Written by Virginia Grohl, the mother of Dave Grohl—former Nirvana drummer and current frontman for the Foo Fighters—From Cradle to Stage shares stories and exclusive photos featuring mothers of rock icons, the icons themselves, and their Behind the Music-style relationships While the Grohl family had always been musical-the family sang together on long car trips, harmonizing to Motown and David Bowie-Virginia never expected her son to become a musician, let alone a rock star. But when she saw him perform in front of thousands of screaming fans for the first time, she knew that rock stardom was meant to be for her son. And as Virginia watched her son's star rise, she often wondered about the other mothers who raised sons and daughters who became rock stars. Were they as surprised as she was about their children's fame? Did they worry about their children's livelihood and wellbeing in an industry fraught with drugs and other dangers? Did they encourage their children's passions despite the odds against success, or attempt to dissuade them from their grandiose dreams? Do they remind their kids to pack a warm coat when they go on tour? Virginia decided to seek out other rock star mothers to ask these questions, and so began a two-year odyssey in which she interviewed such women as Verna Griffin, Dr. Dre's mother; Marianne Stipe, Michael Stipe of REM's mother; Janis Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's mother; Patsy Noah, Adam Levine's mother; Donna Haim, mother of the Haim sisters; Hester Diamond, Mike D of The Beastie Boys' mother. With exclusive family photographs and a foreword by Dave Grohl, From Cradle to Stage will appeal to mothers and rock fans everywhere.
Raised Bed Gardening for Beginners by Arthur Duke Pdf
Have you ever thought to build a Raised Bed Garden, but you don't have any idea on how to get started with? Do you have small space? Do you think your land is unsuitable? Raised-bed gardening is resorted when adequate gardening spaces are not available or when available soil is inappropriate for gardening. It gives multiple advantages to gardeners like improved soil, suitable planting time, simplified weed/pest control and most of all, increased yield. Its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages and is thus a preferred method of gardening, in limited spaces, for amateurs as well as professionals. The development of raised beds requires an understanding of complex farming systems that use many of the methods and principles of permaculture. Employed effectively, they can assist in controlled recycling, avoidance of soil degradation, conserve its nutrients, and development of a sophisticated irrigation system. Inside this illustrated guide, you will understand the involved techniques. An effort has been made to impart an understanding of raised bed gardening in a methodical and easy to learn manner. The reader will be able to conveniently grasp a complete understanding of the subject and embark on the project with complete confidence. Through this book, you will learn: - Why should people choose raised bed gardening (a discussion on advantages and disadvantages). - Building a raised bed garden, its planning considerations; techniques involved in building and its layouts. - Planting preferences, techniques, and best yield strategies, including ideas on what to plant, how to plant, when to plant and in which combinations. - Irrigation and fertilization management, including water systems, drainage mechanisms to be installed, and methodologies for using fertilizer. - Pest and disease control strategies through innovative means. - Raised bed gardening is a truly delightful and profitable venture. But it's true potential can only be realized, if it is undertaken, after attaining thorough understanding, attained through reading a structured material, to guide you through this truly technical nature project. This book will provide you all, and you need to embark on it. What are you waiting for? Scroll to the top of the page and select the buy now button!

Methods in Rock Magnetism and Palaeomagnetism by D. Collinson Pdf
During the last 30 years the study of the magnetic properties of rocks and minerals has substantially contributed to several fields of science. Perhaps the best known and most significant advances have resulted from the study of palaeomagnetism, which led to quantitative confirmation of continental drift and polar wandering through interpretation of the direction of remanent magnetism observed in rocks of different ages from different continents. Palaeomagnetism has also, through observations of reversals of magnetiz ation, ancient secular variation and ancient field intensities provided data relevant to the origin of the geomagnetic field, and other investigations have contributed significantly to large-scale and local geological studies, the dating of archaeological events and artefacts and more recently to lunar and meteoritic studies. Rock and mineral magnetism has proved to be an interesting study in its own right through the complex magnetic properties and interactions observed in the iron-titanium oxide and iron sulphide minerals, as well as contributing to our understanding of remanent magnetism and magnetization processes in rocks. Simultaneous with the development of these studies has been the develop ment of instruments and techniques for the wide range of investigations involved.
