Sinopse

'Origin of Marigold' presents a fascinating journey through time, tracing the remarkable story of one of the world's most versatile and culturally significant flowers. From its ancient beginnings in Mexico to its current status as a global garden favorite, this comprehensive exploration reveals how marigolds have profoundly influenced human civilization through medicine, ceremonies, and agriculture for over two thousand years.The book masterfully weaves together three primary narratives: the flower's botanical evolution, its rich cultural heritage, and its practical applications across different societies. Readers discover how the Aztecs first recognized marigolds' medicinal properties and incorporated them into religious ceremonies, before Spanish conquistadors brought these vibrant blooms to Europe.The text illuminates fascinating details about marigolds' role in various cultural traditions, from Indian wedding celebrations to Mexican Day of the Dead observances, demonstrating the flower's remarkable ability to transcend cultural boundaries while maintaining unique significance in each society.Moving from historical significance to practical application, the book provides detailed guidance on cultivation methods, sustainable gardening practices, and natural pest control techniques. Drawing from anthropology, botany, and agricultural science, it bridges traditional knowledge with modern applications, making it an invaluable resource for both academic researchers and home gardeners.The accessible scholarly approach ensures that complex botanical concepts are presented in an engaging and comprehensible manner, while maintaining scientific accuracy throughout its carefully structured chapters.

    The Mechanism of the Human Voice

    We are living in an age which is singularly poor in fine voices, both male and female, and with regard to the tenors of the present time there is this additional misfortune, that, as a rule, their voices do not last, but are often worn out in a very few years; in many instances while their owners are still under training, and before they have had an opportunity of making their appearance in public. If we remember that there was a time when most beautiful and highly cultivated voices were so plentiful that even in comparatively small towns there were to be found Opera Companies consisting of excellent singers, we may well ask ourselves how this remarkable change for the worse has come about.  
    People have attempted to account for it in various ways. Up to the middle of the last century women were forbidden by Ecclesiastical Law to take part in church music. The voices of boys being available only for a very short time, means were taken to prevent their voices from breaking, and thus a class of male soprani and contralti was created, who made their first appearance in Rome in the beginning of the 17th century, and to these singers the education of the female voices was soon almost exclusively entrusted.  
    In the middle of the last century, however, when women were permitted to participate in church music, there was no longer any occasion to procure artificial female voices, and these singers gradually died out, though there were still some of them living and teaching in the beginning of the present century.

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER  
    Most people think I save dogs, but really they saved me.  
    Niall Harbison is a dog hero based in Thailand. He spends his days feeding, caring for and rescuing the many street dogs he comes across. With every rescue there’s a story. Like the sweet gentle McMuffin who was found with many tumours and hours from death, only to be nursed back to health. She now lives with Niall and is a popular member of the pack. Then there is King Whacker – who escaped a vicious attack and is now ruling the nest living up to his name as the king of the all good dogs. And who could resist the puppy eyes of little Rodney, the beautiful dog with big paws who is melting millions of hearts around the world. 
    Originally from Dublin, Niall was the owner of a successful advertising company. After selling it, he moved to Thailand where his addictions – drugs and alcohol – almost got the better of him. One day he woke up in hospital, close to death, and realised that something had to change. And that was what spurred him on to start saving and helping street dogs. His aim is to help 10,000 street dogs. 
    This is his story. 
    In this riveting autobiography, Niall Harbison takes us on a personal journey of survival, battling his own demons while dedicating his life to the rescue and care of street dogs. His memoirs, a testament to his mental resilience, are filled with heartwarming stories of the animals he has saved, making this book a bestseller among animal lovers.
