Return to the Island: An utterly gripping historical romance ( Amherst Island Trilogy #3 ) Kate Hewitt. by Hewitt, Kate.(CARDINAL)425539;
What would her life look like without her beloved island in it? Where would she go? Ellen had come back here-to the place she felt she belonged-thinking she would stay here. But was it home... or just a place to hide?1918, Canada The First World War is over and those who have been fighting in Europe are heading for home, forever changed. Amongst the lost, the damaged and the broken, is former nurse Ellen Copley; who finds herself returning-not to her house in Glasgow, but to her childhood home on Amherst Island.There, she feels sure, in the warm embrace of the McCafferty family, with her beloved Aunt Rose and her cousins, she will feel safe and loved. She will be able to escape the ghosts of the past and her loss, and find peace.But the island is a changed place too. The war has affected life the world over, and Aunt Rose is struggling to keep their small farmstead going. The family's only hope is asking their neighbours, the Lymans, to help. But Jed Lyman is a broken man, both physically and emotionally, and his once-adoring brother Lucas is now more distant than ever.And as Ellen fights to save the farm, she has to ask: what makes somewhere a home? And-when help comes from an unexpected place-she wonders, has the man she's destined to love been waiting for her out there all along?

Cost-effective and sustainable road slope stabilization and erosion control / by Fay, Laura.(CARDINAL)310794; Akin, Michelle.(CARDINAL)310793; Shi, Xianming,1974-(CARDINAL)310792; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.(CARDINAL)138446; National Cooperative Highway Research Program.(CARDINAL)281856; National Research Council (U.S.).Transportation Research Board.(CARDINAL)141287;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 58-64)."In the United States it is estimated that 75 percent of all roads are low volume roads maintained by some 35,000 local agencies. Low volume roads often omit surface slope protection, and this can lead to slope failure, erosion, and maintenance, safety, and ecological issues. This report presents information on cost effective and sustainable road slope stabilization techniques, with a focus on shallow or near surface slope stabilization and related erosion control methods used on low volume roads. To fully address this topic, planning and site investigation are discussed, as well as erosion control techniques, soil bioengineering and biotechnical techniques, mechanical stabilization, and earthwork techniques. Information presented in this report was obtained through an extensive literature review, and from survey and interview responses. From the survey responses, 30 individuals were interviewed based on the information they made available in the survey. A total of 25 interviews were conducted over the phone, and in two cases written responses were received."--Preface.Research sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration
