Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A gel-like substance mysteriously appears across the country. No one notices it at first. But then strange things begin to happen. DHS Director Ted Stevens is assigned to investigate. He enlists the help of scientists at a government laboratory to analyze the 'goo'. They discover the substance has unique properties; it can clone animals. Ted soon learns the substance can also clone humans. Sue is the first new person cloned from the alien goo. She appeared without any knowledge or memory. She looks like an adult, but has the mind of a child. She does, however, learn very quickly. When she is escorted away by Mr. Stevens, Sue learns that she is not the only new person to arrive on the planet. Ted isolates Sue, along with five other new adults and five new children, on an abandoned military base in California while he determines how to respond to new people appearing in society. While confined in their new community, the clones discover a message within themselves, hidden in the goo from which they appeared. Sue decides she must deliver the message, and one morning she's gone. A clone has escaped. While retrieving Sue, Ted learns about the clones' message and needs to know more about these new people. He has the scientists test the clones before deciding what to do with them. Their fate will be decided by their DNA fingerprints.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Farming across Borders uses agricultural history to connect the regional experiences of the American West, northern Mexico, western Canada, and the North American side of the Pacific Rim, now writ large into a broad history of the North American West. Case studies of commodity production and distribution, trans-border agricultural labor, and environmental change unite to reveal new perspectives on a historiography traditionally limited to a regional approach.Sterling Evans has curated nineteen essays to explore the contours of "big" agricultural history. Crops and commodities discussed include wheat, cattle, citrus, pecans, chiles, tomatoes, sugar beets, hops, henequen, and more. Toiling over such crops, of course, were the people of the North American West, and as such, the contributing authors investigate the role of agricultural labor, from braceros and Hutterites to women working in the sorghum fields and countless other groups in between.As Evans concludes, "society as a whole (no matter in what country) often ignores the role of agriculture in the past and the present." Farming across Borders takes an important step toward cultivating awareness and understanding of the agricultural, economic, and environmental connections that loom over the North American West regardless of lines on a map. In the words of one essay, "we are tied together . . . in a hundred different ways.".…
