Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Whatever the country, most women will identify with Liz's poetry as
she explores the tapestry of women's daily lives in more than 100
witty and bittersweet poems in her own unique style--original,
provocative, and often with a devilish sting in the tail. Dealing
with the frustrations and disappointments along with the joys and
pleasures of life, Liz is delighted when readers say to her "I
don't normally like poetry, but I really love this."
"What constitutes human excellence?" and "What is the best way to
live a life?" These are questions that human beings have been
asking since the beginning of time. In their critically acclaimed
book, "All Things Shining," Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly
argue that our search for meaning was once fulfilled by our
responsiveness to forces greater than ourselves, whether one God or
many. These forces drew us in and imbued the ordinary moments of
life with wonder and gratitude. Dreyfus and Kelly argue in this
thought-provoking work that as we began to rely on the power of our
own independent will we lost our skill for encountering the sacred.
Through their original and transformative discussion of some of the
greatest works of Western literature, from Homer's "Odyssey "to
Melville's "Moby Dick, "Dreyfus and Kelly reveal how we have lost
our passionate engagement with the things that gave our lives
purpose, and show how, by reading our culture's classics anew, we
can once again be drawn into intense involvement with the wonder
and beauty of the world.
Well on its way to becoming a classic itself, this inspirational
book will change the way we understand our culture, our history,
our sacred practices, and ourselves.
Soybeans are one of the most widely-grown crops in the world. As
the world's main source of vegetable protein, they have a wide
range of food and non-food uses. Current yields need to increase
significantly to meet growing demand but in a way that reduces
input use, does not damage the environment and is resilient to
climate change. This collection reviews the wealth of research
addressing this challenge. Volume 2 reviews advances in
understanding and managing the range of diseases and pests that
continue to cause significant crop losses. Part 1 discusses fungal,
viral and bacterial diseases as well as developments in
disease-resistant varieties, integrated pest and weed management.
Part 2 summaries research on developing the food and non-food uses
of soybean, from improving nutritional properties to uses in animal
feed. With its distinguished editor and international team of
authors, this will be a standard reference for soybean scientists,
growers, government and non-government agencies supporting soybean
cultivation. It is accompanied by a companion volume that reviews
advances in breeding and cultivation techniques.
