The Haunted Garden
Author: Michael Closz
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
These poems represent the author's tour in Vietnam and the years following his return. It reflects a view of the war from the perspective of soldiers and sailors who fought both physically as well as those who were involved in the logistical support. It illustrates the horrors of combat and the frustration of coming home to an unknown and berating nation. It reveals stories of the author's adventures and those of others in the endless struggle to get back to the"World." For many of those who were in battle, it demonstrates the endless engagement to ward off the ceaseless number of dreams as well as horrific memories. In addition, it reveals the countless number of support professionals from R&R flight attendants and nurses to special operations personnel. Perhaps most important is providing a glimpse of the war through the eyes of a soldier.

The Ghost In The Garden
Author: Jude Piesse
Publisher: Scribe Publications
ISBN: 1925938875
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
The forgotten garden which inspired Charles Darwin becomes the modern-day setting for an exploration of memory, family, and the legacy of genius. Darwin never stopped thinking about the garden at his childhood home, The Mount. It was here, under the tutelage of his green-fingered mother and sisters, that he first examined the reproductive life of flowers, collected birds’ eggs, and began the experiments that would lead to his theory of evolution. A century and a half later, with one small child in tow and another on the way, Jude Piesse finds herself living next door to this secret garden. Two acres of the original site remain, now resplendent with overgrown ashes, sycamores, and hollies. The carefully tended beds and circular flower garden are buried under suburban housing; the hothouses where the Darwins and their skilful gardeners grew pineapples are long gone. Walking the pathways with her new baby, Piesse starts to discover what impact the garden and the people who tended it had on Darwin’s work. Blending biography, nature writing, and memoir, The Ghost in the Garden traces the origins of the theory of evolution and uncovers the lost histories that inspired it, ultimately evoking the interconnectedness of all things.

The Wicked, Wicked Ladies in the Haunted House
Author: Mary Chase
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 1101934964
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Maureen Swanson is the scourge of the neighborhood. At age nine, she already has a reputation as a hard slapper, a loud laugher, a liar, and a stay-after-schooler. The other kids call her Stinky. So sometimes when Maureen passes the crumbling (and haunted?) Messerman mansion, she imagines that she is Maureen Messerman–rich, privileged, and powerful. Then she finds a way into the forbidden, boarded-up house. In the hall are portraits of seven young women wearing elaborate gowns and haughty expressions. Maureen has something scathing to say to each one, but then she notices that the figures seem to have shifted in their frames. So she reaches out her finger to touch the paint–just to make sure–and touches . . . silk! These seven daughters of privilege are colder and meaner than Maureen ever thought to be. They are wicked, wicked ladies, and Maureen has something they want. . . .
