      Ask Mother Nature

      A Conscious Gardener's Guide

      by Ellen Vande Visse

      ASK MOTHER NATURE takes the reader, step-by-step, into Vande Visse's garden to encounter the onslaught of root fly, eel worms, slugs and spider mites and introduces the idea that you can come to a deal with these pests by talking to them rather than waging chemical warfare on them.So, how do you contact a slug? Vande Visse's awkward attempts to plead for crop mercy will have readers chuckling but will ultimately surprise them when the pests, soil and vegetables offer advice and when they see what continual miracles happen when humans co-create with the angelic realms.ASK MOTHER NATURE is a unique combination: it is both a spiritual development manual and a gardening guide. The narrative challenges spiritual seekers and gardeners to actually live, apply and demonstrate a conscious life by directly communicating with nature. Just how does one do this? This is what Ask Mother Nature uniquely provides:·A plentiful supply of earthy examples. Entertaining first-person stories spell out the steps necessary to garden in conscious cooperation with the joyful spirits of nature.·A simplicity of communicating. Readers develop self-confidence as they realize that the strategy is easy and fun. One need not be highly psychic or even good at meditation.·The Devic perspective. Reading how Nature Intelligences voice their viewpoint is both surprising and touching.

      Flower Breeding and Genetics (In 2 Parts)

      by Manjunath S.Patil & Anil R. Karale

      The large volumes of research works that have been done, and the information accumulated over the years necessitated the need for immediate publication of a good updated text book on breeding ornamental flower crops to keep the readers abreast with the current literature and development in the subject. It presents the breeding work on 37 ornamental and flower crops and describes the skills necessary for taking up the cultivar improvement program on these flowers. The opening chapters are meant to provide basic information to the subject, history and development of ornamental plant breeding and major work going on at global level. The major part of the book then considers breeding of all economically important ornamental and flower crops of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate regions. Each chapter is supported by a comprehensive list of bibliography to facilitate readers, locating finer details of the past and recent work of the crop(s). To help readers, some topics in a chapter are broken down into short sub-sections in order to convey the gist of a subject area. The book will serve as an excellent source of reference for flower scientists and teachers too. Additionally, it should be useful to others (enlightened growers, nurserymen, flower traders, agricultural extension officers and policy makers) who wish to become familiar with the topic in relation to their professional interest. However, a basic knowledge of botany and genetics is preferable to fully appreciate the text.
