Log Cabin
How close to a boundary fence can you build a one storey Log Cabin without planning permission in the UK?
If possible please state the maximum height a pitched roof can be. The cabin will be more than 5 metres from the main house and take up less than half the garden. Also does getting planning permission for a log cabin often enable you to build closer than if you didn’t have it?
It can be a maximum of 4 metres high if it has a ridge under “Permitted development 2008 ”
(Statutory instrument 2362, 2008) You need to be minimum of 2Metres from the boundary. You need not apply but it is advisable to get a “certificate of lawfulness” to prove it complies with the permitted development guidelines.(SI 2362 2008). You may not live in this cabin. You are not allowed to have sleeping accommodation in such a building.
If you make a formal planning application you may be able to position it closer than 2 Metres from the boundary. In the case of formal planning permission, neighbours receive notice from the Planning Dept.If you apply for formal permission you may apply to have it habitable but it will need to
comply with Building Regs for habitable buildings which is much more onerous than a garden cabin.
Your Building control dept will have a leaflet on garden buildings also.The local guidelines where I am state that if a building of no more than 30M2 is closer than 1M to boundary then it needs to be built from substantially non-combustible materials.Sort of rules out log cabins does it not?
So you need to see your local Building Control Guidelines for garden buildings also.

2-Second Commute: Join the Exploding Ranks of Freelance Virtual Assistants $14.99 Virtual Assistants work from home, providing everything from administrative support to high-end consulting via email, phone and fax. Predicted to be a $130 billion industry by 2008, they don’t commute, they set their own hours, and they get to spend time with their kids. Wouldn’t you like to be a VA, too? Christine Durst founded the Virtual Assistant industry in 1995 from a basement office in rural Connecticut. Michael Haaren, an ex-Wall Street attorney (who grew up in a log cabin), was one of her clients. Together they launched Staffcentrix, a leading VA training company, and the International Virtual Assistants Association, built the first Portable Career/Virtual Assistant Training Program for the Armed Forces, presented at the United Nations, and transformed the Virtual Assistant movement into a global phenomenon. Drawing on years of experience training and mentoring Virtual Assistants around the world, Chris and Mike take the mystery out of home-based virtual careers, and help you avoid the common pitfalls, too. In The 2-Second Commute, you’ll learn how to: • Market the skills you already have • Overcome shyness to get the work you want • Launch your VA business on a shoestring • Use the business to strengthen your family • And much more! The 2-Second Commute’s self-assessment exercises will help you decide whether the VA path is a good fit for you, or if you need to acquire new skills before setting out. Interviews with successful VAs, VA clients, and telework industry experts will help you find good clients and projects ASAP (and avoid bad ones), and leverage your first assignment toward a foundationof consistent cashflow that meets your financial and work-life goals. Along the way, you’ll meet people who will support and inspire you to do what you, too, may have often longed to do – bid farewell to the rat race, earn a respectable income, and spend more time with your |

A History of the British and Foreign Bible Society (Volume 2) $26.18 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.Excerpt from book:Section 3CHAPTER XXVI FROM LABRADOR TO PATAGONIA (l.) The establishment of the American Bible Society was hailed as the dawn of a new epoch in the history of the New World. Men’s hearts were uplifted by the thought of placing a copy of the sacred book under every roof in the States, from the rich cities on the Atlantic shore to the log cabin in the backwoods. One hundred and thirty societies were already in existence when the American Bible Society was established ; of these, 43 at once enlisted themselves under its banner, and 41 new societies were founded for the express purpose of co-operating in its labours. In 1817 there was a further accession of 24 of the early societies, and an addition of 49 new Auxiliaries. In 1818 the Auxiliaries had increased to 194; in 1821 to 233; in 1824 to 396. Influenced by local considerations, a few of the early bodies maintained for a time their independence of action ; but gradually they yielded to the necessity for unity of action and combination of forces, and gave in their adhesion to the great national organisation. The Louisiana or New Orleans Society was attached in 1825, and the confederation was completed in 1839 by the acquiescence of that of Philadelphia, the first of all the Bible institutions established in the New World. Year by year it grew in influence, in resources, in the range and magnitude of its operations. In the first twelve months of its activity it circulated 6410 Bibles; in the second year, 17,594; in *he third, it printed 49,320 Bibles VOL. H. D *»and 24,000Testaments, which, with 2450 Bibles in Gaelic, German, Welsh, and French obtained from other sources, made an aggregate issue of 105,270 copies of the Scriptures between 1816 and May 1819. In 1821 the issues had risen to a total of 226,552. These striking expansions co… |

