Gardening enthusiasts and those who love to read about gardening will be delighted by this new collection of Elizabeth Lawrence's work. A gifted landscape architect and writer, Lawrence (1904-85) chronicled her experiences with plants in a voice treasured for its distinctive blend of horticultural expertise and stylistic elegance. Through her six books, all still in print, Lawrence continues to inspire an ever-widening circle of dedicated readers everywhere. Between 1932 and 1978, Lawrence wrote more than fifty articles for gardening magazines, newsletters, and plant society bulletins. These writings--uncovered in a seven-year search and collected here for the first time--offer further testament to her talent for conveying practical details in an engaging, literate manner. Treating such subjects as trees and shrubs, bulbs, perennials, native plants, even fellow gardeners, this collection will be welcomed by the novice and knowledgeable gardener alike. Elizabeth Lawrence, a graduate of Barnard College, was the first woman to receive a degree in landscape architecture from the North Carolina State College School of Design. Her writings were informed and inspired by her own legendary gardens in Raleigh and Charlotte.

A Garden of One’s Own
Author: Tam King-fai
Publisher: The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press
ISBN: 9629964236
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This authoritative collection contains writings by some thirty of the most significant Chinese writers of the period between 1919 and 1949. The three decades from which these pieces are drawn encompass most of the Republican period, a tumultuous era in Chinese history in which modernization and republicanism coexisted with classical culture. Thematically, these xiaopin wen, or modern Chinese essays, differ significantly from the more social and political fiction of the May Fourth movement. Their scope varies, from ruminations on broader existential issues to more personal contemplations on everyday life, often delving into issues of morality and interpersonal relations. Although described as "essays", they are not restrained by the formal, expository connotations of this English term; rather, their tone is more intimate, reflective, and at times witty or tinged with melancholy.

YOU and Your Own Universe
Author: Silviu Pristavu
Publisher: Silviu Pristavu
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
What if you found out that you’re not who you believe you are? What if I told you that you’re not who your family thinks you are? What if you’re not the person that people around you see and hear … What if the human being is, in reality, the fusing element of two worlds – physical and spiritual? What if, in the human body, you can find both physical and spiritual, where the spiritual manifests physically. What if what we call the mind, as we know it, is actually the gate through which the two worlds meet, cross, and exchange information? What You are, as a spiritual being, can’t be described in any human language. What You are can’t be seen by any human eyes. What You say can’t be heard by any physical ears. You are the awareness in you – the consciousness. You are the love, the joy, and the happiness that bursts out of you. You are the creator of your body and the creator of Your Own Universe. You are limitless. You are wealth. You are health. You are all these things combined and more. You are something that can only be felt through your physical body, and you will feel You long before you finish reading this book. This book is not religious! It doesn’t aim to favour one religion or discredit another. If anything, it’s a tool for any religion that’s been created from the beginning of humanity and helps explain phenomena that couldn’t have been explained otherwise. It supports science equally; however, it doesn’t just support theories that are based purely on physical evidence, though it may provide answers where these haven’t been found yet, if one is open to accepting a different point of view. It was written to serve as a manual for life, explaining how things become what they are and providing confidence and strength to teens getting ready to face the world on their own, and to adults who feel lost, without a purpose, and in need of guidance toward a happy life.

Tending Your Own Garden
Author: Dr. Ed Fleming
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098084128
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
While having private devotions in October 2018, I came across a verse in Song of Solomon 1:6. God’s Spirit spoke very powerfully to me on that day. Being a person who loves to be busy serving in ministry (i.e., tending others’ gardens), I had forgotten the importance of “tending my own garden,” (i.e., remembering the priority of personal piety, or holiness). I confessed my sin that day and am seeking to keep a guard over my soul. At the same time, I was praying about a topic for a pastors’ conference in South Africa in June 2019. The Holy Spirit confirmed that what was necessary in my life could be a challenge and blessing to other pastors. The night before I left to return to the USA, two of the pastors at that conference encouraged me to put the material in book form. Tending Your Own Garden is the fruit of their encouragement.
