 Free Download Phil Sparrowhawk, Martin King, Martin Knight, "Grass" English | 2004 | ISBN: 1840188928, 1840187069 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.3 mb Grass is the incredible story of Phil Sparrowhawk, a working-class boy with gambling in his blood. He enjoyed an incredible run of luck, but finally rolled the dice once too often. With his large capital base, he launched a business importing clothes. Enter Howard Marks, who introduced him to the far more lucrative world of drug smuggling. Phil struck out on his own and from his new base in Thailand became involved in many large-scale cannabis deals, while at the same time developing highly successful legitimate businesses. The winning streak came to an end when the US Drug Enforcement Agency closed in. Phil's fortune was promptly confiscated and he spent the next four years in two of Thailand's most notorious jails before being extradited to the US, where he served further time in a series of penitentiaries.

In their place we eat processed factory foods - and we've witnessed a growing epidemic of disease, from type-2 diabetes to heart disease and cancer.

It tells a universal story of small-town life where every face is familiar and people's immediate experience is hardly touched by national trends or ideologies. Jagielski intrudes on the intimate lives of the inhabitants to give us writing that jumps off the page for its immediacy, scope, and ambition. Never before has there been a book about South Africa like this.

Free Download Ian Moore, "Grass and grasslands" English | 2013 | pages: 223 | ISBN: 0007311095 | EPUB | 4,2 mb The use of natural and seeded grass pastures for the feeding of livestock and other unfamiliar uses for the ubiquitous grass family are described in this succinct and beautifully illustrated work. This edition is exclusive to newnaturalists.comThe New Naturalist series has already covered many facets of the interrelationship between man and nature, but the grass family is probably the most important man in the whole plant kingdom - just how important is shown in this book. Dr. Moore, the Principal of Seale Hayne Agricultural College in Devon, is our leading authority on grasses and their utilization. His special interest is the use of natural and seeded grass pastures for the feeding of livestock. Striking advances have been made in recent years in the improvement of such pastures and Dr. Moore deals very fully with this vital link in the feeding of the human race; but he also covers that other equally important role of the grass family in our economy, the cultivation of cereal crops for the production of grain. Grass lawns and playing fields form a centre-piece in most British gardens and public parks and there is a chapter on these, but the horticultural value of grasses as ornamental plants in herbaceous borders and woodland gardens is less well known.These and many other unfamiliar uses for the ubiquitous grass family are described in this succinct and beautifully illustrated work.  Free Download Angie Lederach, "Feel the Grass Grow: Ecologies of Slow Peace in Colombia" English | ISBN: 1503634647 | 2023 | 300 pages | PDF | 30 MB On November 24, 2016, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia signed a revised peace accord that marked a political end to over a half-century of war. Feel the Grass Grow traces the far less visible aspects of moving from war to peace: the decades of campesino struggle to defend life, land, and territory prior to the national accord, as well as campesino social leaders' engagement with the challenges of the state's post-accord reconstruction efforts. In the words of the campesino organizers, "peace is not signed, peace is built." Drawing on nearly a decade of extensive ethnographic and participatory research, Angela Jill Lederach advances a theory of "slow peace." Slowing down does not negate the urgency that animates the defense of territory in the context of the interlocking processes of political and environmental violence that persist in post-accord Colombia. Instead, Lederach shows how the campesino call to "slowness" recenters grassroots practices of peace, grounded in multigenerational struggles for territorial liberation. In examining the various layers of meaning embedded within campesino theories of "the times (  Airplane Performance on Grass Airfields by Jaroslaw A. Pytka English | 2023 | ISBN: 1000877248 | 152 pages | True PDF | 14.62 MB  James Carlos Blake, "Red Grass River: A Legend" English | 2000 | ISBN: 0380792427, 0380974932 | EPUB | pages: 384 | 0.5 mb James Carlos Blake is a masterful chronicler of the restless, outcast, the lawless, and the lonelyheart. His previous novel, In the Rogue Blood, was awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction. Now he has written a powerful and rousing historical saga of family loyalties, blood feuds, and betrayed friendships; of bank robberies and bootlegging; and of a passionate love as wild at heart as the Everglades. It is the story of sworn enemies: John Ashley, a criminal and folk hero, the brightest star in a family destined to become the most notorious in south Florida; and Bobby Baker, a lawman born of lawmen, a violent, hard-hearted man driven by the searing memory of past affronts and the enduring hatreds the engendered. Ashley and Maker will clash many times over many decades. And as the twentieth century encroaches on their world-and the wildlands give grudging way to the rising boomtown of Miami-a feral, sensual mating will place one man in gravest peril...while his adversary contrives a dark, personal vengeance that could leave countless lives-his own included-in ruin. |