A Love Story $12.31 Derek had called a few days ago and invited me to go up to a cabin with a group of them over the 3 day weekend I agreed to go. There were 2 cars every seat was taken Derek was driving he looked behind him and said: “Sidney why don’t you sit on Scott’s lap I am sure he won’t mind.”I looked at Scott who had been slouching in the back he straightened up his voice squeaked as he spoke: “Sure that would be okay.”So I climbed thru the crowded car and tried not to trip and fall onto him. Our eyes met, he moved his arms to accommodate me I put my right arm behind his neck as I went to sit on him. “Let me know if I need to adjust.”At first Scott sat ridged after a stop at the gas station for ice and snacks we were on our way to the cabin. Scott relaxed after a while and placed his arms around me. I sure did like how that felt. It took us about an hour and 45 minutes to get up there. I eventually ended up between Scotts legs and I leaned back against him with my head on his shoulder. Every once in a while he pointed out something beautiful in the scenery. There really wasn’t a whole lot of room up at the cabin. It was a small 2 bedroom with a living room/kitchen. I didn’t know most of the people there only Scott, Derek, and Chad. I was wondering why I had agreed to come up to the cabin everyone were seniors except for Scott and me. The older boys were trying to impress the girls, they were being obnoxious. I was sitting on a log kicking the dirt when Derek came up to me, “Why are you sitting all alone?”I looked at Derek he looked concerned “I just don’t really know anyone, I feel out of place. I was thinking about going on a hike there looks to be a trail over there.”"That’s a great idea, do you want some company?” Derek looked behind him he saw his brother sitting on another log staring a stick in the ground.”Yes that would be nice,” I answered him.Derek stood and waved at Scott, he motioned for Scott to come over and join us. |

More than one hundred of the original illustrations by Paul Landacre highlight the eloquent and entertaining accounts of American trees. As we read Peattie’s descriptions, we catch glimpses of our country’s history and past daily life that no textbook could ever illuminate so vividly.Here you’ll learn about everything from how a species was discovered to the part it played in our country’s history. Pioneers often stabled an animal in the hollow heart of an old sycamore, and the whole family might live there until they could build a log cabin. The tuliptree, the tallest native hardwood, is easier to work than most softwood trees; Daniel Boone carved a sixty-foot canoe from one tree to carry his family from Kentucky into Spanish territory. In the days before the Revolution, the British and the colonists waged an undeclared war over New England’s white pines, which made the best tall masts for fighting ships.It’s fascinating to learn about the commercial uses of various woods—for paper, fine furniture, fence posts, matchsticks, house framing, airplane wings, and dozens of other preplastic uses. But we cannot read this book without the occasional lump in our throats. The American elm was still alive when Peattie wrote, but as we read his account today we can see what caused its demise. Audubon’s portrait of a pair of loving passenger pigeons in an American beech is considered by many to be his greatest painting. It certainly touched the poet in Donald Culross Peattie as he depicted the extinction of the passenger pigeon when the beech forest was destroyed.A Natural History of North American Trees gives us a picture of life in America from its earliest days to the middle of the last century. The information is always interesting, |

A True Picture of Emigration $0.99 “Rebecca’s story is the story of ordinary people concerned with the problem of surviving in an alien environment and ultimately making a success of their venture.”-English Westerner’s Tally Sheet On a frosty day in November 1831, Rebecca Burlend and her husband, John, and their five children debarked at New Orleans after a long voyage from England. They took a steamboat up the Mississippi to St. Louis and from their went to the wilds of western Illinois. It was a whole new world for a family that had never been more than fifty miles from home in rural Yorkshire. Rebecca’s narrative, written with the help of her son, was first published in 1848 as a pamphlet for people of her own class in England who might be considering migration to America. It records the daily struggle and also the satisfactions of homesteading in the Old Northwest: life in a log cabin; food, clothes, and furniture of the period; early churches and schools; the unspoiled countryside and its denizens. With courage and self-reliance Rebecca Burlend accepted the privations and difficulties of this pioneering venture. “Burlend’s book is not just among the best women’s texts on midwestern farm life during the first half of the nineteenth century; it may well be the best document by anyone on that subject.”-Western Historical Quarterly |

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: The Untold Story of The 16th President of the United States $3.99 Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, guided his country through the most devastating experience in its national history–the CIVIL WAR. He is considered by many historians to have been the greatest American president.Early LifeLincoln was born on Feb. 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Hardin (now Larue) County, Ky. Indians had killed his grandfather, Lincoln wrote, “when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest” in 1786; this tragedy left his father, Thomas Lincoln, “a wandering laboring boy” who “grew up, literally without education.” Thomas, nevertheless, became a skilled carpenter and purchased three farms in Kentucky before the Lincolns left the state. Little is known about Lincoln’s mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Abraham had an older sister, Sarah, and a younger brother, Thomas, who died in infancy.In 1816 the Lincolns moved to Indiana, “partly on account of slavery,” Abraham recalled, “but chiefly on account of difficulty in land titles in Kentucky.” Land ownership was more secure in Indiana because the Land Ordinance of 1785 provided for surveys by the federal government; moreover, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the area. Lincoln’s parents belonged to a faction of the Baptist church that disapproved of slavery, and this affiliation may account for Abraham’s later statement that he was “naturally anti-slavery” and could not remember when he “did not so think, and feel.”Indiana was a “wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods.” The Lincolns’ life near Little Pigeon Creek, in Perry (now Spencer) County, was not easy. Lincoln “was raised to farm work” and recalled life in this “unbroken forest” as a fight “with trees and logs and grubs.” “There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for education,” Lincoln later recalled; he attended “some schools, so called,” but for less than a year altogether. “Still, somehow,” he remembered, “I could read, write, and |

