Hydrofracking : what everyone needs to know / by Prud'homme, Alex.(CARDINAL)349029;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 137-174) and index.There may be no more decisive environmental issue in America today than hydrofracking, or 'fracking' as it is commonly called, referring to the use of highly pressurized water and chemicals to extract gas trapped in subterranean shale formations. Opponents decry its pollution of water, ground, and air, and lament the lack of oversight in the industry. Proponents argue that it has created jobs, spurred industry, lowered carbon emissions, and provided an economic boon to many communities across the country, including some of the poorest. The fight is highly polarized, with 'fracktivists' pressuring Washington to put restrictions in place and advocates touting energy independence and the environmental benefits of replacing coal with natural gas. In this book the author explains the basics of hydraulic fracking, considers the economic and political benefits, and explores concerns about health dangers and damage to the environment. Stepping back from the impasioned debate, he offers an introduction to one of the country's most contentious issues.

Le premier homme / by Camus, Albert,1913-1960,author.(CARDINAL)142419; Camus, Catherine,editor.(CARDINAL)860766;
Bibliography of the author's works.Editor: Catherine Camus."En somme, je vais parler de ceux que j'aimais", écrit Albert Camus dans une note pour Le premier homme. Le projet de ce roman auquel il travaillait au moment de sa mort était ambitieux. Il avait dit un jour que les écrivains "gardent l'espoir de retrouver les secrets d'un art universel qui, à force d'humilité et de maîtrise, ressusciterait enfin les personnages dans leur chair et dans leur durée". Il avait jeté les bases de ce qui serait le récit de l'enfance de son "premier homme". Cette rédaction initiale a un caractère autobiographique qui aurait sûrement disparu dans la version définitive du roman. Mais c'est justement ce côté autobiographique qui est précieux aujourd'hui. Après avoir lu ces pages, on voit apparaître les racines de ce qui fera la personnalité de Camus, sa sensibilité, la genèse de sa pensée, les raisons de son engagement. Pourquoi, toute sa vie, il aura voulu parler au nom de ceux à qui la parole est refusée. -- Publisher description.
