Sinopse

Aqueduct Systems History explores how ancient civilizations like the Romans, Persians, and Incas ingeniously solved the problem of water scarcity through the construction of elaborate aqueduct systems. These systems were more than mere infrastructure; they were vital to the growth and sustainability of these empires. For example, Roman aqueducts, known for their scale, supported urban sanitation and public health. Persian Qanat systems, on the other hand, prioritized sustainability in arid environments. The book delves into the historical, social, and technological contexts that enabled these engineering feats, highlighting their unique designs and construction methods. It reveals how these ancient technologies laid the foundation for modern water management practices, offering valuable lessons in sustainable engineering and resource management relevant to today's challenges of water scarcity and climate change. Structured with case studies, the book progresses from fundamental hydraulic principles to in-depth analyses of each civilization's approach. By examining archaeological findings, historical texts, and engineering analyses, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of these ancient marvels and their lasting impact on contemporary engineering. It uniquely compares aqueduct systems across cultures, offering insights for students, professionals, and anyone interested in history, technology, or environmental studies.

    The Mess of Me: Pain, Rejection, and the Fight to be Whole, is a raw, compassionate memoir about facing the truth we hide—and discovering that in the mess, we are still deeply loved.Joe Atinsky doesn’t offer a sanitized story or a tidy path to healing. Instead, he opens the door to his own lived experience—years of perfectionism, buried shame, spiritual pressure, and the unraveling of everything he thought would save him. But this isn’t a story about falling apart. It’s a story about what begins to grow when the hiding stops.With honesty and gentleness, Joe invites listeners into his journey—not to shock, but to show. To offer a voice for those who may never feel safe to share their pain out loud. Whether you’re walking through faith deconstruction, emotional exhaustion, identity confusion, or the long, quiet work of healing from childhood wounds—this story is here to meet you in your own mess.Through therapy, spiritual honesty, and the grace of real community, Joe finds a way forward. He doesn’t abandon faith—he rebuilds it. Not through performance, but through presence. Not by becoming someone else, but by finally becoming himself.The Mess of Me speaks to the silent parts inside us all. It’s for anyone who’s been told to be perfect, to be strong, to hold it together no matter the cost. And it’s for those ready to begin again—not by fixing what’s broken, but by honoring what’s real.In the mess, we are seen. In the mess, we are loved. In the mess, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. And in that sacred space, wounded purpose can recover—and the real you can finally begin to live.

    From midwifing new lambs to harvesting basil, Jessica Gigot invites the reader into her life on a small farm and the uncommon road that led her there. Fascinated by farming and the burgeoning local food movement, she spent her twenties wandering the Pacific Northwest, interning at small farms and doing graduate work in horticulture, always with an eye towards learning as much as she could about how and why people farm. Despite numerous setbacks and the many challenges of farming, she created a family and farm life defined by resilience and a genuine love of the land.   
    In A Little Bit of Land, Gigot explores the intricacies of small-scale agriculture in the Pacific Northwest and the changing role of women in this male-dominated industry. Gigot alternates between chapters describing joys, routines, and challenges of farm life and chapters reflecting on her formative experiences in agriculture, on farms and in classrooms from Ashland to the Skagit Valley. Throughout, she explores questions of sustainability, economics, health, and food systems.

    People who are difficult to deal with can be encountered in any sphere of life, and it can be challenging to navigate personal and professional settings in which they are present. They frequently engage in conduct that is aggravating, insulting, and, at times, even painful to others. The phrase "difficult people" refers to people who display a variety of problematic behaviors that make it difficult for others to communicate effectively, work collaboratively, and develop healthy connections. 
    Difficult behavior can manifest itself in a wide variety of ways, and its roots can lie in a wide variety of underlying problems. Some people may exhibit aggressive conduct, while other people may engage in passive-aggressive or manipulative behavior instead. It's possible that some are merely impolite or dismissive. No matter how it manifests itself, challenging behavior has the potential to aggravate and strain personal as well as professional relationships, in addition to having a negative impact on both mental health and physical well-being.

    From one of Africa’s most acclaimed writers, poetry about the Nigeria-Biafra war 
    Everyone carries a piece of the war within them: what happens when we neglect to consider each individual’s story? The Nigeria-Biafra War (1967–70) erupted when the southeastern region of Nigeria, known as Biafra, declared independence. It was a major conflict; however, this war remains largely absent from official historical accounts. While victims have passed down their experiences across generations, the official silence and the dominance of narratives from larger ethnic groups have perpetuated stereotypes that diminish the suffering of some victims. The differing narratives that are absent from history books continue to divide and polarize social groups within Nigeria and beyond.  
    Weaving together cut-ups and redactions from personal narratives, historical accounts, and reflections on the enduring impact of war, and with raw language and searing imagery, the poems in Circumtrauma grapple with loss, resilience, and the search for healing amidst the fractures of deep-seated divisions.  
    This collection compels readers to confront the profound and often-silenced complexities of history, the intergenerational weight of inherited suffering, and the urgent need to acknowledge the diverse experiences and perspectives of all those impacted by the tragedy of war. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to bear witness to the human condition, offering a path towards healing and reconciliation.