Alexandria, Kentucky (Images of America Series) $12.98 Alexandria, the garden spot of Campbell County, is located in the upper area of the Bluegrass State. Its surrounding farmland seemed filled with promise as new settlers began arriving from Virginia and neighboring states in the late 1700s. Following the Revolutionary War, pioneer Frank Spilman came to the area after hearing reports of dense forests and plentiful wild animals. Naming the settlement after his hometown of Alexandria, Virginia, Spilman graciously left 12 acres of land to be reserved for the town of Alexandria upon his death in 1828. Following the town’s incorporation in 1834, the citizens erected the city’s courthouse in 1840, establishing Alexandria as the seat of Campbell County. This book takes readers on a tour of the town’s past, its original frame houses and churches, log cabin homes, farm life, and the events and attractions of the famous Alexandria Fair. |

Alma, Michigan (Images of America Series) $9.82 Ralph Ely, founder of Alma, selected 10 acres of old forest on the bank of the Pine River in 1853. In this central-Michigan wilderness, he built a log cabin, a log store, and two steam-powered mills–a sawmill and a gristmill. At first, his growing settlement was called Elyton, but within a few years, it was renamed Alma, memorializing a battle in the Crimean War. Alma was energized by the acquisition of millionaire lumberman and entrepreneur Ammi W. Wright, who poured his resources into the town. Wright encouraged the establishment of Alma College in 1886 and the state Masonic home for the elderly in 1911. Wright laid the foundations for Alma’s great Republic Truck Company, the largest exclusive maker of trucks in the world by 1920. The discovery of several oil fields prompted the establishment of two oil refineries in Alma in the 1930s and saved the town from the doldrums of the Great Depression. By the 1950s, Alma was a key national manufacturer of house trailers and mobile homes. This photographic panorama reflects the city’s economic cycles and its institutions that have given Alma an enviable stability through the years. |

America’s Architectural Roots: Ethnic Groups that Built America $1.43 “American Ethnic Building Traditions Blend Memory and Experience in Varying Proportions.” Dell UptonWhich ethnic groups introduced the log cabin as a lasting symbol of the American frontier? Who helped turn the front porch into an American institution? Which immigrants built saunas to recall Old World traditions? Where did we get neat, whitewashed row houses, barn paintings and stuccoed arches that now tell us where to find tacos and tortillas?All of these pieces in America’s architectural mosaic came from the varied and industrious ethnic groups that built America. Native peoples, settlers before the Revolution and 19th-century immigrants each contributed their own building patterns to help create what we call American architecture. But each ethnic tradition was changed by the experience of building in America — adapted to new terrains and materials, different climates, existing forms and styles. In the process, a distinctive new architecture developed, one whose multifaceted origins can be traced just as clearly as can ethnic customs in language and food.America’s Architectural Roots is the first book to explore the ethnic derivations of American buildings with such a broad scope. The contributions of 22 groups are highlighted in this fascinating overview that provides an important new way of looking at the buildings that surround us. Groups covered include:Afro-Americans Belgians Chinese Czechs Danes Dutch English Finns French German-Russians Germans Hawaiians Irish Japanese Mexicans Native Americans Norwegians Russians Spanish Swedes Swiss Ukrainians |

Angels and Ages: A Short Book about Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life $11.99 On a memorable day in human history, February 12, 1809, two babies were born an ocean apart: Abraham Lincoln in a one-room Kentucky log cabin; Charles Darwin on an English country estate. It was a time of backward-seeming notions, when almost everyone still accepted the biblical account of creation as the literal truth and authoritarianism as the most natural and viable social order. But by the time both men died, the world had changed: ordinary people understood that life on earth was a story of continuous evolution, and the Civil War had proved that a democracy could fight for principles and endure. And with these signal insights much else had changed besides. Together, Darwin and Lincoln had become midwives to the spirit of a new world, a new kind of hope and faith.Searching for the men behind the icons of emancipation and evolution, Adam Gopnik shows us, in this captivating double life, Lincoln and Darwin as they really were: family men and social climbers; ambitious manipulators and courageous adventurers; the living husband, father, son, and student behind each myth. How do we reconcile Lincoln, the supremely good man we know, with the hardened commander who wittingly sent tens of thousands of young soldiers to certain death? Why did the relentlessly rational Darwin delay publishing his “Great Idea” for almost twenty years? How did inconsolable grief at the loss of a beloved child change each man? And what comfort could either find—for himself or for a society now possessed of a sadder, if wiser, understanding of our existence? Such human questions and their answers are the stuff of this book.Above all, we see Lincoln and Darwin as thinkers and writers—as makers and witnesses of the great change in thought that marks truly modern times: a hundred years after the Enlightenment, the old rule of faith and fear finally yielding to one of reason, argument, and observation not merely as intellectual ideals but as a way |

