Ranging through the late nineteenth century, the Belle Epoque, the 'roaring twenties', and the emancipatory post-war years, Rosemary Lancaster highlights the contributions of nine remarkable women to the cultural identity of the Riviera in its seminal rise to fame. Embracing an array of genres, she gives new focus to feminine writings never previously brought together, nor as richly critically explored. Fiction, memoir, diary, letters, even cookbooks and choreographies provide compelling evidence of the innovativeness of women who seized the challenges and opportunities of their travels in a century of radical social and artistic change"--Provided by publisher.Faux titre ;volume 442.Literary landmarksFranceRivieraWomen authors, AmericanHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraWomen authors, EnglishHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraWomen authors, FrenchHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraWomen authors, RussianHomes and hauntsFranceRivieraRiviera (France)Intellectual life20th centuryRiviera (France)Intellectual life19th centuryRiviera (France)BiographyLiterary landmarksWomen authors, AmericanHomes and hauntsWomen authors, EnglishHomes and hauntsWomen authors, FrenchHomes and hauntsWomen authors, RussianHomes and haunts840.9/9287Lancaster Rosemary1471657MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794133503321Women writing on the French Riviera3856722UNINA03821nam 2200649Ia 450 991078278270332120230721004237.01-281-87897-997866118789790-8135-4581-110.36019/9780813545813(CKB)1000000000691951(EBL)370487(OCoLC)476205582(SSID)ssj0000121956(PQKBManifestationID)11130294(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000121956(PQKBWorkID)10110904(PQKB)11426598(OCoLC)966768240(MdBmJHUP)muse54536(DE-B1597)529142(DE-B1597)9780813545813(Au-PeEL)EBL370487(CaPaEBR)ebr10256741(CaONFJC)MIL187897(OCoLC)1164121503(MiAaPQ)EBC370487(EXLCZ)99100000000069195120080226d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrChristmas trees for pleasure and profit[electronic resource] /Robert D.

Robert Wray has updated this fourth edition to include the latest techniques and tools for harvesting trees, new methods of transport, the most recent data on herbicides, and advice on how to run a Christmas-tree business today. A perennial bestseller, this illustrated guide covers selecting land, choosing species, planting, harvesting, and managing a plantation. Wray provides guidance for choosing species suitable for the grower's situation, where and how to get planting stock, and how to care for it. The planting process is described in detail, including both hand and machine methods. The book presents useful techniques for protecting the growing trees from weeds, animals, fire, insects, and disease, and offers a full description of shearing or shaping trees to improve their form and densityùkeys to a successful crop. As the grower's job is not done until the trees are sold, issues of grading, harvesting, advertising, and marketing are examined. A chapter on finances deals with costs, profits, and taxes. From novice to experienced grower, there is something in this book for everyone.
