 | Water and Fire: The Myth of the Flood in Anglo-Saxon England - Daniel , Anlezark 10 Digit ISBN: 0719063981 13 Digit ISBN: 9780719063985 | | Noah's Flood is one of the Bible's most popular stories, and flood myths survive in many cultures today. This book presents the first comprehensive examination of the incorporation of the Flood myth into the Anglo-Saxon imagination. Focusing on literary representations, it contributes to our understanding of how Christian Anglo-Saxons perceived their place in the cosmos. For them, history unfolded between the primeval Deluge and a future - perhaps imminent - flood of fire, which would destroy the world. This study reveals both an imaginative diversity and shared interpretations of the Flood myth. Anglo-Saxons saw the Flood as a climactic event in God's ongoing war with his more rebellious creatures, but they also perceived the mystery of redemption through baptism. |
 | Water and Liberalisation - J., Allouche 10 Digit ISBN: 1843391139 13 Digit ISBN: 9781843391135 | | In most network industries, new dynamics are leading to an unprecedented opening up to competition and private sector participation. With the development of a single European market, the in-stages liberalisation process of public utilities has spread to almost all sectors. However, the water supply and sanitation (WSS) sector is considered somehow different and it has been excluded until recently from the restructuring processes achieved in other sectors. Water and Liberalisation: European Water Scenarios presents a better understanding of the specific demands of the WSS sector. Covering the operators' strategies, the regulatory dynamics as well as their interactions on the evolution of the sector, it addresses the likelihood, the nature, and the forms the WSS sector may take in Europe in the foreseeable future. Adopting a neutral political stance, the book analyses the implications of alternative scenarios in economic, ecological, social, legal, and institutional terms. Key Sections include: 1. In depth introduction to the current situation in the WSS sector. 2. The European Water Supply and Sanitation Markets; The Institutional Framework of the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector in the EU: a Comparative Analysis; Analysis of the EU Explicit and Implicit Policies and Approaches in the Sector; Analysis of the Strategies of the Water Operators in Europe 3. Scenarios on the Evolution of the Water Sector in Europe 4. Economic, Environmental, & Social Implications of the Scenarios; Major implications per scenario. |
 | Water and Solute Permeability of Plant Cuticles: Measurement and Data Analysis - Lukas , Schreiber 10 Digit ISBN: 3540689443 13 Digit ISBN: 9783540689447 | | The study of permeability of plant cuticles is of gaining interest since transport processes play a crucial role in plant ecology, plant stress tolerance, plant growth regulation, plant protection, phytopathology and the accumulation of xenobiotics in plants. Penetration of neutral and ionic solutes can be modeled and predicted, provided suitable experiments based on sound theories are conducted using whole leaves, leaf disks or isolated cuticles. These measurements allow estimating water loss from plants, including transgenic plants with an altered cuticle and wax composition. Based on representative examples, the authors describe the basics of sorption, diffusion and permeability characteristics of cuticles. They present suitable experimental approaches, including data analysis, hints to erroneous interpretations and calculations to point out the physiological and ecological consequences. |

 | Water Behavior in Hydrophobic Porous Materials - Matthieu , Fleys 10 Digit ISBN: 3639091426 13 Digit ISBN: 9783639091427 | | The behavior of water in silicalite and dealuminated zeolite Y (DAY), two highly hydrophobic zeolites, was investigated at different temperatures in the range 100-600 K by molecular dynamics simulations using the Compass forcefield. The full flexibility of water molecules and the zeolite framework was considered. The results show that the behavior of water is more complex in silicalite than in DAY. Three different activation energies for water diffusion were obtained in silicalite in the range 250-600 K compared to two for DAY. The values of these activation energies are discussed in detail and are related to the strength of hydrogen bonds and the zeolite structure. From the radial distribution functions (RDFs), it is shown that water mostly exists in the gas phase at room temperature in silicalite, whereas liquid-like water is observed in DAY. The self-diffusion coefficients of water and the RDFs were obtained as functions of temperature in order to explain the different behaviors of water in the two all-silica zeolites. The influence of loading on the self-diffusion coefficients also was investigated for both crystals. |

