A kertészet olyan foglalkozás, amely kellő szakértelemmel és szorgalommal gyakorolva nemcsak anyagi hasznot hajt, de egyszersmind sok gyönyörűséget is okoz a vele foglalkozóknak. Ezen kívül pedig egészségi tekintetben is igen nagy jelentőséggel bír, mert akárhány olyan esetet lehetne itt felsorolni, amidőn egyes betegségeknél, mint pl. a hisztéria, neuraszténia s az idegbetegség más nemeiben szenvedők nemcsak megkönnyebbülést, hanem gyakran teljes gyógyulást is elértek a kertészet különböző ágainak odaadó művelése folytán. Azt is mindnyájan tudjuk, hogy az ülő foglalkozást folytató emberekre mennyire felélénkítő hatással bír úgy testileg, mint a kedélyre nézve, ha a romlott, nehéz levegőjű, füsttel telt irodából vagy munkateremből kiszakadva a szabad levegőn bármely, testi erőt igénylő munkát végezhetnek. Azt hiszem tehát, hogy az ilyen emberek közül mindenkit érdekelni fog annak rövid leírása, hogy miként tehetjük magunkat úgy a konyhakerti, mint a gyümölcsös és virágoskertben való munkálkodásunk által saját magunkra és másokra nézve hasznosakká. - írja előszavában maga a szerző. A könyv az 1912-ben megjelent mű reprint változata.

This richly illustrated volume explores the F8U Crusader’s storied role in Cold War and Vietnam-era naval aviation, from setting speed records to earning its reputation as the “Last of the Gunfighters.” With unmatched dogfighting performance and a legacy spanning over four decades, the Crusader remains a standout in the history of carrier-based aircraft. Building upon the expertise of the authors and historians of the Naval Institute Press, the Naval History Special Editions are designed to offer studies of the key vessels, battles, and events of armed conflict. Using an image-heavy format, these Special Editions should appeal to scholars, enthusiasts, and general readers alike. From its first flight in 1955, the F8U Crusader proved to be an extraordinary aircraft, establishing a renowned fighter legacy for naval aviation. Building on its success with the F4U Corsair, aviator pioneer Chance Vought brought the Navy into the supersonic age with the Crusader, the first carrier-based fighter to exceed 1,000 mph in level flight. The Crusader earned the Navy its first Thompson Trophy for military aircraft speed and won the Collier Trophy for its innovative carrier suitability features. In 1957 future astronaut John Glenn set a new intercontinental speed record in an F8U-1P, flying from California to New York in just 3 hours and 23 minutes. At a time when guns were being replaced by missiles, Vought designers retained an integrated aircraft cannon, solidifying the Crusader’s reputation as the “Last of the Gunfighters” and earning the loyalty of its pilots. The contribution of the Crusader to U.S. Cold War operations was substantial. The F8U-1P photoreconnaissance variant, the longest-serving Crusader model, debuted operationally during the Cuban Missile Crisis, providing irrefutable low-level imagery of Soviet activity. During the Vietnam War, Crusader pilots achieved an enviable 6-to-1 kill ratio, outperforming both Air Force and Navy F-4 Phantom pilots—a testament to the aircraft’s maneuverability and the dogfighting ethos of the Crusader’s pilot community. The Crusader retired from U.S. Navy service in 1987, but its legacy endured as it continued to serve with the Philippine Air Force and the French Navy until 1999, forty-four years after its first flight. Author Ernest Snowden, a former naval aviator, provides an in-depth look at the design and operational history of this iconic aircraft, making this book a must-read for air combat history enthusiasts.

A spectacularly illustrated journey into the intimate communities that native trees share with animals, insects, fungi, and microbesYou can tell a lot about a tree from the company it keeps. James Nardi guides you through the innermost unseen world that trees share with a wondrous array of creatures. With their elaborate immune responses, trees recruit a host of allies as predators and parasites to defend against uninvited advances from organisms that chew on leaves, drain sap, and bore into wood. Microbial life thrives in the hidden spaces of leaf scales, twigs, and bark, while birds, mammals, and insects benefit from the more visible resources trees provide. In return, animals help with pollination, seed dispersal, and recycling of nutrients. The Hidden Company That Trees Keep blends marvelous storytelling with beautiful illustrations and the latest science to reveal how the lives of trees are intertwined with those of their diverse companions. Features a wealth of richly detailed drawings accompanied by breathtaking images of microscopic landscapes on leaf, bark, and root surfacesIncludes informative fact boxesDraws on new discoveries in biology and natural historyWritten by one of the world’s leading naturalists

After hitting 24 stone, Kyle Conway found himself imprisoned, not only by his own body, but also by the weight of his mind. And then – something changed. One night, under cover of darkness, he laced up his trainers and began to run. Those first steps were slow, heavy and filled with self-doubt, but they marked the start of a transformation few would believe possible. What began as a desperate attempt to escape obesity soon grew into a relentless pursuit of excellence. Kyle evolved into an ultra-marathon runner, conquering distances most people would never dream of, and he honed his skills as a boxer. His life became a testament to discipline, resilience and the quiet power of determination. But just as he began to live fully in this new identity, life dealt him a cruel blow when he was diagnosed with heart failure. Yet instead of surrendering to despair, Kyle faced his greatest challenge with the same courage that had carried him from darkness into light. His journey is a powerful reminder that strength is forged not in the absence of struggle, but because of it.

From the rustle of a crow’s wings to the cool touch of moss on a stone wall, to the quiet determination of a worm crossing a sidewalk, The Sound of Feathers invites readers to notice the small wonders of life all around them. These fleeting details hold surprising truths about humanity’s connection to nature, the complex relationships of care and harm in which we are entangled, our responsibilities to other species, and what it means to be fully present in the world. Through vivid storytelling and deeply personal reflections, Kathryn Gillespie invites us to slow down, pay attention, and think differently about our everyday lives so that we might imagine shared futures of flourishing. She urges us to confront the forces that separate us from the natural world and find more compassionate ways of living in harmony with it. Gillespie reminds us that the quiet, often overlooked moments in life are where the most profound insights and connections begin.
