I just received this from Chelsea Green Publishing. They are sending me a 
copy for review and endorsement, and I can't wait to see it. We'll have to 
wait until June to see the published book, but here's a heads up:

"Chelsea Green Publishing is proud to be publishing in June the last major 
work from Masanobu Fukuoka, author of international bestseller The One-Straw 
Revolution (Rodale, 1978). This new book, titled Sowing Seeds in the Desert, 
is Fukuoka's last major work, and may just be his most important. 

One-Straw spoke directly to the growing movement of organic farmers and 
activists seeking a new way of life. For years after its publication, Fukuoka 
traveled the world spreading his teachings and developing a devoted following 
of farmers seeking to get closer to the truth of nature. Sowing Seeds in the 
Desert, a summation of those years of travel and research, is Fukuoka’s last 
major work. Fukuoka spent years working with people and organizations in 
Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, to prove that 
you could, indeed, grow food and regenerate forests with very little 
irrigation in the most desolate places."
