John Waters Books

"As a poet who teaches philosophy, John Koethe knows better than most of us the uses and dissatisfactions of both disciplines, if indeed they are disciplines. In this ravishing and haunted book he comes face to face with the time when 'more than half my life is gone,' and must try to find the meaning of 'a childish/dream of love, and the loss of love,/and all the intricate years between.' As funny and fresh as it is tragic and undeceived, FALLING WATER ranks with Wallace Stevens's AURORAS OF AUTUMN as one of the profoundest meditations on existence ever formulated by an American poet." --John Ashbery

This is a work of elegaic power, surely to set the standard for years to come. Demas pulls no punches, and with typical thoroughness walks the reader step-by-step through techniques of decision modeling. Whether you are a large municipality or a small off-the-grid system, this book will prove helpful, and is well worth the purchase price. My highest compliments!

A great follow-up to the first Trout & Beyond, with more esoteric adventures of Jim & friends in the real world hunting real fish most of us wouldn't fish for in the first place. Buy them both!

This is a well written book, very informative and interesting. The author obviously cares about the City of Waukesha and it's history. It's quite a different town today, of course....but the author does a great job taking you back to a time where springs were abundant!

John Schoenknecht is an award winning local historian--you won't be disappointed with this book.

This is a great text full of useful information on over 400 chemicals. The text offers information on melting point, density, Henry's law constant, soil sorption coefficient, octanol/water partition coefficient, solubility in organics and water, vapor density and pressure. The text includes a section on each chemical discussing environmental fate, toxicity, drinking water standard and use of each chemical. I've found this book very helpful over the last 10 years.

This is a marvelous, easy to read book written by one of the pioneers in biological sewage treatment system Design. It is replete with examples of implemented projects and charts that prove their effectiveness. Dr. Wolverton explains constructed wetlands systems design and management fully. You will not be disappointed with this book.

If everyone would read just the first 10 pages of this book you would change your everyday habits of purchasing food, growing food and supporting the organic farmers in everyway possible. VERY educational!!! Love this book

If you are a public water supply manager for a municipality; the owner or operator of a water testing facility; a college professor of science; field researcher with undergrad or advanced degrees in biology, chemistry, environmental science, ecology, hydrology or other related field - and wish to dive to deeper depths in your professional water research - then I highly recommend this book.

The book has some real valuable information about the various visas and how to go about obtaining one. It also covers cases where one needs to switch visa status. The topics are well divided into chapters and the book is written clearly with great case studies. (It is also available in Hebrew).

I believe this book is one of the best reading materials for anyone who wishes to legally stay in the USA, for whichever purpose. It is highly recommended, even if you have an attorney or about to get one.

If there's even an ounce of salt water in your blood, Jourdanes inside look at the grueling Whitbread Round the World Race will make your heart beat faster and your spine tingle. I started reading the book one evening, and found that I couldn't put it down until I finished it in the wee hours of the morning. Chris Caswell Senior Editor, Yachting Magazine
