Kelley.! Copies will be available at Pomegranate Books for a 15% discount! \n \n\nAmerica’s infrastructure is old and underfunded.

SUMMARY:April/May Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to everyone who attended the last meeting to discuss River-Horse: A Journey Across America by William Least Heat-Moon\, and a special thanks to member Fred Bingham for leading it! \nOur book selection for April/May 2022 is a deep dive into environmental history from the formation of the U.S. Constitution to the national tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and water wars out West titled\, The Source: How Rivers Made America and America Remade Its Rivers by Doyle Martin \n“America has more than 250\,000 rivers\, coursing over more than 3 million miles and serving as integral trade routes\, borders\, passageways\, sewers\, and sinks. Over the years\, based on our shifting needs and values\, we have harnessed their power with water-wheels and dams\, straightened them for ships\, drained them with irrigation canals\, set them on fire\, and even attempted to restore them. This environmental history tells the story of America and its rivers\, from the U.S. Constitution’s roots in interstate river navigation\, the origins of the Army Corps of Engineers\, the discovery of gold in 1848\, and the construction of the Hoover Dam and the TVA during the New Deal\, to the failure of the levees in Hurricane Katrina and the water wars in the west. Along the way\, it explores how rivers have often been the source of arguments at the heart of the American experiment―over federalism\, sovereignty and property rights\, taxation\, regulation\, conservation\, and development.” \nOur next meeting is scheduled for Saturday\, May 28\, 2022 at 10:30AM outside at Pomegranate Books (Weather Permitting). \nCFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount at Pomegranate Books (910) 452-1107.

SUMMARY:February/March Book Club
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book club will be held on Saturday\, March 26\, 2022\, at 10:30AM at Pomegranate Books.\n\n\nRiver-Horse: A Journey Across America by William Least Heat-Moon\n\n\nIn River-Horse\, the preeminent chronicler of American back roads recounts his singular voyage on American waters from sea to sea. Along the route\, he offers a lyrical and ceaselessly fascinating shipboard perspective on the country’s rivers\, lakes\, canals\, and landscapes. Brimming with history\, drama\, humor\, and wisdom\, River-Horse belongs in the pantheon of American travel literature.\n\nIn his most ambitious journey ever\, Heat-Moon sets off aboard a small boat he named Nikawa (“river horse” in Osage) from the Atlantic at New York Harbor in hopes of entering the Pacific near Astoria\, Oregon. He and his companion\, Pilotis\, struggle to cover some five thousand watery miles — more than any other cross-country river traveler has ever managed — often following in the wakes of our most famous explorers\, from Henry Hudson to Lewis and Clark.\n\nEn route\, the voyagers confront massive floods\, submerged rocks\, dangerous weather\, and their own doubts about whether they can complete the trip. But the hard days yield up incomparable pleasures: strangers generous with help and eccentric tales\, landscapes unchanged since Sacagawea saw them\, riverscapes flowing with a lively past\, and the growing belief that efforts to protect our lands and waters are beginning to pay off. And\, throughout its course\, the expedition enjoys coincidences so breathtaking as to suggest the intervention of a divine and witty Providence.\n\nTeeming with humanity and high adventure\, Heat-Moon’s account is an unsentimental and original arteriogram of our nation at the edge of the millennium.”

