Excerpt from Tom Thornton, or Last Resources, Vol. 3 of 3 That's all very fine talking, said I; but if I were a bird condemned to pass my days in a cage, the handsomer it was the more I should be reconciled to my prison the elegance of my apartment would insure me visitors - I should not be forgotten and left to starve and pine and though I might sulk now and then, or jibe. Powers of en tertainment were not of the first order, the elegance of my appointments would insure respect; nay, if I happened to be a bird of fine plumage, though my note were with out melody, appearances would outweigh merit, and my pretty cage would compen sate for all defects; but, if my cage were bare and rusty, be my merits what they might the world would not observe them like our poor friend in the Bench, I should then be thrust aside/ to rot in some dark.

Herring are vital to the productivity and health of marine systems, and socio-ecologically Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) is one of the most important fish species in the Northern Hemisphere. Human dependence on herring has evolved for millennia through interactions with key spawning areas—but humans have also significantly impacted the species’ distribution and abundance. Combining ethnological, historical, archaeological, and political perspectives with comparative reference to other North Pacific cultures, Herring and People of the North Pacific traces fishery development in Southeast Alaska from precontact Indigenous relationships with herring to postcontact focus on herring products. Revealing new findings about current herring stocks as well as the fish’s significance to the conservation of intraspecies biodiversity, the book explores the role of traditional local knowledge, in combination with archeological, historical, and biological data, in both understanding marine ecology and restoring herring to their former abundance.

Excerpt from Great Tom of Oxford, Vol. 1 of 3 Let's see who he is, cried the porter, as he rushed into his lodge, and brought out a candle and lantern. He turned the box up so as to get a glimpse of the name upon it; and, in a tone which vacillated between con tempt and pity, said, He's only a servitor, poor devil!

Waste is one of the planet’s last great resource frontiers. From furniture made from up-cycled wood to gold extracted from computer circuit boards, artisans and multinational corporations alike are finding ways to profit from waste while diverting materials from overcrowded landfills. Yet beyond these benefits, this “new” resource still poses serious risks to human health and the environment. In this unique book, Kate O’Neill traces the emergence of the global political economy of wastes over the past two decades. She explains how the emergence of waste governance initiatives and mechanisms can help us deal with both the risks and the opportunities associated with the hundreds of millions – possibly billions – of tons of waste we generate each year. Drawing on a range of fascinating case studies to develop her arguments, including China’s role as the primary recipient of recyclable plastics and scrap paper from the Western world, “Zero-Waste” initiatives, the emergence of transnational waste-pickers’ alliances, and alternatives for managing growing volumes of electronic and food wastes, O’Neill shows how waste can be a risk, a resource, and even a livelihood, with implications for governance at local, national, and global levels.
