Where the Water Goes
Author: David Owen
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698189906
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
“Wonderfully written…Mr. Owen writes about water, but in these polarized times the lessons he shares spill into other arenas. The world of water rights and wrongs along the Colorado River offers hope for other problems.” —Wall Street Journal An eye-opening account of where our water comes from and where it all goes. The Colorado River is an essential resource for a surprisingly large part of the United States, and every gallon that flows down it is owned or claimed by someone. David Owen traces all that water from the Colorado’s headwaters to its parched terminus, once a verdant wetland but now a million-acre desert. He takes readers on an adventure downriver, along a labyrinth of waterways, reservoirs, power plants, farms, fracking sites, ghost towns, and RV parks, to the spot near the U.S.–Mexico border where the river runs dry. Water problems in the western United States can seem tantalizingly easy to solve: just turn off the fountains at the Bellagio, stop selling hay to China, ban golf, cut down the almond trees, and kill all the lawyers. But a closer look reveals a vast man-made ecosystem that is far more complex and more interesting than the headlines let on. The story Owen tells in Where the Water Goes is crucial to our future: how a patchwork of engineering marvels, byzantine legal agreements, aging infrastructure, and neighborly cooperation enables life to flourish in the desert—and the disastrous consequences we face when any part of this tenuous system fails.

During spring break in March 2013, Mary Owen, a twenty-three-year-old student at George Fox University, went missing. She was an avid adventurer and outdoor enthusiast who had previously hiked the 2653 mile long Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). Friends from many communities around the world, PCT hiking buddies, friends living outside on the streets of Portland, fellow students and teachers, past and present employers and co-workers, former home school and speech club pals, people from churches and fellowships, along with family and relatives, all united in fervent prayer for her to be found alive.This is a story of the agony one mistake can precipitate, a story of blunder, peril, and reckoning on a hazardous mountain at a dangerous time of year. It is a compelling story of obsession, the allure of the outdoors, intense longing for adventure, entrapment in the wild, and Providential survival. It is an unforgettable story of prayer, faith, and hope, and of days of silence, turned into song and resurrection.Many people have asked for this story to be written. The book includes Mary's account, her parents' perspectives, along with a collage of contributions from other people who became part of the story as it unfolded in real-time. It is about Mary's miraculous preservation, rescue, and healing after she became injured and stranded alone on Sandy Glacier for six days on Mount Hood in Oregon. Her story went viral when she was found and plucked off the mountain one day before Easter. *This is the EXPANDED EDITION of the book. It's expressly for family and friends and costs a little more than the regular edition. This is because it has color photos and four bonus chapters, featuring more background information about Mary and the support of family and friends throughout the incident.

Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Listen! For I sing of Owen Thorskard: valiant of heart, hopeless at algebra, last in a long line of legendary dragon slayers. Though he had few years and was not built for football, he stood between the town of Trondheim and creatures that threatened its survival. There have always been dragons. As far back as history is told, men and women have fought them, loyally defending their villages. Dragon slaying was a proud tradition. But dragons and humans have one thing in common: an insatiable appetite for fossil fuels. From the moment Henry Ford hired his first dragon slayer, no small town was safe. Dragon slayers flocked to cities, leaving more remote areas unprotected. Such was Trondheim's fate until Owen Thorskard arrived. At sixteen, with dragons advancing and his grades plummeting, Owen faced impossible odds—armed only with a sword, his legacy, and the classmate who agreed to be his bard. Listen! I am Siobhan McQuaid. I alone know the story of Owen, the story that changes everything. Listen!
