This book is a must read for those who seek to understand her qualifications for national leadership. Sarah Takes on Big Oil illuminates her rise to power in Alaska, along with her concrete successes and failures in dealing with the industry that is the lifeblood of the state’s economy.

Sustainable Wastewater Treatment Systems
Water is one of the main concerns of modern societies. Climate change will significantly complicate access to quality water for millions of people worldwide and the threat of contamination of aquatic resources by poor wastewater management is real and growing fast. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment methods. Although there are numerous water treatment methods, not all of them are equally sustainable, be it environmentally, economically or ethically. For this book, some of the latest advances in sustainable wastewater treatments were collected and 13 articles selected. The selected articles deal with aspects such as the removal of nanoparticles, the applicability of constructed wetlands, the recovery/removal of wastewater, the use of low-cost bio-sorbents, the optimization of activated sludge, the application of advanced oxidation technologies, and the modeling of reverse osmosis systems. This book will give the reader an idea of the latest trends in the sector of sustainable wastewater treatment.
Sparrowbush
Mildred Harned is a young widow living with her three small daughters in the upstate New York town of Sparrowbush. The threadbare old community is also home to a forbidding maximum security prison named for the surrounding village. When a vacationing Manhattan trial lawyer stops at the widow Harned's remote Texaco station for gas—and a sandwich, he soon comes to suspect that Mildred's prison guard husband has been murdered by the local Correctional Officers' union because of his liberal views, and Mildred herself might be at risk. Furthermore, attorney Jack Stetson has taken a shine to the attractive activist. He'd like to know her better, and he figures it can't do any harm to linger a day or two in the dreary little village. But Jack's layover in quaintly named Sparrowbush soon becomes a nightmare!
