Homestead Sanctuary by K. Beasley Pdf

Born and raised on a quarter horse farm in Montana, Alex’s plan for the future was college and eventually running the family ranch. That plan changed after the attack on September 11, 2001, when Alex joined the Army in order to defend the United States of America. When a promising military career is cut short by a life-altering injury, Alex is forced to return to Montana in an attempt to heal a broken body, mind, and soul. Coaxed into providing a sanctuary for an injured horse, Alex begins to understand when you save an animal, that same animal finds a way to save you in return. As the difficulties of running an animal sanctuary unfold, so do the challenges of everyday life. Adjusting to a new way of living, Alex must find a way to deal with the past while embracing the future. In Homestead Sanctuary, Alex narrates the uplifting and often-comical adventures of the animals and people who find themselves part of the journey. In addition to the incredibly special horse named Ma Jolie, you will meet a variety of animals, including a pig named Liberty rescued from an overturned semi, a blind filly named Miracle, and a very clever pup named Tapa. As word gets out about the animal rescues and all the fun-filled activities, it is not long before the community of Kalispell takes notice. With the assistance of some amazing volunteers, Homestead Sanctuary becomes a place of healing for both the animals and the people of Montana. Realizing the complexity of the world we live in, Homestead Sanctuary is a heartwarming adventure that opens the door for conversations regarding animal abandonment and abuse, as well as human issues such as a disability, autism, suicide, and PTSD.

Guta Lag and Guta Saga: The Law and History of the Gotlanders by Christine Peel Pdf

Guta Lag, the law of the independent island of Gotland, is one of the earliest laws of Scandinavia. The historical appendix to the law, Guta Saga, was written in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. Together, Guta Lag and its accompanying Saga provide an invaluable insight into the lives of the people living on Gotland, the largest of Sweden’s Baltic islands, in 1000-1400. Guta Lag and Guta Saga: The Law and History of the Gotlanders is the first time that these two important texts have been translated into English and combined in one edition, accompanied by an extensive commentary and historical contextualisation by Christine Peel. In the Viking Age, the island of Gotland maintained its own law and administrative system. It was distinctive among Swedish provinces, retaining its own laws until 1645 while mainland provincial laws were all superseded by national law in the mid-fourteenth century. Preserved in eight manuscripts, it illustrates the everyday life and administrative system of the people of Gotland. Guta Saga tells the story of the island from its discovery by the legendary Þieluar, who removed the enchantment upon it which led to its inhabitation. Read together, the texts provide a complete picture of an island unique among Scandinavian provinces, offering a rare view of everyday people in medieval Scandinavia. This innovative and timely translation will be fascinating and essential reading for scholars of Scandinavian studies and legal history.

Surviving by Henry Green Pdf

Edited by the author's grandson, the novelist Matthew Yorke, and with an Introduction by John Updike, this book is an excellent selection of Henry Green's uncollected writings. It includes a number of outstanding stories never previously published, written during the '20s and '30s ("Bees", "Saturday", "Excursion", and the remarkable "Mood" among them). It contains a highly entertaining account of Green's service in the London Fire Brigade during the War; a short play written in the 1950s; and a selection of his journalism, including revelatory articles about the craft of writing, a marvellous evocation of Venice, a description of falling in love, reviews which illuminate his literary enthusiasm and the entertaining interview with Terry Southern for the Paris Review. It is rounded off with a biographical memoir by Green's son, Sebastian Yorke. Fascinating and invaluable as an introduction to Green, Surviving casts new light on his work and illustrates the many facets of this exceptional writer, one of the two most important English novelists of his time.

