Among the many special features of this book, is the clear explanation of why it is so difficult for a drug addict to break away from his/her bondage. The relational aspect of substance abuse is uniquely put side by side the union between a husband and wife, "until death do us part" This book offers the reader facts easy to comprehend and numerous experimental insights. Since this book is written from a family's viewpoint into substance abuse, the reader cannot help~ but feel the pain and see the tears a family lives through when one of their loved ones is chemical dependent. While the main focus is on the drug addict, another touching and helpful feature, is the unmasking of the torments of the addict's parents and siblings.

Book excerpt: The Erie Canal was a preposterous idea. Even President Thomas Jefferson, usually ahead of his time, believed that it could not be built for at least a century, and yet, the Erie Canal came to be just as its planners had thought it would. For the first time in the history of the United States, a cheap, fast route ran through the Appalachians, the mountains that had so effectively divided the West from the East of early America. With the canal, the country's fertile interior became accessible and its great inland lakes were linked to all the seas of the world. Here, from award-winning historian Ralph K. Andrist, is the canal's dramatic and little-told story.

Download or read book Canal Boatman written by Richard Garrity and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1984-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Garrity grew up on his father's boats on the Erie Canal in the early years of this century. From 1905 until 1916, when his father operated boats first in the lumber trade and later for gravel hauling, he was surrounded by the busy life of a now-bygone era in canal boating in Upstate New York. When the Barge Canal System opened in 1918, Garrity began a career that lasted until his retirement as a tug engineer in 1970. This story is chock full of Americana that is not only significant and authentic but engagingly written. Garrity's life and work have been intimately bound up with the famed Big Ditch, which has been referred to in more romantic literature as the "shining ribbon of water." It was a hard but happy life on the waterways of Upstate New York as seen in the text and dozens of illustrations included in this book.

Book excerpt: When it was completed in 1825, the Erie Canal caused a great sensation. Though plans for an artificial waterway to link the Great Lakes with the eastern seaboard were underway as early as 1783, supporters of the project experienced difficulties in finding federal funding. With New York State footing the bill, construction finally began on the canal on July 4, 1817, following the inauguration of DeWitt Clinton, the canal's biggest advocate, as governor of New York. The Erie Canal's completion brought an increase in goods and capital to New York, surpassed Boston and Philadelphia as the leading financial and commercial center in the nation. For many years, the Erie Canal served as the chief traffic artery for both passengers and freight, and the population increased in large numbers throughout the state. However, the middle of 19th century brought steady competition from the railroads, and the canal's commercial importance was greatly reduced. Today, the Erie Canal is a branch of the New York State Canal System and is considered a relatively minor commercial waterway. In The Erie Canal: Linking the Great Lakes, read how this manmade waterway that extends from Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York, to the Hudson River in Albany helped shape the future of the Empire State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the American Revolutionary War, distance and difficult terrain made the western frontier of the newly formed United States seem like a world apart from the thirteen Atlantic-seaboard colonies. To better preserve the union, as well as advance the country's fledgling independent economy, a group of statesmen proposed building a canal that would connect these unified yet disparate locations. At first considered a "folly," the Erie Canal wound up achieving those lofty goals and more. Readers uncover the reasons and strategies behind the building of the canal, and the ways in which this crucial waterway facilitated U.S. westward expansion.

Download or read book Enterprising Waters written by Brad L. Utter and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicles the story of the Erie Canal from its inception to today. One of the largest public works projects in American history, the Erie Canal inspired a nationwide transportation revolution and directed the course of New York and American history. When completed in 1825, the engineering marvel unlocked the Western interior for trade and settlement, boomtowns sprang up along the canal’s path, and New York City grew to be the nation’s most powerful center of international trade. Millions of people poured into New York (and some through it) to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities provided by the canal, influencing settlement and the social, political, and commercial landscapes of America. Produced in honor of the bicentennial of the beginning of construction of the canal, Enterprising Waters—a companion catalog to the New York State Museum’s exhibition of the same name—includes reproductions of objects and images from the collections of more than thirty-five different institutions and individual lenders. It also contains reproductions of fifty-nine works of art used in the companion exhibition “Art of the Erie Canal.” Themes of politics, engineering, commerce, life on the canal, and more are paired with full color images of artifacts, documents, and images to bring this unique American story to life, from its inception to today. “Enterprising Waters is, like the Erie Canal itself, an ambitious achievement. Its spectacular visual images vividly portray the waterway’s material world as well as its artistic legacy, while the accompanying text concisely covers two centuries of Erie Canal history. No matter how much, or how little, readers know already about New York’s artificial waterways, they can learn from (and enjoy!) this beautiful catalog.” — Carol Sheriff, author of The Artificial River: The Erie Canal and the Paradox of Progress, 1817–1862 “A fine presentation in words and images of the great project that inspired New York and the nation.” — Gerard Koeppel, author of Bond of Union: Building the Erie Canal and the American Empire
