Summary

With a keen eye for aesthetics matched by a strong concern for the environment, garden expert Stephen Orr has developed a sense of what a modern garden should be: small, visually pleasing, and responsible. In Tomorrow's Garden, he presents gardens in 14 American cities that have been scaled back and simplified without sacrificing beauty or innovative design.
 
A devoted supporter of the organic gardening movement, Orr advises gardeners to think about their gardens as part of an interconnected whole with the surrounding environment--with an eye to water usage, local ecology, and preservation of resources. However, for those who are afraid that a sustainable garden means a lack of flora and fauna, Orr believes that a garden, first and foremost, should be a thing of beauty. He encourages flower lovers to plant flowers, and he showcases gardens filled with traditional and exotic plants that are designed with both visual appeal and the environment in mind.
 
With detailed case studies, stunning photographs, and an appendix of resources and information to help gardeners achieve their ecological best, Tomorrow's Garden will teach you the true definition of sustainability and show you how to create beauty without excess in the 21st century and beyond.

    Imagine your shock at waking up one morning to a fleet of enormous, otherworldly craft looming over you. And when bizarre aliens begin to emerge-speaking strange gibberish-your heart races even faster. Similar fears may have gripped New World inhabitants when diverse civilizations-separated by a vast ocean-first met. American natives once knew nothing of towering ships, galloping horses, thundering guns, or smallpox. From 1492 onward, however, waves of adventurers would give them a cruel introduction. And yet, ultimately, New World dwellers-together with their Old World counterparts-would become transformed by these global connections. Historian and author Marc Aronson-a Library Journal Best Book honoree and a Robert F. Sibert Award winner for excellence in nonfiction-teams up with John W. Glenn to give kids and their parents a fresh perspective on New World exploration.

    The CDL Exam Made Easy: Discover How to Breeze Through the Test and Ensure Your Future in the Trucking Industry 
The Commercial Driver’s License is an incredibly coveted thing. Truck drivers are currently in high demand, and there is no shortage of job opportunities. 
And then there’s the financial prospect of it: you don’t have to own a college degree for CDL training, which means no college debts. 
Think about it: you’d be making a low-cost investment that will pay itself off in no time. 
But there’s a catch. 
Passing a driving exam can be stressful, but in comparison to the CDL exam it’s basically child’s play. 
Manuals are boring and long, and people get lost trying to figure out which endorsement to take. The regulations and requirements are different from state to state, which means you have to spend days finding out which parts of the manual you’re supposed to study. 
In this manual you will discover: 
●    A detailed walkthrough of all endorsements and restrictions 
●    A comprehensive guide on the knowledge and skill tests, to help you breeze through them and start working as a trucker as soon as possible 
●    The basics of every CDL exam, from having control over the vehicle to how to deal with road rage and driving emergencies 
●    The most detailed guide on transporting cargo and passengers, air brakes, and hazardous material 
●    A bonus chapter that explores the emergence of electric semis and autonomous driving software -- discover what this means for the future of the trucking industry 
●    Practice questions and tests that cover everything that might come up on your exam 
And much more.

WHICH ENVIRONMENTALIST WAS EXPELLED AT PRIMARY SCHOOL FOR ATTEMPTING TO POISON HIS CLASSMATES WITH DEADLY NIGHTSHADE? WHICH ADVENTURER AND EXPLORER SPENT HIS TIME AT ETON SHINNING UP THE ARCHITECTURE? Through intimate conversations with journalist Jonathan Sale, some of Britain's leading personalities reminisce about their school and college days, revealing the portents, paths and false starts that led them to where they are today. With poignant and hilarious anecdotes spanning everything from those very first days at school to receiving their dreaded O level, A level and degree results, this book is brimming with recollections that every reader can associate with. Tributes are paid to the teachers who opened doors, whilst others tell tales on those who slammed them in their faces. And all credit to the teachers who were truly prophetic about their pupils. These personalities may be reticent with regard to their adult personal lives, but speak candidly about their childhoods, revealing fascinating insights into the role their formative years played in shaping them to become the people they are today.