Antebellum Athens And Clarke County, Georgia $24.95 Published in 1974, Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia is a chronicle of sixty years of change in Clarke County and the city of Athens. In 1801, Clarke County, newly created from Jackson County, was virtually all Georgia farmland, and Athens was a portion of land set aside for the establishment of a state university. In those first years of the century, the university began with thirty or forty students. They received instruction from Josiah Meigs—president and faculty of the university—in a twenty-by-twenty-foot log cabin.By 1846, the population of the county was over four thousand, and the area prospered. Cotton mills dotted the banks of the Oconee River, the Georgia Railroad connected Athens with Augusta, numerous schools and churches had been established, and newspapers, banks, and small businesses were all part of the Athens scene.Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia is rich with detail. This historical narrative recalls not only the growth of industry, government, and education within Clarke County, but also contains many anecdotes of the early people who lived there. The chronology of dates and events and the comprehensive listing of public officials, professional men, planters, and businessmen found in the appendixes of Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia add to the value of this work of local history. |

Arms Wide Open: A Midwife’s Journey $16 A midwife’s memoir of living free and naturally against all oddsIn her first, highly praised memoir, Patricia Harman told us the stories patients brought into her exam room, and her own story of struggling to help women as a nurse-midwife in medical practice with her husband, an OB/GYN, in Appalachia. In this new book, Patsy reaches back to tell us how she first learned to deliver babies, and digs even deeper down to tell us of her youthful experiments with living a fully sustainable and natural life.Drawing heavily on her journals, Arms Wide Open goes back to a time of counter-culture idealism that the boomer generation remembers well. Patsy opens with stories of living in the wilds of Minnesota in a log cabin she and her lover build with their own hands, the only running water being the nearby streams. They set up beehives and give chase to a bear competing for the honey. Patsy gives birth and learns to help her friends deliver as naturally as possible.Weary of the cold and isolation, Patsy moves to a commune in West Virginia, where she becomes a self-taught midwife delivering babies in cabins and homes. Her stories sparkle with drama and intensity, but she wants to help more women than healthy hippie homesteaders. After a ten-year sojourn for professional training, Patsy and her husband, Tom, return to Appalachia, as a nurse-midwife and physician, where they set up a women’s-health practice. They deliver babies together, this time in hospitals; care for a wide variety of gyn patients; and live in a lakeside contemporary home—but their hearts are still firmly implanted in nature. The obstetrical climate is changing. The Harmans’ family is changing. The earth is changing, but Patsy’s arms remain wide open to life and all it offers.Her memoir of living free and sustainably against all odds will be especially embraced by anyone who lived through the Vietnam War and commune era, and all those involved in the back-to-nature and |

As the Cannon Roar $12.22 A glimpse inside the pages of As the Cannon Roar:               Hundreds upon hundreds of stories have been written about the American Civil War. Although set in the Antebellum era of the “Old South” this story is not one of them. This is an in depth study of a family’s struggle to hold onto the only home and the only family they have ever known as the war rages all around them. It is a gritty but true to life story. It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It is full of despicable men doing despicable things. It is a story of love. It is a story of a marriage that is – in that time – frowned upon.Yet in order to tell this heart-rending story of war and love, and as a way to introduce the dreadfully wounded Confederate Artillery Captain, Thaddeus Biggs and his love of a country girl, one battle, that known as  “Malvern Hill,” is used as a backdrop.            Lillie Beth  is the daughter of a poor dirt farmer, Tink Strickland. Tink is an evil man and void of all humanity. His jealousy of the successes of his neighbors tears at him and he will stop at no depravity in his efforts to obtain similar wealth.  Therefore, his family suffers greatly at his hands.            Wounded and near death, a handsome, young Confederate Artillery officer is brought to Lillie’s father’s log cabin which has recently been appropriated as a field hospital. There she soothes the man’s heated brow with a wet cloth and cool well water and appoints herself as his nurse.Little does Lillie know the wounded man suffering on the tick-mattress upon the floor is from the wealthiest family in all of North Carolina. But knowing only poverty,  such wealth has no meaning to her. Her life changes drastically when Captain |

Attraction Of The Compass $23.86 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III. LANDING IN DAWSON CITY, YUKON TERRITORY. Yes, we landed in Dawson, cold, wet, and hungry, after floating down the Yukon River from Atlin. It was in the fall of the year, and our scow was one of the last down the river, and we daily expected it to be frozen in, before we could reach Dawson. My complete outfit consisted of a sled and two hundred pounds of provisions, my blankets and three dogs; for while stranded for several days on the sand bar of an island in the Yukon River, we had adopted a poor, starved dog, which had been abandoned the winter before, or had strayed from some camp. Upon landing in Dawson I had but two dollars and a big responsibility. In those days two dollars would not go far, for I have known of fresh potatoes selling for one dollar apiece, and other things in proportion. Just about dark, I met a man whom I had known slightly in Skagway, Alaska, and he showed me an empty log cabin, in which he said we might bunk, until a more suitable place was found. At that time I did not explain that the girl with me was not my wife, and it would have made but little difference anyway, as very few couples in that country were married. They would simply pick up a companion and go on seeking a fortune, trying to stick strictly to their own business. So, through the slush and snow, we, pulling our outfits, followed our new-found friend. When we reached the cabin and opened the door, to our surprise, there were other occupants; a young Jew from New York, and a tall Englishman, commonly known as the “remittance man,” usually an undesirable citizen in that country. His allowance from England had been suddenly cut off. His relatives had sent him to Dawson to try and make a fortune, or a living, or to get rid of him, it made but little difference whi… |

