Books with author F. King

For more than 40,000 years, Asian farmers worked the same fields repeatedly without sapping the land's fertility and without applying artificial fertilizer! How they accomplished this miraculous feat is described by author Franklin Hiram King, a former official of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. King traveled to Asia in the early 1900s to learn how farmers in China, Korea, and Japan were able to achieve successful harvests century after century without exhausting the soil — one of their most valuable natural resources. This book is the result of his extraordinary mission.A fascinating study of waste-free methods of cultivation, this work reveals the secrets of ancient farming methods and, at the same time, chronicles the travels and observations of a remarkable man. A well-trained observer who studied the actual conditions of life among agricultural peoples, King provides intriguing glimpses of Japan, China, Manchuria, and Korea; customs of the common people; the utilization of waste; methods of irrigation, reforestation, and land reclamation; the cultivation of rice, silk, and tea; and related topics.Enhanced with more than 240 illustrations (most of them photographs), this book represents an invaluable resource for organic gardeners, farmer, and conservationists. It remains "one of the richest sources of information about peasant agriculture [and] one of the pioneer books on organic farming." — The LastWhole Earth Catalog.

Isabella arrives at university hoping to leave her old life behind. She does not pretend to be happy, much less fall in love, she does not believe in that after seeing how men have played with her sister and mother.Connor hopes that this year will be different, more recovered from the death of his mother. They broke his heart when he was a kid and now he only sees women as a distraction, and so he lets them know that with him they can't get to anything else.Two people with a strong character who collide from the first moment they see each other, in which they do not exactly praise what they say to each other, but between them, a feeling arises that departs from the hatred that seems to be created between them.A story is full of feelings, passions, and difficult moments for both of them. Will fate love each other and leave their fears behind? Or will the pain be stronger?

There are those who think that these two things are part of a relationship or marriage as much as love itself. What do you think? I suppose it is counterproductive and silly to think that two things that can cause the end of a relationship, are an essential part of it. I guess also that there may be some truth in that. Can a woman who has become a lovers become a wife?And vice versa. Is it worth waiting for that? There are toy guns and there are real ones; this time I'm going to hit you with the real one, as if we were face to face and not on the phone.
