Gardens are a beautiful and satisfying addition to any landscape. And while mountainous terrains provide their own gardening challenges, you can overcome them with some hard work, an appreciation of the beauty of the mountains, and the compulsion to enhance and beautify your natural surroundings. You will face some setbacks and disappointments, but with a little persistence, you can create a beautiful garden that will last you for years to come. In Blue Ridge Mountain Gardening, author Mike McLeod shares the wisdom and insight he has gained from over thirty years of developing his own garden plots in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Focusing on four principles that center on the use of compost, using native plants, utilizing plants recommended by local professionals, and choosing foliage for year-round color, this detailed book also provides keen insight into irrigation, freeze damage, plant diseases, flower recommendations, and much more. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned professional, this remarkable work—illustrated with stunning photographs—is required reading for anyone living in hilly or mountainous areas who wants to build and maintain a beautiful garden.

Run/Walk for Your Life: Take TA 65 to Reverse Your Age

This is the second in a series of fitness and wellness books by Mike McLeod. The first traces the history of fitness in the United States, including Charles Atlas and Jack Lalanne. It chronicles his own battle to lose weight and be fit beginning with his entry into the Army in 1967. It relates the efforts of a middle aged man with a desk job to stay fit as he gets older. During this time he relied on running. Later on, when his family moved to the hilly area of Asheville, NC, he would run up the mountains and walk down. While living during the week in his high rise apartment building in Washington, DC, he would run up the stairs. In 2016, he competed in the run up the 94 floors of the John Hancock Building.All of these efforts were a result of his interest in high intensity interval training, know as HIIT. However, not every aging person is up to this kind of intense training. Since his last book he has concluded that walking may be as helpful as running up hills for longevity purposes. As an ardent student of history, he looked at the life story of John Adams, who lived to be 90 when medical care was not very good. In the next century President Harry Truman lived to be 88. In the case of Adams he was a farmer as well as country lawyer. He had to plough mules since they did not have slaves in his state. In the case of Truman, he became known as the "incredible walking President" because of his early morning walks outside of the White House grounds.Closer to home, he observed that his own mother lived to be 95, despite her Type I diabetes. He concluded that this happened because she walked two to three miles a day.The author concludes that what has given him a new lease on life at age 75 is the ingestion of TA 65. After another year after his first book, he is more convinced than ever that it is responsible for his good fortune.However, he was constrained to correct one misconception in his last. TA 65 did not cure his Type II diabetes. However, with the help of a stronger prescription drug he has it firmly under control.

The raid on the secret rocket research establishment at Peenemünde on the Baltic coast in August 1943 has gone down in history as one of the most successful and remarkable of the war. The site was virtually obliterated, and the Germans forced to move rocket production and development elsewhere. But it came at a terrible cost. More than 40 bombers and 215 RAF aircrew failed to return. After the war, the bodies of many of those who were killed were recovered by the Missing Research and Enquiry Service (MRES) and buried in Commonwealth war graves. But not all. A series of mishaps and miscommunication led the MRES to search in the wrong place. Funds to continue the search dried up. And with the site falling into Russian hands, and access to British and US search parties severely restricted, the search ultimately had to be called off, and the remaining men commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial as having no known grave. But some of the missing men are still there, waiting to be found.With a foreword from Peenemünde raid veteran pilot George Dunn DFC L d'H, and illustrated with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, Sean Feast and Mike McLeod tell the story of the forgotten graves of Peenemünde, the search to discover the truth about their final resting place, and the chance that their bodies may yet be discovered and returned.