Augusta, Kansas $48 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Augusta is a city in Butler County, Kansas, United States, at the confluence of the Walnut and Whitewater Rivers. The population was 8,423 at the 2000 census. The confluence of the Whitewater River and the Walnut River was originally inhabited by Native Americans who found the tableland ideal for hunting and fishing. In 1868 C.N. James settled in the area and built a log home to serve as a general store and trading post. He paid $40.00 for the land title from the U.S Land Office. He named the new settlement after his wife, Augusta. The James family original log cabin structure still stands at its original location. |

Aurora, Illinois (Postcard History Series) $13.52 Covered wagons brought a wave of migration to northern Illinois in the mid-1830s. On April 1, 1834, the first permanent white settlers, Joseph McCarthy and two assistants, paddled up the Fox River. The vicinity was known as Waubonsie’s Village at that time. They built a log cabin, a dam across the Fox, and eventually a sawmill. The village had about 400 Native Americans who bartered fish for bread and tobacco. For almost 175 years now, growth has been steady and sure, and the city of Aurora is the second-largest metropolitan area in Illinois. Aurora is home to honorable civic institutions, excellent education, and a multicultural and energetic population. |

Bangor, Maine: Volume 1 (Images of America Series) $14.67 Bangor is a city that has grown in many ways since Jacob Buswell and his family, the first white settlers, built their log cabin by the Penobscot River in 1769. Over the course of the nineteenth century, Bangor developed into a cosmopolitan center of Maine, but to this day it retains some of the proud characteristics of a town that was once the lumbering capital of the world. Collected in this fascinating visual history are over 200 photographs that together reflect the city’s rich and diverse history. The photographs show more than a century of change, with stirring images of four-masted schooners in the harbor, of log drives, of floods, and of fires. People fill the book: Amelia Earhart and Presidents Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Nixon, and Kennedy pictured on visit; the Brady Gang, shot by the FBI in 1937 as the nation’s most wanted criminals; and especially the hardworking men and women who built Bangor into the “Queen City of the East.” |

Berry College: A History $39.95 Illustrated with more than a hundred photographs, this is the most detailed and comprehensive history to date of Berry College, located in northwest Georgia. Ranging from Berry’s modest beginnings in 1902 as a trade school for rural Appalachian youth to its present-day standing among the Southeast’s best liberal arts colleges, the book tells how Martha Berry’s founding vision–to educate the head, the heart, and the hands–evolved to meet the challenges of each new generation. The photographs, many of them rarely seen before, capture happenings at Berry over its first century: preparations for the world wars, visits by renowned benefactors, student protests, expansions of campus facilities, and diverse aspects of daily life in and out of the classroom.Parts of Berry’s history have achieved legendary status–the story, for example, of how Martha Berry was inspired to start a school after visiting with poor mountain children in her log cabin. Ouida Dickey and Doyle Mathis separate myth from fact as they address Berry’s traditions, controversies, and triumphs and relate important developments at Berry to wider events in Georgia and Appalachia.As Berry graduates and career-long members of its faculty and staff, Dickey and Mathis themselves are part of the Berry tradition. Their meticulous research draws on a rich trove of documents to reveal a story that surpasses many of the familiar and beloved tales connected to the school. Berry’s enviable standing–as a model for work-study colleges nationwide, as a place intimately tied to the cultural life of its region, as a choice recipient of philanthropy–makes this new book important to historians, scholars of higher education, and thousands of Berry students, faculty, and alumni. |

Bloomington and Indiana University, Indiana (Images of America Series) $14.28 Bloomington and Indiana University were linked from the start, grew up together, and still share joys and sorrows 180 years after their founding. The many vintage photographs in this pictorial history bring to life both historical ambiance and transformation in town and gown from the late 1800s to the present. When Monroe County was organized in southern Indiana in 1818, hilly, thickly-wooded Bloomington became the county seat. The first courthouse was a log cabin, and 30 families made up the town. Six years later, when Bloomington’s population had increased to 500, Indiana’s first public institution of higher learning opened with ten students and a single professor. It would grow to become Indiana University, and start building its present campus in 1884. Bloomington prospered during these decades through the presence of IU, as many as 40 industries, and its growing production of limestone. The town’s Beaux Arts courthouse building (1907) and IU’s wooded central campus form Bloomington’s signature twin landmarks. Around them lie many distinctive neighborhoods, a now-extensive campus with Big Ten sports arenas, and a picturesque countryside that draws bicyclists from across the nation. |

