Books with author C.L Martin Jr

This book is dedicated to all of the teachers and parents who’ve ever lost hope in reaching out to a teenager who “just refuses to listen.”I’ve been there before, and I understand your frustration. I’ve also been on the other side of refusing to listen to advice, reason, and just plain old common sense.This book is not only a guide for those who love so much that it hurts, it’s also a light at the end of the tunnel to let you know that all hope is not gone. Sometimes success is not in the results of the crops we produce, but in the seeds we plant. This little book contains seeds to add to your hope chest. May God richly bless you.

The unreliability of the San Diego River compelled the Franciscan fathers to construct the area's first dam in 1813 to conserve drinking and irrigation water for the Mission San Diego de Alcal." This water-driven circumstance continued and expanded in the ensuing American era. Lacking a reliable water source at the turn of the 20th century, San Diego County was destined to experience modest growth. The region's semiarid conditions, cyclical droughts, and existing river systems determined that the only effective way to maintain a ready water supply was to conserve runoff and river floodwaters behind dam-created reservoirs. Between 1888 and 1934, private and municipal interests constructed a series of massive structures that made San Diego County the dam-building center of the world. The county featured some of America's first multiple arch dams and earliest hydraulic fill dams. Into the mid-1940s, dammed reservoirs remained the principle water source for county consumers and made the municipal expansion of the city of San Diego possible.
