Book Lord of California

    Book Details:
  • Author : Andrew Valencia
  • Publisher : Ig Publishing
  • Release : 2018-01-30
  • ISBN : 9781632460592
  • Pages : 284 pages

Download or read book Lord of California written by Andrew Valencia and published by Ig Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A remarkable debut. Valencia writes with a sinuous maturity, a boldness of vision far beyond his years. In Lord of California, this beyond-seeing is literal: wild, impressive, at times menacing invention about what a separatist California might look like begins to look downright prescient, and Valencia's portraitist skill with his characters lifts them off the page, too."--Ryan McIlvain, author of Elders Set in a future where the United States has dissolved and California is its own independent republic, Lord of California follows the struggles of the Temple family as they work at running a farm on a nationalized land parcel in the central San Joaquin Valley. When the family patriarch, Elliot, dies, it's revealed that he had been keeping five separate families, and in the aftermath of their discovery, his widows and children must come together to keep from losing all they have. But their livelihood is threatened when Elliot's estranged son tries to blackmail them, unleashing a series of violent confrontations between different factions of the family. A sparse family drama reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy, combined with the intimate first-person narratives of Kazuo Ishiguro, Lord of California is a powerful debut novel. Andrew Valencia was born in Fresno, California, and graduated with a BA in English from Stanford, where he was awarded a Levinthal Tutorial by the Creative Writing Program. He holds an MFA in fiction from the University of South Carolina, and his work has appeared or is forthcoming in Silk Road Review, the Ploughshares blog, Day One, The Southern Pacific Review, The Fat City Review, Crack the Spine, and other publications.

Book Handbook of Environmental Physiology of Fruit Crops

Download or read book Handbook of Environmental Physiology of Fruit Crops written by Bruce Schaffer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994-08-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting handbook is devoted solely to the effects of environmental variables on the physiology of the world's major fruit and nut crops. Its cosmopolitan scope includes chapters on tropical and sub-tropical species written by scientists from several continents. The influence of environmental factors, such as irradiance, temperature, water and salinity on plant physiology and on vegetative and reproductive growth, is comprehensively discussed for each crop. In addition to being a thorough textbook, the organization of this volume makes it an excellent reference tool. Each chapter focuses on a single crop, or a group of genetically or horticulturally related crop, and is appropriately divided into subsections that address individual environmental factors. Some chapters emphasize whole-plant physiology and plant growth and development, while other chapters feature theoretical aspects of plant physiology. Several chapters provide botanical background discussions to enhance understanding of the crop's response to its environment.

Book The Speedy Vegetable Garden

Download or read book The Speedy Vegetable Garden written by Mark Diacono and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically, vegetable gardening is about the long view: peas sown in spring aren't harvested until summer, and tomatoes started indoors in February can't be eaten until July. But it's not true for all plants. Some things can be planted and eaten in weeks, days, even hours. The Speedy Vegetable Garden highlights more than 50 quick crops, with complete information on how to sow, grow, and harvest each plant, and sumptuous photography that provides inspiration and a visual guide for when to harvest. In addition to instructions for growing, it also provides recipes that highlight each crop’s unique flavor, like Chickpea sprout hummus, stuffed tempura zucchini flowers, and a paella featuring calendula. Sprouted seeds are the fastest. Microgreens can be harvested in weeks: cilantro, 14 days after planting; arugula and fennel in 10 days. And a handful of vegetable varieties grow more quickly than their slower relatives, like dwarf French beans (60 days), cherry tomatoes (65 days), and early potatoes (75 days). The Speedy Vegetable Garden puts fresh, seed-to-table food at your fingertips, fast!

