  A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America. 
   
   
   
  Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern. He reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees, jetties, dikes, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems, but may not work much longer, and explores how scientists are scrambling to restore what's been lost. Rich and powerful, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power.

  Legionella - Causes Solutions...

  Legionella is a type of bacteria that can cause a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. The bacterium is found naturally in freshwater environments such as rivers and lakes, but it becomes a concern in man-made water systems. Legionella thrives in warm water environments, particularly when water is stagnant or not properly maintained. Some of the most common places where Legionella can grow include cooling towers, hot tubs, air conditioning units, and plumbing systems, all of which can provide the ideal conditions for bacterial growth. 
  The first documented outbreak of Legionnaires' disease occurred in 1976 at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia, where over 200 individuals became ill, and 34 people died. This event led to the identification of the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, which was named after the American Legion convention. Since then, Legionnaires' disease has been associated with various outbreaks, particularly in large buildings, hospitals, and hotels, where water systems are extensive and difficult to manage. 
  Legionella bacteria are transmitted through the inhalation of aerosolized water droplets contaminated with the bacteria. This can occur when people breathe in mist, vapor, or water droplets from sources like air conditioning units, hot tubs, or showers. The bacteria can infect the lungs, leading to symptoms similar to pneumonia, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, and muscle aches. In severe cases, the disease can cause respiratory failure, organ damage, and even death, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, smokers, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

  Stone by Stone - The Magnificent...

  There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story. 
   
   
   
  Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into "linear landfills," a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeast's landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy. 
   
   
   
  Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.
