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
