There is no harbinger of spring like a field or garden filled with bright yellow daffodils. But the world of the daffodil is much more than just its place in the march of the seasons. It’s a plant whose history starts with the tombs of the Pharaohs, through pre-Darwin evolutionary theory and Cornwall’s burgeoning bulb business, and leads to the current explosion of varieties from plant breeders seeking new colors, fragrances, and forms. Daffodil reveals a global plant infatuation that has led to more than 25,000 cultivars available in nearly every shade of yellow (and now pink, orange, and white). Noel Kingsbury tells the tale through an engaging narrative history and plant portraits that highlight more than 200 varieties. Jo Whitworth's revealing photography shows a side of the daffodil rarely seen. Plant lovers will relish the stories and gardeners will cherish the cultivation notes, plant descriptions, and recommendations.
AARON E. FREEMAN is a scientist, author or coauthor of some 100 papers published in peer review journals. He has a BS degree in education and a MS degree in bacteriology from The George Washington University. He was awarded a PhD. from the Catholic University of America in 1964. His fi rst papers with Dr. Harry Eagle were studies on the nutritional requirements of mammalian cells in culture. Later works with Dr, Robert J Huebner were on the oncogene hypothesis. Dr Freeman identifi ed and classifi ed the oncogenic human adenoviruses. He developed a rat cell transformation assay for carcinogenic chemicals. With Dr, Howard J. Igel of The Children’s Hospital of Akron, he developed a method for cultivating human skin in vitro to use as homografts for burn victims. In later years, Dr. Freeman published on the role of basement membrane components, fi bronectin, laminin and collagen 4 on the growth and differentiation of fetal liver cells. After retirement, Dr. Freeman began to attend Torah study classes with Rabbi Haim Beliak. Always a scientist and an agnostic, his poetry began to express a unique Jewish identity. He wrote about creation of the universe, mankind’s journey through history and especially the story of the Jewish people. As he enters old age, he remembers the faces from his childhood. He contemplates death and offers an explanation of the meaning of life.
The Legend of Truebold: Tales of the Ancient Rabbit By: G. Davis Dean, Jr. In many ways, Quest was just an average rabbit who desired to be more than just average. With a love for life and adventure and a vision for himself and his rabbit community, he became Truebold. He was first a leader, and over time became a living legend among the creatures of the forest and field. Yet everything comes with a price. For Truebold, everything he won and earned in life, he loses with advancing age. He outlives every other rabbit that he has ever known from happier days. Finally he must reconcile his past with his present, even as he sees his own death approaching. Meet the cast of characters that make Truebold’s story truly memorable: His faithful friends and side-kicks Bucky and Happy; his first great love Daffodil; his great rival Rocky; and the tragic, lame Milkweed. Together they weave a story that blends a certain realism with a sense of romanticism, where ideals can thrive against a backdrop of even the worst danger and hardship.
While Darwinian and Freudian theories of vision and sexuality have represented women as lacking visual agency, Daryl Ogden's The Language of the Eyes argues that "the gaze" is not merely a masculine phenomenon, and that women have powerfully desiring eyes as well. Ogden offers a comprehensive cultural history of female visuality in England by analyzing scientific writings, conduct books, illustrated periodicals, poetry, painting, and novels, and he makes important and hitherto unrecognized connections between literary history, cultural studies, and science studies. In so doing, Ogden accomplishes what numerous feminist critics—especially film theorists—have not: the recovery of the modern female spectator from historical obscurity.
