Herb Mills, 1931 - 2018Herb Mills was on his way to a PhD and career at a major university as a brilliant political theorist when he dropped out of the University of California and became a longshoreman, and a member of the independent International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU), long known for its militancy and radical program, and its President Harry Bridges who on four separate occasions the United States government sought (unsuccessfully) to deport because of his alleged membership in the Communist Party.At Berkeley, Herb was an important early 1960s leader in the emerging northern student movement, whose birthplace was in many ways there. Representing the student movement, he travelled nationally to speak against the House Un-American Activities Committee's campaign to make the student movement a Communist plot. In ILWU, Herb rose from the rank-and-file to become a shop steward, chair of the steward's council, business agent and secretary-treasurer of Local 10. He was a delegate to the coast-wide contract negotiating committee, strategist of ILWU's successful effort to stop U.S. arms shipments to the dictatorship in El Salvador, and similarly conceived the plan that saved South Korean leader and later elected president Kim Dae Jung from the military dictatorship's plan to execute him. (Kim invited Herb as his guest to the inauguration.) Within the union, Herb became a major Bridges' and Mechanization & Modernization (M&M) Agreement critic because it undermined the solidarity of the union. Herb wrote extensively about his longshore work and the union. He engaged in four-days of interviews with Harvey Schwartz, ILWU oral historian. He was the key consultant to The Smithsonian's longshoring exhibit in its permanent Transportation Section. He took a break for a year and completed his PhD on Deuel Vocational Institute, a prison near the Bay Area. Herb was the engaged father of two daughters and a son, an actor, and my best friend for 60 years. This book is a tribute to him. While I'm the editor, it expresses the collective effort of many.--Mike Miller, Editor

This is a reference book which combines modern medical principles and traditional medicine into a modern philosophy of herbalism. Beginning with human pathology, this book shows how plants act on the body, and how research has demonstrated that herbs are viable medicines in today's scientific climate. A pharmacology describes the active constituents of plants, while a materia medica describes over 200 plants and shows how to recognize them, prepare them and use them for healing purposes.

Every day millions of Canadians go out to work. They labour in factories, offices, restaurants, and retail stores, on ships, and deep in mines. And every day millions of other Canadians, mostly women, begin work in their homes, performing the many tasks that ensure the well-being of their families and ultimately, the reproduction of the paid labour force. Yet, for all its undoubted importance, there has been remarkably little systematic research into the past and present dynamics of the world of work in Canada.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union, born out of the 1934 West Coast maritime and San Francisco general strikes under the charismatic leadership of Harry Bridges, has been known from the start for its strong commitment to democracy, solidarity, and social justice. In this collection of firsthand narratives, union leaders and rank-and-file workers - from the docks of Pacific Coast ports to the fields of Hawaii to bookstores in Portland, Oregon - talk about their lives at work, on the picket line, and in the union. Workers recall the back-breaking, humiliating conditions on the waterfront before they organized, the tense days of the 1934 strike, the challenges posed by mechanization, the struggle against racism and sexism on the job, and their activism in other social and political causes. Their stories testify to the union's impact on the lives of its members and also to its role in larger events, ranging from civil rights battles at home to the fights against fascism and apartheid abroad. Solidarity Stories is a unique contribution to the literature on unions. There is a power and immediacy in the voices of workers that is brilliantly expressed here. Taken together, these voices provide a portrait of a militant, corruption-free, democratic union that can be a model and an inspiration for what a resurgent American labor movement might look like. The book will appeal to students and scholars of labor history, social and economic history, and social change, as well as trade unionists and anyone interested in labor politics and history.
