This compact book, which comes in calendar form, contains all the information you need to successfully plant and tend gardens, lawns, shrubs, and trees around you home in the mid-atlantic region. It covers planting, pruning, fertilizers, insect and weed control. Product comparisons are provided and schedules for the care and feeding of the lawn and garden are given in super-clear formats.

The calendar portion tells you everything you need to do during each month--very important since timing of applications is as critical as the proper choice of fertilizers and insect and weed control. This book contains the most complete, informative, and straight-forward lawn care and renovation material you can find. It also contains detailed sections on the care of many commong trees, shrubs, and ornamental houseplants. This is a must-have book and should be consulted often--you will be amazed at how much you learn!

Excellent, easy-to-read book about how modern humans dispersed and populated our world. Tracks human colonists to Australia, across the bitter Russian steppe to Siberia and Americas, etc.

"The Last of Eden" is a book that takes on all of the things that many books for "children" don't dare too. It is compelling, and overwhelmingly deep, and suprising. The beginning is wonderful, but as we get deeper into these girls who go to a boarding school, we realize that people aren't always as good a friend as we seem. It is hauntingly beautiful, and a wonderful book for ages 10 and up.

I would highly recommnend this book to anyone interested in the environment, but more importantly, anyone interested in the idea of "saving" the environment. Ashworth very nobly explores man's vision of what "nature" should be and what conservation should mean. Through his own experiences and wisdom, he deftly tells it like it is and though this may seem a turnoff to many, he doesn't aggravate or annoy the reader. I read this book in several hours, and wished there had been more. Ashworth is a keen observer of nature and anyone who feels that nature is worth saving should read this book.

This handy little book covers just about everything you need to know about marbling on fabric, including help with problems. Contains lots of color pictures and excellent diagrams of techniques.

Ten Thousand Years From Eden: The Long Search For A Personal Nutrition From Our Forest Origins To The Supermarkets Of Today by nutrition expert and retired academician Charles Heizer Wharton is a detailed, college-level study of human nutrition from the perspective of an ecologist. From the origin of human beings with a hunter/gatherer system of food gathering and consumption practices, to achieving the best nutrition from today's complex, market-heavy and artificially flavored world of foods and beverages, Ten Thousand Years From Eden is as practical for modern readers as it is amazing for everyone with an interest in the history of the human diet. Ten Thousand Years From Eden is a unique and highly recommended addition to students of nutrition, human evolution, human ecology, and contemporary food habits in a post-industrial age.

His 1st book: "Against the Wind" was good and easy to read, while his new venture into a Murder Mystery leaves you wanting more. I have marked his name for future offerings. 5 Stars to "Murder III"

This book opened my eyes about life in general. People need to respect their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Our memories are wonderful stories about the good times of our youth and we think at the time is the bad times. This author has a wonderful way of expressing his feelings and, at times, mine. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who is searching for a little bit of their country upbringing, or who wished they had a country one to remember.

Archie Carr was a renowned naturalist and perhaps the world's expert on marine turtles. He wrote with a lyrical simplicity that reflects the south of the early- and mid-20th century. His elegant descriptions of animals and his understated wit reveal his deep involvement with the natural world and the human processes that are now shaping it. Archie knew Florida like a native and could describe it like no one else of his generation.

It's great to see Steinbeck's works coming out in this nice edition. This volume is up to LOA's usual excellent standards, and like the first two volumes in the Steinbeck series, continues covering both famous pieces like Cannery Row and East of Eden, as well as some of his less known works. In any case it's a real treat for any Steinbeck fan. Can't wait for the fourth volume!
