CONTENTS

·        When the Vikings Sailed East – Crossing the Baltic into northern Europe’s Slavic heartland, early Scandinavians raided and traded down the Dnieper and Volga Rivers. Robert Paul Jordan, photographer Jim Brandenburg, and artist Michael A Hampshire re-create a tumultuous era.

·        Storing Up Trouble…Hazardous Waste – What should we do with this dangerous and inevitable by-product of industry? There are no easy answers, report Allen A Boraiko and photographer Fred Ward.

·        Susquehanna: America’s Small-Town River – From central New York State to the Chesapeake Bay, Peter Miller and William T Douthitt follow this major yet quiet river as it meanders past the homes of farmers, steel-workers, and coal miners.

·        Miniature Horses – R L Blakely and photographer Thomas Nebbia capture the spirit of lovable equines that measure less than three feet tall.

·        Of Spirits and Saints – Magic and religion merge in voodoo—the folk cult of Haiti. Carole Devillers joins pilgrim festivals in which African ancestral spirits and church saints are equally celebrated.

COVER – Deadly ooze containing PCBs is the harvest of a technician cleaning toxic chemicals from an abandoned dump in Michigan. Photograph by Fred Ward.
