What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.
General Sir Michael Rose tells the inside story of one of the toughest challenges of his career, as Commander of the UN Protection Force in Bosnia in 1994. Amidst scenes of inhumanity not witnessed in Europe since the Second World War, he describes how he dealt with individuals who would stop at nothing, even the sacrifice of their own people, to fulfil their personal and political agendas. He sets the record straight on his handling of crises such as the sieges of Sarajevo, Gorazde and Bihac, and portrays the other hazards of his command: the often conflicting objectives of NATO and the UN, the political sensibilities of the troop-contributing nations, the historic loyalties and lobbies of the US administration and the manipulation of international opinion by the media.
A true and very unusual story of two remarkable families, the Meillands in Lyons and the Paolinos in Antibes, who shared a common devotion to roses and later became united through marriage and through their work together; and of the creation of the famous Peace Rose that became known throughout the world at the end of the Second World War.
A Beautiful Rose, Like True Love, Never Fades Esther Stoltzfus considers herself to be down-to-earth, the way most Amish women do. Her marriage to her deceased husband was one borne out of practicality, and Esther sees no reason why God won't replace what He was taken away. When Esther moves to a new community with her daughter, Diana, she meets the handsome minister Isaiah Mast, who has experienced his own loss and appears to be a logical fit to complete their family. But everything changes when Esther is introduced to Joseph Zook, her widowed neighbor down the road. While tending to his treasured roses, Joseph tells stories of his passionate love for his late wife, Silvia—stories that stir a place in Esther's heart she never knew existed. What if she and Isaiah could have the kind of love Joseph and Silvia shared? In the meantime, Joseph gets his own second chance at love with the eccentric Arlene King, even as he knows he will never find another frau like his beloved Silvia. Silvia's Rose is a beautiful story filled with redemption, romance, and risking it all for the reward of true love.

"Because we rose breeders are always looking into the future, always hoping that this year's cross-pollination will yield exciting results for rose lovers to enjoy eight to ten years from now, we must be optimists. Like Papa Meilland and like my rose-growing-and-breeding ancestors before them, I still get a tre­mendous burst of enthusiasm each spring when I see our new crop of seed­lings peeking through the soil in our re­search greenhouses."--from the Preface Meilland tells the story of five genera­tions of his family as they cultivate, experiment with, market, and develop new breeds of the aristocrat of flowers. As he shares the history of this French hor­ticultural elite, he provides an informal treatise on roses, their place in history, and their development under floricul­ture from a simple wild plant to the extravagantly beautiful and complex blooms of today. Meilland takes us into the greenhouses that serve as laboratories and demonstrates how new roses are created, how from a bed of 2,500 seedlings, the result of cross-breeding, there may be only one or two roses selected for propagation and sale. He also permits us a view inside the management and organization of the worldwide rose establishment. Even while dealing with commerce on such a large scale, he doesn't lose sight of the human element: he presents an engaging picture of his grandparents and parents as they became France's premier rose grow­ers through their persistent hard work. The Pilgrims who settled America brought rose bushes with them aboard the Mayflower, and Meilland concludes his book with a chapter of practical advice for those who are following in their floricultural footsteps. In addition, the translators have updated, expanded, and adapted for American rose growers the original section on diseases and pesticides.
