Bizarre Botanicals
Author: Paula Gross
Publisher: Timber Press
ISBN: 1604690763
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Gardeners love tulips, lilies, and pansies—the common, but beautiful, plants found in the average garden. But there are realms in the plant world far beyond these familiar favorites. In Bizarre Botanicals, plant experts Larry Mellichamp and Paula Gross take readers on a curious botanical journey of weirdly wonderful plants that can be grown at home. Bizarre Botanicals features over 75 astonishing plants that have extraordinary abilities—from pyrotechnic spores that can burst into flame when ignited to flowers that lure insects to their deaths. Each plant profile includes essential care and cultivation information. A difficulty scale alerts gardeners to how easy (or difficult) it is to grow the plant at home. There’s no reason to forsake lilies and petunias. But after reading Bizarre Botanicals, gardeners will want to take a walk on the weird side and try a few of these peculiar plants for themselves.

My Four Seasons
Author: Danila Sigal Terranova
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467056650
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
My Four Seasons is a testimony of life. A personal diary transformed into a profound but also fun lecture about how to face an illness with a positive mind; describing how the family and the friends play the most important role in recovery. Having an illness doesnt mean we are ill this is the most definite message this book leaves us with. Its a message of hope and pragmatism about how to cope with difficult moments in our life, which appear suddenly. Those typical moments when we ask ourselves: Why me? instead of: Now what? What constructive learning can we extract from every experience? This is a book, which, those who dont like reading, actually read it in one shot, and those who do enjoy books may even read it more than once. Refreshing and meaningful, it will bring memories of what is a priority in life and the values that fade away in our hectic day-to-day, in the middle of traffic, during the competitive professional race, in the search for financial stability all valid elements in our earthly life, but which cannot be lived in isolation from our internal and spiritual world. Being happy is in our hands; its the attitude that makes the difference. We can choose to surrender to death, or we can choose to live. We can fall and stay there, or we can choose to get up! To all those men and women who have the sad experience of going through an illness experience, know that we can heal ourselves, by regaining the balance and harmony among mind, body and spirit. Hopefully this story, together with so many other testimonies out there, will help diminish the suffering of all those who are just now starting their own journey.

One-Hit Wonders
Author: Sarah Hill
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501368435
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The one-hit wonder has a long and storied history in popular music, exhorting listeners to dance, to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, to ponder mortality, to get a job, to bask in the sunshine, or just to get up and dance again. Catchy, memorable, irritating, or simply ubiquitous, one-hit wonders capture something of the mood of a time. This collection provides a series of short, sharp chapters focusing on one-hit wonders from the 1950s to the present day, with a view toward understanding both the mechanics of success and the socio-musical contexts within which such songs became hits. Some artists included here might have aspired to success but only managed one hit, while others enjoyed lengthy, if unremarkable, careers after their initial chart success. Put together, these chapters provide not only a capsule history of popular music tastes, but also ruminations on the changing nature of the music industry and the mechanics of fame.

7 Principles to Become Your Own Superhero

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
If you dare to become your own Superhero, rest assured that life will never be the same! In her twenty years as a nurse, Michelle Heath witnessed an incredible amount of pain and suffering. Overweight, with uncontrolled high blood pressure and unhappy, Heath believed she had nothing to do with the mess her life was in. It wasn't until she realized that she wasn't simply an innocent bystander in her own life that she began to take control. Written as part of Heath's own healing and as a means to help others on their own path to inner freedom and peace, 7 Principles to Become Your Own Superhero is a real-life book that explains how to find-and love-the Superhero inside of you. Heath's seven principles are aimed at women who understand that there are no quick fixes. Change will occur only by re-programming the way you think. I enjoyed this book. I like your candor, clarity and talent. -Maya Angelou The powerful messages in 7 Principles to Become Your Own Superhero acknowledge how difficult it is for women to change behaviors and thought processes hammered into their heads for centuries. Even when it doesn't feel right, women continue to do things they know are wrong. Poetry by Lissette Norman

Book Description
There was a little girl living a secret life, a life of repeated abuse, a little girl whose own mother walked off and left her to fend for herself. She lived with these secrets for years never knowing what it was like to love or how to be loved. She went through life as a shadow always following and never doing. She locked herself away in her mind so she wouldn't have to think or cope with everyday life. She felt she had no one to turn to, no one to help her, so she suffered silently. After years of sorrow and a life darkened by abuse, God introduced Himself in a marvelous way. He offered her a way out of the cloud that covered her from the abuse. He has helped her rise above the abuse and walk in a glorious light paved with His love.
