Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. Lamentations 5:7 Caleb and Bristol escaped a near-death experience in Los Angeles. But unfortunately, the chaos is not exclusive to California. A cataclysmic economic and societal collapse is metastasizing across the country and has permeated the small, isolated town where Caleb and Bristol seek refuge. Caleb and Bristol endure a harrowing cross-country road trip fraught with peril, scarcity, and danger to find Caleb's grandparents. When they arrive, the kinfolk Caleb finds is not at all what he expected. But the global financial system is coming unraveled and they'll have to make the best of the hand they've been dealt. Caleb learns that Los Angeles isn't the only place in America where maniacal miscreants have risen to power. The tentacles of the Koontz family are intertwined with local government positions as well as many Cocke County businesses. Likewise, their name seems to pop up at every misfortune around town. Caleb does his best to avoid the Koontzs, but when evasion ceases to be an option, Caleb will have to choose between fight or flight. A showdown between good and evil is coming. Yet in a world filled with darkness, the lines separating the two can get blurry. Don't miss the latest instalment in the new post-apocalyptic saga, Lamentations for the Fallen.

This is a history of the New Zealand poisonous honey problem. New Zealand was not the first country to report problems with poisonous honey. Poisonings have been known worldwide for more than 2,000 years and still occurs in some countries today. As well as descriptions of the poisoning incidents, the history includes a description of the efforts of beekeepers, beekeeping advisors, doctors, and scientists who took 80 years to identify the source of the poison, and regulators who attempted to eliminate the problem. Although this is a historical account, the threat of poisoning from toxic honey is still present today. The last reported poisonings occurred as recently as 2008 when 22 people were poisoned after consuming toxic honey from the Coromandel Peninsula. It is important for beekeepers to be aware of this history in order to prevent new poisoning incidents.

"These poems disclose a poet's rich relationship to the natural world by stripping away, by letting a raw objectivist lyric scrape off any rhetorical surface to discover the details beneath. This happens in almost every line, every phrase-so much so that finally his individual words seem to do it by themselves." (Tim Allen)
