Country house kitchen gardens were designed as perfect ''grown your own'' environments and ensured that many households were supplied with their own fruit and vegetables throughout the year. This book offers an insight into the digging and sowing of these gardens, as well as exploring how walled gardens contributed towards a sustainable lifestyle and often were a source of not just food, but also natural medicines. A wealth of contemporary illustrations, material from archives, gardening manuals, seed catalogues, engravings and other documents, paint a vivid picture of the country house kitchen garden and its development over three and a half centuries. This delightful book recounts an important part of our historic houses and their national heritage – to be enjoyed by gardeners and non-gardeners alike.

The Trump administration violated the rights of migrant children who fled brutal violence in the Northern Triangle of Central America. Their rights are human rights. This book explores the administration''s policies and practices of family separation at the U.S. southern border and its confinement of migrant children that, in some cases, experts describe as torture. Specific connections are made between harmful actions on the part of government officials and agencies, and provisions that protect against them in The Convention on the Rights of the Child and four other UN conventions. Awareness of the violations and the safeguards afforded to children may help preserve children''s human rights. The book also examines efforts of humanitarian organizations, courts, and legislators to reclaim and defend migrant children''s rights. The author''s research includes information from international and national government documents, news reports, and interviews and stories that resulted from networking with advocates in both Arizona and Mexico. The young asylum seekers were called "criminals" and "not-innocent" by the President. However, his narrative is contradicted by vignettes that describe children''s own experiences and beliefs and by photographs of them taken by advocates in Arizona and by the author in shelters in Mexico where families await asylum.

The Good Thing About Coming Home The glossy curtain of blond hair, the cashmere coat-nobody would ever connect the fabulous Alegra Reynolds with "Al" Peterson, the grimy little poor girl who''d hated growing up on Shelter Island, in Puget Sound. There''d been nobody to share her unhappiness then and there was nobody to appreciate her success now. Or was there? Is That You''re Never Alone The island Joe Lawrence remembered was the perfect place to raise his three-year-old son, which is why the award-winning newspaperman decided to leave the bright lights and bustle of New York behind. A bit of sleuthing revealed a lot about the new Alegra, but nothing about her troubled past. Would the glamorous jet-setter touch down long enough for them to build a life together, or would she do what she''d done before-simply walk away?

Anne Wilson Schaef builds on her former bestseller, Women’s Reality, her New York Times bestseller When Society Becomes an Addict, and her multi-million copy bestseller Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much to bring us all up to date on the Women’s Movement. She explores the potentially positive impact that women can and must harness to step forward for further development of the human race and for the planet as a whole. She explores the history of the waves of the Women’s Movement and the personal, interpersonal, and cultural stoppers that have kept women from reaching their full potential. She demonstrates how women’s special talents and assets are essential for dealing with the symptoms of what has become a dysfunctional society. This book not only offers hope and opportunity for women to step up and shape a society with their unique gifts, it offers hope for the planet itself.

There is an important place in the literary world for short stories and always has been. Many of the world’s greatest spiritual leaders and teachers have done their most effective teaching in the form of short stories and parables. Who are we to ignore what they have taught us about the form or process of teaching as well as the content? In this world of overloaded focus on content, perhaps it is the awareness of changing form and process that will ultimately save us as a species and a planet. Who knows? Certainly we can leave no stone unturned in our quest to heal and grow personally, as a society, and as a planet. We need all the help we can get. Schaef is well-experienced in the world of living life, observing, and participating with others as we all attempt to bumble along together. This is a warning before you begin to read.
