Raising with the Moon
Planting "by the signs" is an ancient tradition, now explained in this exploration of the signs of the moon and how they work. Includes information on every aspect of gardening: preparing the soil, planting, fertilizing, and harvesting. (Gardening/Horticulture)
You and the Man in the Moon
Jack Pyle and Taylor Reese, who grew UP in homes where almanacs were second in importance only to the Bible, thought that they knew all there was to know about almanacs until the publication of their popular book Raising With the Moon. Not only did they begin to get questions about almanacs that they couldn't answer, but they also began to realize that many people who are interested in almanacs have no idea how to use them. That set them to work on this book, the first of its kind. You and the Man in the Moon not only explores the history and lore of almanacs, but also explains their differences and offers clear and simple instructions for understanding every possible use of any almanac.

Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains
This guidebook is the first of three regional volumes that invite residents and out-of-state visitors to explore North Carolina while reading literature from our state's finest writers. Organized geographically through a series of eighteen half-day and day-long tours in the western part of the state, the book directs curious travelers to the historic sites where Tar Heel authors have lived and worked. Along the way, travelers can read outstanding excerpts from the writers, evoking the places, customs, colloquialisms, and characters that figure prominently in their poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and plays. More than 170 writers from the past and present are featured in this volume, including Sequoyah, Elizabeth Spencer, Fred Chappell, Charles Frazier, Kathryn Stripling Byer, Robert Morgan, William Bartram, Gail Godwin, O. Henry, Thomas Wolfe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Anne Tyler, Lillian Jackson Braun, Nina Simone, and Romulus Linney. Each tour provides information about the libraries, museums, colleges, bookstores, and other venues open to the public where writers regularly present their work or are represented in exhibits, events, performances, and festivals.
At the Crossroads
"Four nuns find themselves at the crossroads between long held ideals and today's feminist values. Vivian Tiamet, principal and superior at St. Anthony School and Convent in Sleeder, Illinois, promises to help unwed, pregnant Jennifer. Then their school closes unexpectedly and the urgency of time presses."--Page 4 of cover
Key to a Cottage
It's August, 1967, as the first wave of hippies pours into San Francisco for the "Summer of Love," when 17-year-old Rae, a questing innocent from Alabama, traveling with parents, meets two destined to define her life. Chloe, an idealistic flower child, and her lover Garth, a charismatic radical. Rae comes away with a lifelong relationship with Chloe that transcends their differences -- with Garth to be the dark figure between them. Returning home to marry the Air Force boy friend Charley, Rae is suddenly widowed at 18. Needing comfort from serene friend Chloe, she flies back to Berkeley where the counter culture scene is becoming bitter. A distraught Rae returns home to find she's pregnant by Garth. The reader follows Rae's transformation from a suburban southern girl-wife to a woman, alone with a child, struggling to survive. For a time she is sheltered by favorite Aunt Vyola at the cottage, which, like Vyola and Chloe, remains a presence in her life. To train for a job, Rae leaves her young son with a critical sister-in-law. She not only survives, but thrives, going from one career success to another, and in the process losing her son and her soul -- almost.

The Art of Jack B. Yeats
Jack B. Yeats is probably the greatest painter Ireland has ever produced, although he is often overshadowed somewhat by his more famous brother, the poet W. B. Yeats. First published to great acclaim in 1993, this is one of very few popular books on Yeat's work. With more than 100 colour plates and 175 black and white illustrations, it is an authoritative and glorious appreciation of Yeats's vast and varied output.
