Heiress Lady Vanessa Wolfe is the talk of the season because everyone is curious whom she will wed. Her brother Corey, the true heir to Wolfe Abbey, has been reported missing after a battle against Napoleon on the continent, and he may be dead.

Her reluctance offers the perfect opportunity for Ross Brickendon, a viscount, to make a bet with his two bored friends, Sir Wilbur Haskett and Bruce Swinton.

Pages : 358
Book Description
Set in modern-day Quebec city, the story follows the fortunes of a certain James Wolfe, an 'actor' so dedicated to the portrayal of the last moments of his famous military and antecedent of the famous 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham, that he is willing to incorporate into his shaky personality several of the General's better and lesser known faults and foibles, not excluding severe hypochondria and more than a touch of paranoia. His work is assisted by his fabulously patient and loyal wife Helene, as well as by the wildly innovative, opera-loving psychiatrist Dr. Gunnar Boll, who was actually the actor's esteemed dentist before losing certain indispensible digits in a tragic goose-hunting accident caused by his dog, Walid Jumblatt. The Wolfe Chronicles is part history and part humor with a sharp salute to the philosophy of the absurd; and while set in Quebec, its themes are easily recognizable as universal.

The Man Who Thought He Owned Water
Author: Tershia d'Elgin
Publisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 1607324962
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
The Man Who Thought He Owned Water is author Tershia d’Elgin’s fresh take on the gravest challenge of our time—how to support urbanization without killing ourselves in the process. The gritty story of her family’s experience with water rights on its Colorado farm provides essential background about American farms, food, and water administration in the West in the context of growing cities and climate change. Enchanting and informative, The Man Who Thought He Owned Water is an appeal for urban-rural cooperation over water and resiliency. When her father bought his farm—Big Bend Station—he also bought the ample water rights associated with the land and the South Platte River, confident that he had secured the necessary resources for a successful endeavor. Yet water immediately proved fickle, hard to defend, and sometimes dangerous. Eventually those rights were curtailed without compensation. Through her family’s story, d’Elgin dramatically frames the personal-scale implications of water competition, revealing how water deals, infrastructure, transport, and management create economic growth but also sever human connections to Earth’s most vital resource. She shows how water flows to cities at the expense of American-grown food, as rural land turns to desert, wildlife starves, the environment degrades, and climate change intensifies. Depicting deep love, obsession, and breathtaking landscape, The Man Who Thought He Owned Water is an impassioned call to rebalance our relationship with water. It will be of great interest to anyone seeking to understand the complex forces affecting water resources, food supply, food security, and biodiversity in America.
