A Trip to Salt Lake
A Trip to Salt Lake By: Patricia Bouton Masoni The day Margo Heston learned her husband, Devon, had killed twenty-two Vietnamese children from his helicopter was the day she removed him from her heart. Dev said they were future enemies – he had saved himself, and others, because the next time, they’d have guns. They had been married eight months when Margo left him. Devon married a year later. It is three years since her divorce, and Margo, age thirty-three, is on her way to visit Lloyd, her stepfather, in Santa Cruz, California. Lloyd is eighty-three, and now widowed. On this visit, Margo hopes to convince him to move into a retirement home near her or her sister, Nina. In approaching t...
Like Snowmen
Like Snowmen By: Patricia Bouton-Masoni A father and his young son are on a walk after a snowfall. They stop to view a lone snowman in a front yard – life-size with coal eyes, a carrot nose, a scarf and hat. “When you think of it,” Silvio, the father says, his mood serious, “we’re all like snowmen.

Because something is important.” He makes a snowball and throws it ahead of them. “While here, we’ve got to follow what we believe in. It’s an obligation to ourselves, figlio mio. An obligation to the ones we l...
Heavy Metals Accumulation, Toxicity and Detoxification in Plants
In recent years, heavy metals have been widely used in agricultural, chemical, domestic, and technological applications, causing environmental and soil contaminations.

Understanding the regulation mechanisms of plant heavy metals accumulation and partitioning is important to improve the safety of the food chain. In this Special Issue book, a total of 19 articles were included; four reviews covering phytoremediation, manganese phytotoxicity in plants, the effect of cadmium on plant dev...
Food, Drink and Identity
Food and drink have provided fascinating insights into cultural patterns in consumer societies. There is an intimate relationship between food and identity but processes of identity formation through food are far from clear. This book adds a new perspective to the existing body of scholarship by addressing pivotal questions: is food central or marginal to identity construction? Does food equally matter for all group(ing)s? Why would, in peoples experience, food become especially important at one moment, or, on the contrary, lose its significance? The origin of food habits is also interrogated. Contributors investigate how, when, why and by whom cooking, eating and drinking were used as a mea...
