A Land Remembered has become Florida's favorite novel. Now this Student Edition in two volumes makes this rich, rugged story of the American pioneer spirit more accessible to young readers. Patrick Smith tells of three generations of the MacIveys, a Florida family battling the hardships of the frontier. The story opens in 1858, when Tobias and Emma MacIvey arrive in the Florida wilderness with their son, Zech, to start a new life, and ends in 1968 with Solomon MacIvey, who realizes that his wealth has not been worth the cost to the land. Between is a sweeping story rich in Florida history with a cast of memorable characters who battle wild animals, rustlers, Confederate deserters, mosquitoes, starvation, hurricanes, and freezes to carve a kingdom out of the Florida swamp. In this volume, meet young Zech MacIvey, who learns to ride like the wind through the Florida scrub on Ishmael, his marshtackie horse, his dogs, Nip and Tuck, at this side. His parents, Tobias and Emma, scratch a living from the land, gathering wild cows from the swamp and herding them across the state to market. Zech learns the ways of the land from the Seminoles, with whom his life becomes entwined as he grows into manhood. Next in series > > See all of the books in this series
HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MAN 1. EATS TO DIE. 2. DRINKS TO DIE 3. BREATHES TO DIE. Is The Vegetarian Diet Harmful As Well As The Flesh Diet??? For more than half a century, the author of the course titled LONG LIFE IN FLORIDA, Hilton Hotema, read books on food and feeding, and closely followed the arguments and explanations. He found those who favored VEGETARIANISM omitted all the bad features, and the same course was pursued by those who favored CARNIVORISM. Books favoring VEGETARIANISM say nothing of the damaging qualities of vegetables and cereals. Those favoring CARNIVORISM carefully omit the damaging properties of flesh. These authors lead their readers astray with HALF TRUTHS. A half-truth is more dangerous than a lie, as it is more misleading. “WE EAT TO LIVE, AND WE EAT TO DIE” This statement was issued, by a group of eminent doctors of the 19th century. If we eat to live, how can we eat to die? If we eat to die how can we eat to live? These puzzling questions are considered and answered in this book, first published in 1962. YOU will be given a proper understanding of the word HEALTH and shown HOW we were intended to live in GOOD HEALTH and full of VIM, VIGOR and VITALITY and not like most of the people of today...sick, nervous, irritable, etc. After reading over the manuscript of this course, one of our leading NATUROPATHS wrote: “It is the best I have ever found in the field of health and long life. It is a work whose equal has never been produced.” LEARN the simple laws of COSMIC EXISTENCE, known to the birds and beasts and explained so clearly in these lessons they may be understood by a child, yet as certain in action as the laws of electricity.
An outstanding presentation of life during the "Great Depression" and the dangers of Military flying which he experienced. A "near death" flying experience convinced him that there is a "God of of the Universe" and he has served Him faithfully since that experience

'Magnificent . . . Lauren Groff is a virtuoso' Emily St John Mandel 'A blistering collection . . . lyrical and oblique' Guardian 'Not to be missed . . . deep and dark and resonant' Ann Patchett 'It's beautiful. It's giving me rich, grand nightmares' Observer In these vigorous stories, Lauren Groff brings her electric storytelling to a world in which storms, snakes and sinkholes lurk at the edge of everyday life, but the greater threats are of a human, emotional and psychological nature. Among those navigating it all are a resourceful pair of abandoned sisters; a lonely boy, grown up; a restless, childless couple; a searching, homeless woman; and an unforgettable conflicted wife and mother. Florida is an exploration of the connections behind human pleasure and pain, hope and despair, love and fury. 'Innovative and terrifyingly relevant. Any one of these stories is a bracing read; together they form a masterpiece' Stylist 'Lushly evocative . . . mesmerising . . . a writer whose turn of phrase can stop you on your tracks' Financial Times
International Bestseller All places are not created equal. In this groundbreaking book, Richard Florida shows that where we live is increasingly a crucial factor in our lives, one that fundamentally affects our professional and personal prospects. As well as explaining why place matters now more than ever, Who’s Your City? provides indispensable tools to help you choose the right place for you. It’s a cliché of the information age that globalization has made place irrelevant, that one can telecommute as effectively from New Zealand as New York. But it’s not true, Richard Florida argues, relying on twenty years of innovative research in urban studies, creativity, and demographic trends. In fact, as new units of economic growth called mega-regions become increasingly specialized, the world is becoming more and more “spiky” — divided between flourishing clusters of talent, education and competitiveness, and moribund “valleys.” All these places have personalities, Richard Florida explains in the second half of Who’s Your City?, and happiness depends on finding the city in which you can balance your personal and career goals to thrive. More people than ever before now have the opportunity to choose where to live, but at different points in our lives we need different kinds of places, he points out — what a couple of recent college graduates want from their city isn’t necessarily what a retiree is looking for. You have to find the place that suits you best: a boho-burb neighbourhood isn’t likely to be the best fit for patio man. So, for the first time, Who’s Your City? ranks cities by their fitness for various life stages, rating the best places for singles, young families, and empty nesters. It summarizes the key factors that make place matter to different kinds of people, from professional opportunities to the closeness of family to how well it matches their lifestyle, and provides an in-depth series of steps to help you choose the right place wisely. Sparkling with Richard Florida’s signature intellectual originality, Who’s Your City? moves from insights to studies to personal anecdotes, from a startling “Singles Map” of the United States to surprising data on the difference aesthetics makes to people’s sense of place. A perceptive and transformative book, it is both a brilliant exploration of the fundamental importance of place and an essential guide to making what may be the most important decision of your life.
