"She thought about him often over the years. Looked him up online occasionally to see where he was and if he was all right. It wasn't until last fall that she found his email address, and several months more before she got up the courage to write."So begins the epistolary novel WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE by Connecticut writer Jen Payne, a sort-of love story told through a series of emails, about two people who reconnect after 15 years apart and work to reconcile their pasts...and futures. Influenced by the work of Bren Brown and a proponent of the bravery of storytelling, Payne says "WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE is about having the courage to speak our truths; it's about trust and vulnerability, and about the true blessings found when we open our hearts - come what may."

This book will help to sensitize scientifically oriented development workers to the ways that that cultural frameworks influence people's understandings and uses of new ideas and technologies. Focusing on WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) strategies, domestic supply issues, and people's ideas about water's qualities and powers, the authors introduce new ways to engage with the social and cultural context of a development project.

In the lower depths of a massive submarine, ship's zoologist Nerissa Crane takes an ultrasound of a heavily pregnant Asian elephant. The elephant conceived off-ship but, it transpires, was forced on board - along with Nerissa and a hastily assembled collection of humans and animals - by an apocalyptic environmental disaster that has flooded the earth. Nerissa is calm and solitary in her work and in navigating the trauma of her husband's presumed death in the floods; but when one of her animal charges escapes, she is reluctantly forced to enter the ship's thrown-together communal world where she uncovers a shocking conspiracy that causes her to question who and what she is. Water & Glass is a thrilling dystopian tale about human nature - and the animal world - under great pressure and in enclosed spaces.
