Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eel River Rising is a touching and compelling story of love, friendship and choices from Laura Reasoner Jones, author of The All-Wise Being. In the 1870s, young Flora Meranda is determined to become a doctor like her father, even though she knows her path will be challenging and strewn with obstacles. Flora's story is told through the eyes of her Midwestern friends and family members, women whose lives touch or are touched by Flora and her dream: her cousin Catharine, a Kansas pioneer whose difficult choices of her own lead her little sister Libbet to self-destruct under the weight of her genius; her older sister Macy, whose Civil War romance colors her days into the 20th century; Flora's mother Anna, who strikes out for the wilderness of northern Indiana to make a place for her and her family; Rosa, a young German immigrant who, with Flora, experiences the Midwest's worst natural disaster ever; Kate, mother to a world-famous composer and songwriter, who carefully guards one of the many secrets of Flora's life; Gem, the "college girl" who captures the heart of Flora's son; Luella, the hateful sister-law; Nona, Flora's best friend who steers Flora through town society; Dorothy, Flora's granddaughter who sees Flora for the heroine she is, and Ida, renowned writer and suffragist who uses Flora's story to inspire other women to fight for their rights. Flora holds secrets from her family and from herself. In doing so, she destroys what she holds most dear. Losing her dream as a young girl makes her finds other ways to serve, but in doing so, defies convention and forces her to work in secret. Eel River Rising spans the 19th and 20th centuries, addressing issues facing women both then and today: access to education, marriage and family roles, and equal rights. Disappointments and new directions for each of the women challenge perceptions of the struggle for equal rights and opportunities. Eel River Rising is a companion to Jones' earlier book The All-Wise Being: A Tale of God and Republicans. The story of Flora's husband Ethan, a Hoosier politician and attorney, the two books complement each other, telling the same story through different eyes.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1964 flood in the Eel and Klamath Rivers drainages represents an extreme weather event. Both the Northern California and Southern Oregon coasts are host to many floods, but the 1964 flood stands out as a representation of the "perfect storm." Three events occurred that led to the flood. First, a cold front moved in and dropped several feet of snow. Second, a warm front called the "pineapple connection" moved in and released lots of rain while melting the snowfall--local measurements varied from 20 to 32 inches of rainwater in three days. And third, the highest tide of the year had backed up debris and water for several miles. At its peak, the Eel River was discharging more than 800,000 cubic feet per second. Another contributing factor was that besides being one of the fastest rising and falling rivers in the world, the Eel River has the heaviest sediment load second only to the Yellow River in China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California Rivers and Streams provides a clear and informative overview of the physical and biological processes that shape California's rivers and watersheds. Jeffrey Mount introduces relevant basic principles of hydrology and geomorphology and applies them to an understanding of the differences in character of the state's many rivers. He then builds on this foundation by evaluating the impact on waterways of different land use practices—logging, mining, agriculture, flood control, urbanization, and water supply development. Water may be one of California's most valuable resources, but it is far from being one we control. In spite of channels, levees, lines and dams, the state's rivers still frequently flood, with devastating results. Almost all the rivers in California are dammed or diverted; with the booming population, there will be pressure for more intervention. Mount argues that Californians know little about how their rivers work and, more importantly, how and why land-use practices impact rivers. The forceful reconfiguration and redistribution of the rivers has already brought the state to a critical crossroads. California Rivers and Streams forces us to reevaluate our use of the state's rivers and offers a foundation for participating in the heated debates about their future.

Book excerpt: THE DUCK POINT YACHT CLUB, located on a peninsula on the New England coast, has welcomed invitees for over one hundred fifty years. When the charred relic of the clubs dory appears on the river and a naked wooden leg peeps out from under the stern thwart, two men suffering from professional loneliness are suddenly thrust into the midst of a murder mystery. Paul Leach is a retired orthopedic surgeon who, with the help of a down-and-out police detective, becomes a self-appointed murder investigator. Eva Gitane, a seductive young beauty, has mysteriously vanished; when her body part turns up abruptly, Leach becomes frustrated by a confusing trail of gruesome clues. Unable to pinpoint any one of three males who once rivaled for Evas attention as her killer, Leach focuses on locating her body, wherever it might lieunderground or underwater. As body pieces continue to emerge along the seashore, the doctor studies them in secret, applying knowledge gathered in his medical career and bone-collecting hobby. But as Leach arrives at a startling discovery only he could have fathomed, he realizes that Eva may have been not only enchanting, but also smart enough to catch her own killer.
