2009., Century Call No: MYS Fic Dav Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Marcus Didius Falco Volume: 19Summary Note: HISTORICAL MYSTERIES. For Marcus Didius Falco, agent to the Emperor Vespasian, Alexandria holds fascination and a hint of fear. Beautiful, historic and famously unruly, the great cosmopolitan city wears Roman rule lightly. While his wife, Helena Justina, wants to see the Lighthouse and the Pyramids, Falco has a mission at the Great Library that soon turns out to involve much more than stock-taking its innumerable scrolls. A mysterious death in the world-famous library brings him into immediate conflict with the darker side of academic life. With forensic science in its infancy, even an illegal autopsy fails to find real answers.To solve the crime for the Roman Prefect - if indeed it is a crime - Falco will have to draw on his own doggedness and intuition, at first supported only by Helena's commonsense and the loyal backup of her brother Aulus, who goes under cover as a student among the in-fighting academics.

-- Pois Chiche Kabouli Noir [semences]Click here for more information on the seed library. Click here to view the seeds list. Summary Note: Level/Niveau : Easy/Facile Black seeded chickpea (Cicer arientinum) from Kabul, Afghanistan grows well in our season. Also known as the Black Garbanzo bean, Kabouli Chickpeas are a highly nutritious packet of protein! Quite easy to grow and can be started at the same time regular garden peas are sown. Plants become bushy, reaching 2-3 ft in height. Small round pods are produced, each containing 1-2 black seeds. Most gardeners grow this species as a dry pulse, however, the 'green stage' of the seed is very good when eaten fresh. Planting Instructions: Chickpeas need a long season so starting plants indoors is recommended at least 5-6 weeks before the last frost date in spring. Sow seeds at 1" depth and line out transplants 6" apart. Thin plants to 12" apart after true leaves have developed. Pois chiche à semences noires de Kabul (Cicer arientinum), Afghanistan. Pousse bien dans notre climat. Aussi connu sous le nom de pois chiches noirs, les pois chiches Kabouli sont un paquet de protéines très nutritif ! Assez facile à cultiver et peut être démarré en même temps que les pois de jardin réguliers sont semés. Les plantes deviennent touffues, atteignant 2 à 3 pieds de hauteur. De petites gousses rondes sont produites, chacune contenant 1-2 graines noires. La plupart des jardiniers cultivent cette espèce sous forme de légumineuse sèche, cependant, le «stade vert» de la graine est très bon lorsqu'il est consommé frais. Instructions de plantation : Les pois chiches ont besoin d'une longue saison, il est donc recommandé de commencer les plantes à l'intérieur au moins 5 à 6 semaines avant la dernière date de gel au printemps. Semez les graines à 1" de profondeur et alignez les transplants à 6" de distance. Éclaircir les plantes à 12" de distance après que les vraies feuilles se soient développées.

-- Form and emptiness.2021., Adult, Viking Canada Call No: Fic Oze Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: One year after the death of his beloved musician father, thirteen-year-old Benny Oh begins to hear voices. The voices belong to the things in his house - a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce. Although Benny doesn't understand what these things are saying, he can sense their emotional tone; some are pleasant, a gentle hum or coo, but others are snide, angry and full of pain. When his mother, Annabelle, develops a hoarding problem, the voices grow more clamorous. At first, Benny tries to ignore them, but soon the voices follow him outside the house, onto the street and at school, driving him at last to seek refuge in the silence of a large public library, where objects are well-behaved and know to speak in whispers. There, Benny discovers a strange new world. He falls in love with a mesmerizing street artist with a smug pet ferret, who uses the library as her performance space. He meets a homeless philosopher-poet, who encourages him to ask important questions and find his own voice amongst the many. And he meets his very own Book - a talking thing - who narrates Benny's life and teaches him to listen to the things that truly matter. With its blend of sympathetic characters, riveting plot, and vibrant engagement with everything from jazz, to climate change, to our attachment to material possessions, The Book of Form and Emptiness is classic Ruth Ozeki - bold, wise, poignant, playful, humane and heartbreaking.

Summary Note: Level/Niveau : Moderate/Moyen The French brought this heirloom variety to the United States in the late 19th century where it was used for many years as the standard carrot in the canning industry.
