    It is 2023 and our intrepid Cape Cod health, safety, and environmental consultants, who some call the best in the business, are continuing to travel globally to help those in everyday headlines with their S, H, & E crises. Client problems range from military to millinery; autism to engulfment; Ukraine to San Francisco's historic Cliff House; Amazon to Mexican pig farms; confined spaces to massive Texas large garbage dumps; civil war submarine health to Boston light rail safety; and all manner of issues with the world's new energy needs. Our consultants encounter people against nature, people against people, people against the dangerous machinery their own imaginations had created, people against misinformation, people against deliberate false information, people taking bad risks, and man's hubris toward outwitting obvious perils. These are all cutting-edge challenges for our savvy crew of experts. Can they make a difference? Will they make a difference? If not, how likely is the planet's future if they don't make a difference? Entertaining, informative, educational, and mostly fun reading!
