Which of us, when the shadow of the cross of suffering has fallen across our lives, hasn’t in anguish cried out, “Why, God?” How many of us have sat weeping and helpless with others who were asking the same question? Nothing tests the extreme limits of our faith like sorrow and suffering. Gardiner Spring compassionately draws up a chair next to ours and shares wisdom from God’s Word that will light candles of comfort, hope and meaning for our darkest hours of sorrow. He helps us build a theology of suffering that will benefit us personally and strengthen our ability to walk alongside others who are suffering.
Rich attributes including vibrant color, fragrance, and sheer variety of form make flowering shrubs the most rewarding of garden plants, but this vast group with its scores of tempting plants — including abutilons, camellias, viburnums, and witch hazels — requires careful navigation. Leading expert on woody plants Jim Gardiner has distilled several decades of knowledge and experience into The Timber Press Encyclopedia of Flowering Shrubs, an incomparable pictorial reference of hardy shrubs that excel in temperate-zone gardens. This highly illustrated guide (with 2000 high-quality images) features more than 1700 plants organized alphabetically by botanical name and readily accessed using the common name index. Gardiner has chosen the best flowering shrubs for gardeners, from the Abelia, Buddleja, and Camellia to the Xanthoceras, Yucca, and Zanthoxylum. Essential horticultural notes accompany each entry and include expected height and spread after 10 years, season of flowering, preferred position, soil and pruning requirements, USDA hardiness zone rating, and more. With wise selection and care, flowering shrubs can be the making of a garden irrespective of its size, location, or the time of year. This important new book is the essential reference on the subject that no discerning horticulturist, landscape designer, or gardener should consider being without.

This book describes the recent Scottish independence referendum as the latest incarnation of a contest between two times on one hand, an ideally continuous time beyond determination underpinning financial sovereignty, on the other the interruptions to this ideal continuity inherent in human action.
The author sees writing poetry as a way to capture observations, emotions and philosophical thoughts in a distilled format that helps him re-live them with the same delight at a later date. Poetry also is one of his preferred ways of communicating with others and, if they are moved to a deeper understanding of life through his words, the world becomes for him a less lonely place; hopefully for them also. These poems reflect having left behind his native Irish culture, his feelings at being separated from family due to business trips and what he observed while in foreign countries.