Sanctuary Line by Jane Urquhart Pdf

Alice Munro hails Urquhart's "most compelling depiction of the sense of place in human lives." "Urquhart's writing is poetic, in the sense that it is beautifully compact and restrained when describing the most powerful emotions," says The Times. The author Claire Messud praises her as having "a great gift for the historical novel, for the melding of ideas, events and individuals into a significant whole." In Sanctuary Line Urquhart has created a nuanced and moving novel about family legacies, love, and betrayal. Solitary, nostalgic Liz Crane returns to her family's now-deserted farmhouse--once the setting for countless happy summers spent on the northern shore of Lake Erie--to study the migratory habits of the Monarch butterfly. Encompassing all the colorful stories and blarney of successful Irish immigrants who have made the most of their relocation to North America, the Cranes' rich family history is now circumscribed by sadness. Liz's beloved cousin Amanda, a gifted military strategist, has been killed in Afghanistan, a loss that had been foreshadowed many years in the past by the disappearance of Amanda's charismatic father. Reflecting on the fragility and transience of human life and relations--mirrored in the butterflies' restless flight patterns and transcontinental migrations--Liz finds that love is there to be found where, and when, you least expect it.

Homestead by Jan Suzukawa Pdf

Homestead is the first book in The Queendoms Trilogy. It is the fifth novel in The Queendoms Series that begins with The Califia Trilogy (Rebellion, The Hunt, Queen of Califia) and Second Bond. It is a time of peace in the queendoms civilization. Built on the ruins of the male-dominated civilization that collapsed four hundred years ago on the former North American land mass, the queendoms thrive by imposing female rule and principles that support the safety of women and girls and the equal sharing of resources for all. Anming Lee, Queen’s Knight and leader of the knights that protect Queen Jacintha and the Queendom of Califia, now lives in the castle with his bond mate Kellen Cassidy. While on the surface all is calm, a sense of unease moves through the three inland queendoms of Califia, Madrona and Rio. In Madrona, young Queen Lilith struggles to handle the responsibilities thrust on her upon her mother Queen Genevieve’s death, while her older brother Prince Adam, fearing the queendom lacks defenses, continues his secret training to turn the Oak Vale temple members into a deadly fighting force. On a special island in the Rio Queendom, survivors of the Seesun marsh abuses gather to heal and to form a new society without men. But on another island south of Madrona, a new danger is brewing. The former Seesun leaders have started a new settlement of men with a different goal. They call it the homestead.

The Resilient Farm and Homestead by Ben Falk Pdf

The Resilient Farm and Homestead is a manual for developing durable, beautiful, and highly functional human habitat systems fit to handle an age of rapid transition. Ben Falk is a land designer and site developer whose permaculture-research farm has drawn national attention. The site is a terraced paradise on a hillside in Vermont that would otherwise be overlooked by conventional farmers as unworthy farmland. Falk's wide array of fruit trees, rice paddies (relatively unheard of in the Northeast), ducks, nuts, and earth-inspired buildings is a hopeful image for the future of regenerative agriculture and modern homesteading. The book covers nearly every strategy Falk and his team have been testing at the Whole Systems Research Farm over the past decade, as well as experiments from other sites Falk has designed through his off-farm consulting business. The book includes detailed information on earthworks; gravity-fed water systems; species composition; the site-design process; site management; fuelwood hedge production and processing; human health and nutrient-dense production strategies; rapid topsoil formation and remineralization; agroforestry/silvopasture/grazing; ecosystem services, especially regarding flood mitigation; fertility management; human labor and social-systems aspects; tools/equipment/appropriate technology; and much more, complete with gorgeous photography and detailed design drawings. The Resilient Farm and Homestead is more than just a book of tricks and techniques for regenerative site development, but offers actual working results in living within complex farm-ecosystems based on research from the "great thinkers" in permaculture, and presents a viable home-scale model for an intentional food-producing ecosystem in cold climates, and beyond. Inspiring to would-be homesteaders everywhere, but especially for those who find themselves with "unlikely" farming land, Falk is an inspiration in what can be done by imitating natural systems, and making the most of what we have by re-imagining what's possible. A gorgeous case study for the homestead of the future.
