Handbook of Edible Wild Plants and Weeds, Vol 1, Handbook (Incredible Edibles Series)

ASIN: 0939656264 |
Book Description
In times of strife, economic or disaster, the need for food doesn't diminish, but the usual sources may not be available. Some wild edibles are nutritious to some degree, while others are highly nutritious. If you are really hungry, either way, they will provide food. You may learn about the food sources that surround us, and they present new possibilities for your eating pleasure. A person need not go hungry under these circumstances if there is a williingness to learn beforehand. When camping, most people take all the conveniences and necessities with them as if the wilderness was another planet. Lost in the woods, the edible things about them have no meaning. It's time to wake up to the natural possibilities available. The need is closer than you may think. One main purpose for this book, indeed, the entire Incredible Edibles Series, is that whatever situation you find yourself, there is always food available. It's always good to know what is edible in an emergency, for refreshment on a hike, a camping trip, or just as a new experience. In order to provide a more useful book, Edible Native Plants and Weeds has been divided into two volumes. Volume 1 is the Handbook that would be most useful in the field. 961 plants identified and 304 color illustrations are included. Volume 2 is the Reference that would be necessary for study and utilization of the information available beforehand. 423 pages, total, covering the United States and neighboring area along with some plants in Alaska and Hawaii.

Chelsea: The Story of a Signal Dog
Paul Ogden Manufacturer: Little, Brown and Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0316633755 |
Book Description
Paul Ogden, a deaf college professor, and his wife Anne, who is hard of hearing, discovered their "ears" in Chelsea, a beautiful, gentle Belgian sheepdog. Instead of herding sheep, like her ancestors, Chelsea works as a signal dog, helping the Ogdens live as normally as possible. She "tells" them if someone is at the door or on the phone, and wakes them when the alarm has gone off. She even reacts to the sound of strange voices and unusual noises."A warm and witty book . . . Chelsea's tale is a delightful read. . . . That feeling of love and devotion -- the Ogdens for Chelsea and she for them -- comes through on every page of Paul Ogden's book." -- The Baltimore SunCustomer Reviews:

Gaining Ground: Dramatic Landscaping Solutions to Reclaim Lost Garden Spaces
Maureen Gilmer Manufacturer: Contemporary Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0809227770 |
Amazon.com
A gardening reality that everyone faces up to, usually sooner rather than later, is that anyone who loves plants never, ever has enough garden space. That is why a book such as Gaining Ground is as useful for gardeners trying to squeeze one more tree or shrub into their half-acre backyard as it is for those learning to garden in pots on the deck of their new condominium. So many of our gardening books are from England, where anything smaller than an acre or two is considered to be a tiny garden. We need more American gardening books like Gaining Ground, which deal with gardening on suburban plots and apartment-house balconies.Author Maureen Gilmer, host of the new PBS show Backyard Living, has written a book filled with creative and practical ideas on how to make the most of whatever space you have. How to shield out street noise, plant narrow privacy walls, use color to create the illusion of space, and personalize even the smallest garden are clearly illustrated in both photos and text. The color photographs feature the designs of Michael Glassman, Gilmer's cohost on Backyard Living, whose dramatic style and attention to detail is well suited to small spaces and urban living. The use of water to bring noise and movement to the garden and lighting to capture night views are signature Glassman, as are pots filled with flowers and expert hardscaping.
Gilmer gives clear and thorough advice to aid in plant choices. If your space is limited, it is especially important to choose trees, shrubs, and flowers that look their best most of the year or are so fabulous that they earn their garden space through sheer flamboyance.
Gardening is a game of choices, and this book should help us play "less is more" thoughtfully and intelligently, without a sense of deprivation. --Valerie Easton
Book Description
Gardening guru Maureen Gilmer offers design ideas that translate well into any garden for every budget--even a postage-stamp backyard or terrace can become an urban oasis of water and color. Amazing before-and-after shots prove that garden fantasies can--and have--become reality.

Women Who Live Evil Lives: Gender, Religion, and the Politics of Power in Colonial Guatemala, 1650-1750
Martha Few Manufacturer: University of Texas Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0292725493 |
Book Description
"This is a significant intellectual contribution that has the additional merit of being thoroughly readable and appealing to a broad [audience].... The case studies are riveting, detailed with intensely personal, often sexually and socially charged examples, and clearly integrated with Few's overarching theoretical and conceptual framework. This is wonderful historical ethnographic material."
Grant D. Jones, author of The Conquest of the Last Maya Kingdom
Women Who Live Evil Lives documents the lives and practices of mixed-race, Black, Spanish, and Maya women sorcerers, spell-casters, magical healers, and midwives in the social relations of power in Santiago de Guatemala, the capital of colonial Central America. Men and women from all sectors of society consulted them to intervene in sexual and familial relations and disputes between neighbors and rival shop owners; to counter abusive colonial officials, employers, or husbands; and in cases of inexplicable illness.
Applying historical, anthropological, and gender studies analysis, Martha Few argues that women's local practices of magic, curing, and religion revealed opportunities for women's cultural authority and power in colonial Guatemala. Few draws on archival research conducted in Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain to shed new light on women's critical public roles in Santiago, the cultural and social connections between the capital city and the countryside, and the gender dynamics of power in the ethnic and cultural contestation of Spanish colonial rule in daily life.

A must have book for anyone visiting Antigua, Guatemala!.......2004-02-04
I became smitten with Antigua while on a holiday from missions work in December 1995. What began as an innocent walking tour with Elizabeth Bell, became a lifelong love of this beautiful city and her people. With Bell's book (and candle, in case night set in), I visited almost every building or ruin and soaked up the romance of this beautiful city.
After marrying in 2002, the only choice for our "luna de miel" or honeymoon...Antigua, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And of course, we packed Elizabeth's book.
