  The first in-depth study of Southern clockmakers and the magnificent artistry they brought to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century timepieces.   Entitled Dixie Clockmakers, this volume traces the development of clockmaking and horological history below the Mason-Dixon line and documents the works of those artisans who designed and constructed some of the world’s finest timepieces.   Author James W. Gibbs focuses primarily upon clockmaking in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia, but attention also is given to eight other states. Included are some sixty photographs illustrating outstanding examples and details of Southern clockmaking.  Dixie Clockmakers also lists every known clockmaker and watchmaker in the South during the two centuries, along with nomenclature common at the time, and advertisements used by individual craftsmen.

  What is the best way to kill weeds in paving? How scared should we really be of Japanese knotweed? And what is a weed anyway?
  
  Biologist Ken Thompson set out to write a different kind of gardening column, one that tackles what he calls 'the grit in the gardening oyster'. In this new collection he takes a look at some of the questions faced by gardeners everywhere in a bid to sort the truth from the wishful thinking.
  
  Why are the beaks of British great tits getting longer? Which common garden insect owns a set of metal-tipped running spikes? Why might growing orange petunias land you in hot water? Are foxes getting bigger? How do you stop the needles falling off your Christmas tree?
  
  This expert's miscellany of (mostly) scientifically-tested garden lore will make you look at your garden through fresh eyes.

  It's an autobiography mainly covering 35-years in the magazine publishing business featuring successes, failures, amazing people, and crazy stories that really happened. Arthur C. Brooks, The Atlantic wrote: "Humor is a serious business for happiness and cultivating humor in life, even during the darkest times, can be the secret to keeping us from despair." LAUGH EVERY DAY, NO MATTER WHAT illustrates the value of laughter in life during the good times and the bad.Included are funny anecdotes related to hockey, football, squash, scuba diving, and fly-fishing along with a cast of unique personalities. Excerpts from the Foreward, by Neil Morton, a former magazine writer, and editor: "From the first time I met Greg MacNeil in the 1990s when I was an intern on one of the publications the magazine mogul oversaw, I knew I was around someone genuinely unique and special. Indeed, everyone who has ever been around the guy for any length of time has the same sentiment: Boy, that Greg is a beauty, one of a kind!" The book covers the hurdles, the people, the magazine world, the highs, and lows, the defining moments, and the belly-ache laughter anecdotes.What you do with what you have and the cards you were dealt defines you. The above themes and messages are delivered loudly and clearly while listening to this entertaining gem that is like being at the best dinner party you've ever attended with non-stop stories, jokes, and wisdom."
