A crash course in the history of architecture.
Following Under the Witching Tree, this second book in a trilogy by folk herbalist Corinne Boyer explores the magical and medicinal applications of the plants of the wayside--those liminal places where the wild meets the unkempt and forgotten landscapes of humankind. This book presents a wealth of hands-on practices exploring charms, spells, recipes, and rites.

The story of Jesus first public miracle, John 2:111. This wonderful story is the first recorded miracle of Jesus when He was on earth, and it marks the first time His mother, His disciples, and others saw His divine glory in action. It strengthened their faith and confirmed their belief that He was the Son of God.
Half An Arch is the compelling autobiography of one of the most distinctive English writers of the late twentieth century, Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy. In The Rise and Fall of the English Nanny, The Public School Phenomenon, and Doctors, Gathorne-Hardy explored three apparently familiar institutions with unprecedented originality and depth. Now the biographer of writer and adventurer Gerald Brenan and American sexologist Alfred Kinsey brings the same rigour, perception and sensitivity to bear on the story of his own life, as he chronicles, vividly but without sentimentality, the brutal decline in the fortunes of the clever and colourful Gathorne-Hardy family in the aftermath of two world wars.
