The search is a journey that lasts a lifetime. There are places that feel like that for which we search, but the urge is never totally quieted. And though we can't say with any certainty, we suspect that if we found it, we'd never leave again.

There is an indefinable urge to always take a last look. It is difficult to leave what was behind, for it has marked us in some way. Look One Last is my final book of poetry. It succumbs to the urge to take a last look at the journey to where I am now. I am content for what has been and looking forward to what will be. But come, Look One Last with me.

Why does Procter & Gamble repeatedly call on enthusiastic amateurs to solve scientific and technical challenges? How can companies as diverse as iStockphoto and Threadless employ just a handful of people, yet generate millions of dollars in revenue every year? "Crowdsourcing" is how the power of the many can be leveraged to accomplish feats that were once the responsibility of a specialized few. Jeff Howe reveals that the crowd is more than wise-it's talented, creative, and stunningly productive. It's also a perfect meritocracy, where age, gender, race, education, and job history no longer matter; the quality of the work is all that counts. If you can perform the service, design the product, or solve the problem, you've got the job.But crowdsourcing has also triggered a dramatic shift in the way work is organized, talent is employed, research is conducted, and products are made and marketed. As the crowd comes to supplant traditional forms of labor, pain and disruption are inevitable, and Howe delves into both the positive and negative consequences of this intriguing phenomenon. Through extensive reporting from the front lines of this workplace revolution, he employs a brilliant array of stories to look at the economic, cultural, business, and political implications of crowdsourcing.

The March of the Turtles finds its theme in death. I had never envisioned doing such a book. I have included death references in some of my prior work, but not to the degree it is written about here.

He left us this year, just as I was wondering how to get the book finished. It is dedicated to him: Joe Nanney
