Biophilia: the love of nature
I have never grown chick peas, and sweet potatoes in my area need a glsshouse, so I have not given them much attention, but there is no reason that they cannot grow in conjunction.

I used to daydream. Once when Miss McLeish made me pencil monitor I forgot where the pencils were, as I was daydreaming about space travel. A girl immediately ran and told Miss that I did not want to be pencil monitor, which I did not, so she ...

What Makes a Good Writer
Very similar, but strangely academic skiĺs alone are not enough. You need a feel for what readers will enjoy and a feel for beautiful language.

Thank you!

Giants in Fairy Tales
The second and the third examples, Jack and the beanstalk and Jack the giant-killer, under the first bloodthirsty, fast characteristic amaze me with the overlap in their titles.

Pinto Thoroughbred Race Horses
Dominant White (DW) has since been renamed White Spotting. It initially appears as a mutation, but after that it will be passed on. There are several different mutations that cause this colour, with at least six present in Thoroughbreds.

Thank you!

Thank you!
A doctorate in religious education and a position as lecturer involve a lot of mentoring, publishing -- "publish or perish" among Unitedstatesian four-year-, four-year-plus university staff -- and teaching on the western side of the ...

Walter Crane: His Art and Life through Illustrations
Online searches initially did not cooperate about yellow books.
But persistent digging gave me the RailwayMuseum blog articles May 2, 2017, by Lise Jaillant (The return of the yellowback: selling cheap editions in railway stations) and Tom ...

Thank you for your comment Sep. 16, 2023, in answer to my previous observation and question.
The yellow books seem like such an astute business endeavor.
Would there be any information as to their inventors, their operating expenses and ...

Perhaps Unitedstatesian hospitality and welcome centers and rest stops allow for free coffee even as I don't know of any such courtesy any more since the COVID-shutdown reopening. Many businesses and operations that irregularly or ...
