Grass Roots: A History of Cannabis in the American West 
Nick Johnson 
Marijuana legalization is unfolding across the American West, but cultivation of the cannabis plant is anything but green. Unregulated outdoor grows are polluting ecosystems, high-powered indoor grows are churning out an excessive carbon footprint, and the controversial crop is becoming an agricultural boon just as the region faces an unprecedented water crisis. Grass Roots uses the history of cannabis as a crop to make sense of its regulation in the present, highlighting current efforts to make the marijuana industry more sustainable.

Strand: An Odyssey of Pacific Ocean Debris 
Bonnie Henderson 
Travel writer and amateur naturalist Bonnie Henderson traces the stories of wrack washed up on the mile-long stretch of Oregon beach she has walked regularly for more than a decade. The burned hull of a long-abandoned fishing boat, a glass fishing float, the egg case of a skate, a beached minke whale, an unusual number of dead murres, and an athletic shoe are the starting points for essays that reach across the globe. Strand offers a thoughtful look at the surprisingly far-ranging journeys of what washes up on our Pacific shores.

Meander Scars: Reflections on Healing the Willamette River 
Abby Phillips Metzger 
Once a rich network of channels and sloughs, the Willamette today bears the scars of development and degradation. Through canoe trips and intimate explorations of the river, Metzger discovers glints of resiliency: a beaver trolling through a slough, native fish in quiet backwaters, and strong currents that carry undertones of the wild Willamette. Together with tales from farmers and scientists, these experiences lead Metzger to ask whether something scarred can fully heal, and whether a disjointed river can be whole again.

Leaded: The Poisoning of Idaho's Silver Valley 
Michael C. Mix 
Leaded examines the origin, evolution, and causes of the harmful environmental and human health effects caused by mining operations in Idaho’s Coeur d’Alene Mining District—the “Silver Valley”—from 1885 to 1981. It will resonate with anyone who is concerned about the long-term effects of industrial pollution, as well as students of environmental history, western US history, mining history, environmental ethics, and environmental law.
