The Road And The Roadside
The road and the roadside is a detailed exploration of road construction, maintenance, and their broader implications for society. The work investigates the historical, legal, and practical significance of roads, particularly within the context of Massachusetts law, while advocating for an elevated standard of road building and rural development. The author emphasizes how roads have long served as symbols of civilization and advancement, citing examples from ancient societies such as the Roman Empire to illustrate how well-maintained routes contributed to military strength, trade, and governance. In contrast, the decline of road systems during the dark ages is presented as a reflection of societal regression. Early in the text, attention is drawn to the social and economic value of good roads, framing them not merely as infrastructure but as essential components of community well-being and progress. The discussion intertwines practical advice with philosophical insight, arguing that a nation's roads are both literal and metaphorical pathways to greater unity and prosperity. This opening sets a tone of civic urgency, suggesting that investment in roads is a direct investment in the quality of life for all citizens.

The Last Navigator
As a young man piloting a small sailboat across the Pacific, Steve Thomas developed a fascination with ancient methods of navigation. He learned that, for thousands of years, the peoples of Oceania had sailed unerringly across the Pacific without compass or charts, guided only by natural signs--stars, waves, and the flight paths of birds. In search of this secret knowledge, Thomas traveled to the tiny island of Satawal in Micronesia, home to Mau Piailug, one of the few surviving paliuw, or navigators. In The Last Navigator, Thomas tells how he convinced Piailug to accept him as his student and teach him the closely guarded Talk of Navigation. It is a remarkable book, offering at once a clear and precise account of Micronesian wayfinding and the moving story of one man trying to preserve his culture against the tide of modernity. Now, forty years after his original journey to study under Mau Piailug, Thomas has worked with a new generation of researchers, including natives of Satawal, to prepare this revised edition of The Last Navigator. All Satawalese words are rendered in the now-accepted orthography, and the islanders, originally identified by pseudonyms, appear under their true names. And throughout, Thomas has added a generous selection of color photographs from his time on Satawal, documenting the island, its people, and its seafaring culture. This result is a lasting tribute to the spirit of the Satawalese, and to the Talk of Navigation.
The Interpretation of Cats
"A fount of practical tips for cat owners." --The New York Times From a leading veterinary psychiatrist, a groundbreaking look into the minds of our feline companions and "a guide to being the best humans we can be for our cats" (Focus Vif). Cats are mysterious creatures, and the relationship between humans and cats has never been simple. They are contradictory creatures: curious and aloof, independent and affectionate, predator and prey. Their true nature continues to elude us, and their subtle and complex behavioral problems can often seem unsolvable or incomprehensible. So, how can we tell when our pets are suffering? How can we understand their aggression? And how can we treat patients who can't speak for themselves? In this fascinating book--a bestseller in its native France--veterinary doctor and psychiatrist Claude B矇ata draws on cutting-edge research and decades of experience to revolutionize our understanding of cats and transform our appreciation of feline mental well-being. Here, we meet Nougatine, a Siamese with an aggressive streak; Tabatha, a Ragdoll with separation anxiety; and Melly, an Abyssinian struggling with a feline form of schizophrenia--as well as their owners, who seek advice and support. Through their stories, Dr. B矇ata takes us inside the minds of cats, helping us to improve our relationships with them and love them even more. Charming, surprising, and offering illuminating insight into a range of disorders, The Interpretation of Cats provides readers with a new understanding of cat behavior so we can care for the mental and physical wellness of our beloved furry friends. The result is an indispensable and eye-opening guide to our most enigmatic companions.

Days and Hours in a Garden
Eleanor Vere Boyle (1825-1916) was born in Scotland, the youngest daughter of a wealthy, land-owning family. She found an outlet for her lifelong love of nature and early interest in sketching and painting writing and illustrating books. Because, at the time, it was considered unladylike for women of her social status to have a career, she began with children's books, always signing her books and illustrations E.V.B. Her first book, Child's Play, was published in 1851, and she went on to become one of the most successful women illustrators of the Victorian era, contributing to works by some of the well-known authors at the time, as well as writing and illustrating her own books and articles.After her husband's retirement, the family moved to Huntercombe Manor in Buckinghamshire where she recreated the gardens. Days and Hours in a Garden (1884) is a collection of essays chronicling that garden through the year, with recollections of the changes that had been made to the grounds of the old manor house. Eleanor Vere Boyle wrote other gardening books in the later years of her long career, but Days and Hours in a Garden remains her most popular.
The True Tails of Baker and Taylor
"Not since George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life has someone so lifted the spirits of an entire community. That the 'someone' in this case is, in fact, two library cats makes this true tale of the love of literature combined with a fondness for nose licking all the more magical. This book, like a purring kitten who may also be a genie, should be welcomed into any home."--Francesco Marciuliano, New York Times bestselling author of I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats It all started with mice in the library. Assistant librarian Jan Louch and a coworker decided that what the library needed was a cat. Or, even better, two cats. Soon, they found a pair of Scottish Folds who were perfect for the job. Jan named them Baker and Taylor, and they took up residence in the library. But these cats were much more than mousers. Visitors to the library fell in love with Baker and Taylor and their antics just as Jan had. And then, after Jan let the cats be photographed for a poster, they became feline celebrities. Children from across the country wrote them letters, fans traveled from far and wide to meet them, and they became the most famous library cats in the world. In The True Tails of Baker and Taylor, Jan Louch looks back and tells the remarkable story of these two marvelous cats and the people--readers, librarians, and cat lovers of all ages--who came together around them.

Natural Emergence
This book is an exploration of the ordinary garden nature most gardeners spend their time at odds with - pests and weeds. By observing her reactions to such species, it came as a shock to Alison Ensor, nature lover and permaculture gardener, that she too was separating from nature when in conflict with it.Taking an insightful look into why we believe this fallacy of separation, Ensor intertwines her personal story with the human journey from indigenous belonging to modern disconnection. In particular she looks at the ecological role of maligned species we separate ourselves from the most, highlighting the systems' intelligence in even the most mundane, like slugs, snails, bindweed and brambles.Describing how closely observing and inwardly sensing plants and wildlife led to her own emotional healing and awakening, she gives step-by-step guides for the reader to find this wisdom for themselves. Ensor believes we are continually being 'gardened' by nature, that the messages our bodies give us through emotional reactions and inner sensations are guiding us to the emergence of our true nature - awakened beings living in natural harmony with ourselves, each other and our home planet.
