Book Description
We are entering the Anthropocene's back loop, a time of release and collapse, confusion and reorientation, in which not only populations and climates are being upended but also physical and metaphysical grounds. Needed now are forms of experimentation geared toward autonomous modes of living within the back loop's new unsafe operating spaces.

Flower Seeds
Author: M. B. McDonald
Publisher: Cabi
ISBN: 9780851999067
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
The floral industry represents a significant proportion of agricultural income in several developed countries, particularly the USA, the Netherlands and Japan. Hitherto, the sheer diversity of flower seeds, in their form, function and biology, has hindered the production of a comprehensive treatment of the topic. This book provides a unique and much-needed resource of information on the biology and technology of flower seeds. It presents in-depth information on the history and evolution of the ornamental and wild flower seed industries followed by recommendations for successful breed and production programs. A comprehensive coverage of the biology of flower seeds is considered as well as appropriate technologies associated with germination, vigor and viability testing. In this volume, the first of its kind, international authorities from academia and industry have been brought together to provide a comprehensive reference resource for both practitioners and students of seed science and technology and of ornamental horticulture.

Audition Playbook
Author: Rachelle Jenkins
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578559469
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
The Audition Playbook is a two-part guide and workbook designed to help musicians of all instruments and levels efficiently and effectively plan and prepare for orchestra, band, or other ensemble auditions. No matter the goal, the Audition Playbook provides the framework upon which musicians can carefully create, implement, and follow their own plans from start to finish. Many factors go into having a successful audition and every winner will tell you about wildly different tools and secrets that set them apart from the pack. Every person--and every audition--is different. However, there are certain elements that tend to be universal among audition winners, and often, the most important factor is simply having a plan--a thoughtful, deliberate plan--and sticking with it. The Audition Playbook is not a "one-size-fits-all" template and does not set out to plan your entire audition for you. "Part One: The Guide" offers an overview of the the many different facets of audition preparation to consider and provides tools, suggestions, and exercises to implement into your own plan. "Part Two: The Workbook" provides the canvas upon which you will build your personal audition plan. Among the many topics covered: The four phases of audition preparation Goal-setting and re-setting Taking honest assessments of your technique, knowledge of the repertoire, and other skills Planning your daily and weekly practicing The development of performance skills Planning for the unexpected Recording your practice Mock auditions Writing your "Audition Day Script" Reflecting on your auditions Whether you're already a regular on the audition trail, a first-timer new to the world of auditions, or an already-established professional looking to up your game, the Audition Playbook is for you. ** Rachelle Jenkins is an accomplished horn player who has played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Montréal Symphony, Iceland Symphony, Hawaii Symphony, and many other orchestras and chamber ensembles around the world. She studied at The Colburn School, McGill University, and the University of Central Florida. Foreword by Dr. Don Greene, author of Performance Success, Audition Success, Fight Your Fear and Win, and College Prep for Musicians.

The Beneficiary

ISBN: 0399185038
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR "[A] poignant addition to the literature of moneyed glamour and its inevitable tarnish and decay…like something out of Fitzgerald or Waugh."—The New Yorker A parable for the new age of inequality: part family history, part detective story, part history of a vanishing class, and a vividly compelling exploration of the degree to which an inheritance—financial, cultural, genetic—conspired in one person's self-destruction. Land, houses, and money tumbled from one generation to the next on the eight-hundred-acre estate built by Scott's investment banker great-grandfather on Philadelphia's Main Line. There was an obligation to protect it, a license to enjoy it, a duty to pass it on—but it was impossible to know in advance how all that extraordinary good fortune might influence the choices made over a lifetime. In this warmly felt tale of an American family's fortunes, journalist Janny Scott excavates the rarefied world that shaped her charming, unknowable father, Robert Montgomery Scott, and provides an incisive look at the weight of inheritance, the tenacity of addiction, and the power of buried secrets. Some beneficiaries flourished, like Scott's grandmother, Helen Hope Scott, a socialite and celebrated horsewoman said to have inspired Katherine Hepburn's character in the play and Academy Award-winning film The Philadelphia Story. For others, including the author's father, she concludes, the impact was more complex. Bringing her journalistic talents, light touch, and crystalline prose to this powerful story of a child's search to understand a parent's puzzling end, Scott also raises questions about our new Gilded Age. New fortunes are being amassed, new estates are being born. Does anyone wonder how it will all play out, one hundred years hence?