Boston to Maine: Poems and Tales from an Immigrant to Maine $9.89 From Boston to Maine: Poems and Tales from an Immigrant to Maine proceeds through the four seasons as it progresses from Cape Ann, Mass., to Norway, Maine, with a story to tell at each stop. With family roots in Labrador and Nova Scotia, where his grandfather was born, author and birder Benjamin Hull calls his work one of migration, going back to northern woods and ways. All proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit the Western Foothills Land Trust.About the author: Benjamin F. Hull was raised in Cape Ann, Mass., a place that is within sight of the coast of Maine when the air is clear. He graduated from Boston College in 1963 with a degree in mathematics and spent thirty years programming computers for high-tech companies in the Boston area. In 1973 he began plotting his northern emigration, became migratory to Maine in 1976, and achieved full-time residency in 1990. From Boston to Maine reflects this northward movement, both in structure and subject. Along the way he introduces a variety of beings–some feathered, some not, some lost, some who have found something or themselves–and tells of odd jobs, from picking apples to stacking pulp wood. With the help of a friend, Hull built the log cabin in northwest Maine where he grows vegetables, makes maple syrup, and fusses over his cat Patches. |

Boy Genius and the Mogul: The Untold Story of Television $14.99 The world remembers Edison, Ford, and the Wright Brothers. But what about Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of television, an innovation that did as much as any other to shape the twentieth century? That question lies at the heart of The Boy Genius and the Mogul, Daniel Stashower’s captivating chronicle of television’s true inventor, the battle he faced to capitalize on his breakthrough, and the powerful forces that resulted in the collapse of his dreams.The son of a Mormon farmer, Farnsworth was born in 1906 in a single-room log cabin on an isolated homestead in Utah. The Farnsworth family farm had no radio, no telephone, and no electricity. Yet, motivated by the stories of scientists and inventors he read about in the science magazines of the day, young Philo set his sights on becoming an inventor. By his early teens, Farnsworth had become an inveterate tinkerer, able to repair broken farm equipment when no one else could. It was inevitable that when he read an article about a new idea — for the transmission of pictures by radio waves–that he would want to attempt it himself. One day while he was walking through a hay field, Farnsworth took note of the straight, parallel lines of the furrows and envisioned a system of scanning a visual image line by line and transmitting it to a remote screen. He soon sketched a diagram for an early television camera tube. It was 1921 and Farnsworth was only fourteen years old.Farnsworth went on to college to pursue his studies of electrical engineering but was forced to quit after two years due to the death of his father. Even so, he soon managed to persuade a group of California investors to set him up in his own research lab where, in 1927, he produced the first all-electronic television image and later patented his invention. While Farnsworth’s invention was a landmark, it was also the beginning of a struggle against an immense corporate power that would consume much of his life. That corporate power was |

Chapters: Buckner Homestead Historic District, Purple Point-Stehekin Ranger Station House, Stehekin School, Golden West Lodge Historic District, Buckner Cabin, George Miller House. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Buckner Homestead Historic District – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The property that became the Buckner farm was originally settled by William (Bill) Buzzard. It is located several miles north of Lake Chelan along the Stehekin River. When Buzzard arrived in 1889, his 160-acre (0.65 km) parcel was the farthest homestead from the Stehekin settlement at the head of the lake. Buzzard built a one-story log cabin on the site, and cleared some land for pasture and cultivation. In 1892, Buzzard shipped 1,000 pounds of potatoes 50 miles (80 km) down Lake Chelan to the town of Chelan, Washington and sold the rest of his crop to local miners. By 1895, Buzzard had planted a small apple orchard and was growing cabbages as well as potatoes. Buzzard also cut cordwood on his property and sold it to the steamboat company that operated on Lake Chelan. According to a 1902 United States Forest Service report on “agricultural settlement” in the Stehekin area, William Buzzard had a three-room house, log barn, and 25 acres (100,000 m) of cultivated land. On 9 November 1903, Buzzard officially purchased his homestead from the United States Government. He later sold 11 acres (45,000 m) to a neighbor. In 1910, Buzzard sold his remaining property to a Californian named William Buckner for $5,000. Instead of a lump-sum payment, Buzzard wanted $50 per month until the total amount was paid. After selling the property, Buzzard moved to Chelan where he lived until his death in 1919. When Buzzard died, Buckner was only one payment short of completing the agreement so he used… More: |

