    Fundamentals of Chinese Characters

    03
    Fundamentals of Chinese Characters focuses on the connections between the shapes and meanings of basic Chinese characters, enabling students to learn to recognize and write Chinese characters before they learn to speak Chinese. Presenting fundamental knowledge of Chinese characters according to their intrinsic regularity rather than in the sequence often used in teaching spoken Chinese, this book enables teachers to offer students a course on Chinese characters alongside a Chinese language course at the elementary level. With interactive exercises, rhymes for all the characters covered in the book, and illustrations for all the basic characters, this book makes learning Chinese characters easy and fun.

    Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine

    05
    BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is an unprecedented glimpse into the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking, influential and enduring artists.

    ‘If there is anything new to be discovered about Bob Dylan, you can probably find it in The Bob Dylan Centre… Now the Bob Dylan Centre is publishing its first book, essentially the archive in miniature: Bob Dylan: Mixing up the Medicine. It is a 608-page tome examining over 1000 images and objects culled from the collection by archivists and curators Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel.’ – The Telegraph

    Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma. The documents, as essential as they are intriguing―draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera― comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.

    Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans as well as a broader cultural audience.

    Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes―his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.

    The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.

    With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but also their own.

    BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the magnum opus every Bob Dylan fan has been waiting for since the 60s and will be a landmark publication for the ages.

    How to grow amazing organic vegetables: How to use the 5 fundamental building blocks of Organic gardening to successfully grow your own vegetables

    08

    There’s a secret to successful organic gardening — and when you know what it is, your garden does all the hard work for you.

    It will perhaps come as no surprise that Jamie Oliver grows his own organic vegetables. After all, if you’re a top chef, you need the highest quality, freshest ingredients for your recipes.

    But access to high quality ingredients shouldn’t be limited to the top chefs.

    Growing organic vegetables is one of the most natural things you can do to cultivate a healthy (and delicious) lifestyle.

    Yet, despite the lure of clean, nutritious vegetables, completely free of harmful chemicals, many people are intimidated by the idea of organic gardening.

    • What about the pests?
    • How do I deal with weeds?
    • How will I keep my tomatoes free from disease?

      They’re all valid questions, and if you’re worried about them, you’re in good company.

      The majority of domestic gardeners still use conventional methods — and this means they’ll resort to weed killers and chemical slug pellets when their crops are under attack.

      But the beauty of organic gardening is that it’s all about prevention rather than cure.

      You’ll never be able to completely escape the odd snail or dandelion… but when you start your garden with organic methods from Day 1, you can significantly reduce your chances of running into problems with pests and diseases… and that means you’ll have far less reasons to even think about using chemicals.

      It all comes down to creating a self-nourishing environment that encourages biodiversity. Do that, and you’ll have a garden that supports your crops… so you don’t have to.

      In How to Grow Amazing Organic Vegetables, you’ll find everything you need to build a successful organic vegetable patch from the ground up. You’ll discover:

      • The 5 fundamental building blocks of organic gardening — and how to use them to build a successful vegetable patch
      • Essential tools and equipment for organic gardening success
      • The #1 component of a thriving organic garden — and how you can cultivate it in yours
      • Everything you’ll ever need to know about home composting (and why it’s essential for your garden)
      • Why crop rotation is your secret weapon in organic growing (and how to do it easily)
      • Seed-sowing tips to encourage a productive harvest
      • What to do to manage pests, weeds, and diseases (because not even the most ecologically balanced garden is completely immune)
      • Helpful harvest and storage tips so you can make sure all of your bounty is well-used
      • A month-by-month guide to successful gardening maintenance
      • Hardiness zones demystified (with helpful information for gardeners in the US, the UK, Australia, and Canada)
      • Detailed growing guides for the easiest vegetables for organic-gardening newbies

        And much more.

        If the idea of pest control and weed management has put you off the idea of growing organically, you’ve been missing the key principle of organic gardening.

        When you have a clear plan from the very beginning, you can make your garden do the work for you… and you’ll reap the rewards in the form of the tastiest, most nutrient-dense harvest you could possibly hope for.

        If you’re ready to turn your backyard into a thriving world of organic treats, then scroll up and click “Add to Cart” right now.

    The War Twins of London: A WWII Historical Fiction Novel (World War II Brave Women Fiction Book 2)

    08
    When the war hits London, all they have is each other.

    Identical twins Maggie and Tillie are thriving in 1940s London. Waitresses in one of the city’s finest institutions and both with budding romances, the war could not feel farther away.

    But, slowly, the tides begin to change. The war in Europe is creeping toward the UK, and the men are being called to aid in military efforts. Tillie’s fiancé Colin joins the RAF, flying dangerous missions over Germany, and Maggie’s childhood love Micah finds himself far away in France, with no way to return. Devastated but determined, the twins resolve to do their part for their country – Maggie in the Women’s Voluntary Service and Tillie for the British Red Cross.

    Then, the Blitz begins. And everything changes.

    Nightly airstrikes wreak havoc on the city, leaving ruin in their wake. Ambulance shifts for Tillie become desperate missions to pull injured women and children from the rubble, while the constant fear for the fates of their beloveds, far from home, is almost too much for the girls to bear.

    And when tragedy strikes for both sisters, they know nothing will ever be the same again.

    Will the twins be strong enough to protect themselves and the ones they love? And can true love really prevail when the skies are darkened by war?

    02
    These Piano Anthologies contain pieces which have been carefully selected from previous piano exam lists dating from 1988 to 2006. All of the pieces in these volumes have proved popular with piano students, teachers and listeners, and we are pleased to be able to make them available again in these new collections.

Some familiar pieces are present in these volumes, but they include pieces additionally from composers who have had a distinguished career in the role of teacher or student at LCM. Amongst the former are William Lloyd Webber and Martyn Williams, and amongst the latter are Nicholas Grace and John Guilfoyle, who now have eminent academic and professional musical careers.
