This second edition of The Little Book of Gardening is a comprehensive basic book for gardeners at all levels, a handbook that will not disappoint. It has been completely reorganized into chapters and topics. In addition to very useful information on all phases of gardening, Rhoads has created a checklist for each month to keep up with your garden, provided 1990 and 2006 Hardiness Zone maps and lists of desirable plants for each zone, given up-to-date sources of gardening supplies, presented sample garden layouts, given tips for dealing with problems from animals to weeds, and included seven beautifully detailed drawings of flowers. Rhoads does not take all the credit for his book: "This book is a distillation of my lifelong experience and that of many friends who have read and commented on the manuscript including two professional horticulturists and others whose gardens I admire." This second edition was edited, designed, and published by Susan Else Wyman of Wyman House Publications with illustrations by her granddaughter, Jordan Else Pemberton, honors graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy, Presidential Scholar in the Arts, and freshman at MICA (Maryland Institute-College of Art).

<p><div>The foreign builders of nineteenth-century treaty ports in China saw themselves as the wave of the future that must sooner or later engulf the country. "Backward" China, they believed, would come to emulate the "progress" whose banner these Western outposts so confidently flew. Behind these expectations there lay not only the supreme self-confidence of the nineteenth-century West, but the earlier and concurrent Western colonial experience in most of the rest of Asia. Economies were commercialized under the impetus of foreign investments in production and transport, and the market was widened in more general terms. The new port cities, founded or dominated by foreigners in most cases, experienced boom growth and soon became the largest in each country, even though they had scarcely existed or were small towns before the seventeenth century.</div> <div><i>The Treaty Ports and China's Modernization</i> argues that, far from being just a commercial or industrial phenomenon, the port cities introduced a flow of ideas and non-economic institutions that was perhaps of greater revolutionary importance in the long run. The modernization spurred by the ports entailed institutional, organizational, and ideological adjustments to a new commercial, industrial, and national order, as well as the early emergence of Asian nationalism. The port cities constituted a working model of dynamic nineteenth-century Europe, functioning as points of entry into Asia of an alien Western order at a time when the West was in the midst of vigorous economic, technological, and institutional growth and when, as it happened, most of Asia was experiencing a period of relative deterioration. The European impact was correspondingly devastating, not only on the economic landscape but on Asian cultural and national perceptions. The physically unplanned urban growths around ports neatly symbolized the disruption and conflict that they introduced into each Asian order.</div></p>
