Second Book on Missouri River Ecosystem Shifts Focus from Damage to Recovery Options
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
A new book by River Ecosystems, Inc. and Rivers Corp, Inc. (a Nebraska public benefit corporation) examines the Missouri River ecosystem, this time turning from documenting harm to weighing paths toward recovery.
The new title, "Fish, Wildlife, and Water of the Missouri River Ecosystem," follows "8emessourit: The River of the Big Canoes, A Large, National, River Ecosystem in Peril," published in October 2025 through Palmetto Publishing and sold through most booksellers. Both books are available in paperback and hardcover.
The press release notes that the first book documented engineering alterations beginning in the early 1800s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and its effects on the river’s plants, invertebrates, fish, wildlife, hydrology and geomorphology, along with the people who use the river. The Missouri is the longest river in the United States, running through the central part of the country before joining the Mississippi, and has been the subject of federal engineering and flood-control efforts dating back to the 19th century.
The second book contends that ecosystem recovery has failed to date The announcement attributes that failure to mismanagement of the Missouri River Recovery Program and the Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee, along with what the authors describe as shortcomings in how the Endangered Species Act has been applied to the river’s threatened and endangered species. The book sets out options the authors say could begin to reverse that record.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether the specific recovery options this book proposes gain any traction with the agencies it criticizes, since a two-book argument aimed squarely at federal river management is the kind of claim that invites a response.

Pat Papasergia, a Bakersfield City Fire Department veteran of twenty-nine years, has published "Company Officer," a book aimed at firefighters moving into their first leadership role, according to the announcement from Page Publishing.
The book tracks a company officer’s first year on the job, starting with the first shift and working through the duties that follow: emergency response, strike team assignments, report writing, inspections, discipline, evaluations and training, according to the publisher’s description. Papasergia frames it as a mix of practical instruction and reflection on what the job asks of the people who do it, including the emotional toll of difficult calls.
Papasergia’s career began as a seasonal wildland firefighter and continued through the Kern County Fire Department and the U.S. Forest Service before he reached a leadership post at Bakersfield City, per the announcement. He holds an Associate’s degree along with a Company Officer Certificate and Chief Officer Certificate, and the announcement notes his work on specialized teams and ongoing professional development over the course of his career.
"Through this book, I aim to share the expertise accumulated over my thirty years serving the fire service, providing aspiring company officers with the guidance and tools they need to excel in this rewarding but demanding role," Papasergia said in the announcement.
The book enters a small but established shelf of company officer guides built around fire service leadership standards, including titles used to prepare candidates for NFPA Fire Officer certification. Papasergia’s contribution is narrower in scope than those textbooks, built instead around one department and one career’s worth of firsthand calls and decisions.
"Company Officer" can be purchased at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of practitioner-written guides feeding a fire service that increasingly values firsthand accounts alongside formal training manuals.

New Memoir From Kim Vaughn Peacock Traces a Spiritual Awakening After Move From California to Texas
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Kim Vaughn Peacock has released "From Bondage to Freedom: A spiritual journey of being rescued, redeemed, and restored by our Heavenly Father who works many miracles and can be called upon by utilizing many names through the one true Savior, Jesus, the Son who was sent for all mankind to be truly free," published through Page Publishing.
The book is a personal testimony built around a relocation the author made from California to Texas, a move she describes as the catalyst for a broader spiritual awakening. Peacock, a devoted mother and devoted seeker of truth,, uses her own experience as the throughline for a work about faith, identity, and what she describes as authentic freedom found through relationship with Jesus Christ.
According to the announcement, the book addresses what it frames as a common human struggle: the desire for belonging and authenticity apart from the expectations and judgments of other people. Throughout its pages, Peacock shares pivotal moments revealing how relationship with Jesus transcends religious doctrine to become a deeply transformative personal reality.
"I felt called to share my testimony and spiritual lessons so others would recognize their own purpose and potential," Peacock said in the announcement. "My journey taught me that when we silence the noise and look within, we unlock the guidance we need to experience genuine peace and freedom; a freedom that is available to anyone willing to do the spiritual work."
The publisher describes the book as intended to prompt readers to examine their own lives and relationships, including their relationship with faith. "From Bondage to Freedom" is available through Page Publishing’s website, in bookstores, and through major online retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple iTunes, and Google Play.
Studio CarryOnHarry covers a steady stream of faith-based memoirs like this one, and what stands out here is how specifically geographic the author’s account is — the California-to-Texas move as the hinge point of a spiritual narrative is a more concrete detail than most testimonies of this kind offer upfront.
