The Thing About Giants
Legend, fantasy and adventure combine in the BIGGEST debut of the year. A fast-paced tale of bravery and unlikely friendship for age 9-12.This beautifully imagined debut novel by Christopher Galvin… succeeds in exploring the pathos of the giant without veering into sentimentality… Galvin is a highly cinematic writer, and his vivid descriptions and cliffhanger chapters will appeal just as strongly to less confident readers. At heart, The Thing About Giants is a lyrical story of how friendship can transcend inherited hostility, and it recalls the enduring appeal of classics such as The Iron Man. Galvin doesn’t offer any neat resolutions – and Corman is likely to encounter plenty more human prejudice when he and Jacq return for a follow-up adventure next year.

Embodied Energy and Carbon Footprint of Household Latrines
Over seventy percent of the 2.5 billion people who still lack access to basic sanitation worldwide live in rural areas (WHO/UNICEF, 2012). Despite concerns of water scarcity, resource depletion, and climate change little research has been conducted on the environmental sustainability of household sanitation technologies common in rural areas of developing countries or the potential of resource recovery to mitigate the environmental impacts of these systems. The environmental sustainability, in terms of embodied energy and carbon footprint, was analyzed for four household sanitation systems: (1) ventilated improved pit latrine, (2) pour-flush latrine, (3) composting latrine, and (4) biodigester latrine. The goal of this study is to provide insight to policy makers in the development field to promote decision making based on environmental sustainability in the implementation of improved sanitation coverage in rural areas of developing countries.
