Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 0763654477
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
A teenager struggles through physical loss to the start of acceptance in an absorbing, artful novel at once honest and insightful, wrenching and redemptive. (Age 12 and up) On a sunny day in June, at the beach with her mom and brother, fifteen-year-old Jane Arrowood went for a swim. And then everything -- absolutely everything -- changed. Now she’s counting down the days until she returns to school with her fake arm, where she knows kids will whisper, "That’s her -- that’s Shark Girl," as she passes. In the meantime there are only questions: Why did this happen? Why her? What about her art? What about her life? In this striking first novel, Kelly Bingham uses poems, letters, telephone conversations, and newspaper clippings to look unflinchingly at what it’s like to lose part of yourself - and to summon the courage it takes to find yourself again.

The History of the London Water Industry, 1580–1820
Author: Leslie Tomory
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421422042
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
"Beginning in 1580, London companies sold water to consumers through a large network of wooden mains in the expanding metropolis. This new water industry flourished throughout the 1600s, eventually expanding to serve tens of thousands of homes. By the late eighteenth century, more than 80 percent of the city's houses had water connections-making London the best-served metropolis in the world while demonstrating that it was legally, commercially, and technologically possible to run an infrastructure network within the largest city on earth. Leslie Tomory shows how new technologies imported from the Continent, including waterwheel-driven piston pumps, spurred the rapid growth of London's water industry. The business was further sustained by an explosion in consumer demand. Meanwhile, several key local innovations reshaped the industry by enlarging the size of the supply network. By 1800, the success of London's water industry made it a model for other cities in Europe and beyond as they began to build their own water networks, and it inspired builders of other large-scale urban projects, including gas and sewage supply networks."--Provided by the publisher.

The Gods, the Little Guys, and the Police
Author: Humberto Costantini
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Argentina
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
"Once a week, every week for ten years, members of the Polimnia Club have met to read and recite poetry. They are as apolitical, innocent, and innocuous as their verse. But they live in Beunos Aires in the mid-1970s, during the worst of Argentina's "dirty war." Because of that, and because a jealous wife wants to punish her wandering husband, and because the gods are meddling in the affairs of mortals . . . they have all been marked for Death. This novel by a brilliant Argentinian satirist, dares to expose with devastating wit the political terror, brutal repressiveness, and irrational violence that characterizes life in a dictatorship."--Goodreads
