But by performing the essential historical task of separating what happened from what did not, and by distinguishing in this way the choices which have been made from those which have yet to be decided, it is my hope that this effort will help to establish that common basis for understanding which is essential for the debate over specific issues to proceed most effectively. This book, then, is scarcely the last word on the Owens Valley conflict: the final chapter, after all, has yet to be written. The story that has emerged here is at once very different and more troubling than the conventional treatments of the conflict as a simplistic political morality play. Any attempt to deal with so controversial a subject, however, is almost certain to spark controversy itself. For that reason, with the exception of a small collection of private letters, this work is constructed entirely from the published documents and other materials available to the general public, anchoring the narrative in sources the reader can consult to trace the line of my argument on any point with which he or she may disagree. In addition, the work as a whole has been reviewed for technical accuracy by officials of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, although the department is in no way responsible for the content of this study or the conclusions drawn from it.Water-supplyCaliforniaLos AngelesWater-supplyCaliforniaOwens Valleyamerican west.california.chinatown.city planning.conservation.drought.dust control.ecology.environment.environmental history.environmental justice.environmental questions.environmentalism.fred eaton.government.groundwater.jp lipincott.los angeles.natural resources.nature.nonfiction.owens valley.politics.railroad barons.san fernando valley.urban environment.urbanism.water history.water policy.water resources.water scarcity.water supply.water wars.water.william mulholland.Water-supplyWater-supply333.91/009794/9Kahrl William L.1946-684321MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777948103321Water and power1264580UNINA02088oam 2200565zu 450 991100678360332120210807003808.01-61583-667-5(CKB)2430000000037497(SSID)ssj0000530959(PQKBManifestationID)12150356(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000530959(PQKBWorkID)10571291(PQKB)10525019(EXLCZ)99243000000003749720160829d2008 uy engtxtccrStrength of ships and ocean structures[Place of publication not identified]Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers2008Principles of naval architecture series (Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (U.S.) Strength of ships and ocean structuresBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-939773-66-X Introduction -- Ship structural loads -- Analysis of hull girder stress and deflection -- Load carrying capability and structural perfomance criteria -- Reliability and structural safety assessment -- Miscellaneous topics.Naval architectureShipbuildingStrength of materialsStructural analysis (Engineering)Military & Naval ScienceHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCNaval ArchitectureHILCCNaval architecture.Shipbuilding.Strength of materials.Structural analysis (Engineering)Military & Naval ScienceLaw, Politics & GovernmentNaval Architecture623.8/1Mansour A.