SUMMARY:December/January Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water by Charles Fishman\n\n\n\n“The Big Thirst brilliantly explores our strange and complex relationship to water. We delight in watching waves roll in from the ocean; we take great comfort from sliding into a hot bath; and we will pay a thousand times the price of tap water to drink our preferred brand of the bottled version. We love water—but at the moment\, we don’t appreciate it or respect it. Just as we’ve begun to reimagine our relationship to food\, a change that is driving the growth of the organic and local food movements\, we must also rethink how we approach and use water. The good news is that we can. As Fishman shows\, a host of advances are under way\, from the simplicity of harvesting rainwater to the brilliant innovations devised by companies such as IBM\, GE\, and Royal Caribbean that are making impressive breakthroughs in water productivity. Knowing what to do is not the problem. Ultimately\, the hardest part is changing our water consciousness. \n \nAs Charles Fishman writes\, ‘Many civilizations have been crippled or destroyed by an inability to understand water or manage it. We have a huge advantage over the generations of people who have come before us\, because we can understand water and we can use it smartly.’ The Big Thirst will forever change the way we think about water\, about our essential relationship to it\, and about the creativity we can bring to ensuring that we’ll always have plenty of it.”\n\n\n \n\nOur next meeting is scheduled for Saturday\, January 22\, 2022 at 10:30AM outside at Pomegranate Books (Weather Permitting). Due to COVID-19 social gathering restrictions\, chairs will need to be spaced at least 6ft apart. \n \nCFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount at Pomegranate Books (910) 452-1107.

SUMMARY:Oct/Nov Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Northland: A 4\,000-Mile Journey Along America’s Forgotten Border by Porter Fox\n\n \n\n“America’s northern border is the world’s longest international boundary\, yet it remains obscure even to Americans. The northern border was America’s primary border for centuries―much of the early history of the United States took place there―and to the tens of millions who live and work near the line\, the region even has its own name: the northland.\n\nTravel writer Porter Fox spent three years exploring 4\,000 miles of the border between Maine and Washington\, traveling by canoe\, freighter\, car\, and foot. In Northland\, he blends a deeply reported and beautifully written story of the region’s history with a riveting account of his travels. Setting out from the easternmost point in the mainland United States\, Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain’s adventures across the Northeast; recounts the rise and fall of the timber\, iron\, and rail industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; tracks America’s fur traders through the Boundary Waters; and traces the forty-ninth parallel from Minnesota to the Pacific Ocean. Fox\, who grew up the son of a boat-builder in Maine’s northland\, packs his narrative with colorful characters (Captain Meriwether Lewis\, railroad tycoon James J. Hill\, Chief Red Cloud of the Lakota Sioux) and extraordinary landscapes (Glacier National Park\, the Northwest Angle\, Washington’s North Cascades). He weaves in his encounters with residents\, border guards\, Indian activists\, and militia leaders to give a dynamic portrait of the northland today\, wracked by climate change\, water wars\, oil booms\, and border security.”\n\n\n\nOur next meeting is scheduled for Saturday\, November 20\, 2021…10:30AM outside at Pomegranate Books (Weather Permitting). Due to COVID-19 social gathering restrictions\, chairs will need to be spaced at least 6ft apart. \n \nCFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount at Pomegranate Books (910) 452-1107.

SUMMARY:December/January Book Club
DESCRIPTION:December/January CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nJanuary 23 @ 10:30am\nJoin us for our December/January CFRW Book Club Meeting! This time\, the book is real fishy because it’s all about the British Columbia commercial fishing industry!–It features halibut\, black cod and fish thought to be extinct! So\, we hope you’re ready to put your hooks into Still Fishin’: The BC Fishing Industry Revisited by Alan Haig-Brown. \n“It is generally known that the West Coasts once-great commercial fishing industry has fallen on hard times\, but as Alan Haig-Brown demonstrates in this new book\, reports of its demise are exaggerated. A veteran of the industry himself\, Haig-Brown here offers a state of the industry report\, discovering pockets of surprising activity among the vistas of closed processing plants\, downsized fleets and corporate concentration. The Ray Phillips family of Pender Harbour continue to support a second generation by fishing halibut and black cod. Albert Radil and his two brothers have found success trawling hake in Queen Charlotte Sound. Seiner John Lenic is taking advantage of the miraculous reappearance in BC waters of the pilchard\, once thought extinct. Former Vietnamese boat person Lon Truong hopes to finance a triumphant return to the Mekong Delta by trawling BC shrimp. The Assu brothers of Campbell River still seine chum salmon in the same Johnstone Strait tide rip their father used to fish\, as did many generations of Assu ancestors before them\, but they have to work fast to get their work done in the near-impossible 12-hour time limit set by the DFO. In Haig-Brown’s story of the west coast fishery\, boats get equal time with people and fish. He laments the destruction of some historic old seiners\, just as he relishes the preservation of an old Finn Slough gillnetter named the Eva and approves the activities of fishboat superfan Randy Reifel\, who uses his considerable wealth to buy up endangered boats and keep them in working order. Is the whole fishing industry now on life support? It seems to be headed that way\, but this book offers many practical and persuasive reasons why it doesn’t have to be.” \nPomegranate Books will have copies of Still Fishin’ available for purchase\, and CFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount. Thanks to everyone who participated in any of our discussions via Zoom during this pandemic! This next meeting will be in-person and socially distanced with chairs 6ft apart outside of Pomegranate Books! (Please bring your own outdoor chair.) Book club was created and is facilitated by CFRW Board Member Chantay Allen.

