Every person on the planet is entangled in a web of ecological relationships that link farms and factories with human consumers. Our lives depend on these relationships -- and are imperiled by them as well. Nowhere is this truer than on the Japanese archipelago. During the nineteenth century, Japan saw the rise of Homo sapiens industrialis, a new breed of human transformed by an engineered, industrialized, and poisonous environment. Toxins moved freely from mines, factory sites, and rice paddies into human bodies. Toxic Archipelago explores how toxic pollution works its way into porous human bodies and brings unimaginable pain to some of them. Brett Walker examines startling case studies of industrial toxins that know no boundaries: deaths from insecticide contaminations; poisonings from copper, zinc, and lead mining; congenital deformities from methylmercury factory effluents; and lung diseases from sulfur dioxide and asbestos. This powerful, probing book demonstrates how the Japanese archipelago has become industrialized over the last two hundred years -- and how people and the environment have suffered as a consequence.

A storyteller like his father and immigrant grandmother, this ninety-three-year-old retired North Dakota farmer has put pen to paper to preserve a lifetime of memories from the Great Depression to today. Insatiably curious and always driven to make the most of his life, Jim has been a progressive farmer and steward of the land, a community builder, and a gentleman. As he enters the last chapter of his life, Jim's book is a guide for embracing life, appreciating the past, and reflecting on what is to come.

Thomas Mackintosh Storey was born in Argentina in the year 1900. His father had emigrated there from New Zealand. For 17 years he lived on the Argentine pampas, riding, hunting, playing polo and enjoying life to the full. Eventually he had to journey to England to finish his schooling, when he began the second part of his life as a British Army Officer. He threw himself into his army career which took him to Bermuda, Jamaica, Malta, Africa and India where he met his wife, Edna. His career was sadly cut short after 34 years by the TB he contracted in India. He died at 85, a quiet, retiring person, his sword rusting in the basement and occasionally making 'mate' a kind of tea made in a special pot from Argentina.
