This time, our super sleuth takes to the high seas for this engaging mystery, Alongside recently absent No. 2 son "Jimmy" he must investigate the murder of a treasury agent who is trying to thwart quite a complex conspiracy to smuggle counterfeit cash into Samoa. Can he find the culprit before it docks and the passengers all go their separate ways? Silly question, really - but this is not an easy series of deductions as he, with the hapless "Jimmy" and fellow, if rather irritating, pal "Chattanooga" (Willie Best) - who have procured a fun set of walkie talkies for this adventure - have to deal with an eloping couple, an icythyologist, a blackmailer and someone very handy at knife throwing - indeed it makes you wonder why cruising ever took off at all! Their search is light-hearted and well paced, with plenty of red herrings to keep the suspense going swimmingly. Not one of the best, but nice to have Sen Yung back, too!

Satoyama I: Japan's Secret Watergarden1999-01-07Japan is a country of steep mountains surrounding wide flat plains where people have lived for thousands of years. On the largest plain lies the country's largest freshwater lake, Lake Biwa, which is not at all far from Japan's ancient, capital city of Kyoto. The slopes that stretch down towards the lake have been terraced. Here rice seedlings need shallow water in which to grow, and the neat, meticulously constructed paddy fields provide just this. Some of them have been cultivated continuously for thousands of years. Alongside them stand patches of woodland where, for centuries, the people have found their fuel and their food. This is a land that has been touched by people, yet the people tread lightly upon it. It's a land that has been ruled for centuries by the demands of the rice, yet it's still dominated by the rhythmic cycle of the seasons. Here is a landscape that the Japanese people hold so close to their hearts that they have a special word for it: Satoyama.More...
