Water World

Casa editrice: BookRix

Sinossi

The book is in the vein of going to outline the characteristics of "planet water" while taking a different view of the whole. Instead of delving into only one particular aspect (the scientific-technological or the social, for example), it was preferred to consider all the links that water has to man and society, going on to outline a series of "journeys," each corresponding to each of the seven chapters that form the structure of the writing. Very briefly, these different and complementary points of view can be summarized in this outline: The indissoluble link between water and life, from the Universe to our Planet to the biosphere and our cells. The chemical and physical properties of water, what they depend on and what influences they have in defining the importance of this molecule. Water-related phenomena such as the water cycle, geology, types of water, and everything related to the morphology of planet Earth. What uses, how much consumption and treatments are related to water to understand the numbers, purposes and quality of water used. What are the social aspects related to water from historical, economic and political aspects to all forms of artistic expression and daily life. How we are attacking water through pollutions of various kinds, the problem of global warming, and waste related to today's society. The concept of water rights, the scarcity of water resources with related inequalities, the confrontation-clash between market vision and essential human rights. The beginning and the end of the book constitute the central themes around which all the arguments unfold. The link to life and the right to water are two sides of the same coin that will lead to very precise and detailed conclusions, such as the awareness of a new sustainable model of development, the necessary actions to combat global problems such as pollution, global warming and water scarcity, and the conviction that rights and life are more important and necessary than purely economic iss

Walking Lois Home - Living Out...

Michael Balboni, Tracy Balboni

As Christians, we are called to care for those who face the physical and spiritual struggles inherent in a dire diagnosis. Yet we often feel ill-equipped to minister to the sick and dying. Written by a doctor and a pastor who are also professional caregivers, Walking Lois Home tenderly teaches us the steps to the delicate dance of navigating serious illness and supporting those facing the end of their earthly lives with love, attention, grace, and understanding. 
Walking through a serious illness can be a frightening and lonely prospect, even when we have people in our lives who care about us. Whether we are the patient or the caregiver, we may experience anger or fear as we hear diagnoses and prognoses, confusion as we consider complex medical decisions and treatment plans, or even despair when we confront the prospect of loss and death. 
Drawing from both research-based insights and their real-life experience with Lois Meinhardt, a former professional ballroom dancer whom they brought into their home to care for when she was dying of cancer, Tracy and Michael Balboni describe medical, theological, and practical ways to heed Christ's call to love one another in tangible ways at the end of this life.
