Not long after he arrives he begins having a series of related dreams about a beautiful woman called Lavender. He falls in love with her because she is "safe"---Spencer has no interest in marriage nor steady girl friend. One Saturday morning two beautiful women, Stefanie and Joanna, who are lesbians, move into a bungalow next to his. Stefanie is a free lance painter. Spencer asks her to paint a portrait of Lavender from his description of her. Soon Spencer falls in love with Stefanie but regards her, as with Lavender, a "safe" situation because she is in a relationship with Joanna. Ultimately, the relationship between Stefanie and Joanna cools and Stefanie falls in love with Spencer. However, Spencer never becomes aware of that and does not declare his love for her. Stefanie, who has never ever had any feelings for a man, does not declare her love for Spencer because she does not understand those feelings, and because she believes he might eventually dump her as he has done with other women. He has always made it very clear to her that he is not interested in anything smacking of a permanent relationship with a woman. the Lavender dreams continue unabated throughout the novel and after a while even Stefanie begins having Lavender dreams. No matter who dreams them the same three people (Lavender, Stefanie and Spencer) are always in them. Sometimes Spencer finds it difficult to separate his dreams from the real world in which he lives. Toward the end of the novel Spencer turns his wasteful life around and, thanks in large part to his love for Stefanie, pursues and obtains his Ph.D. in History from USC (he had obtained a Masters degree in History prior to his army service). Then he is hired as a professor at USC. This is the happiest time of his life and he finally decides to tell Stefanie that he loves her regardless of how she might take the news. But something intervenes to delay that confession. in the end do the two worlds, that of the dreams and that of the real existence, merge as one, or is one world shed in deference to the other?LavendersTherapeutic useCALIFORNIALESBIANSFICTIONLavendersTherapeutic use.Mansfield James1432680National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (U.S.),GPOGPOBOOK9910703331303321Lavender3577683UNINA04094nam 22008053 450 991035020390332120240209211617.0978275921931527592193139782759218066275921806610.35690/978-2-7592-1806-6(CKB)2550000001044531(EBL)3398771(MiAaPQ)EBC3398771(WaSeSS)IndRDA00061223(FRCAIRNINFO)FRCAIRNINFO-QUAE_DUGUE_2012_01(MiAaPQ)EBC6733983(Au-PeEL)EBL6733983(OCoLC)841169939(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/31351(PPN)170599051(MiAaPQ)EBC7272921(Au-PeEL)EBL7272921(FR-PaCSA)88813305(MiAaPQ)EBC7272924(ScCtBLL)3427082c-ea68-49e3-a91c-10a69b890591(FRCYB88813305)88813305(oapen)doab31351(EXLCZ)99255000000104453120240209d2012 uy 0freur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAppuyer les organisations de producteurs /Marie-Jo Dugue, Denis Pesche, Jean-Francois Le Coqéditions Quae2012Versailles Cedex, France :Editions Qu ;Wageningen, Pays-Bas :CTA ;Presses agronomiques de Gembloux :Gembloux, Belgique,2012.©20121 online resource (147 p.))Agriculture tropicales en poche,1778-65689782759218059 2759218058 Includes bibliographical references and index.""Quelles actions mettre en Å?uvre ? Quels moyens mobiliser et par qui ? ""Pour la Banque mondiale, l'appui aux OP est une dimension incontournable des nouvelles politiques en faveur de l'agriculture et se justifie pour au moins deux raisons : les OP sont conçues comme une composante importante de la société civile, en mesure de faire pression pour améliorer la gouvernance du secteur agricole ; elles sont aussi un acteur possible de la mise en œuvre des politiques. Beaucoup de gouvernements ont aujourd'hui compris tout l'intérêt qu'ils avaient à pouvoir disposer d'interlocuteurs crédibles pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre des politiques agricoles et rurales. Ce contexte favorable aux dynamiques d'organisation des producteurs ne doit pas cacher les faiblesses et les difficultés qu'elles rencontrent. L'accès à des ressources financières stabilisées, l'accès à l'information et aux connaissances, l'accès à des ressources humaines de qualité restent encore difficiles pour de nombreuses OP donc les capacités de gestion et d'organisation sont encore parfois perfectibles. L'appui aux OP constitue donc un enjeu important dans l'accompagnement des transformations de l'agriculture pour les pays du Sud et les partenaires de la coopération au développement.Agriculture tropicales en poche,1778-6568.AgricultureEnvironmental aspectsDeveloping countriesRural developmentDeveloping countriesSustainable developmentDeveloping countriesAgriculture and stateDeveloping countriesRural developmentInternational cooperationSustainable developmentInternational cooperationAgricultureEnvironmental aspectsRural developmentSustainable developmentAgriculture and stateRural developmentInternational cooperation.Sustainable developmentInternational cooperation.Dugue Marie-Jo862184Pesche DenisCoq Jean-Francois LeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910350203903321Appuyer les organisations de producteurs4209818UNINA
