Many people see their lives playing out like a movie they cannot
control. They have come to feel like spectators watching a story
unfold, unable to stop the stampeding consequences. They feel the
die is cast, and nothing they do can alter the outcome. James
MacDonald believes that is a lie. In 10 Choices he says, while
people are where they are in life because of the choices they've
made, they don't have to stay there. This book is about getting
beyond self-help and blame shifting and changing at the deepest and
most profound level...the will. A person's will is what he uses to
choose and act. This book helps readers to discover the heights to
which their wills, truly surrendered to God, can actually soar and
the "10 choices" that can take them there. This impactful book will
prompt readers to make 10 Choices that are sure to change their
lives forever.
Structure and Evolution of Single Stars: An introduction is
intended for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduates
with a background in physics. Following a brief overview of the
background observational material, the basic equations describing
the structure and evolution of single stars are derived. The
relevant physical processes, which include the equation of state,
opacity, nuclear reactions and neutrino losses are then reviewed.
Subsequent chapters describe the evolution of low-mass stars from
formation to the final white dwarf phase. The final chapter deals
with the evolution of massive stars.
Originally published in 1909, this early work on the History of
Hereford Cattle is both expensive and hard to find in its first
edition. The contents are extensively illustrated and it is highly
recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all historians. Many
of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s
and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We
are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Amidst the turbulence and gaiety existing in American society
during the last decade of the 20th century, the paths of two young
men and a young woman merge. Each is inexorably drawn to a midnight
rendezvous on a lonely road in northern Kentucky, and ghastly and
fatal consequences result.
A monumental 1176 page treatise on every aspect of Farm Crops and
Farm Livestock in the Edwardian period, this most complete work of
its kind, is a mine of information. The livestock section discusses
numerous breeds of horses (including ponies and donkeys) cattle,
sheep, goats and poultry; the history, characteristics, care,
breeding, and showing of each individual breed, as well as a more
general discussion of animal husbandry, live stock ailments and
remedies, farm pests, and of course animal products-meat, dairy,
wool, honey, etc.. Sheepdogs are not overlooked. The farm crop
section covers all British grains, beans and peas, potatoes, hops,
flax, turnips, forage crops (for cattle) in similar detail, as well
as "subsidiary crops" (that is, vegetables I modern usage). As well
as the material specifically on crops and livestock, there is
considerable background information, including a summary of the
seasons and seasonal tasks, a detailed analysis of the then recent
experiments in manuring and composting at Rothamstead that continue
to this day, and a discussion of the impact of non-farm animals
(badgers, mice, owls ...) on the farm.In addition to sixty eight
full page plates there are numerous illustrations in the text, and
a complete index. (Hardcover 978-1-84902-540-9, Paperback

A book about birdsong, from the critically acclaimed author of
Raptor. In Wild Air, James Macdonald Lockhart sets out to write
about a series of birds as though he has his granny's role of
listening to birds' songs and calls and relaying what she heard to
her aged and by then quite deaf father - the famous naturalist
Seton Gordon. From a nightjar's strange churring song on a heath in
the south of England, to a lapwing displaying over the machair in
the Outer Hebrides, he writes about eight different birds who he
has spent most time with, returned to most often and relays what he
hears. The eight species are all representative of a different
habitat. Nightjars on a lowland heath; shearwaters on a mountain
overlooking the sea; dippers on a river; skylarks in farmland;
ravens in woodland; divers on a loch; lapwings on the coast; and
nightingales in dense scrub. Not all of the birds are songbirds in
the traditional sense, though each possesses its own distinctive
music. That music can vary from the strange, as in the weird
gurgling sound a shearwater makes inside its burrow, to the joyous
exuberance of the skylark's song. Sometimes, he hears a lot, and
sees little (shearwaters in the pitch dark); sometimes he sees a
lot, but hears little (black-throated divers on their loch). But in
every case the sounds the birds make become an introduction to
their lives - an audible introduction to the birds and the places
they are found.
