Bright with Silver
Author: Kathrene Sutherland Gedney Pinkerton
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1839740485
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Bright with Silver, first published in 1947, it has been nearly sixty years since Kathrene Pinkerton wrote Bright with Silver. This study of the famous Fromm brothers and their endeavor and persistence to breed a very rare and valuable type of fox would become a landmark history of American entrepreneurship. The simple beauty and elegance of the silver fox would be the fulfillment of the brothers' struggles to build a fur breeding empire. The story of the Fromm brothers that Pinkerton provides is a classic study of ingenuity and stick-to-itiveness that for so many years became a trademark of these four brothers. The intricate and complex history of their endeavors began with growing ginseng. This included intense observations of the plant that would provide the conditions, which eventually yielded abundant harvests that resulted in the necessary cash to start their fur business. Of course, the main story of Pinkerton is how the dreams of a perfect silver fox culture had overtaken the Fromm's possessions, thoughts and lives. The continual endeavor to find the right strain for their silver fox breed and their devotion to medical research that would ease the ravages of disease that could plague these precious animals would be the story that Pinkerton does so very well. It is without doubt that these four brothers, Walter, Edward, John, and Henry brought to the central Wisconsin landscape a business enterprise that played a large part in the economic development of this part of the state. Their story has all the ingredients of imagination, creativity, and great business sense. This edition brings back the story of the Fromm brothers that has been long gone, and sorely missed from the Wisconsin literary scene. Included are 32 pages of photographs.

The Lotus and the Stars
Author: Rob MacGregor
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 172527261X
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In The Lotus and the Stars, the disciplines of yoga and astrology are intertwined to allow practitioners to draw on the energies of the sun signs and the planets through specific yoga postures. Possess the energy of Aries, the ambitions of Capricorn, or the spiritual insight of Pisces. Practice other postures to gain the mental agility of Gemini, the intensity and sexuality of Scorpio, or the creativity of Aquarius. Whatever sun sign is targeted or whichever attribute is needed, this groundbreaking method helps the body become a vehicle for transforming one’s life. The Lotus and the Stars is simple enough for the yoga novice, but even experienced yoga practitioners will find new meaning in standards such as the sun salutation when they see how the intent associated with a posture can enhance the benefit. The Lotus and the Stars is a natural blending of two ancient and popular disciplines that are directed to the same goal: discovering and empowering the self. In this book, readers learn how to draw on the energy associated with each sign. To do this, instructions for personalizing workouts - plus modifications for different levels of flexibility, time available, and personal preferences and needs - are included throughout. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of the techniques with true stories of students who have found astro-yoga helpful in their lives. They also suggest ways to use the workouts to handle common situations and problems.