Book Handbook on Citrus Fruits Cultivation and Oil Extraction

This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citrus fruits are produced all around the world. They contain healthy nutrition content that works wonders for the body. Citrus fruits act as a fabulous source of vitamin C and a wide range of essential nutrients required by the body. India only represents a mere 4% of global citrus fruit production. But now a day, there is a rise in its cultivation. This rise in citrus production is mainly due to the increase in cultivation areas & the change in consumer preferences towards more health & convenience food consumption & the rising incomes. Citrus fruits have long been valued as part of a nutritious and tasty diet. The flavours provided by citrus are among the most preferred in the world, and it is increasingly evident that citrus not only tastes good, but is also good for people. It is well established that citrus and citrus products are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber (non starch polysaccharides) that are essential for normal growth and development and overall nutritional well being. However, it is now beginning to be appreciated that these and other biologically active, non nutrient compounds found in citrus and other plants (phytochemicals) can also help to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. Appropriate dietary guidelines and recommendations that encourage the consumption of citrus fruit and their products can lead to widespread nutritional benefits across the population. All citrus fruit is acid fruit. The acid fruits are the most detoxifying fruits and excellent foods. Lemon oil is obtained from the fruits of citrus Limonum, Risso (Rutaceae). Although the majority of commercially available essential oils are extracted from the original botanical material by use of steam distillation, most citrus essential oils are extracted by pressing the rinds of the citrus fruits. The oil of sweet orange is obtained from the fruits of citrus Aurantium Risso and the oil of bitter orange from fruits of citrus Bigaradia Risso (Auranciacae). Orange Essential Oil is energizing and is usually well loved by men, women and children. Citrus fruit oils are cheaper than most other essential oils. Lemon or sweet orange oils that are obtained as by products of the citrus industry are even cheaper. Some of the fundamentals of the book are botanical classification, classification of genus citrus, criteria for citrus classification, information on important citrus fruits, subgenus fucitrus (edible citrus fruits), citrus cultivation, citrus fruits, kinnow mandarin, citrus fruit breeding, soil inspection for citrus family, nutrition for citrus world, proper harvesting of citrus, post harvesting of citrus fruits, etc. This handbook on citrus fruits provides relevant information on most citrus crops, the basics of citriculture & production, pre & post harvest management, picking, storage etc. Selected topics on oil extraction of citrus fruits are also given to provide knowledge of the techniques used. This book will be helpful for technocrats, farmers, research scholar, institutions etc. TAGS Bergamot essential oil, Bergamot essential oil extraction, Business guidance for citrus fruits industry, Business guidance for oil extraction from citrus fruits, Business Plan for Lemon Production, Citrus Based Small Scale Industries Projects, Citrus cultivation, Citrus Essential Oils Extraction, Citrus Farming Business Startup Business, Citrus fruit oil extraction, Citrus fruits - Fruits & Vegetables, Citrus fruits business, Citrus fruits cultivation, Citrus fruits cultivation Processing Industry in India, Citrus Fruits Harvesting, Citrus fruits list, Citrus Fruits Planting, Citrus fruits processing business, Citrus fruits Processing Profitable Projects, Citrus production, Citrus production in India, Cultivation technology of Kinnow (Citrus), Extraction methods of natural essential oils, Extraction of bergamot essential oil, Extraction of Bergamot Oil, Extraction of Lemon Oil, Extraction of mandarin oil, Extraction of Orange Oil, Green mandarin oil extraction, Growing Citrus Fruits, Growing citrus trees, How to extract Bergamot Oil, How to Extract Lemon Oil, How to Extract Mandarin Oil, How to Extract Oil from Citrus Fruits, How to Extract Oil from Fruit Peels, How to extract oil from mandarin peels, How to Extract Oil from the Skin of Oranges, How to Extract Orange Oil, How to grow Citrus Fruits, How to Grow Lots of Fruit on Your Citrus Trees, How to make citrus essential oil, How to Make Orange Oil, How to plant a lemon tree, How to Plant an Orange Tree, How to prepare citrus fruit, How to start a citrus fruits farm?, How to Start a Citrus fruits Production Business, How to start a successful citrus fruits business, How to Start Citrus fruits cultivation Industry in India, Kinnow Mandarin cultivation, Lemon cultivation, Lemon Farming - A Profitable Business, Lemon oil (Citrus limonum), Lemon oil extract uses, Lemon Oil Extraction (limonene), Lemon tree planting, Lime Farming - Citrus Farming Guide, List of citrus fruits and vegetables, Mandarin cultivation, Mandarin Essential Oil, Methods of Extracting Essential Oils, Mosambi cultivation, Most Profitable Citrus fruits cultivation Business Ideas, New small scale ideas in Citrus fruits cultivation industry, Opening a Citrus Fruits Business, Orange cultivation, Orchad cultivation, Profitable Small Scale citrus fruits cultivation and oil extraction business, Pummelo cultivation, Setting up and opening your citrus fruits Business, Setting up of citrus fruits Processing Units, Small Scale Citrus fruits cultivation Projects, Small scale citrus fruits production line, Small scale Commercial citrus fruits Industry, Sour Lime cultivation, Starting a citrus farm, Starting a Citrus fruits cultivation Business, Start-up Business Plan for citrus fruits, Startup Project for citrus fruits business, Sweet Lime cultivation, Ways to Extract Oil from Orange Peels
