Welleran Poltarnees Manufacturer: Laughing Elephant ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 1883211468 |
Book Description
Cats have lived among us as friends for at least 8000 years. At first the relationship was one of mutual service - the cat exchanging rodent control for a warm place to sleep. The interdependence has grown deeper and subtler with the passage of time. In this volume Welleran Poltarnees speaks of the traits he values in cats, among which are: grace, dignity, self-reliance, creative playfulness and mystery. Each of his eloquent statements is accompanied by two pictures. Some of the artists included are: Steinlen, Renoir, Foyita, George Stubbs, Henriette Ronner-Knip, Oliver Herford, A.E. Kennedy, Edwin Noble. and Louis Wain.

A Dog Blessing
Welleran Poltarnees Manufacturer: Laughing Elephant ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 1883211476 |
Book Description
Dogs are our oldest friends. When a wolf first came to crouch by our fire, cats were wild beasts searching out their own prey, and horses still ran at the first sniff of our approach. Welleran Poltarnees has a lifelong love for dogs, and here in this book he distills his love for them into words. He praises them for their unwavering love, their ready sympathy, their fresh delight in simple pleasures, and their sometimes unconscious humor. He has made each statement more resonant by the addition of pictures, frequently from obscure sources.Customer Reviews:

Blessings on the Sheep Dog
Gerda Saunders ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: B000HWYQSS |
Book Description
From the violent world of apartheid South Africa to the supposed immigrant haven of the United States, the people in Saunders's debut story collection brave life's big questions about connection, displacement, death, love, race, and justice. Grappling with feelings too disturbing to articulate, they turn to anthropology or math, music or cosmology, to make sense of the dissonance around them. More often than not, the only truth they find is that life is a complicated dance, and doing the right thing a moment by moment decision.In "We'll Get to Now Later" Stan, a guilt-stricken white South African immigrant confronts his apartheid past when he meets a Zulu dancer traveling with a circus in the United States; in "Pig Day" Jared, an American teenager, accidentally kills his best friend Nick, the son of a Romanian immigrant, and is co-opted by the bereaved father to build a coffin; and in "A Sudden New City" Heila, a mentally frail and physically faltering white South African grandmother, drives a tractor into a black crowd as revenge for her husband Jacob's infidelity across the color line.
The voices we hear in Saunders's stories are male, female, young, old, American, South African, Romanian. In richly textured prose, they attest to moments as sublime as the music of the spheres or depict images of earth bound brutality bloody as a goat's severed head on a pike. In the tradition of Nadine Goridmer and Norman Rush, but with its own sense of comedy and metaphor, Blessings on the Sheep Dog is a wizardly act of ventriloquism to listen to, relish, remember.

A Jewel of a Book.......2003-09-01
The writer stated out gardening in Australia where seasons change abruptly, there are long spells of 30 degree heat and the sunlight is strong and harsh. Given the opportunity to restore an English garden blessed or cursed with the English damp and misty climate she says "I did not even have the sense to be terrified."
Where she found the energy to create and maintain, even with paid staff, TWO such gardens, and write a book I cannot imagine - but I'm glad she did. (Maybe she had nothing to do on the plane flying back and forth.) This is one of those rare boos that delivers exactly what the title promises; in this case how light and colour in two very different locations affect the choices made in landscape design and plant selection.
The writer has organized her material into eight chapters. The first five each feature a colour, or related group of colours and offer ideas on how best to incorporate them. Chapter Six, "A Rainbow Garden" is about potager gardening and working with the colours of vegetables and herbs. The last two chapters, "Light, Shade and Colour" and "Sparkling Light" talk about ways to work with the colours that already exist around the garden - the house walls, the colour of the soil, the foliage of large trees, shady places, winter light and the light reflected from water.
The tone of the book is light and conversational. The writer is knowledgeable without being infallible. She explains some of her mistakes and what she has learned from them so the reader is less likely to spend time energy and money making similar mistakes.
The illustrations are sensational, possibly the best I've seen in a gardening book. Not only are they great photography but they actually relate to he text.
This is a book both to enjoy and to learn from. Buy it for yourself or as a gift for a gardening friend..
Excellent Reference for the Color Challenged!.......2001-07-23
The artist has an eye for structure and design.
These gardens actually sing!
Because the writer is so conscious of these design elements- they are depicted in the choice of photographs and discussed within the chapters. The size of the garden is discussed and tips to avoid Dull, dreary gardens are discussed chapter after chapter.
These gardens create a mood which will be very helpful to anyone trying to choose what they want to do with their gardening space.
Another book- that I would NOT PART WITH!
