About the book >.>.> Ine, the First King of Wessex by Ray Gibbs presents a historical examination of King Ine, providing a distinct contrast to the more renowned figure of King Alfred. While Alfred has often been celebrated as 'great' and 'perfect', Gibbs utilises limited historical sources to portray Ine's reign and significance in a more nuanced light. This book seeks to reassess the legacy of Wessex's early kings, particularly focusing on Ine?s contributions and challenges.Gibbs draws upon the scant historical documentation available to construct a narrative that highlights the complexities of Ine's rule. This engaging account invites readers to explore the political and social landscape of early medieval England, shedding light on the foundational years of Wessex. Through a careful examination of Ine's reign, the author provides insights into the development of leadership and governance in this formative period. By presenting a well-researched portrayal of King Ine, the book encourages readers to reconsider traditional narratives surrounding early English monarchs. Ine, as depicted by Gibbs, emerges as a pivotal figure whose legacy is worthy of recognition and study, expanding the understanding of Wessex's evolution before Alfred's time. The book ultimately contributes to a more rounded comprehension of early English history and the rulers who shaped it, offering an accessible yet informative read for those interested in this historical era.

That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.
