Dear Friend and Reader:
Today I have a reference to a new piece of writing by a close friend, Carol van Strum out in Tidewater, Oregon. Carol has mentored my environmental investigative reporting for many years. She’s currently doing a series of book reviews for a website called Department of the Planet Earth. Here are her latest reviews — pretty interesting stuff, if you ask me, most of it related to the ethics of the atomic bomb.
For environmental junkies out there, Carol is the author of the book A Bitter Fog, and is one of the people who helped me learn how to do this kind of journalism, posted to the Dioxin Dorms website.
