Book Description
When I started this, I was sitting quietly in my private room--my man cave, if you will. I was thinking about my life event that brought me to this place in my life. I had just finished the last of my chemo preventive treatments for lymphoma. Two years of it. Before that, a year of chemo and radiation. That was a huge part of my life. My thoughts led me to write down a story or memoir of my experiences that happened in the military and what I thought I contracted the cancer from. I did this as therapy for my mind and soul. Life was starting to become unbearable, and I needed to vent. As I began to write, I drifted into a fantasy world. I've always been fascinated with comic books and imagining worlds. I always wanted to discover new characters, something different. But what? It's like the old saying "Nothing new under the sun." Speed, strength, flight, etc. While I was writing about myself, the strangest thing started happening: it was like my mind exploded with imaginary thoughts! I felt like I was being pulled into an imaginary world. I was so lost I couldn't keep up with my thoughts! I had to stop for a moment; whoa, whoa! This is too much to compute! The words started to scramble like they all wanted to be next. I told myself, "One word at a time." I'm getting confused! I was pulled into a strange place that kept recurring where I left off from my last thought. The characters I created were different from the usual and any similarities and their own distinct ways of taking action. I've enjoyed these stories and hope you do as well as those I shared them with. I'm working on new stories as I speak. Maybe create new characters. Who knows? The mind is a complicated thing. 70 70

Book Description
In 1996, an unprecedented decade-long courtroom battle was waged in Florida to help bring justice and hope to the family of a young boy born with no eyes after his mother was doused outside of a local u-pick farm by a chemical fungicide believed to have caused his birth defect and the birth defects of many other children. It was a battle that nearly everyone but attorney Jim Ferraro deemed unwinnable. After all, it involved one of the world’s most powerful industrial giants. In the process, it was a fight that changed the landscape of tort law forever. Before it was over Castillo-vs-DuPont would go down in history as the first and one of the most important cases of its kind, setting precedent and also sparking a crucial debate over the questionable use of what is known as the “junk-science defense.” Blindsided is a blow-by-blow account of how a lone attorney challenged a dangerous threat to public health....and how the defenders never saw defeat coming. It’s a real life David and Goliath story―a true courtroom drama for the ages.

Book Description
A proposal for a new chemicals strategy: that we work to develop safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals rather than focusing exclusively on controlling them. Today, there are thousands of synthetic chemicals used to make our clothing, cosmetics, household products, electronic devices, even our children's toys. Many of these chemicals help us live longer and more comfortable lives, but some of these highly useful chemicals are also persistent, toxic, and dangerous to our health and the environment. For fifty years, the conventional approach to hazardous chemicals has focused on regulation, barriers, and protection. In Chemicals without Harm, Ken Geiser proposes a different strategy, based on developing and adopting safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals rather than focusing exclusively on controlling them. Geiser reviews past government policies focused on controlling chemicals, describes government initiatives outside the United States that have begun to implement a more sustainable chemical policy, and offers an overview of the chemicals industry and market. He develops a safer chemicals policy framework that includes processes for characterizing, classifying, and prioritizing chemicals; generating and using new chemical information; and promoting transitions to safer chemicals. The shift in strategy described by Geiser will require broad changes in science, the chemicals economy, and government policy. Geiser shows that it is already beginning, identifying an emerging movement of scientists, corporate managers, environmental activists, and government leaders who are fashioning a new, twenty-first-century approach to chemicals.
