From barnyard to backyard, lowly hens have flown the country coop
and joined the city chicken movement. A new generation of
small-acreage farmers raising heritage breeds has inspired
urbanites and suburbanites across America to install some poultry
out back for eggs, meat, fertiliser, and cockeyed companionship.
Whether the breed is Jersey Giant, Wyandotte, Buff Orpington, or
Silver Frizzle Polish-chickens are now chic. This is not a how-to
book on raising chickens but rather a wry, fascinating, sometimes
startling appreciation of them, conveyed in compelling accounts by
Susan Troller and striking prints and paintings by S.V. Medaris. A
bonus: chicken stories from three of Wisconsin's most celebrated
writers-Jane Hamilton (The Book of Ruth, A Map of the World),
Michael Perry (Coop, Population 485), and Ben Logan (The Land
Remembers)-round out the collection.

Twentieth Century climatology was dominated by two great figures:
Wladamir Kppen and C. Warren Thornthwaite. The first carefully
developed climatic parameters to match the larger world vegetation
communities. The second developed complex formulas of "Moisture
Factors" that provided efficient understanding of how
evapotranspiration influences plant growth and health, both for
native and non-native communities. In the latter half of the
Twentieth Century, the Sunset Magazine Corporation develop a purely
empirical set of Garden Zones, first for California. This thesis
examines the digitized zones with reference to PRISM climate data.
Variable coverages resembling those described by Sunset are
extracted from the PRISM data. These variable coverages are
collected for two buffered areas, one in northern California and
one in southern California. This process is quite amenable for
further examination of other regions of California
This beloved American memoir is about a farm and its people,
recollections of a boyhood in Wisconsin's Driftless region. Ben
Logan grew up on Seldom Seen Farm with his three brothers, father,
mother, and hired hand Lyle. The boys discussed and argued and
joked over the events around their farm, marked the seasons by the
demands of the land, and tested each other and themselves.
