Описание: Information from the scientific literature, gatherers and consumers of wild greens that are an important part of the Mediterranean diet, my experience on plants growing in the wild, detailed observations on key descriptors and habitat of wild edible and poisonous plants are all that produced the knowledge provided in this book. In addition, the placement of photos along with the text helps a lot in identifying and studying the basic features of a plant's species. After that, one can identify a plant in nature safely because they already know the characteristics of that plant. Aside from the above, this book reintroduces the forgotten traditions of the Mediterranean diet, which is based on wild greens and is therefore considered a standard of healthy eating. Specifically, the following information is provided for each species of wild greens: * Common, scientific and given names by Theophrastus and Dioscorides. * Key features of identification. * Origin, distribution in countries around the world, habitat and ecology. * Edible plant parts, season of gathering, ways of eating and cooking. * Propagation. * It also informs the reader about 174 Dioscorides's plants.

Описание: Once the language of thieves and beggars, slang is an ever present part of today's culture for people across the strata. It allows us to connect to others, to express otherwise guarded thoughts, and to convey humor in the everyday. But how did slang escape its stigma as the language of the streets and integrate itself so seamlessly with "standard English?" The Vulgar Tongue tells the full story of English language slang, from its origins in early British beggar books to its spread in American and Australian culture in the eighteenth century. The aim is not to record the history of the over 125,000 English words that make up the lexis. Rather, the author focuses on the common, often profane themes that run through the word-list--crime, sex, bodily parts and functions, insults, and drink and drugs--and their scope and function throughout the various cultures and overlapping subcultures of English language history, from the sporting world to the university campus to ethnic communities. In tracing its development and trajectory throughout the English-speaking world, Jonathon Green offers an impassioned defence for its vitality, showing how slang has grown into a modern, versatile vocabulary that has nevertheless established its own role in contemporary English. Drawing on thirty years' worth of research, The Vulgar Tongue is a celebration of the words and phrases of an overlooked aspect of human language and interaction.

Описание:
Francis Barrett returns to her hometown of Storm Lake, Iowa to take care of the family holdings after her father passes. While turning his garden shed into a small but livable cottage, she runs into an old flame she admired from afar but never dared speak with during their high school days. Using her secret passion of oil painting to unwind from long days of clearing out the mess, Francis finds her father also had a secret passion and left behind a tale of a man she didn't truly know.
George Frederick McKenry never left the Midwest town where he was born other than brief travels with his four children, who he now has custody of since his ex moved into a condo with her new boyfriend. Running into the one girl from school who rebuffed him when he asked her out, G.F. can't help checking on her and making sure she's getting along alright. False assumptions and past resentments fade as Fran and G.F. let down their guards in order to create new memories.