SUMMARY:October/November Book Club
DESCRIPTION:October/November CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nNovember 28 @ 10:30am\nJoin us for our October/November 2020 CFRW Book Club Meeting! The War on the EPA: America’s Endangered Environmental Protections by William M. Alley and Rosemarie Alley is our book selection for October/November 2020. The War on the EPA presents current issues concerning PFAS “forever chemicals”  and the EPA’s role in the quality of our drinking water. This book is guaranteed to be a page-turner… \n\n“The War on the EPA examines the daunting hurdles facing the EPA in its critical roles in drinking water\, air and water pollution\, climate change\, and toxic chemicals. This book takes the reader on a journey into some of today’s most pressing environmental problems: toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS\, pervasive agricultural pollution\, dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico\, and widespread air and water pollution from use of fossil fuels. Delving into the science\, politics\, and human dimension of these and other problems\, the book illustrates the challenges of regulation\, how today’s war on science is undermining the scientific foundation upon which the agency’s legitimacy rests\, and why a strong U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is more important than ever before.” \nPomegranate Books will have copies of The War on the EPA available for purchase soon\, and CFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount. Thanks to everyone who participated in any of our discussions via Zoom during this pandemic! North Carolina has entered Phase 3 of COVID-19 restrictions and our next meeting will be in-person and socially distanced with chairs 6ft apart outside of Pomegranate Books! Book club was created and is facilitated by CFRW Board Member Chantay Allen. \n

SUMMARY:August/September CFRW Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:August/September CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nSeptember 26 @ 10:30am\n\nJoin us for our August/September 2020 CFRW Book Club Meeting! Storm water fills our creeks and rivers that are often polluted with pesticides\, so this is the perfect time for our this month’s selection\, Pesticides and Pollution by Dr. Mellanby. We’ll have a discussion via Zoom on Saturday\, September 26\, 2020 at 10:30AM. Join us here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9617005052 \n“In Pesticides and Pollution\, Dr. Mellanby examines the problems of pollution of air\, land\, river\, and the sea\, by herbicides\, pesticides\, sewage\, industrial effluents\, gases\, radiation\, leakages\, over-drainage\, mistakes and mismanagement\, in Britain to-day. He sets out to placate neither farmers nor naturalists\, but to explain in each case what is happening\, to point to both dangers and practical necessities\, and to discuss what steps should be taken.” \nDr. Mellanby was the Director of the Nature Conservancy’s Monk Wood Experimental Station and was the head of the Entomology department at Rothamsted in the UK. Rothamsted Research\, known as Rothamsted Experimental Station and then the Institute of Arable Crops Research is one of the oldest agricultural research institutions in the world. For many years\, Dr. Mellanby did medical entomology research in Britain and the tropics. He also started the journal Environmental Pollution in 1970 which led to the honorable  ” Mellanby Review Award”  that is biennially awarded to distinguished scientists. \nCopies of Pesticides and Pollution by Kenneth Mellanby are “out of print” and will not be available to purchase at Pomegranate Books. You can purchase the e-book version from Barnes & Noble\, Kobo or Amazon\, or purchase a used copy online.

