In Over Our Heads

The Mental Demands of Modern Life

By: Robert Kegan

Surveying the disparate expert "literatures," which normally take no account of each other, Kegan brings them together to reveal, for the first time, what these many demands have in common. Our frequent frustration in trying to meet these complex and often conflicting claims results, he shows us, from a mismatch between the way we ordinarily know the world and the way we are unwittingly expected to understand it. In Over Our Heads provides us entirely fresh perspectives on a number of cultural controversies - the "abstinence vs. safe sex" debate, the diversity movement, communication across genders, the meaning of postmodernism. What emerges in these pages is a theory of evolving ways of knowing that allows us to view adult development much as we view child development, as an open-ended process born of the dynamic interaction of cultural demands and emerging mental capabilities.

The Apple and Pear as Vintage Fruits

By: Robert Hogg

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on setting up and managing an orchard, with information on growing apples and pears, harvesting the fruit, producing for commercial gain, fertilisation, and much more. Including a wealth of useful information and handy tips, this is a volume that will be of considerable utility to the modern farmer, and one that would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Orchard", "Orchard Trees", "Fruit Management", "Fermentation", "The Orchard in its Commercial Aspect", "Renovation of the Orchards", "Orchard Prospects", "Report on the most Esteemed Varieties of Cider Apples, with their Sections", "List of the most Esteemed Varieties of Perry Pears, with their Sections", et cetera. Many old works such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on making cider. First published in 1886.
