The Garden In Asia is a novella by Melville Davisson Post. Post was an American author known for his mystery fiction. Excerpt: "It was the voice that he could not escape from. That voice was real. The singing was real. He could differentiate the effects from the voice. The effects were illusions, but that haunting, heavenly voice was a reality! He could no more doubt the reality of it than he could doubt the reality of the sunlight, or the outline of the forest in the distance, or his hand. The voice was real, and it affected him as had no other singing in the world."

Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... xxviii sayonara all mortal joys have their term; and, in their L transitory nature, lies the prime secret of their keenness. At last the golden months ebb towards their end, and the evil hour of departure draws near. From Japan, away over the illimitable seas, the stern fates call the wanderer homewards. Summer drowzes across the country, in a glory of gold; the air is heavy with the scented warmth of flowers; the full tides of life pulse in every blade, in every sigh of the laden air; through the gilded mists of summer-time Japan lies supine and immobile in the passion of her sleepy contentment. But the filthy ships are coaling for their departure, and the moment of the wanderer approaches. Ere this the house is packed and folded, left clean for its owner. Bath and kuruma have been despatched across the world, to stand desolate in the corridors of a Yorkshire country house, where British propriety and British independence will for ever forbid their use. With them are gone pictures, china, oddments of eight months' accumulation. The garden has been stripped of its collected treasures, which have been sent to the kindly Teuton of the great Yokohama nursery, who has promised, in their time, to send them after us to England. Meanwhile, among the domestics depression rules. The cook, indeed, has long left us in hopes of betterment, but his successor prepares meals for his master with sauce of overflowing tears--at least, so Wataguchi informs us. He offers us little gifts--a pan of flowers, to set beside his predecessor's departing offering of an earthenware shell, with an attendant gnome. As for Wataguchi, his demeanour has the old calm gaiety, but his heart proclaims that it is agitated. He has conceived a great desire to accompany his...

Established in 1859, Singapore's Botanic Gardens has served as a park for Singaporeans and visitors, a scientific institution, and a testing ground for tropical plantation crops. Each function has its own story, while the Gardens also fuel an underlying narrative of the juncture of administrative authority and the natural world. Created to help exploit natural resources for the British Empire, the Gardens became contested ground in conflicts involving administrators and scientists that reveal shifting understandings of power, science and nature in Singapore and in Britain. This continued after independence, when the Gardens featured in the "e;greening"e; of the nation-state, and became Singapore's first World Heritage Site. Positioning the Singapore Botanic Gardens alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and gardens in India, Ceylon, Mauritius and the West Indies, this book tells the story of nature's colony-a place where plants were collected, classified and cultivated to change our understanding of the region and world.

Gardens take many forms, and have a variety of functions. They can serve as spaces of peace and tranquilty, a way to cultivate wildlife, or as places to develop agricultural resources. Globally, gardens have inspired, comforted, and sustained people from all walks of life, and since the Garden of Eden many iconic gardens have inspired great artists, poets, musicians, and writers. In this Very Short Introduction, Gordon Campbell embraces gardens in all their splendour, from parks, and fruit and vegetable gardens to ornamental gardens, and takes the reader on a globe-trotting historical journey through iconic and cultural signposts of gardens from different regions and traditions. Ranging from the gardens of ancient Persia to modern day allotments, he concludes by looking to the future of the garden in the age of global warming, and the adaptive spirit of human innovation.
