Paperback. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. Amazing condition! Crisp white paperbound 1st edition 116 pg interview. Appears unread, with light even surface soil from storage, clean and unmarked inside. At a time when serious questions are being raised about the manner in which the nation utilizes its water resources, it is important to gain the insights of past leaders in the field of water resources development. This volume is the first in a new publication series, Water Resources: People and Issues, that will include interviews with individuals both inside and outside the Corps of Engineers. William R. Gianelli's tenure as Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) was an important period in which the Corps of Engineers was challenged to rethink many of its policies and procedures. As a result of Mr. Gianelli's actions, our organization responds more quickly to public needs in carrying out its regulatory responsibilities. I recommend this interview to thoughtful officers and civilian members of the Engineer family.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Louisiana Atchafalaya River Basin is one of the most dynamic and critical environments in the country. The river's immense floodway is the ancestral home of the American Cajun population; it sustains the nation's last cypress-tupelo wetland and provides habitat for many species of animals. Perhaps most crucial, it remains a primary component of the plan to control the Mississippi River and relieve flooding in communities in the lower river valley. The continuing health of the basin is a reflection not of nature, but of the work of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. With levee building and clearing in the nineteenth century and damming, dredging, and floodway construction in the twentieth, the basin was converted from a vast forested swamp into a designer wetland, where human aspirations and nature needs maintained a precarious equilibrium. Originally published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this history of the Atchafalaya Basin was hailed as a balanced yet unflinching account of the transformation of an area that has endured perhaps more human manipulation than any other natural environment in the nation.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The view of nature and technology inhabiting totally different, even opposite, spheres persists across time and cultures. Most people would consider an English countryside or a Louisiana bayou to be "natural," though each is to an extent the product of technology. Pollution, widely thought to be a purely man-made phenomenon, results partly from natural processes. All around us, things from the natural world are brought into the human world. At what point do we consider them part of culture rather than nature? And does such a distinction illuminate our world or obscure its workings? This compelling new book challenges the view that a clear and unwavering boundary exists between nature and technology. Rejecting this dichotomy, the contributors show how the history of each can be united in a constantly shifting panorama where definitions of "nature" and "technology" alter and overlap. In addition to recognizing the artificial divide between these two concepts, the essays in this book demonstrate how such thinking may affect societies' ability to survive and prosper. The answers and ideas are as numerous as the landscapes they consider, for there is no single path toward a more harmonious vision of technology and nature. Technologies that work in one place may not in another. Nature that is preserved in one community might become the raw material of technological progress somewhere else. Add to this the fact that the natural world and technology are not passive players, but are profoundly involved in cultural construction. Understanding such dynamics not only reveals a new historical complexity; it prepares us for coping with many of the most difficult and pressing social issues facing us today.ContributorsPeter Coates * Craig E.
