Book excerpt: Horses, history and lilacs are interwoven in Mackinac Island's fabric. The iconic blossoms grow all over the island, from back alleys to the Grand Hotel's hillside to entire hedges at British Landing. The crown jewel is Marquette Park with nearly 115 plants and about 75 varieties. During lilac time in June, a fragrant canopy of color rises as high as 18 feet on the oldest lilacs. Strong winds off the lake have twisted and turned the gnarled branches of these old giants for more than 200 years. Nowhere else on the planet can you find such architecture as this in a lilac. LILACS: A Fortnight of Fragrance on Mackinac Island takes you on a photographic tour of lilacs unfolding in island gardens while sharing insight on when lilacs were first planted here, why they thrive in Mackinac Island's climate, how they inspire artists, and the efforts of Islanders to celebrate and sustain these beautiful plants.

Book Synopsis Revelations in Air by : Jude Stewart
Download or read book Revelations in Air written by Jude Stewart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary, strange, and startlingly beautiful exploration of smell, the least understood of our five senses The nose on your face is the Buckingham Palace Guard of your body, the maitre d' of all taste, as well as the seducer of your imagination, and memory—and Jude Stewart has charmed them all into a wicked, poetic and illuminating tour of their mysterious domains. —Jack Hitt, author of Bunch of Amateurs Overlapping with taste yet larger in scope, smell is the sense that comes closest to pure perception. Smell can collapse space and time, unlocking memories and transporting us to worlds both new and familiar. Yet as clearly as each of us can recognize different smells--the bright tang of citrus, freshly sharpened pencils, parched earth after rain--few of us understand how and why we smell. In Revelations in Air, Jude Stewart takes us on a fascinating journey into the weird and wonderful world of smell. Beginning with lessons on the incredible biology and history of how our noses work, Stewart teaches us how to use our noses like experts. Once we're properly equipped and ready to sniff, Stewart explores a range of smells—from lavender, cut grass and hot chocolate to cannabis and old books—using smell as a lens into art, history, science, and more. With an engaging colorful design and exercises for readers to refine their own skills, Revelations in Air goes beyond science or history or chemistry--it's a doorway into the surprising, pleasurable, and unfamiliar landscape of smell.

Book Synopsis The Ephemeral History of Perfume by : Holly Dugan
Download or read book The Ephemeral History of Perfume written by Holly Dugan and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the other senses, smell has long been thought of as too elusive, too fleeting for traditional historical study. Holly Dugan disagrees, arguing that there are rich accounts documenting how men and women produced, consumed, and represented perfumes and their ephemeral effects. She delves deeply into the cultural archive of olfaction to explore what a sense of smell reveals about everyday life in early modern England. In this book, Dugan focuses on six important scents—incense, rose, sassafras, rosemary, ambergris, and jasmine. She links these smells to the unique spaces they inhabited—churches, courts, contact zones, plague-ridden households, luxury markets, and pleasure gardens—and the objects used to dispense them. This original approach provides a rare opportunity to study how early modern men and women negotiated the environment in their everyday lives and the importance of smell to their daily actions. Dugan defines perfume broadly to include spices, flowers, herbs, animal parts, trees, resins, and other ingredients used to produce artificial scents, smokes, fumes, airs, balms, powders, and liquids. In researching these Renaissance aromas, Dugan uncovers the extraordinary ways, now largely lost, that people at the time spoke and wrote about smell: objects “ambered, civited, expired, fetored, halited, resented, and smeeked” or were described as “breathful, embathed, endulced, gracious, halited, incensial, odorant, pulvil, redolent, and suffite.” A unique contribution to early modern studies, The Ephemeral History of Perfume is an unparalleled study of olfaction in the Renaissance, a period in which new scents and important cultural theories about smell were developed. Dugan’s inspired analysis of a wide range of underexplored sources makes available to scholars a remarkable wealth of information on the topic.

In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One woman, an impossible dream, and the faith it took to see it through, inspired by the life of Hulda Klager German immigrant and farm wife Hulda Klager possesses only an eighth-grade education—and a burning desire to create something beautiful. What begins as a hobby to create an easy-peeling apple for her pies becomes Hulda’s driving purpose: a time-consuming interest in plant hybridization that puts her at odds with family and community, as she challenges the early twentieth-century expectations for a simple housewife. Through the years, seasonal floods continually threaten to erase her Woodland, Washington garden and a series of family tragedies cause even Hulda to question her focus. In a time of practicality, can one person’s simple gifts of beauty make a difference? Based on the life of Hulda Klager, Where Lilacs Still Bloom is a story of triumph over an impossible dream and the power of a generous heart. “Beauty matters… it does. God gave us flowers for a reason. Flowers remind us to put away fear, to stop our rushing and running and worrying about this and that, and for a moment, have a piece of paradise right here on earth.”

Book Synopsis A Scent of Lilac by : LaMoine MacLaughlin
Download or read book A Scent of Lilac written by LaMoine MacLaughlin and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Scent of Lilac" is a collection of poems which makes reading poems once again fun and enjoyable. The poems cover a wide range of subject matter and emotional exploration. Any successful poem lifts into flight upon wings of music and magic. A poem¿s music sings from the poet¿s skillful use of craft. A poem¿s magic swirls from the poet¿s skillful use of imagination. So much twentieth century poetic experimentation drives Walt Whitman¿s elegant beginnings into the dark, blind alleys of private, prosaic expression. Significant exceptions exist: most notably, W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost, and W. H. Auden, and we must remember that Emily Dickinson was essentially ¿discovered¿ during the twentieth century. Poetry should be shared with your friends and neighbors. However, most contemporary poetic attempts reach no general audience and leave the life of poetry hanging by a very thin thread indeed. Anyone who denies the declining number of poetry readers during the late twentieth century lives on some other planet. Real poetry should at least attempt to communicate with ordinary human beings, those readers and listeners whom you might meet while shopping in your local supermarket, or while having coffee at your local cafe. These poems attempt to do just that: to communicate and to share experiences with people I know, and love, and respect, without condescension or apology. These are poems in which you can find delight, poems which you may find yourself rereading now and then, perhaps even sharing them with someone else.
