Book excerpt: In the quaint suburb of Geranium Grove, where neat rows of colorful geraniums adorn every window box and the scent of freshly brewed tea fills the air, lies a cozy mystery waiting to be unraveled. When amateur sleuth and avid gardener, Amelia Green, stumbles upon a curious series of events in her tranquil neighborhood, she senses that something is amiss amidst the fragrant blooms of Geranium Grove. From missing garden gnomes to mysterious notes left on doorsteps, each clue leads Amelia deeper into the heart of the Geranium Gambit. With the help of her trusty sidekick, Winston the cat, and her dear friend and fellow gardener, Beatrice, Amelia sets out to solve the mystery that has gripped their peaceful community. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters—quirky neighbors, nosy garden club members, and even a retired detective with a penchant for solving puzzles. But as Amelia delves deeper into the Geranium Gambit, she soon realizes that the mystery may be more complex than she ever imagined. With secrets lurking behind every garden gate and danger lurking in the most unexpected places, she must tread carefully to uncover the truth before it's too late. The Geranium Gambit is a delightful blend of mystery, humor, and the timeless charm of small-town life. Join Amelia and her friends as they navigate through the twists and turns of Geranium Grove, discovering that sometimes, the most unexpected mysteries can lead to the sweetest surprises

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No other nonhuman source has served as the basis for more metaphors than animals. Speaking of Animals is a dictionary of animal metaphors that are current in American English. It is comprehensive, historical, and metaphor-based. Each entry refers to the other dictionaries that catalog that same metaphor, and the dates of first appearance in writing are supplied, where possible, for both the metaphor and the name of the source. The main text is organized alphabetically by metaphor rather than by animal or animal behavior; all the metaphors are classified according to their animal source in a list at the end of the book. An animal metaphor is a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses a resemblance or similarity between someone or something and a particular animal or animal class. True metaphors are single words, such as the noun tiger, the verb hog, and the adjective chicken. Phrasal metaphors combine true metaphors with other words, such as blind tiger, hog the road, and chicken colonel. Other animal metaphors take the form of similes, such as like rats leaving a sinking ship and prickly as a hedgehog. Still others take the form of proverbs, such as Don't count your chickens before they hatch and Let sleeping dogs lie. The horse is the animal most frequently referred to in metaphors, followed closely by the dog. The Bible is the most prolific literary source of animal metaphors, followed closely by Shakespeare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotraffic explores the complex world of biological resource trade. It takes readers inside the contemporary Ciskei region of South Africa, a once-notorious apartheid “homeland” turned extractive hub for wild medicinal plants. Drawing from in-depth ethnographic and archival research, Christopher Morris examines the region’s trade in Pelargonium sidoides, a plant once contested as a tuberculosis treatment in early twentieth-century Europe and now an internationally marketed remedy for the common cold. The story of this trade links past and present, encapsulating a larger tale about colonial legacies and their intersection with global environmental governance ambitions. It also teems with a diverse cast of actors, from plant harvesters and pharmaceutical companies to activist NGOs and the chiefs who have become business partners with multinational drug firms. The book’s analysis extends beyond considering merely the extraction and commercialization of plant resources and offers a critical examination of how demand for therapeutics intertwines with broader struggles over land and political power in South Africa. Biotraffic illuminates how a distance-defying trade is reshaping the sociopolitical landscape of a region—a region grappling with apartheid's afterlives and the challenges of environmental and economic justice.

Book excerpt: A penetrating tale about suburbia and the social relationships people form to survive in the modern world from bestselling author Hugh MacKay. Winter Close, a small, undistinguished cul-de-sac is home to an eclectic, vibrant group of people: the dubious Chika, eccentric old Mrs Spenser, the self-conscious Abels, the mysterious Stuthridges and the laid back Upton and Sexy Goods - just to name a few. For Tom, a divorced counsellor living alone, Winter Close is his herd, the people he cares about. According to Tom, neighbours are like family, you can't choose them and you don't always like them, but you're bound to them. Tom is pleasant to this family but conscious not to pry into their lives. It comes as a shock then to discover that his reserved, introverted manner may have isolated him from the rest of the residents. In fact he might not know them as well as he thinks. As Tom starts to see his neighbours for the people they are, rather than the people he imagined they were, he starts to drop his own guard and discover himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between poetry and power? Should poetry be considered a mode of authority or an impotent medium? And why is it that the modern poets most commonly regarded as authoritative are precisely those whose works wrestle with a sense of artistic inadequacy? Such questions lie at the heart of Shades of Authority, prompting fresh insights into three of the most important poets of recent decades: Robert Lowell, Geoffrey Hill, and Seamus Heaney. Through attentive close readings, James shows how their responsiveness to matters of political and cultural import lends weight to the idea of poetry as authoritative utterance—but also how each is exercised by a sense of the limitations and liabilities of language itself.
