  River Notes - Drought and the...

  From bestselling author, long-time former National Geographic Explorer, and anthropologist Wade Davis comes the story of America's Nile: how it once flowed freely and how human intervention has left it near exhaustion, altering the water temperature, volume, local species, and shoreline of the river Theodore Roosevelt once urged us to "leave it as it is." 
   
   
   
  Plugged by no fewer than twenty-five dams, the Colorado is the world's most regulated river drainage, providing most of the water supply of Las Vegas, Tucson, and San Diego, and much of the power and water of Los Angeles and Phoenix, cities that are home to more than 25 million people. For the entire American Southwest, the Colorado is indeed the river of life, which makes it all the more tragic and ironic that by the time it approaches its final destination, it has been reduced to a shadow upon the sand, its delta dry and deserted, its flow a toxic trickle seeping into the sea. 
   
   
   
  Yet despite more than a century of human interference, Davis writes, the splendor of the Colorado lives on in the river's remaining wild rapids, quiet pools, and sweeping canyons. The story of the Colorado River is the human quest for progress and its inevitable effects—and an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and foster the rebirth of America's most iconic waterway.

  Conquering Childhood Anemia -...

  Anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies affecting children worldwide, and among its various forms, iron deficiency anemia stands out as the most prevalent. Understanding what anemia is and how it impacts a child’s growth and development is the first step in effectively addressing and managing it. 
  At its core, anemia is a condition in which the body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry adequate oxygen to the body’s tissues. Hemoglobin is an essential protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and transports it from the lungs to the rest of the body. When iron levels are too low, the body cannot produce enough hemoglobin, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, irritability, and a noticeable decline in energy and attention span. In children, these symptoms can have a serious impact on their physical and cognitive development. 
  Iron plays a crucial role in a child’s growth. Beyond its function in making hemoglobin, iron is also necessary for brain development, muscle function, and the production of certain hormones. In growing kids, especially during periods of rapid development like infancy and adolescence, the demand for iron increases significantly. When this demand isn’t met through diet or supplementation, iron stores in the body begin to deplete, resulting in iron deficiency anemia. This is why children are particularly vulnerable during these critical windows of growth.

  So We and Our Children May Live...

  Will we choose life for our children and the future of our planet? Everywhere we look, we see signs that all is not right with our earth: Extreme weather patterns wreak havoc. Pollutants sour soils and waterways. Fires and floods ravage land and communities. Climate change is just a symptom of a larger ecological crisis. If we want change, the solutions can’t come through the same systems that created those problems. ​ Ecological justice requires us to challenge our assumptions about creation and our relationship to it. It requires decolonization. We must turn to the leadership of Indigenous communities who struggle for all life as land and water protectors, and we must call on people of faith to join them—to confront climate change and resource extraction and choose life for our children and the future of our planet. This book offers hope for a better future alongside concrete actions for joining with Indigenous Peoples to protect life and negotiate with decision-makers for sustainable change that follows Jesus.
