This is the true story of a whale, a tragic accident, and a man who had a brilliant idea that turned a tragedy into an opportunity to grow food and flowers for children. The story was first reported on October 19, 2009 when a massive whale washed ashore just south of Fort Bragg, California, not far from the world-famous Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. The 72 foot blue whale was struck by a marine research vessel about seven miles off the coast of Fort Bragg earlier in the day. Local residents of the area were the first to see the massive whale. The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is the largest animal to have ever lived, being almost as big as a Boeing 737 and even larger than the biggest dinosaurs. But soon more people came to study the whale and to preserve the bones for future viewing. A determined team of community volunteers decided to work together to turn the tragedy into something good. It soon became apparent that the immediate problem was what to do with the huge whale which was beginning to smell. It was too large to haul back out to sea. One of the local residents called Martin Mileck, the owner of Cold Creek Compost, to see if he could help. No one had ever tried to compost a whale, but Martin thought he could do it. "I know I can compost this whale instead of sending her to a dump site," Martin decided. "We'll give the whale compost to schools and community gardens to grow food and flowers for people. For us there's no such thing as waste. Everything can, and should be, re-cycled."

MenAlive is for everyone who wants to keep stress from shortening their lives and damaging their relationships. It is more than a book. MenAlive is a complete tool kit for relieving stress and bringing about lasting health. "80 percent of all illnesses are stress induced," says Woodson Merrell, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Integrative Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center. Although stress impacts everyone, men are particularly vulnerable. According to social scientist Dr. Thomas Joiner, "Males experience higher mortality rates than females at all stages of life from conception to old age." Diamond, best-selling author of Surviving Male Menopause and the Irritable Male Syndrome, teaches men and women four simple, yet effective, practices that can be used to prevent stress-related problems all of us face in this fast-paced, often chaotic world. In Part I of the book, Diamond describes the hazards and blessings of being male, why perpetual stress is deadly, the science behind energy healing, and "the ultimate power tool" for guys who want their lives to work. In Part II, he details the four energy healing tools Diamond believes to be the most effective and scientifically sound: Earthing, Heart-Coherence, Attachment Love, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). In Part III, he applies the tools to the most pressing problems men face today including: Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS), male-type depression, chronic pain, sexual dysfunction and loss of desire, Andropause (male menopause) and age-related issues, and the stresses related to our economic and ecological transition. Both men and women will be interested in getting answers to the following questions: Is Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) undermining your health and relationship? How can you treat depression without talk therapy or drugs? Which simple Energy Healing Tool can you use to relieve shoulder, neck, and back pain? What are the best tools for reducing inflammation and improving sleep? How can you keep Andropause (male menopause) from ruining your sex life? Could you and your partner be going through "double menopause?" Why do men frighten women and why do women shame men? Which tools should you use to best insure that a relationship lasts a lifetime? What are the most important things you can do when the economy hits the fan? How can you prepare for the global changes in 2012 and beyond?
