Description:

Discover the fascinating world of Runner Ducks with this comprehensive guide to Indian Runner Ducks and Pomeranian Ducks. This practical handbook provides all the information you need for successful and species-appropriate duck keeping.
Runner ducks are unique among poultry breeds with their distinctive upright posture and remarkable running abilities rather than flying. This runner duck book explores the origins and distribution of Indian runner ducks across different regions and time periods, while also highlighting the special characteristics of Pomeranian ducks and how they compare to other duck breeds.
The guide covers essential aspects of species-appropriate duck keeping, including legal requirements, minimum space needs, and ensuring animal welfare. Before bringing home your running birds, learn about reliable sources for healthy ducks, necessary equipment, and how to create a stress-free adjustment period for your new flock.
Detailed sections on housing show you how to build weather-resistant shelters, design predator-proof enclosures, and create appropriate water features that satisfy the natural behaviors of these aquatic birds. The nutrition chapter explains the ideal feed composition, seasonal supplements, and feeding techniques to keep your runner ducks healthy.
Health management is thoroughly addressed with information on regular health checks, vaccination programs, parasite control, and recognizing common diseases specific to Indian runner ducks. When you’re ready to expand your flock, the breeding section guides you through natural incubation, artificial hatching, and proper care for ducklings.
Perhaps most valuable is the detailed coverage of using runner ducks for natural pest control. Learn how these efficient foragers can be deployed in gardens and agricultural settings to manage slugs, snails, and other pests without chemicals. Additional chapters explore the potential for egg production from Pomeranian ducks and proper collection and storage methods.
Whether you’re a beginner or experienced poultry keeper, this runner duck book provides practical, evidence-based advice for raising healthy, happy running birds that will thrive in your care while providing valuable services through natural pest management.
For this book, we relied on innovative technologies, including Artificial Intelligence and tailor-made software solutions. These supported us in numerous process steps: brainstorming and research, writing and editing, quality assurance, as well as the creation of decorative illustrations.
We aim to provide you with a reading experience that is particularly harmonious and contemporary.

Description:

"A charming compilation of eighteenth-century recipes . . . a well-researched account of Mrs. Horry’s fascinating life-style." –The North Carolina Historical Review
Harriott Pinckney Horry began her receipt book more than two hundred years ago. It is being published now for the first time.
You will get a lively sense of what colonial plantation life was like from reading Harriott’s receipt book. She began it in 1770, shortly after she was married, writing recipes and household information in a notebook. Her recipes reflect both English and French culinary traditions. You will recognize in the recipes the origins of some of your contemporary favorites.
Harriott writes also about keeping the dairy and smokehouse, how to dye clothes, what to do about insects, how to care for trees and crops, and how to make soap, all skills she learned in the course of managing the plantation after her husband’s early death.
From Harriott’s writing and Hooker’s knowledgeable introduction and editorial notes, you will learn what it was like to be well-to-do and a member of Southern aristocracy, living in a world of rice and indigo planters, merchants, lawyers, and politicians-the colonial elite. Because knowing about food preferences and eating habits of any people expands our understanding of their nature and times, the receipt book of Harriott Pinckney Horry opens another window on the history of colonial plantations.
"Gives us a very good idea of the household’s prize dishes." – The Washington Post
"Cookbook collectors will love it and even readers who don’t enter the kitchen will find it entertaining." – The Charleston Evening Post

Description:

In the early years of the Cold War, the United States mounted expansive public diplomacy programs in the Global South, including initiatives with the recently partitioned states of India and Pakistan. U.S. operations in these two countries became the second- and fourth-largest in the world, creating migration links that resulted in the emergence of American universities, such as the University of Houston, as immigration hubs for the highly selective, student-led South Asian migration stream starting in the 1950s. By the late twentieth century, Houston’s South Asian community had become one of the most prosperous in the metropolitan area and one of the largest in the country.
Mining archives and using new oral histories, Uzma Quraishi traces this pioneering community from its midcentury roots to the early twenty-first century, arguing that South Asian immigrants appealed to class conformity and endorsed the model minority myth to navigate the complexities of a shifting Sunbelt South. By examining Indian and Pakistani immigration to a major city transitioning out of Jim Crow, Quraishi reframes our understanding of twentieth-century migration, the changing character of the South, and the tangled politics of race, class, and ethnicity in the United States.
