Book Description
Five hundred years ago an Italian whose name, translated into English, meant Christopher Dove, came to America and began a process not of discovery, but incursion -- "a ruthless, angry search for wealth" that continues to the present day. This provocative and superbly written book gives a true assessment of Columbus's legacy while taking the first steps toward its redemption. Even as he draws a direct line between the atrocities of Spanish conquistadors and the ongoing pillage of our lands and waters, Barry Lopez challenges us to adopt an ethic that will make further depredations impossible. The Rediscovery of North America is a ringingly persuasive call for us, at long last, to make this country our home.

Book Description
The clock is relentlessly ticking! Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Ultimately his message is clear; we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. Offering over 100 priorities for immediate action, The 2030 Spike serves as a guidebook for humanity through the treacherous minefields and wastelands ahead to a bright, peaceful and prosperous future in which all humans have the opportunity to thrive and build a better civilization. This book is powerful and essential reading for all people concerned with the future of humanity and planet earth.

Book Description
"The WyCal Supplement to the Mojave-Kern River-El Dorado Natural Gas Pipeline Final Environmental Impact Report/Statement (FEIR/S) is a joint document prepared by the California State Lands Commission (SLC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to fulfill the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). These two agencies in coordination with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the USDA Forest Service (FS), and other federal agencies have directed the preparation of this joint federal and state document. This proposed pipeline project, like the Mojave Pipeline Company (Mojave) and Kern River Gas Transmission Company (Kern River) projects discussed in the FEIR/S, would transport natural gas from various sources outside of California to the Bakersfield, California, area for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and related cogeneration projects. ... The proposed Wyoming-California Pipeline Company (WyCal) pipeline would extend from Lincoln County in southwestern Wyoming across Utah and southern Nevada to a juncture point in San Bernardino County in California, where it would intersect with another portion of the proposed route which would extend from western Mohave County in Arizona across San Bernardino County and into Kern County, California. They WyCal route in fact represents a combination of the Kern River proposed pipeline route from Wyoming and extending into southern Nevada, the East Las Vegas System Alternative, and the Mojave proposed pipeline route across southern California"--Page s-1
