		In a poignant style, veterinarian and journalist Walters tells a cautionary tale about how politics and conservation can intersect in a way that turns the best intentions into unpredicted results.
		Walters takes readers along as he travels to Mauna Loa to interview locals about the 'alalã's significance to Hawaiian spirituality, biologists on their task of shoring up the bird's habitat and reintroducing captive birds to the wild, and others on conservation attempts that have backfired.
		Battles between government agencies, private-land owners, and biologists led to the bird's recent passage into virtual extinction in the wild, Walters asserts.

		Thirty years ago in Mountain Spirits, Joe defined the modern understanding American moonshine as a respectable craft fallen on hard times.
		Whiskey making wasn't just a practice that was dying off; it was a Southern way of life in peril of extinction.
		Where most were content to write only what they had read of whiskey making, Joe went into the field, talking to and making friends with moonshiners and revenuers, relating their stories with affable scholarship and deep respect as he did in his subsequent The Corn Whiskey Recipe Book and More Mountain Spirits.

	Hayao Miyazaki 1941— - EARLY LIFE, GROWING INDEPENDENCE, STUDIO GHIBLI, THE DISNEY DEAL, A RENEWAL
		The year 1979 saw the release of the first important picture directed by Miyazaki, Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro.
		In the early 1980s he began one of his most popular manga series, based on the character Nausicaä, a princess living in a future where humanity is in peril of extinction.
		In 1982 the Tokuma production company asked Miyazaki, who was by then an instructor for beginning animators and a very experienced director of television cartoons, to make the Nausicaä stories into an animated feature.
