Uroš Meško urosmesko — Farming and agribusiness and Mexican labor. Excellent historical background on imported Mexican labor to California. Emphasis on the bracero program. Find the history of immigration rhetoric on all sides here. Beautifully, fluidly written for non-specialists. He had been nominated for a Nobel Prize for his autobiography, Barrio Boy, so his writing style is excellent.

Fernanda Pérez-caballero fernandacaballero — I identify with Walter in several ways. Yes, I am getting on in years, but I still hear the waves and smell the brine in the air. My love for the ocean and all things beach will never die. I have only two real regrets in my life....really. I regret waiting until my mid-twenties to set foot on a golf course. I have lived very near both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans and I regret now living so far inland, far away from any beach. Robb's description of the waves' careless bullying of the wannabe surfer helped me feel Walter's pain as I remembered the many times the ocean had its way with me over the years, and damned near killed me more than once. I haven't been on a surfboard in many years, but I'm still a darned good body surfer. I ride the waves every time I can get back to a beach. I know from personal experience that a short story can be a complete story. This story did, however, leave me wanting more....mgc

Daniel Sardo _aniel_ardo — This is a picture-book about a boy who finds a 'lost thing' on the beach while searching for bottle-tops to add to his collection. The 'lost thing' doesn't seem to belong anywhere or to anyone, so the boy takes it home with him and then searches for a place where it can belong. Told with simplicity and humour, the book is a lovely story about compassion, about being able to notice the needs of others and take the time to respond. The lost thing itself is mysterious and fascinating, and the pictures are crammed with details. There is a fantastic short film of the story which Shaun Tan was involved in producing, and he is interviewed at the end. The lost thing comes to life even more in the film. If you like the book, I recommend you see the film and the interview with Tan.