Burials In Ohio $9.53 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Annie Oakley, Ephraim Kingsbury Avery, David Zeisberger, Rex Humbard, Henry Kumler, Sr.. Excerpt: Annie Oakley (born Phoebe Ann Mosey August 13, 1860 November 3, 1926) was an American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter . Oakley’s amazing talent and timely rise to fame led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, which propelled her to become the first American female superstar.Using a .22 caliber rifle at 90 feet Oakley reputedly could split a playing card edge-on and put five or six more holes in it before it touched the ground. Early life According to the Annie Oakley Foundation, she was born in “a cabin less than two miles northwest of Woodland, now Willowdell, in Darke County “, a rural western border county of Ohio . The village of North Star has a road sign stating it is near her place of birth. Her birthplace log cabin site is about five miles eastward of North Star. There is a stone-mounted plaque in the vicinity of the cabin site, which was placed by the Annie Oakley Committee in 1981, 121 years after her birth. The committee misspelled her birth surname on the cast bronze plaque, incorrectly ending in an “s” instead of “y”. Annie’s parents were Quakers from Hollidaysburg , Blair County, Pennsylvania : Susan Wise, age 34, and Jacob Mosey, age 36, married in 1848. A fire burned down their tavern in Hollidaysburg, so they moved to a rented farm (later purchased with a mortgage) in Patterson Township , Darke County. The move occurred sometime between sister Elizabeth’s Hollidaysburg birth in 1855, and sister Sarah Ellen’s Darke County birth in 1857.Born in 1860, Annie was the sixth of Jacob and Susan’s six children. Her father, who had fought in the War of 1812 , died in 1866 at age 66, from pneumonia and overexposure in freezing weather. Her mother |

Bygone Essex $17.43 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:(Breenstefc Cburcb. By Edward Lamplough. THE settler in the wilderness, in his first attempt to house his family, resorts to the most accessible and easily-worked material, and the wattled cabin or log-hut springs into existence. It is not uninteresting to find traces of a similar evolution in the church architecture of England ; but the resort to wood must not be regarded as any indication that stone and brick were not in use, but simply that a temporary building was urgently required, that the means of the builder were circumscribed, and that, therefore, the most accessible and easily-worked material was resorted to. Glastonbury, that once princely pile, had such a beginning, and according to William of Malmesbury, was founded by Joseph of Ariniathea, and consisted of a chapel, the walls of which were constructed of twisted osiers. This primitive building was undoubtedly the first Christian church erected in Britain, and upparently was preserved with religious veneration, being in existence in the eleventh century. In 1032, Canute’s Charter of Glastonbury was written at that place, in the ivooden church, in His Majesty’s presence, although the humble chapel had developed into a magnificent abbey, and covered with its sacred soil the bones of the heroic Arthur, and the wise and pacific Edgar. No doubt the original building was preserved by the monks, and in the midst of more pretentious and enduring buildings, was regarded with that peculiar love for holy things which rested with refininggrace in the hearts of many of the shaven fathers, maugre the gluttony, pride, and narrow superstition of the many. The darkness of paganism closed like midnight over the war-smitten land after the departure of the Roman legions, but the work of regeneration commenced when Augustine . |

CHILDREN OF THE WILD $1.99 This ebook edition has been proofed and corrected and compiled to be read with without errors!***An excerpt from the beginning of:CHAPTER I – THE LITTLE FURRY ONES THAT SLIDE DOWN HILLIn the brown, balsam-smelling log cabin on the shores of Silverwater, loveliest and loneliest of wilderness lakes, the Babe’s great thirst for information seemed in a fair way to be satisfied. Young as he was, and city-born, the lure of the wild had nevertheless already caught him, and the information that he thirsted for so insatiably was all about the furred or finned or feathered kindreds of the wild. And here by Silverwater, alone with his Uncle Andy and big Bill Pringle, the guide, his natural talent for asking questions was not so firmly discouraged as it was at home.But even thus early in this adventurous career, this fascinating and never-ending quest of knowledge, the Babe found himself confronted by a most difficult problem. He had to choose between authorities. He had to select between information and information. He had to differentiate for himself between what Bill told him and what his Uncle Andy told him. He was a serious-minded child, who had already passed through that most painful period of doubt as to Santa Claus and the Fairies, and had not yet reached the period of certainty about everything. He was capable of both belief and doubt. So, naturally, he had his difficulties.Bill certainly knew an astonishing lot about the creatures of the wild. But also, like all guides who are worth their salt, he knew an astonishing lot of things that weren’t so. He had imagination, or he would never have done for a guide. When he knew—which was not often—that he did not know a thing, he could put two and two together and make it yield the most extraordinary results. He felt it one of his first duties to be interesting. And above all, he felt it his duty to be infallible. No one could be |

Classic Hewn-Log House: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building and Restoring $19.95 Nothing captures the romance of country life quite like a log cabin does — trees cut from the thick woods of the wilderness; hewn by hand into squared-off logs; then stacked to create a sturdy shelter, a warm hearth, a welcoming home. Author Charles McRaven knows these traditional structures from the inside out, and from the outside in. He restored his first log house in 1946, at the age of eleven. Since then he has built and restored hewn-log houses all over the country, and is considered the nation’s foremost authority on the topic. McRaven covers everything from hewing the first log to laying the last chimney stone. Readers will first learn about the history and background of these houses. McRaven then dives deep into describing the details of hewn-log construction, beginning with site selection all the way through to the finishing steps such as plumbing and utilities. Clear, how-to line illustrations accompany the text throughout. A fullcolor gallery of finished structures shows that, durable though they are, hewn-log houses are also warm, inviting, and artful homes. |

