The reader of this volume will experience a voyage of discovery with one of the finest guides available. James E. Lessenger has combined experience in private practice, preventive medicine, and public service in California’s San Joaquin Valley, one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. His experience and selection of chapter authors is, in every sense, a contribution to illuminating the art and science of agromedicine. As one examines the table of contents, one is impressed by the range of topics and the importance of each concern. Covering both injury prevention and environmental h- ards, this innovative work is a practical guide for the family physician working in a rural area. The contents demonstrate the vitality of agromedicine and the vision and insight of the authors. The chapters on farm chemicals provide thorough information about the many types of chemicals commonly used in the farm environment, how they are applied, and the principles of diagnosis and management for family physicians treating patients for toxic chemical exposure. These chapters underscore the fact that the use of farm chemicals is one of the things responsible for the increase in worldwide agricultural production and that risks can be managed through preventive measures. The Agricultural Medicine represents a benchmark in the evolution of a concept begun in South Carolina over two decades ago called agromedicine.

Homosexuality is often seen as a purely urban experience, far removed from rural and small-town life. Farm Boys undermines that cliché by telling the stories of more than three dozen gay men, ranging in age from 24 to 84, who grew up in farm families in the midwestern United States. Whether painful, funny, or matter-of-fact, these plain-spoken accounts will move and educate any reader, gay or not, from farm or city.

Thierry Boissière studies the social world of urban gardens in Orontes, of which he gives us the technical systems, the socio-professional structure and organization, the close links with the city as well as the evolution over the past fifty years.It illustrates the different facets of the relationship between gardeners and notable landowners, sheds light on their changes in Homs and Hama, highlights the transformations that have resulted in the reversal of power relations under the effect of land reform, and in particular of laws on agricultural contracts and cooperatives. The “time of the notables” was followed by a “time of gardeners”, and today perhaps “a time of town planners”, anxious to develop green spaces for all in cities in full expansion.In a back-and-forth between the two cities, in the variations of scale between the local and the global brought about by the stories and the analysis, the ethnologist thus sheds light on a whole section of the socio-economic history of Syria.
