Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Apple Trees I am quite certain that the majority of my readers would have me always stick to natural history themes. I sympathize with them. I am myself never so well pleased as when I can bring them a fresh bit of natural history, or give them a day with me in the fields and woods or along the murmuring streams. Birds and squirrels come home to us all in a way that speculative ideas do not. While writing my more philosophical dissertations, my mind often turns longingly toward the simple outdoor subjects which have engaged me so many years, and doubtless the mind of my reader does also when he is perusing them. But one cannot always choose at such times. Natural history is a matter of observation; it is a harvest which you gather when and where you find it growing. Birds and squirrels and flowers are not always in season, but philosophy we have always with us. It is a crop which we can grow and reap at all times and in all places, and it has its own value and brings its own satisfaction. We are all philosophers, we all delight in finding the reason of things and in tracing the relation of things, and to know, for instance, what part chance plays in our lives, and what part is played by rigid law, is a worthy and engaging problem.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apple-Tree: The Open Country Books No; 1 The wind is snapping in the bamboos, knocking together the resonant canes and weaving the myriad flexile wreaths above them. The palm heads rustle with a brisk crinkling music. Great ferns stand in the edge of the forest, and giant arums cling their arms about the trunks of trees and rear their dim jacks-in-the-pulpit far in the branches; and in the greater distance I know that green parrots are flying in twos from tree to tree. The plant forms are strange and various, making mosaic of contrasting range of leaf-size and leaf-shape, palm and grass and fern, epiphyte and liana and clumpy mistletoe, of grace and clumsiness and even misproportion, a tall thick landscape all mingled into a symmetry of disorder that charms the attention and fascinates the eye. It is a soft and delicious air wherein I sit. A torrid drowse is in the receding landscape. The people move leisurely, as befits the world where there is no preparation for frost and no urgent need of laborious apparel. There are tardy bullock-carts, unconscious donkeys, and men pushing vehicles. There are odd products and unaccustomed cakes and cookies on little stands by the roadside, where the turbaned vendor sits on the ground unconcernedly.

Download or read book How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe Enhanced Edition written by Charles Yu and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enhanced eBook includes video, audio, photographic, and linked content, as well as a bonus short story. Hear TAMMY talk. Learn the origins of Minor Universe 31. See the TM-31. Take a trip in it. Photos and illustrations appear as hyperlinked endnotes. Video and audio are embedded directly in text. *Video and audio may not play on all readers. Check your user manual for details. National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Award winner Charles Yu delivers his debut novel, a razor-sharp, ridiculously funny, and utterly touching story of a son searching for his father . . . through quantum space–time. Minor Universe 31 is a vast story-space on the outskirts of fiction, where paradox fluctuates like the stock market, lonely sexbots beckon failed protagonists, and time travel is serious business. Every day, people get into time machines and try to do the one thing they should never do: change the past. That’s where Charles Yu, time travel technician—part counselor, part gadget repair man—steps in. He helps save people from themselves. Literally. When he’s not taking client calls or consoling his boss, Phil, who could really use an upgrade, Yu visits his mother (stuck in a one-hour cycle of time, she makes dinner over and over and over) and searches for his father, who invented time travel and then vanished. Accompanied by TAMMY, an operating system with low self-esteem, and Ed, a nonexistent but ontologically valid dog, Yu sets out, and back, and beyond, in order to find the one day where he and his father can meet in memory. He learns that the key may be found in a book he got from his future self. It’s called How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and he’s the author. And somewhere inside it is the information that could help him—in fact it may even save his life. Wildly new and adventurous, Yu’s debut is certain to send shock waves of wonder through literary space–time.
Download or read book Canker of Apple Trees Classic Reprint written by Heinrich Hasselbring and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canker of Apple Trees The Illinois apple tree canker occurs on the large limbs and trunks of apple trees. It produces extended blackened areas within which the bark cracks and finally crumbles away. This always results in the death of the affected limb. Pp. 227-233. The fungus causing the canker is a wound parasite gaining entrance into the tree through wounds caused by pruning or by accidental injuries. P. 233. The best means of preventing the disease is to avoid as much as possible all injury to the bark, to prune properly, and to paint wounds with an antisceptic solution. Badly diseased limbs should be cut and burned. P.234. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Old Southern Apples written by Creighton Lee Calhoun and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book that became an instant classic when it first appeared in 1995, Old Southern Apples is an indispensable reference for fruit lovers everywhere, especially those who live in the southern United States. Out of print for several years, this newly revised and expanded edition now features descriptions of some 1,800 apple varieties that either originated in the South or were widely grown there before 1928. Author Lee Calhoun was one of the foremost figures in apple conservation in America. This masterwork reflects his knowledge and personal experience over more than thirty years, as he sought out and grew hundreds of classic apples, including both legendary varieties (like Nickajack and Magnum Bonum) and little-known ones (like Buff and Cullasaga). Representing our common orchard heritage, many of these apples are today at risk of disappearing from our national table. Illustrated with more than 120 color images of classic apples from the National Agricultural Library’s collection of watercolor paintings, Old Southern Apples is a fascinating and beautiful reference and gift book. In addition to A-to-Z descriptions of apple varieties, both extant and extinct, Calhoun provides a brief history of apple culture in the South, and includes practical information on growing apples and on their traditional uses.

Download or read book The Apple Culturist Classic Reprint written by Sereno Edwards Todd and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apple Culturist The apple that vies with the peach and the grape. - edwards. From early boyhood the writer of this little treatise has been practically engaged, more or less every year, in the propagation of apple-trees and the management of orchards. As there is no little manual on Apple Orchards in all our agricultural and pomolog ical literature which a beginner may study as a reliable guide in every branch of apple culture, and as the author in early life was obliged to advance from one step to another, in the rearing and management of apple-trees, by the slow and often uncertain way of determining the better practices by experiments, he feels war ranted in preparing a small volume, in which are embodied the successful results of the experience of more than forty years. Most of the works on pomology are either too voluminous and expensive to meet all the requirements of men who need a cheap book containing brief directions for beginners, or the writers have assumed that their readers already possess a pretty correct under standing of that branch of pomology which treats of the correct mode of propagating apple-trees, and the most satisfactory manner of managing apple orchards in order to produce profitable crops of fruit.
