Book Description
Jack Goody's new book takes as its theme the symbolic and transactional uses of flowers in secular life and religious ritual from ancient Egypt to modern times. He links the use of flowers to the rise of advanced systems of agriculture, the growth of social stratification, and the spread of luxury goods, looking at the history of aesthetic horticulture in Europe and Asia. Other themes which emerge are the role of written texts in building up a culture of flowers; the importance of trade and communications in disseminating and transforming attitudes to flowers; the rejection on puritanical grounds of flowers and their artistic representation, and the multiplicity of meanings which flowers possess. Written from a broad temporal and geographical perspective, this original and wide-ranging book will appeal not only to anthropologists and social historians but also to anyone interested in flowers and their symbolic function across the centuries.

Book Description
Layer upon layer, we build our lives. Some of us are as big as the Rock of Gibraltar, while others are sand pebbles on a beach. One layer at a time; one experience at a time. This defines who we are. Peel back those layers like an onion, and you will expose the true heart of a man, the core of the human psyche. Admire a roses beauty. It has infinite layers of delicate spiraling designs. Each petal is unique, like all of us. My poetry has many layers toohumor, love, wonder, sadness, elation. Like rings on a tree or a single snowflake, not one of us is the same. We make the earth spin. We are all poetry in perpetual motion. Without the poet, what a dull gray world this would be. The following is from my opening poem, Layers: Freedom is a state of mind, Let loose the doves to soar; Breaking through, reborn again, Its just one layer more.

Book Description
On the day Elainas life changed forever, her morning was like any other. She rose to the sounds of water rolling onto the beach and the cacophony of seabirds screeching, Good morning, Elaina! By the next morning, Elaina was an orphan, whisked away to London, England, to be raised by Beatrice and Avery Crawford. And as dark as the intervening night was, so too were Elainas memories of the once-glorious childhood as the much-loved daughter of Mirana, an elf, and Ventor, a vampire. You see, dear reader, for better or for worse, Elainas mind was enchanted by an all-encompassing memory spell, albeit temporary. Thus begins Book One of The Enchanted Destiny Chronicles: The Sword of the Sands written by first-time novelist, Josh Katz. Now, like many magical stories, the beginning goes back a long way. Our story goes back a long way, some six thousand years, when the forces of good defeated the forces of evil in a monumental battle. And as you continue to read Book One, and as Elainas memories begin to return, you will join Elaina and her newfound friends as they solve magical puzzles, battle creatures of darkness, fight in Bound Battle, and oh, so much more as they come face-to-face with their enchanted destiny while seeking The Sword of the Sands.
