        We present to you a rhino that actually once circled the earth in the spaceship, an artist cat from Paris known by everyone, the adventures, and wanderlust of a tiny house, and love stories kissed by the sun... Curious? If you are looking for children's books with a universal message of hope and connectedness, we'd love the opportunity to meet with you. Inner Flower Child Books is a children's book publisher founded in California in 2012 by the creative team of author Susan Schaefer Bernardo (M.A. English Languages and Literature, Yale University) and illustrator Courtenay Fletcher (BFA Advertising/Graphic Design, Art Center College of Design). These artists and their team produce profound, touching, and humorously inspiring books that have become very successful in the US. With wittiness, humor, and intelligence — with rhymes at times — they create stories that promote children's language and social capabilities development. Partly because of that, Susan’s and Courtenay's picture books are used nationwide by schools, children's charities, therapists, and families across the United States to help children and youth heal from problems, large and small. At a time when the whole world is being hit by the trauma of a pandemic, books such as “Sun Kisses and Moon Hugs” bring children and young people a comforting message of love and connection. The colorfully illustrated and inspiring picture books contain generally assignable topics such as healing trauma, bringing people closer to living a sustainable life, and the power of creative expression — predestined to be successful worldwide. (Speaking of worldwide distribution: one of Susan’s and Courtenay's books, “The Rhino Who Swallowed The Storm” was sent to the International Space Station to orbit the planet — and was read aloud by astronaut Kate Rubins as part of the innovative “Story Time From Space” program and broadcasted! Apart from that, “The Rhino” was also promoted by former, then-incumbent First Lady Michelle Obama and present presidential candidate Joe Biden. For more information, please visit our website!). All Inner Flower Child Books titles are currently only published in the United States. Susan and Courtenay are therefore pleased to be able to offer publication and subsidiary rights on all other world markets for the first time.

        Cultivation and Management

        by Anil Kumar Singh

In India, flower crops have become a significant source of income due to their high economic value, and they play a vital role in our rich cultural heritage. To enhance the productivity, quality, and export potential of floricultural crops, concerted efforts are being made across the country. As trends continue to evolve and demand for innovative products grows, it is essential to stay informed about new potential crops with novel varieties and improved production technologies.

        Tis Pity She's a Whore

        John Ford

        by Derek Roper

        John Ford's tragedy, first printed in 1633, is the first major English play to take as its theme a subject still rarely handled: fulfilled incest between brother and sister. It is one of the most studied and performed of all plays of the period, and has been successfully adapted for film and radio. The Revels plays edition by Derek Roper has been the standard scholarly edition since it appeared in 1975. This new edition uses the same authoritative text, but with notes designed for modern undergraduate use. The substantial introduction has been completely rewritten to take account of the studies and new approaches of the last twenty years. It presents the play as an 'interrogative text', in which subversive meanings are inscribed within an apparently orthodox narrative; as a courageous treatment of forbidden love; and as an achieved work of Baroque art. ;

        Sport and the making of Britain

        by Derek Birley

        The British love of sport is legendary. In this lively and stimulating book Derek Birley looks at the part it played in shaping British society. The book traces the development of sporting conventions from medieval chivalry to modern notions of sportsmanship and fair play. Particular sports from hunting and the tournament to ball-games and athletics are shown against the social background of the emerging nation. The first laws of favourite pastimes such as horse-racing, cricket and boxing were devised by the privileged for gambling purposes, but were enthusiastically followed by the lower orders for pleasure and profit. Amongst the topics explored are the changing fortunes and fashions in field sports, 'gentlemen and players' in cricket, the public school games cult, purity in amateur rowing, the urban middle-class discovery of lawn tennis and golf, and the 'north-south divide' in football. These social issues are cross-threads in the theme of sport's influence on national identity, patriotism and imperialism in the making of Britain. Remarkable in its scope and in its linking of sport to the changing social political scene, this is a splendidly readable history. ;

