A recent college graduate lands the perfect job: helping people and protecting the earth at an environmental consulting firm. But he soon learns that not everyone there shares his ideals...and his biggest challenge comes from a devious geoscientist whose greed for fossil fuels creates a water crisis that pits farmers and miners against each other.
A page-turner for readers ages eighteen and up, At Odds With Each Other asks: what happens when the love of power meets the zeal for stewardship? Author Ben Suhrie wrote this book mainly for the purpose of inspiring others to care for the earth, that someday we might be able to restore the balance of nature and achieve harmony between humanity and the natural world. Everyone has the right to clean groundwater, fresh air, and stable land, and to deny that right is to deny what it means to be human.
From the Back Cover
In this environmental tale, a young man with a heart for stewardship endures a showdown against an evil geologist bent on destroying nature.
Richard Armadale, a recent college graduate, begins working at an environmental consulting firm in southeastern Kentucky. He performs his assignments with great enthusiasm, determined to do whatever is best for people and the environment. However, he meets a very wicked man of high rank, a crooked scientist who plunders the earth for as much money as possible without regard to ecological consequences. At this villain's directive, an empire-like energy company upsets the balance of nature, creating a clash between farmers and coal miners. Richard finds himself caught in the midst of this conflict and bears responsibility for solving a looming water crisis. Ultimately, he must choose sides - miners or farmers - and defeat the plans of the mysterious menace before environmental degradation spells doom for the countryside.