 | Water Demand Management - D., Butler 10 Digit ISBN: 1843390787 13 Digit ISBN: 9781843390787 | | A common characteristic of water demand in urban areas worldwide is its inexorable rise over many years, and projections of continuing growth over coming decades. The chief influencing factors are population growth and migration, together with changes in lifestyle, demographic structure and the possible effects of climate change. The detailed implications of climate change are not yet clear, and anyway will depend on global location, but must at least increase the uncertainty in security of supply. This is compounded by rapid development, creeping urbanization and, in some places, rising standards of living. Meeting this increasing demand from existing resources is self-evidently an uphill struggle, particularly in water stressed/scarce regions, in the developed and developing world alike. There are typically two potential responses; either 'supply-side' (meeting demand with new resources) or 'demand-side' (managing consumptive demand itself to postpone or avoid the need to develop new resources). There is considerable pressure from the general public, regulatory agencies, and some governments to minimise the impacts of new supply projects (e.g. building new reservoirs or inter-regional transfer schemes), implying the emphasis should be shifted towards managing water demand by best utilising the water that is already available. Water Demand Management has been produced by the academic/government/industry network WATERSAVE. The concept of the book was to assemble a comprehensive picture of demand management topics ranging from technical to social and legal aspects, through expert critical literature reviews on the subject. The depth and breadth of coverage is a unique contribution to thefield and the book will be an invaluable information source for practitioners and researchers, including water utility engineers/planners, environmental regulators, equipment and service providers, and postgraduates. |

 | Water Dogs - Lewis , Robinson 10 Digit ISBN: 1400062179 13 Digit ISBN: 9781400062171 | | Lewis Robinson's critically acclaimed story collection Officer Friendly was described by the "San Francisco Chronicle" as "eleven letter-perfect stories with the keen understanding of human nature readers expect to find in works by veterans like Alice Munro." Now Robinson has written "Water Dogs," a suspenseful, disquieting, and compulsively readable first novel that takes an unforgettable look at the delicate patchwork of a family. Bennie knows that the details of his life don't show well. A twenty-seven-year-old college dropout with stalled ambitions, he works at an animal shelter and lives with his bullheaded older brother, Littlefield, in their old family home on Meadow Island, Maine, a house that has fallen into disrepair since their father's untimely death several years earlier. When a massive blizzard hits the state one Saturday afternoon, Bennie, Littlefield, and a crew of roughneck war-game enthusiasts decide to play paintball at the local granite quarry. Bennie accidentally falls into a gully, landing in the hospital, and wonders if his life can get any worse. But when one of the players disappears during the storm and Littlefield becomes the main suspect in the disappearance, Bennie realizes that the game might have had much higher stakes. Then Littlefield takes off without a word of explanation, forcing Bennie to seriously question his loyalty to his enigmatic brother. With the guidance of his intrepid girlfriend, Helen, and his twin sister, Gwen, Bennie goes looking for answers, embarking on a journey that brings him closer to a truth he may not want to discover. What he finds will change his family and his life forever. Written in prose as arresting and spareas the novel's rural Maine setting, Lewis Robinson's "Water Dogs" is a marvel of modern fiction, a book rich in empathy that follows one man's path through the uncertainties of youth and loss toward self-discovery. |
 | Water Dreams - Jeanne , McDonald 10 Digit ISBN: 1578065488 13 Digit ISBN: 9781578065486 | | Fiction --> Fishing alone on a Tennessee lake, Miller Sharp sees a young man dive into the water and not come up. Two tense minutes pass. Then Miller dives in to rescue him. Beware: A drowning victim will likely sink a would-be savior. All first responders and lifeguards have heard this warning. Underwater, he finds himself in a life-and-death struggle to keep from drowning as Jimmy Duane Goodfriend, the diver and victim, begins to climb Miller's body in a desperate attempt to gain the surface. He pulls Miller further down. To free himself, Miller bites the drowning man's hand and rises to the air. Up above and breathing again, he waits a beat, convinces himself to take another plunge, then goes back down to find Jimmy Duane. But Jimmy Duane is lifeless. After dragging him to the dock, Miller must tell the victim's family that Jimmy Duane is dead. In the rest of its pages the novel becomes eerie, cinematic, and dark. Convinced that he has caused the death of the man he attempted to save, Miller spirals into a personal crisis so frightening that it threatens his hold on his marriage, family, job, and soul. In "Water Dreams," a first novel by Jeanne McDonald, this death by drowning is a thematic chord that resounds in the suffocating aftermath. Miller is haunted by the realities of the peril of lifesaving. In his growing obsession to protect the dead man's widow, he becomes her lover, and his comfortably white, upper-middle-class existence founders as he is immersed in Jimmy Duane's "redneck" culture and low-class lifestyle. Miller's fall and potential redemption form the crux of "Water Dreams," But it is McDonald's unstinting hard edge, her precisecharacterizations, and her potent atmospheric detail that set the novel apart. Jeanne McDonald is the co-author of "The Serpent Handlers: Three Families" and "Their Faith and Growing Up Southern: How the South Shapes Its Writers," Her work has appeared in "River City Review," "Poets & Writers Magazine," and the "Knoxville News-Sentinel," She lives in Knoxville, Tennessee. |
