This is a new release of the original 1932 edition.
There are days when prayer requires endurance and persistence, when
answers seem nonexistent, and communication with God is a
hoperather than a reality. Those are days in which prayers are sent
up to theThrone Room, but no discernible response is sent back.It
is in these times, the dry and enduring times, the prayer of
faith-alonetimes when intimate, personal communion with God is but
yesterday'smemory that suddenly a breeze springs up. It moves a
veil. Something isseen shining just beyond our vision. We want
it.God fully reveals that which He had but partiallyexposed. This
books help guide us to that place.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled

Informative and entertaining, this book will stimulate
experimentation and encourage gardeners to review and improve their
current gardening practices. Once gardeners learn how plants are
constructed, it is easier to envision how they'll grow and
flourish. An understanding of the structure behind good, healthy
soil gives clues as to how to improve one's own garden tilth. This
practical guide helps readers identify what plants need to survive
and how these fundamental scientific facts are at the heart of good
plant care. A chapter on seeds and germination will encourage
gardeners at any level to try their hand at propagation, while
discussion of soil, pests, and diseases adds to the skills of all
gardeners. The final sections of the book take a closer look at
biodiversity, ecology, genetic engineering, and nomenclature. For
the enthusiastic beginner or the master gardener, "Practical
Science for Gardeners" unravels the mysterious inner life of
plants.
Winner of the Newfoundland and Labrador Writers' Association Prize
for Non-FictionMary Pratt is famous throughout Canada for her
luminous paintings and prints. Her 1995 exhibition, The Art of Mary
Pratt: The Substance of Light, drew record-breaking crowds on its
tour of Canada. It also resulted in an unprecedented amount of
press coverage on the biographical content of her work. The
accompanying book by Tom Smart sold more than 6,000 copies and made
almost every "best book of the year" list in Canada.Mary Pratt: A
Personal Calligraphy features Mary's own writings, drawn and
adapted from her personal journals, the essays that she has written
for numerous publications ranging from The Globe and Mail to The
Glass Gazette, and the lectures that she has given at many public
events. For the first time, Mary has written her own book in her
own words, rather than rely on others to write about her. Treating
both public and private issues, she writes of her childhood in
Fredericton -- her connection to her family, life in Salmonier as a
young mother, her decision to pursue her own career as an artist,
and her complicated relationship with her husband, Christopher. She
writes about public issues -- the death of Joey Smallwood, the 50th
anniversary of Newfoundland's entry into Confederation, and the cod
fishery. She writes about the images that interest her and
influence her art, and the process of painting. Like her paintings,
Pratt's writing packs a sucker punch. At first it appears to be a
paean to the pleasures of house and home, until the more disturbing
aspects subtly reveal themselves. Ironing shirts become an erotic
act; a memory of visiting the local market with her grandmother
conjures images of violence; dead chickens, meticulously plucked,
and carcasses of cattle, meticulously flayed, suggest rituals of
sacrifice.In Spring of 2001, Mary Pratt was awarded the
Newfoundland and Labrador Writers' Association prize for
Non-fiction for A Personal Calligraphy.