        Aus dem Guru Granth Sahib und anderen heiligen Schriften der Sikhs

        Ausgewählt, übersetzt und kommentiert von Tilak Raj Chopra und Heinz Werner Wessler

        by Martin Kämpchen, Heinz Werner Wessler, Tilak Raj Chopra

        Die Sikh-Religion (vom sanskritischen Wort für „Schüler, Belehrungsbedürftiger”) ist eine im 15. Jahrhundert entstandene konfessions- und religionsübergreifende Form indischer Mystik, die auf den charismatischen Gemeindeführer Guru Nanak (1469-1539) und seine neun Nachfolger zurückgeht. (1708 wurde der letzte Guru, der keinen Nachfolger ernannt hat, Opfer eines Attentats.) Die Literatur des Sikhismus setzt mit den Liedern Guru Nanaks ein. Nach dessen Tod begannen seine Nachfolger mit der Traditionsbildung: Nichtauthentische Lieder wurden ausgesondert, das zunächst mündlich tradierte Liedgut verschriftlicht. Diese Entwicklung mündete 1604 in das Guru Granth Sahib (auch bekannt unter dem Namen „Adi Granth”), das „Ursprüngliche Buch” oder genauer: der „Lehrer Hoher Herr Buch”, eine kanonische Liedsammlung, die heute in jedem Sikh-Heiligtum im Zentrum der Liturgie steht. Die Sikhs sind in der Gegenwart eine kleine (23 Millionen Anhänger), aber wirtschaftlich erfolgreiche Minderheit in Indien. Ihr prominentester Vertreter ist der amtierende indische Premierminister. Die Gurus sprechen in ihren Versen über eine grundsätzliche menschliche Haltung dem Leben gegenüber, die durchdrungen ist von Nächstenliebe, Hingabe und Aufrichtigkeit. Die Lehren legen daher großen Wert auf gegenseitigen Respekt. Im Abschlußgebet der Sikhs wird für das Wohl der gesamten Schöpfung gebetet. Dieser Gedanke drückt sich auch in den Gebetsstätten (Gurdwara) der Sikhs aus: Jeder Mensch, ungeachtet seiner Herkunft und Religion, ist eingeladen, an den Gottesdiensten und Veranstaltungen teilzunehmen. Bekanntester Einzeltext ist das „Mul-Mantar” oder „Wurzel-Mantra”, das quasi den Rang eines Glaubensbekenntnisses hat.

        Derek Parfits bahnbrechende Arbeiten zur personalen Identität, zur Metaethik und zur normativen Ethik prägen seit Jahrzehnten die Debatten der praktischen Philosophie weltweit. Seine zentrale Frage lautet: Worauf kommt es eigentlich an? Er beantwortet sie mit einer innovativen Theorie, die eine reduktionistische Auffassung von personaler Identität mit einer objektiven Theorie praktischer Gründe und einer verblüffenden Vereinigung von Kantianismus, Kontraktualismus und Konsequentialismus verbindet. Erstmals liegen mit diesem Band nun Texte in deutscher Übersetzung vor, die das philosophische Schaffen Parfits in seiner ganzen Breite abdecken.

        Flower Seeds

        Biology and Technology

        by Edited by Miller B McDonald, Francis Y Kwong, Frans Bongers, Marc P E Parren, Dossahua Traoré

        The floral industry represents a significant proportion of agricultural income in several developed countries, particularly the USA, the Netherlands and Japan. Hitherto the sheer diversity of flower seeds, in their form, function and biology, has hindered the production of a comprehensive treatment of the topic. This book provides a unique and much-needed resource of information on the biology and technology of flower seeds. It presents in-depth information on the history and evolution of the ornamental and wild flower seed industries followed by recommendations for successful breed and production programs. A comprehensive coverage of the biology of flower seeds is considered as well as appropriate technologies associated with germination, vigor and viability testing. In this volume, the first of its kind, international authorities from academia and industry have been brought together to provide a comprehensive reference resource for both practitioners and students of seed science and technology and of ornamental horticulture.

        Flower Embroidery

        by Baoerji.Yuanye

        The novel is the first novel of Bauerji Yuanye, with romanticism as the main creative technique, with strong magical realism. The novel tells the protagonist's unique experience in a place called Huahuoxiu in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. An Iranian poet named Zaino formed a partnership with the protagonist and embarked on Don Quixote-style adventures in various corners of the flower embroidery-herders’ homes, restaurants, markets, and King Gesar’s boots. It is both true and illusion, hilarious, it is a more artistically attractive work, which embodies the consistent creative characteristics of Bauerji Yuanye: unrestrained imagination, peculiar conception, broad knowledge and wit and humor.

        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.
