Perennial Gardens for Texas

A perennial garden is an ever-changing source of delight. Each season brings new colors and textures in flowers and foliage. As the years go by, perennial plantings mature and interweave into forms more beautiful and surprising than a season's growth of annuals can ever give. Best of all, a perennial garden can grow almost anywhere with plants suited to local soils, temperatures, and rainfall. This book is a complete guide to perennial gardening in Texas and similar regions of eastern New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. In Part One, Julie Ryan offers a historical sketch of cottage gardens and perennial borders, with a sampler of some of their modern variations. In Part Two, she defines the major ecological regions of Texas and, with words and color photographs, takes you on a tour of lovely public and private gardens in each region. You'll find all the "how to" information for creating your own garden in Part Three. Ms. Ryan describes and pictures over 300 flowering perennials, bulbs, foliage plants, and old roses suitable for Texas gardens, with lists of companion annuals, vines, shrubs, and small trees. Accompanying charts provide quick reference to each plant's preferred regions and cultivation requirements. In addition, Ms. Ryan discusses how to design a garden and select plants, prepare the beds, and deal with garden pests. She concludes with substantial lists of resources, including mail-order suppliers of perennials, bulbs, and old roses.

The mistakes children make in mathematics are usually not just 'mistakes' - they are often intelligent generalizations from previous learning. Following several decades of academic study of such mistakes, the phrase 'errors and misconceptions' has recently entered the vocabulary of mathematics teacher education and has become prominent in the curriculum for initial teacher education. The popular view of children's errors and misconceptions is that they should be corrected as soon as possible. The authors contest this, perceiving them as potential windows into children's mathematics. Errors may diagnose significant ways of thinking and stages in learning that highlight important opportunities for new learning. This book uses extensive, original data from the authors' own research on children's performance, errors and misconceptions across the mathematics curriculum. It progressively develops concepts for teachers to use in organizing their understanding and knowledge of children's mathematics, offers practical guidance for classroom teaching and concludes with theoretical accounts of learning and teaching.Children's Mathematics 4-15 is a groundbreaking book, which transforms research on diagnostic errors into knowledge for teaching, teacher education and research on teaching. It is essential reading for teachers, students on undergraduate teacher training courses and graduate and PGCE mathematics teacher trainees, as well as teacher educators and researchers.

Julie Ryan is an inventor, entrepreneur, medical intuitive and psychic whose learned skills have helped many families understand the glorious side of the dying process. This process involves angels, multitudes of deceased family and friends, the spirits of deceased pets, and countless serendipitous (and miraculous) moments that are all part of a prescribed series of events she calls the Twelve Phases of Transition™. During what is normally an incredibly heart-wrenching time, families almost always experience profound comfort once Julie describes what’s happening from the perspective of the spirit world—including which spirits and deceased pets from the “other side” have come to assist the dying person, what the person needs and whether they are in pain (when they can’t talk for themselves), and how close they are to actually passing.The information Julie coveys brings peace at a time that seems filled with anything but peace, and a new way for those left behind to embrace life through what they learn about the experience of death.Reading the remarkable, heartwarming, and even amusing stories in this book will change your life.

This new text is designed to simulate the experience of a first-year associate in transactional law practice. Through a series of realistic exercises and assignments based on actual transactions, the student is introduced to typical transactions, the demands of law practice, and typical forms of communication in which he or she will be expected to engage. The book is designed to provide law students interested in transactional practice with a practical paradigm for developing their transactional lawyering skills through simulation and practice exercises. This book is unique in its holistic approach: from the first chapter, the student is immersed into the role of a first-year associate, exposed to realistic matters in the form and substance a junior associate will likely encounter in practice. Part I focuses on fundamental skills applicable to any context. Part II addresses the nuances of communication in context: communicating with a partner or senior associate; communicating with the client; and communicating with other lawyers. Part III provides an overview of key transactional practice areas. Each chapter begins with Chapter Objectives. In-chapter pedagogy includes Simulation Exercises and Practice Notes. Boxed features highlight key information, for instance Key Techniques for Effective Office Memos. This text goes beyond the technical aspects of legal writing or contract drafting in the abstract, exposing the student to writing, thinking, and problem-solving in the context of transactional lawyering. It also goes beyond simply creating assignments and exercises that focus on transactional as opposed to litigious issues; rather, it seeks to train students to think like a transactional lawyer and to approach any given legal issue or assignment as a transactional lawyer, whether it is drafting a contract, sending an email to a client, or negotiating a deal point with lawyers from the other side. The text is suitable for use as a primary text in courses on Transactional Lawyering, in a clinical setting, or in an Advanced Legal Writing class.