SUMMARY:June/July CFRW Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:June/July CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nJuly 25 @ 10:30am\n\nJoin us for our June/July 2020 CFRW Book Club Meeting! This month’s selection is Rivers of Power: How A Natural Force Raised Kingdoms\, Destroyed Civilizations\, and Shapes Our World by Laurence C. Smith. We’ll have a discussion via Zoom on Saturday\, July 25\, 2020 at 10:30AM. \nIf you have not started the book yet\, consider the ways our Cape Fear River affects your life and community before you begin reading this book. Then reflect even more about its significance afterward. \nThank you to Pomegranate Books for offering a 15% discount to CRFW Book Club members and for providing our usual meeting space! (We look forward to meeting there again soon when it is safe!) Pomegranate Books and their in-store coffee house Zola Coffee & Tea are open for business with restricted hours and folks can order books for pick-up as well! \n \nRivers of Power: How A Natural Force Raised Kingdoms\, Destroyed Civilizations\, and Shapes Our World by Laurence C. Smith\n \n \n“Rivers\, more than any road\, technology\, or political leader\, have shaped the course of human civilization. They have opened frontiers\, founded cities\, settled borders\, and fed billions. They promote life\, forge peace\, grant power\, and can capriciously destroy everything in their path. Even today\, rivers remain a powerful global force — one that is more critical than ever to our future. In Rivers of Power\, geographer Laurence C. Smith explores the timeless yet underappreciated relationship between rivers and civilization as we know it. Rivers are of course important in many practical ways (water supply\, transportation\, sanitation\, etc). But the full breadth of their influence on the way we live is less obvious. Rivers define and transcend international borders\, forcing cooperation between nations. Huge volumes of river water are used to produce energy\, raw commodities\, and food. Wars\, politics\, and demography are transformed by their devastating floods. The territorial claims of nations\, their cultural and economic ties to each other\, and the migrations and histories of their peoples trace back to rivers\, river valleys\, and the topographic divides they carve upon the world. And as climate change\, technology\, and cities transform our relationship with nature\, new opportunities are arising to protect the waters that sustain us. Beautifully told and expansive in scope\, Rivers of Power reveals how and why rivers have so profoundly influenced our civilization and examines the importance this vast\, arterial power holds for the future of humanity.”

SUMMARY:Exposure by Robert Bilott
DESCRIPTION:Our next book for December/January 2020 is  Exposure by Robert Bilott\, the attorney who uncovered DuPont’s environmental contamination. This book is currently available at Pomegranate Books where you receive a 15% discount.\n\n\nExposure by Robert Bilott\n \n“In 1998\, Rob Bilott began a legal battle against DuPont that would consume the next twenty years of his life\, uncovering the worst case of environmental contamination in modern history and a corporate cover-up that put the health of hundreds of thousands of people at risk. Representing a single farmer who was convinced the creek on his property had been poisoned by runoff from a nearby DuPont landfill\, Rob ultimately discovers the truth about PFAS- unregulated\, toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing of Teflon and a host of other household goods. DuPont’s own scientists had issued internal warnings for years about the harmful effects of PFAS on human health\, but the company continued to allow these chemicals to leach into public drinking water until Rob forced them to face the consequences. \n \nExposure is an unforgettable legal drama about malice and manipulation\, the failings of environmental regulation\, and one lawyer’s quest to expose the truth about this previously unknown – and still unregulated-chemical that presents one of the greatest human health crises of the 21st century.”\n\n \n\nCFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount at Pomegranate Books! \n \nOur next meeting is Saturday\, January 25\, 2019…10:30AM at Pomegranate Books (910) 452-1107