Chapters: Croatian World War Ii Pilots, Croatian Balloonists, David Schwarz, Dragutin Novak, Cvitan Galic, Mato Dukovac, Franjo Džal, Katarina Matanovic-Kulenovic. Not illustrated. Excerpt: David Schwarz (December 20, 1852, Zalaegerszeg, Hungary January 13, 1897, Vienna) was an aviation pioneer of Jewish descent. Schwarz created the first flyable rigid airship. It was also the first airship with an external hull made entirely of metal. He died before he could see it finally fly. Sources claimed that Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin purchased the patent from his widow, but Hugo Eckener disputed this. David Schwarz was the son of Jewish parents. He was a wood merchant and spent most of his life in Zagreb, then part of Austria-Hungary, now Croatia. Although Schwarz had no special technical training, he busied himself with technology and developed improvements for woodcutting machinery. Schwarz first interested himself with airships in the 1880s. This occurred as he stayed in a Croatian log cabin at the start of winter to supervise the treefelling in a newly purchased forest. As the work took longer than planned he had his wife send him literature to while away the evenings. Because the works of Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo did not appeal to him, an assumption arising from one of his wife’s letters, she sent him a work from Aristotle and a Mechanics textbook. Although Schwarz became excited, it is not altogether clear this inspired him to build his own airship. The wood business suffered due to his obsession and, like other airflight pioneers, his project attracted mockery. Nevertheless his wife Melanie supported him. Schwarz busied himself using aluminium for construction, then a very new material. David Schwarz worked out the construction of his all-meta… More: |

Crossing Boundaries: A Global Vision of Design $18.11 Famed interior designer Vicente Wolf is known for a modern and elegant design sensibility that is guided by integrity and simplicity. He is also a photographer of note, capturing images of his own design work and of his travels. Crossing Boundaries is a fascinating combination of the two, a spirited approach that pairs travel and design based on visits to Ethiopia, Myanmar, Syria, Madagascar, and Borneo. Wolf is an adventurous voyager, and he is captivated by how people express themselves: in the colors and patterns of clothing, the forms and features of architecture, and so on. These influences are incorporated into his own designs, sometimes directly–a collection of brightly colored woven caps that add personality to a Wyoming log cabin–and sometimes indirectly–a composition of gray-blues and gray-greens drawn from succulent plants in a dry riverbed. |

Crystalline Aura $9.95 When a magic crystal is released by the retreating Susitna Glacier in Alaska, and the Dark Orb is unearthed by the flooding of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, an ancient battle, brought to earth twelve thousand years ago, is rekindled. Rahlys, disillusioned with urban life, the commercial use of her artistic talent, and an unfaithful boyfriend, returns to Alaska and purchases Trapper Bean’s log cabin in the pristine wilderness of the Northern Susitna Valley, seeking peace and solitude to paint. Peace and solitude are challenged when a raven, formerly tamed by Trapper Bean, brings Rahlys a strange crystal that glows softly from within with multi-colored light. When Rahlys takes possession of the crystal, she takes possession of Sorceress Anthya’s powers, and a classic struggle between good and evil unfolds. Filled with the natural beauty and magic that is Alaska, Crystalline Aura compels us to believe in the unbelievable, and in the magic within ourselves. |

Divine Home: Living with Spiritual Objects $11.95 For the millions of Americans combining the spiritual and the decorative in their homes—from dramatic crosses in a modern log cabin to handcrafted Native American spirit masks in a sprawling Southwestern ranch—this beautifully rendered book of interior design depicts how the serene touch of religious design elements can be effortlessly incorporated with a modern sensibility.Whether as a reflection of fervent belief, a secular nod to nostalgia, or a purely aesthetic choice, devotional objects such as religious idols, crosses, and Buddha statues have a profound visual power. Within these pages are thirty homes in which works inspired by religious traditions form a vital and varied part of the sumptuous and serene design of these spaces.Some of the people featured in this dramatic book collect with a geographic interest, some define their collections stylistically, and still others choose a historical framework. Yet all of the residences share a distinctly personal touch. Personality, in fact, runs rampant through these interiors that tell stories about the owners, the objects, and the houses themselves, such as CeCe Cord’s sunny Texas residence, John Saladino’s calm California villa, Kelly Klein’s soaring Manhattan loft, and Adrienne Vittadini’s richly textured Florida home.While some of the residents have personal spiritual connections with their pieces—like a Santa Fe psychoanalyst and his varied collections of Outsider art, African works, and Judaica—others merely find in the antiquities a sense of beauty and comfort. An interior designer who updated a rustic Colorado cabin is drawn to decorating with crosses for their geometric appeal as opposed to their religious connotations. In New York and Los Angeles, two different homeowners escape their busy lives in peaceful, calming environments created with Asian art. While the religious or spiritual elements are quite pronounced, they blend seamlessly into |
