In studying the various roles that language, speech and
communication play in relations between the sexes, "Language, The
Sexes and Society" identifies and illuminates the processes
involved- such as stereotyping, social categorization and
discrimination.
Based on a 20-year survey organised by the Botanical Society of Scotland, this is the most extensive and authoritative Flora of Edinburgh and the Lothians to be published since 1927. In addition to a complete Flora of vascular plants in the three Lothian vice-counties, the book includes: *Specialist chapters on topics ranging from fungi to ferns and from geology and climate to ethnobotany. *A substantial Bryophyte Flora of Edinburgh and the Lothians. *A discussion of land-use changes and the ecological and phytogeographical indications from the survey. *A description of the survey and details of the methods used in the compilation of the Flora. *30 colour and black and white plates, nearly 400 distribution maps and other illustrations. The Lothians are rich in diversity, from the moist uplands of the south to the dry, flat lands of the north-east. Habitats range from seacoast to moorland, from river and loch to woodland and meadow. In addition to this variety, there is the impact of man as manifested by agriculture, urbanisation, industry, and now climate change.Plant Life of Edinburgh and the Lothians presents an up-to-date account of this richness and will provide an essential basis for comparison with the flora and vegetation of the future.
At the turn of the 20th century, life in rural Indiana was significantly different from today. Farm families "made do." In other words, they raised or hunted the meat they ate. They grew or gathered the vegetables for the table. They made most of the things they wore, the bedding they slept on and much of the furniture for the home. There were no shopping malls, supermarkets or items available to purchase at the click of a computer mouse. Life was survival and it took all members of the family and their skills to keep a household going. Gabe is a member of such a household and has learned the skills for survival that have been passed down from generation to generation from the frontier days. These skills are put into play as the young adventurer faces challenge after challenge on that greatest of adventures called life.
