Part I. What's left?: Arts of noticing
Contamination as collaboration
Part II. After progress : salvage accumulation: Working the edge
What happened to the state? Two kinds of Asian Americans
Between the dollar and the yen
From gifts to commodities- and back
Salvage rhythms : business in disturbance
Part III: Disturbed beginnings : unintentional design: The life of the forest
Coming up among pines ...
Part IV. In the middle of things: Matsutake crusaders : waiting for fungal action
Anti-ending : some people I met along the way
Spore trail : the further adventures of a mushroom.
