Can we create new sources for our water supply through scientific innovation? Is water a right like air or a commodity like oil—and who should control the tap? Will the wars of the twenty-first century be fought over water? Like Daniel Yergin’s classic The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power, Prud’homme’s The Ripple Effect is a masterwork of investigation and dramatic narrative. With striking instincts for a revelatory story, Prud’homme introduces readers to an array of colorful, obsessive, brilliant—and sometimes shadowy—characters through whom these issues come alive. Prud’homme traversed the country, and he takes readers into the heart of the daily dramas that will determine the future of this essential resource—from the alleged murder of a water scientist in a New Jersey purification plant, to the epic confrontation between salmon fishermen and copper miners in Alaska, to the poisoning of Wisconsin wells, to the epidemic of intersex fish in the Chesapeake Bay, to the wars over fracking for natural gas. Michael Pollan has changed the way we think about the food we eat; Alex Prud’homme will change the way we think about the water we drink. Informative and provocative, The Ripple Effect is a major achievement.

Book excerpt: The story of J. Harlan Bretz and the Lake Missoula Floods is becoming known throughout the northwest. What is little known is how that massive amount of water, rock, mud and ice affected our area of the flood path. On this field trip you will examine the Chehalem and Yamhill flood channels where the water was forced to speed up through a narrowing, left giant current ripples as the fast moving water redistributed the rock, sand and soil, and glacial erratic boulders -brought in on icebergs from the northern Rocky Mountains- were deposited in the northwestern portion of the Willamette Valley as the ice melted. -- page 3.
