The Graham Stuart Thomas Rose Book
This volume comprises three books by Graham Stuart Thomas that have transformed our gardens, establishing him as one of the most influential gardeners of the 20th century. The Old Shrub Roses(1955) brought to public attention the favourite roses of the early 19th century: the intensely scented Damasks, the rich and sombre Gallicas and the Albas with their unique combination of elegance and thriftiness. Shrub Roses of Today (1962) identified the species and hybrids from Japan and North America, from English and Scottish hedgerows and from the mountains of China, full of virtues then unrecognized. Climbing Roses Old and New (1965) considered ramblers and climbers such as 'Adelaide d'Orleans' and 'Desprez a fleur jaune', now more than 150 years old but still incomparable. The Graham Stuart Thomas Rose Book brings the trilogy together, substantially revised and updated. New material has been added, practical advice is included on planting, general cultivation, pruning and display, and new photographs complement favourite illustrations from such masters as Redouté and Graham Stuart Thomas himself.
Inside Religion
It is a few years past September 11, 2001, as Stuart Jones attempts to shed the skeletons of his past. A handsome veteran of the US Army special forces, he hopes to land his dream job as an editor for The Times. After he learns the only open position is editor of the religion section, Stuart reluctantly accepts the job to get his foot in the door. Without any idea of what lies ahead, Stuart can only hope it is the beginning of a new chapter. Jennifer Carter, the beautiful daughter of the editor-in-chief, is still grieving the recent death of her mother. After she agrees to help Stuart with the research surrounding his first assignment, their attraction is instantaneous. As he works with Jennifer to interview leaders representing every faith in their community, their adventure leads them inside the religions of the city and into a dangerous situation. When an unexpected chain of events unfolds, Stuart is about to discover that new chapters sometimes produce miracles. In this inspirational story, the lives and hearts of an army veteran and the daughter of a newspaper editor become intertwined as they fulfill an assignment to research the religions of their beloved city.
The Price of Empire
The United States was an upside-down British Empire. It had an agrarian economy, few large investors, and no territorial holdings outside of North America. However, decades before the Spanish-American War, the United States quietly began to establish an empire across thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean. While conventional wisdom suggests that large interests – the military and major business interests – drove American imperialism, The Price of Empire argues that early American imperialism was driven by small entrepreneurs. When commodity prices boomed, these small entrepreneurs took risks, racing ahead of the American state. Yet when profits were threatened, they clamoured for the US government to follow them into the Pacific. Through novel, intriguing stories of American small businessmen, this book shows how American entrepreneurs manipulated the United States into pursuing imperial projects in the Pacific. It explores their travels abroad and highlights the consequences of contemporary struggles for justice in the Pacific.
