"These were not twiggy herbs but plants with substance, weight, curves, and shadows that impacted the mind like great abstract sculptures. They suggested alien life forms, flying saucers, flesh, intertwined bodies, amorphous beasts, crystalline structures, rock, lava, monoliths."
"They are so unlike the stereotypes of plant forms that, for the inexperienced, attending an annual cactus and succulent show for the first time is like being introduced to an alien world. The terms 'otherworldly', 'out of a science fiction movie', and 'lunar' are regularly applied when describing these plants as well as some of
the landscapes they inhabit. No other group quite compares in the long-term artistic and aesthetic rewards provided from growing these species."

Pachyforms is a complete guide to the selection and cultivation of the increasingly popular group of plants known as  caudiciforms and pachycauls, species that develop thick bodies with sculptural forms. In Pachyforms, you will find information that will allow you to grow some of the most impressive plants in the world: baobabs and boojum trees; members of the passionflower family with bodies as large and wide as a witch's cauldron; species in the cucumber family that acquire the form of flying saucers; yams with complex geometric forms; morning glories with gorgeous flowers and egg-shaped weathered bodies...
This new updated edition of Pachyforms is illustrated with
more than 680 color photographs and packed with practical advice, including cultivation notes on more than 180 species.

Beautiful Retelling of the Christmas Story
Format: Hardcover
I've really appreciated reading from The First Nations Version over the last couple of years, and I'm excited for this book to make it easier to share with a younger audience! One of the things I appreciate about the FNV is how well it flows as a story, and this picture book is no different. It transitions smoothly from the Luke portion to Matthew. The illustrations are lovely watercolors and give me new imagination for Jesus coming for all people. I already bought copies for my nephews, and I'm looking forward to giving them to them for the Christmas season.

Native American telling of the Nativity
Format: Hardcover
Intriguing. Told through Native American thought. I've shared it with others who in turn have purchased it for their grandchildren. Led me to purchase the New Testament translated by the same person.

Wow.
Format: Hardcover
Not only did Terry Wildman knock the retelling out of the park, the artists created a visually stunning representation of the story. I am in awe and can’t wait to find worthy applications of this book.
