Back Cover Text: Not long before the Santa Clara Valley of California was known for silicon, the Valley was largely covered with orchards. There were orchards of pears, apricots, cherries, walnuts and the king of them all-prunes. Most of the orchards were part of small family farms, and there were thousands of them. This is the story of what preceded those farms, how they came into being, and how they thrived. It is also the story of one of the last of those farms, of the farmer, and of some of the young boys and girls who had the privilege of working for him. We were among the last of the prune pickers.

The Last of the Prune Pickers: A Pre-Silicon Valley Story [paperback] Stanley, Tim (Author) [Jan 01, 2010]

Back Cover Text:Like a large and growing number of people, my wife had very serious health issues that could not be diagnosed. Her ailments did not fit the medical text books, and because of that I was eventually taken aside by one of her doctors and told that her problems were mental. It turns out that the mental problem was not hers. This is her story. It was written for the benefit of the countless thousands of people whose ailments do not fit the mold of "modern medicine." This book is not merely about mercury poisoning, although that subject is covered very well. It is even more about the entirely different approach we had to take to get to the bottom of a serious health problem. In doing so, we learned how our "healthcare" system works, why it works that way, and what to do about it. If you have multiple allergies, an auto-immune condition, any kind of blood sugar problem, or any adrenal challenges, this book can help you. If you have all of the above, have or suspect metals poisoning, or have a long list of "unexplained" symptoms or conditions of ill-health, you will most likely find this book invaluable. Or, if you simply want to live in a healthier manner, you will find the common sense expressed in these pages refreshing, encouraging, and empowering. There is something in this book for everyone.Additional Information:The question we are consistently asked is, "How do you get mercury poisoning?" We eventually realized that any short answer to the question is not only woefully inadequate, but in fact can be misleading. Mercury poisoning is a very complex condition with many facets. Furthermore, it does not exist by itself. There are always other components. Because of this, unless mercury poisoning is discussed in detail, as it is in this book, misunderstanding is inevitable. The book contains more than 300 references and resources.

The Peopling of Silicon Valley, 1940 to the Present Day: An Oral History puts a human face on the Valley. It does not pretend to be a history of the entire Valley during this period or of the technology industries for which the place is now famous. This is a personal history of a cross section of the people who have settled here and of the place they call home with just enough of the technology story to make it interesting. The book encompasses the five major migrations to the Valley since World War II: the GIs, Lockheed, the chip makers, the minicomputer folks, and the software and web developers. Each is, if not the dominant group, at least a group representative of a particular period that lasted fifteen years or more. Each wave of people brought with it both increased economic prosperity and social change. This is their story, told as much as possible in their own words. Tim Stanley is the author of The Last of the Prune Pickers: A Pre-Silicon Valley Story, a popular local history. 350 pages, 70 photographs

VICTORIA & ALBERT (B

The arts of Islam, a great and ancient culture, are presented here in all their astonishing richness and diversity, through the V&A's magnificent collections. From the Middle East came the earliest astrological clocks, the finest ceramics and lustreware, the development of calligraphy and Arabic scripts, and the intricate skills of carpet-weaving, among many other profoundly significant cultural developments. This cradle of empires was also a vibrant commercial centre, exporting raw materials, skills and techniques to surrounding lands, and spreading its web of influence from Southern Spain to Northern India. This book skilfully traces the main currents of Islamic art, focusing in detail on some of its great masterpieces and the technical skill that created them, illustrated with fine examples from the collections of the V&A. In doing so, it distills a rich and vibrant culture, and will be of lasting value to all those interested in the glories of the Islamic world.
