A Question of Intent
by David Kessler
Dubbed "Eliot Knessler" by The Washington Post, due to the way he resurrected a moribund government agency, FDA Commissioner David Kessler launched a carefully considered, thorough, and aggressive assault against the previously unassailable tobacco industry. His attempt to regulate tobacco as a drug was met with all of the industry's now notorious practices: legal stonewalling, manipulation of "bought" elected officials, intimidation, and outright lies. Kessler tackled all of these challenges with the vigor of a man perhaps outgunned but not outmaneuvered. At the height the FDA's legal battle, U.S. News and World Report called Kessler "somebody you can tell your children about" and compared him to the protagonists of MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Like those classic American stories, A Question of Intent is about the search for truth, the choices people make, and right and wrong. It is about moral courage.

The Cultivation of Hemp
by Ivan Bocsa
This is the book that will prepare the prospective hemp farmer for his crop. It is a translation of the German book that is in common use throughout Europe, where the acreage devoted to hemp is increasing annually. Introductory chapters summarize the historical significance of hemp and profile the current state of cultivation. The heart of the book, however, is its detailed classification of the varieties of hemp. The authors provide botanical descriptions and discuss the reproductive biology of the plant. Practical, how-to information on cultivating each variety of hemp is given, including necessary nutrients, soil preparation, and harvesting techniques.
The Art of the Commonplace
by Wendell Berry
