- Sun house / by Duncan, David James,author.(CARDINAL)280420;
Includes bibliographical references."A random bolt from a DC-8 falls from the sky, killing a child and throwing the faith of a young Jesuit into crisis. A boy's mother dies on his fifth birthday, sparking a lifetime of repressed anger that he unleashes once a year in reckless duels with the Fate, God, or Power who let the coincidence happen. A young woman on a run in Seattle experiences a shooting star moment that pierces her with a love that will eventually help heal the Jesuit, the angry young man, and innumerable others. The journeys of this unintentional menagerie carry them to the healing lands of Montana and a newly founded community--where nothing tastes better than Maker's Mark mixed with glacier ice, and nothing seems less likely than the soul-filling delight a troupe of spiritual refugees, urban sophisticates, road-weary musicians, and local cowboys begin to find in each other's company."--

- Cracked : the future of dams in a hot, chaotic world / by Hawley, Steven,1969-author.(CARDINAL)865667; Duncan, David James,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)280420;
What we talk about when we talk about dams -- What's missing here: the Snake River dams -- Getting the garden back -- The future of the Colorado: a reckoning -- Safety first -- Patience and perseverance -- The return of the Elwha -- Dam removal 101 -- Patagonia sin represas -- The blue heart of Europe -- Drain Powell first -- What spirits might wear in 2050."Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Crazy World is a kind of speed date with the history of water control--its dams, diversions and canals, and just as importantly, the politics and power that evolved with them. Examples from the American West reveal that the costs of building and maintaining a sprawling water storage and delivery complex in an arid world--growing increasingly arid under the ravages of climate chaos--is well beyond the benefits furnished. Success stories from Patagonia and the Blue Heart of Europe point to a possible future where rivers run free and the earth restores itself"--

- One long river of song : notes on wonder / by Doyle, Brian,1956 November 6-2017 May 27,author.(CARDINAL)341530; Duncan, David James,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)280420;
"When Brian Doyle passed away at the age of sixty after a bout with brain cancer, he left behind a cult-like following of devoted readers who regard his writing as one of the best-kept secrets of the twenty-first century. Doyle writes with a delightful sense of wonder about the sanctity of everyday things, and about love and connection in all their forms: spiritual love, brotherly love, romantic love, and even the love of a nine-foot sturgeon. At a moment when the world can sometimes feel darker than ever, Doyle's writing, which constantly evokes the humor and even bliss that life affords, is a balm. His essays manage to find, again and again, exquisite beauty in the quotidian, whether it's the awe of a child the first time she hears a river, or a husband's whiskers that a grieving widow misses seeing in her sink every morning. David James Duncan sums up Doyle's sensibilities best in his introduction to the collection: "Brian Doyle lived the pleasure of bearing daily witness to quiet glories hidden in people, places and creatures of little or no size, renown, or commercial value, and he brought inimitably playful or soaring or aching or heartfelt language to his tellings." A life's work, One Long River of Song invites readers to experience joy and wonder in ordinary moments that become, under Doyle's rapturous and exuberant gaze, extraordinary."--Jacket flap.
