Download or read book Celebrate the Seasons written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Liz Chappell returned to the New England area of northern New South Wales, to a garden cultivated by her mother and grandmother before her, she found Australian gardening advice did not prepare her for the challenges of this climate. Plants hardy to drought would not withstand frosts to minus 15 degrees, in spring as well as winter. Torrential summer downpours drowned many more. Few Australian native shrubs could adapt to severe cold conditions.Over twenty years Liz and her husband Elton have created a diverse and much admired garden of abundant roses, perennial borders and exotic trees. Liz learned there was indeed a wealth of ornamental plants which would thrive in her garden. All the while, Liz kept a journal of gardens visited, plants admired and of course every addition, trial and triumph in her own garden. Now she brings this experience and the collective wisdom of many other gardeners across New England together in "Celebrate the Seasons." This gardening memoir is like chatting to a friend over the kitchen table: seasoned gardeners will smile as they share her journey; those just beginning to garden in New England will revel in the earthy, practical advice. Kim Woods-Rabbidge brings the perception of an artist and gardener to her sensitive photographs capturing the nuances of changing seasons in many of the finest gardens of New England; from spring bulbs thrusting through icy ground; the relentless sunshine and sudden storms of mid-summer; gentle mellowness of autumn leaves to the austere, frost-rimed winter gardens. Underlining the narrative is a chronology of gardens in the district, from the historic stations of Salisbury Court at Uralla and Ollera at Guyra to the bold, contemporary prairie gardens of Carolyn Robinson's Glenrock at Tenterfield.

Download or read book We are what We Celebrate written by Amitai Etzioni and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday become a national holiday? Why do we exchange presents on Christmas and Chanukah? What do bunnies have to do with Easter? How did Earth Day become a global holiday? These questions and more are answered in this fascinating exploration into the history and meaning of holidays and rituals. Edited by Amitai Etzioni, one of the most influential social and political thinkers of our time, this collection provides a compelling overview of the impact that holidays and rituals have on our family and communal life. From community solidarity to ethnic relations to religious traditions, We Are What We Celebrate argues that holidays such as Halloween, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve, and Valentine's Day play an important role in reinforcing, and sometimes redefining, our values as a society. The collection brings together classic and original essays that, for the first time, offer a comprehensive overview and analysis of the important role such celebrations play in maintaining a moral order as well as in cementing family bonds, building community relations and creating national identity. The essays cover such topics as the creation of Thanksgiving as a national holiday; the importance of holidays for children; the mainstreaming of Kwanzaa; and the controversy over Columbus Day celebrations. Compelling and often surprising, this look at holidays and rituals brings new meaning to not just the ways we celebrate but to what those celebrations tell us about ourselves and our communities.

Whiteside, and Anna Day Wilde.
