Gifts from Nature

Matthew Mead; Jill, Kirchner Simpson; Kirchner Jill

Gifts from Nature provides more than one hundred inspiring home-decorating projects, gift ideas, and festive holiday designs that embody and enhance the unspoiled beauty of nature. Each section highlights one of the four seasons and contains information and ideas to help you get the most from every time of year. Learn how to gather branches for forcing and make an Easter garland from dyed eggs in the spring. For the summer, Matthew explains how to keep cut flowers fresh and reveals which found beach treasures create a beautiful mantelscape. Autumn is the time to press leaves and use them for decorating tables and walls, and to bake a Wild Grape and Cranberry Cobbler. And winter is your opportunity to make a personalized wreath or stocking decorated with natural materials or to create homemade Christmas balls from small pinecones, acorns, or cranberries. Matthew Mead's love for nature is contagious, and he teaches you not only how to make beautiful natural craft projects for keeping or giving, but also how to appreciate nature, how to bring it indoors, and how to preserve it.

Shadow Lands: Selected Poems

Matthew Mead; Johannes Bobrowski; Ruth Mead

Johannes Bobrowski is widely regarded as the most important German poet of this century. He began to write poetry on the Eastern Front in 1941 where, as a 24-year-old German soldier in Kaunas, he saw the "slavering wolves" of the SS drive the "grey processions" over a hill to death. A prisoner-of-war in Russia until 1949, he returned to Berlin to write with a purpose: to inform his countrymen of the history and myths of Eastern Europe and to preserve the memory of his childhood home. The poems in Shadow Lands reflect Bobrowski's hope, in the words of Michael Hamburger, "that he might succeed poetically in bearing witness to that vanished world", that is, the world of Eastern Germany before the war. With an almost surreal lyrical beauty, he evokes the pre-Christian era of the gods and heroes of the ancient Prussians. The poems also resonate with the most eloquent and picturesque descriptions of Bobrowski's homeland - its rivers, its forests and quiet villages - ultimately leaving us with a sense of "the hiddenness of all perfect things". Personally intense and far-reaching, these poems have been treasured for their originality, their beauty, and their broad and lasting appeal.
