For decades, gardeners have approached vegetable gardening the same
way: planting in square or rectangular beds or in straight rows,
keeping vegetables separate from flowers, and definitely not mixing
perennial plants with annual ones. According to these old rules,
every insect must be killed, the garden must be tidy, and nothing
should ever be allowed to go to seed. It's time to break the rules!
Today's gardeners are re-envisioning the vegetable garden as a
creative, playful space where the beds may be circles or spirals,
beneficial insects are invited to the party, flowers for cutting
grow right next to annual vegetables (which might be chosen for
their curb appeal as much as their flavor), and a bit of
"untidiness" simply creates a garden that more closely mimics the
natural world. With The Creative Vegetable Gardener, lifestyle
editor and master gardener Kelly Smith Trimble encourages readers
to widen their focus, be playful, and imagine a vegetable garden
that reflects their own unique aesthetic and offers a meditative
sanctuary as well as a source of fresh, homegrown food. From seed
selection to garden layout and regenerative gardening practices,
gardeners of all levels will find Smith Trimble's liberating advice
a pathway to making the garden a place of nourishment for the soul
and creative spirit, while also feeding the body.
In today's dynamic global business environment where knowledge
is a main asset and learning becomes the most important process,
Business Education needs to employ the right practices to develop
future leaders. Businesses require graduates that become true
experts. But can business schools indeed create learning
experiences that address the needs of the global marketplace? Can
they teach students to build learning organizations?

developed by business educators and researchers. The approaches
have been implemented to solve real problems and to provide
students with the ethical and analytical abilities they will need
to both compete and contribute to the betterment of others.
The thematic part of this volume focuses on the potential of
interactive on-line activities to promote business and economics
education. They demonstrate the benefits that learning technologies
can bring and show how to overcome potential problem issues.

Sometimes the best gardening advice comes in tidbits shared over
the back garden fence from a sage neighbour. In Vegetable Gardening
Wisdom, master gardener Kelly Smith Trimble shares her
tried-and-true ideas and guidance for finding success and enjoyment
in every aspect of vegetable gardening. Presented in a lively,
beautifully designed package that make a perfect gift and source
for daily inspiration, Trimble invites readers to dip in regularly
for bite-sized pieces of information on topics ranging from herb
and vegetable gardening to cooking, preserving, and creative ways
to use the harvest along with ideas for reducing garden and kitchen
waste. Trimble suggests the best herbs to grow indoors, the best
way to start peas, how to use lettuce as a living mulch in the
garden, how to make compost tea, how to identify beneficial bugs,
how to blanch cauliflower, and much more. Woven in among her 275
tips are 40 helpful and inspiring quotes from other plant-loving
folks, ranging from novelist Jamaica Kincaid to vegetable gardening
guru Ed Smith and renowned chef Sean Brock.
All Kelly Smith ever wanted to be was a footballer. Blessed with
brilliant talent which she honed with hours of practice, it was
soon clear to all who saw her that Kelly was the best women's
footballer that this country had ever produced. Yet for this shy
girl from Watford, it would be a long and difficult journey to the
pinnacle of the world game, and one which would involve the hardest
of challenges. After starting drinking to mask her loneliness
thousands of miles from home in the United States, a series of
career-threatening injuries led to severe depression and a battle
with alcoholism. But with the fighting spirit that was so essential
on her path to be Britain's first women's professional player,
Kelly bounced back to inspire Arsenal to countless trophies and
become England's record goalscorer. Footballer: My Story is the
inspirational tale of a woman with a drive to succeed. It is the
unique inside story of a star in a sport enjoyed by millions yet
often not granted the recognition it deserves. And as she nears the
end of a glittering playing career, it is the story of how Kelly
Smith became what she always wanted to be. A professional
footballer, in a professional league.

'We can do better - can't we?' Having both been deeply scarred by
their own parents' separations, Joe and Anne never imagined they'd
find themselves, years later, in the same position. Determined to
place the interests of their son Alistair at the centre of their
lives apart, they split with the firm objective of maintaining
amicable relations at all costs. But a sudden change in
circumstance triggers a chain of events that pushes their best
intentions to the limit... Before they know it, they are both
teetering dangerously close to the edge of an abyss. Kellie Smith's
play Wilderness is a searing exploration of unconditional love and
of the personal sacrifices it demands. It premiered at Hampstead
Theatre Downstairs, London, in March 2019.
