Construction and operation costs of future water development in these states will be great, both in dollars and in economic and social effects.

The Varsity
Praise for THE VARSITY from Tom Brokaw, author of The Greatest Generation: "Lee Brown has discovered and written about an important and fascinating aspect of the Greatest Generation.

Handbook of Autobiography / Autofiction
Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre.
