Book Description

For fans of The Tulip and Orchid Fever, a captivating account of big business, adventure and family intrigue in the horticultural world.

For over a century and across five generations, one Scottish family pioneered the introduction of hundreds of new plants into gardens, conservatories and houses and became the foremost European cultivators and hybridizers of their day. The story begins in 1768 when a Scotsman named John Veitch went to England to find his fortune, starting out as a gardener for the aristocracy. Realizing that horticultural mania had begun to spread throughout the population, Veitch and his wife opened a nursery and began to send the first commercial plant collectors to North and South America, Australia, India, Japan, China and the South Seas. These plant collectors were among the first people allowed into the countries of the Far East and the tales of their travels, many of them perilous and some fatal, are wonderful adventure stories. Combining an historian's eye for detail with a flair for storytelling, the author charts the fortunes of one family and through them tells the fascinating story of the modern garden.

Thorough.......2003-10-06

This is the story of the Veitch family who, for five generations, pioneered the introduction of hundreds of new plants into the homes and gardens of England and Europe.

John Veitch, the patriarch of this family of nurserymen, left lowland Scotland as a lad for London where he learned the nursery business. He then moved to Exeter where he was employed to design and later maintain the landscape of a grand park belonging to Sir Thomas Dyke of Acland. On the recommendation of Sir Thomas he designed other parks around the country and, still in charge of the Acland estate, grew trees in his own nursery and sold them to his clients. His son, James inherited this entrepreneurial spirit and flair for plant propagation and he opened a new, larger nursery in the centre of Exeter. James' son, James Junior, later built a large and fashionable nursery in London to expand the family's plant empire. From these nurseries the Veitches sent out plant hunters to North and South America, Japan, China, India and the South Seas. Their most famous collectors were the brothers William and Thomas Lobb who overcame immense difficulties to discover unknown plants and send them home to England. Once in Veitch's hands they were coaxed back to health after the rigors of the voyage, propagated and likely also hybridized - the Veitches produced the first orchid hybrid.

Thorough.......2003-10-06

This is the story of the Veitch family who, for five generations, pioneered the introduction of hundreds of new plants into the homes and gardens of England and Europe.

The story of the Veitch family, and the Lobbs, sheds light on a fascinating era in garden history when the variety of plants available to the gardener was expanding rapidly and gardening itself expanded to the growing middle classes in the cities. The book is well researched and thorough, although one gets the sense that the writer was slightly swamped by her topic and included rather too much detail. It makes for a somewhat tedious read and has the feel of a thesis, rather than the thoroughly good tale it might have been.

SEEDS OF LUCK: The ABCs of Creating Your Heart's Desires By Isaac E. Nwokogba ISBN: 1-58820-103-1 1st Books Library, www.1stbooks.com December 2000 Release

The author, Isaac Nwokogba is well educated in the fields of nature's law and its principles. He has published several books that deal with spirituality and he holds a master's degree in business from Southwest Texas State University. This talented author resides in Southern California. Mr. Nwokogba's book SEEDS OF LUCK is a fantastic read. Each chapter helps you, the reader, find your spiritual space. He includes step-by-step, practical ways for creating your own luck and keeping it! One of my favorite chapters is Chapter Six: Meditation and Self-Hypnosis. As a mother of three, author, reviewer, and full time day care mom, I use this technique frequently. Mr. Nwokogba explains the often confusing difference between meditation and visualization by giving examples of each. I'm certain you will find this book enjoyable, informative, and helpful. SEEDS OF LUCK clarifies why humans give up the search for their heart's desire or why something you really want never happens when you want it to. Isaac Nwokogba writes that perhaps petition is the way to bring about the things you desire instead of using religious prayer. After reading his personal thoughts and researched facts, I am left open-minded to his suggestions, but I will continue to use religious prayer none-the-less. Faith, hope, destiny, love, nature, desire and of course, luck are well-thought out subjects in Isaac Nwokogba's book SEEDS OF LUCK: The ABCs of Creating Your Heart's Desires, http://www.seedsofluck.com This book is perfect for anyone who seeks a change of luck.

Practical Suggestions for Working with Your Subconscious.......2001-04-05

Although this book does not describe its sources of inspiration in detail, my impression was that the book comes from a perspective that is consistent with Transcendental Meditation. Most of us get little nudges from our minds. Some rely on those sources of intuition and others don't. Some people visualize what they want to accomplish, and see it happen. Still others pray fervently for aid, and hope for the best. This book addresses all of the ways that you can access your subconscious mind to focus your energies and attention on what is important to you. Although I have read many books about employing the subconscious, this one had several valuable suggestions that I had not read before (such as making petitions broad, so that there are more ways for them to be fulfilled). It's major weakness is that it would have had more credibility if it had cited the research on how the subconscious mind works, as does the new edition of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.

The book provides many techniques that will be helpful to you. It describes verbal and nonverbal ways to make petitions to your subconscious mind. You will also learn ways of meditating that will help you access your subconscious mind to answer questions and to check your judgment. The book also describes helpful ways to do affirmations. You will get ideas for how to recognize when your subconscious is communicating with you.

To give you an example of how this can work, I went out for a sandwich yesterday. While I was waiting for it to be delivered to me, I suddenly felt like the food I was about to be served was unclean. I can't explain why I felt this way, but it came from my mind. When the sandwich arrived, I sniffed it carefully. It smelled all right so I ate it. Within two hours, I was hugging the toilet bowl. Something had turned out to be wrong with the food. I cannot explain how such subconscious mental processes work, but I find that such urgings are usually worth heeding. I wish I had acted more on this one!

If you have not yet learned to meditate, you should also know that research has indicated that this practice is very good for your physical and mental health.

After you learn about the methods in this book, I suggest that you think about what your life goals should be. Go back into being a child, and imagine that you can do anything. Chances are that you can accomplish much more than you are thinking about! If you find that to be the case, share this lesson with others.

Put your subconscious mind to work on worthy goals!
