Paperback. Condition: Good. 'A glowing account of the myths and meanings we impose on flowers . . . a book to reread and treasure' John Carey, Sunday Times 'A captivating new book that explores our fascination with flowers . . . A delight' Daily Mail Come rain or shine, flowers feature perennially in the landscape of human history. Their beauty has inspired some of the greatest works of art and literature, captivating creative minds from Ovid to O'Keeffe, Wordsworth to Van Gogh, Botticelli to Beatrix Potter. But flowers have also played a key part in forming the past, and may even shape our future. Some have served as symbols of monarchs, dynasties and nations - from the Wars of the Roses to the Order of the Thistle. And while the poppy is often associated with WWI, it was the elderflower that treated its wounded soldiers, joining a long line of healing flowers that have developed modern medicine, including lavender and foxgloves. From the personal to the political, flowers play a part in all aspects of life: the right rose, according to the Victorian language of flowers, might mend a broken heart, while sunflowers may just save our planet. This beautifully written collection is at once enchanting and intriguing, weaving together art, science, history and horticulture to offer a fresh perspective on the world around us. The Brief Life of Flowers reveals how even the most ordinary of flowers have extraordinary stories to tell. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

No marks or writing observed in text. Binding tight and square. DJ is good with light chipping and soil. . . Edward Grubb (October 19, 1854 - January 23, 1939) was an influential English Quaker who made significant contributions to revitalizing pacifism and a concern for social issues in the Religious Society of Friends in the late 19th century as a leader of the movement known as the Quaker Renaissance. He also wrote a number of hymns including Our God, to Whom we turn.[1] He would later play a major role in the No-Conscription Fellowship, an organization that united and supported conscientious objectors in Britain during World War One. . This book consists of two-minute studies or sermons on the Christian way of living. The author writes from experiance rather than from theory, and his work is marked by lucidity, freshness and charm. While difficulties are faced and not evaded, little attempt is ade to argue out, or even defend, the postions taken, The book should be of great use to preachers and to memebers of study groups on religious topics.
