Synopsis

Ancient Maple Harvest explores the fascinating history and science behind maple syrup, revealing its deep roots in indigenous knowledge and sustainable harvesting practices. For centuries before European contact, indigenous peoples across North America, including the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee, skillfully transformed maple sap into a vital food source. These communities ingeniously developed techniques for tapping trees and boiling sap, understanding the precise timing and methods necessary to create syrup and sugar. This book uniquely positions indigenous innovation in maple sugaring as a significant contribution to North American foodways, often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

 
The book progresses from the botanical characteristics of maple trees to pre-colonial harvesting methods, detailing tools, timing, and processing. It then examines the impact of European colonization on indigenous practices, analyzing how trade and land dispossession altered these traditions. By drawing upon archaeological evidence, ethnographic accounts, and oral histories, Ancient Maple Harvest offers a comprehensive and accessible look at the cultural significance and environmental consciousness embedded within indigenous maple sugaring.

The Bridal of Triermain

Sir Walter Scott

Scott's The Bridal of Triermain is a rhymed, romantic, narrative poem which weaves together elements of popular English legend using dramatic themes. This beautiful poem celebrates the exploits of a knight errant - Sir Roland De Vaux - as he seeks to rescue (and hopefully espouse) a beautiful maiden, Gyneth. Gyneth is the illegitimate daughter of King Arthur: doomed by Merlin 500 years previously to an enchanted sleep inside a magic castle. The enchantment can only be broken by a rescuer both brave and noble enough to overcome the temptations used successively to distract and overcome him, namely: fear, wealth, pleasure and pride.(Introduction by Godsend)

DESCRIPTION
Computers have become an integral part of our education system. Computer Science is now not limited to just teaching definitions and commands. Instead, it helps the learners to understand and appreciate the varied uses of computers and its vast applications.
Trackpad iPRO (Ver. 4.0) series based on Windows 10 and MS Office 2019 is comprehensively designed as per the new ICSE syllabus. We believe computer education is a hands-on subject and too much of bookish knowledge can take away the pleasure of learning. All these points have been kept in mind while designing this book and to produce the content that is not only appealing but also challenging to the students.

The topics in the book have been hand picked after extensive research by a team of experts on the subject based on the utility, interest, skill, and basic and trending applications in the global market. We have designed the lessons in such a way that they can be well integrated with other subjects. Step by step approach will make it simple and easy for our students to grasp the concepts. Relevance of the topics was of prime importance throughout the compilation of the book.

Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity-based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands-On, Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Worksheet, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill, Supplement Pages and Glossary.

These features will ensure better learning, assessment, and evaluation and enable children to take their knowledge beyond the classroom.

Sample questions of Orange Global Olympiad (Cyber) have been included to promote awareness about the national level competition.

We hope that the book contributes to the progressive development of computer aided education system and prepares our students for all upcoming challenges. We want the children to learn the concepts not only for the purpose of gaining knowledge but also to be able to find their applications. This will enable them to enrich the quality of their lives as well as others’.

Soil is not a dirty word - A...

Craig Castree

What you feed the soil, you 
feed yourself! 
In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
plant and human microbiomes. 
Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
leave for generations to come.

Beekeeping ( Backyard Beekeeping...

Andrew Forrest

Don't Worry BEE HAPPY! Start your Bee colony today !
There are 140,000 beekeepers in the United States keeping 3.2 million beehives. American beekeepers produced 200 million pounds of honey a year. In addition, honey bees pollinate and make possible many of the fruits and vegetables that make up the American diet. In fact, the annual contribution of honey bees to crop pollination and production is over nine billion dollars. But to tell the truth, these are not the reasons why many beekeepers have kept bees. Most keep bees because they enjoy the outdoors. They enjoy helping a young colony grow in spring. They enjoy watching the bees make honey. They enjoy harvesting, bottling, and selling honey as well. If you raise animals or work with wood, grow a garden or have an entrepreneurial spirit, you might be a candidate for beekeeping. You'd be surprised at how gentle they can be, and of the many places where you can keep bees. We'll go ahead and discuss the basics of backyard beekeeping. As an example, we'll set up ten bee hives from scratch--that is with packages of bees in the mail, just like what veteran beekeepers did when they were starting out. This audiobook will help you follow the progress of this bee yard, or apiary, as it matures and develops in to a full blown colony, so you will see what you can expect. But before we begin, let's look at some other history of beekeeping.Here Are Some of the Great Stuff You Will Learn:-History of BeekeepingStarting Your ApiaryAssembling the HivePreparing Food Supplements and MedicationsBee Biology, Equipment, and Bee InstallationBee ManagementHarvesting, processing and storing the Honey
