Political Waters: The Long Dirty, Contentious, Incredibly Expensive but Eventually Triumphant History of Boston Harbor, a Unique Environmental Success Story
Boston Harbor served as a colonial gateway to the world, witnessed the Boston Tea Party, and helped the community transform itself from an outpost of a few hardy settlers into a bustling metropolis and self-proclaimed hub of the universe. Yet for hundreds of years Boston Harbor was also a cesspool. Long before Bostonians dumped tea into the harbor to protest English taxes, they dumped sewage there. As the Boston area grew and prospered, its sewage problems worsened, as did the harbor's health, to the point where in the 1980s it was considered the most polluted harbor in the country and ridiculed as the harbor of shame. Then, in one of the most impressive environmental comebacks in American history, Boston Harbor was dramatically cleaned up. All it took was two lawsuits, two courts, dozens of lawyers, the creation of a powerful sewage authority, thousands of workers, millions of labor hours, and billions of dollars. Sewage management is rarely as compelling and exciting as higher profile environmental issues such as global climate change, preserving endangered species, or protecting tropical rainforests. But it can be, as Eric Jay Dolin shows in this engaging narrative account. Boston's struggle to deal with its sewage is an epic story of failure and success, replete with colorful characters, political, bureaucratic, and legal twists and turns, engineering feats, and massive amounts of money. In the end, success hinged on the often overlooked yet monumentally important act of responsibly disposing of the waste people produce every day..

We All Get it Right Eventually: On Getting Old and Growing Wise
This book is about how we (our souls) evolve over many lifetimes in order to become human beings who are both wise and whole. And its message is very positive and very clear. Sooner or later we will all find our way. We will all get it right eventually Along the way we learn that what is to be treasured most in Earthly life is its profound mystery. To penetrate the mystery we need to first realize how much of our lives have been spent absorbed in achieving goals that have nothing to do with our developing souls. Learning to trust our instincts, our emotions and our intuition heightens our awareness and helps us to perceive and understand the realities that lie beyond our ordinary senses just waiting to be discovered. Utilizing the perspectives of openness and awareness, the forces that truly direct our lives, such as authenticity, the evolving soul, karma, reincarnation, integrity, courage, essence and divine intervention are explored. The concept of soul age has particular relevance as a sensible and rational alternative to our traditional ways of trying to understand the underlying causes of violence in adults and children. Dr. Millstein treats the issues of old age with gentleness, humor and honesty. He is, after all, an old person who knows whereof he speaks. He presents research findings indicating that old age has no escape, and none is necessary. He uses the concept of gerotranscendance and his own experience to inform readers of all ages about the myths and the truths surrounding old age. Finally, this is a positive and uplifting book that shows how real optimism can arise from the search for spiritual truth. The more we know, the greater our chances of understanding and embracing our ultimate destiny. When we are able to awaken spiritually, we give our lives meaning and importance that is available to us in no other way. .
