Summary

A complete illustrated survey of fragrant flowers and plants, from a celebrated gardening expert and an award–winning botanical photographer.

He arranges both familiar and unusual garden plants, shrubs, and trees into twelve categories, giving gardeners a vastly expanded palate of scents to explore and enjoy, and he also provides examples of garden designs that offer harmonious scentual delights.

    I know why you're here. You've probably seen some of the influencers online bragging about how they've made millions flipping NFTs, and now they have 30 Lambos! They live in an oceanside mansion and have a private butler who picks out all of the brown m&ms from the packet before serving them. You want to live like that, right? NFTs are your ticket to millions. They have to be! Because you've already tried everything else! Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you should probably not start shopping for Lambos just yet...The truth is that a lot of those projects fail. Just hop on Twitter or discord now, and you'll see them literally begging people to buy or raise the price of their NFTs.It's because they failed to have a plan and like some brilliant person whose name I don't recall right now used to say. "If you fail to plan, you are planning the fail" The brilliant person was Benjamin Franklin btw. Thanks, Google.Lucky for you, that you somehow stumbled upon our little book. So we're going to give you a plan! We're not guaranteeing Lambos just yet; that comes in the final chapter. Just kidding, this is not financial advice, etc., do your own research We've laid this book out in easy to understand format with six different sections. Well, it's technically six after the legal stuff(please don't sue me, bro) and prologue where we introduce ourselves and give you "The Ultimate NFT Glossary" sorry, it's long but trust me, you'll need it before you embark on your journey! So, after that stuff above, you get to the six sections or phases as we like to call them. I would type them all here, but I don't want to spoil the adventure or the table of contents, for that matter! Thanks for even coming to our sales page and for even considering buying our book! The last thing, if you do get a Lambo from following our advice, you're going to have to let me put my kid's car seat in it and take it for a spin! 
    See you on the inside!

    Warning: Explicit Content. My Juliet--Examined Right There on the Beach: A Shy, Shivering Wife, Her Controlling Husband, and His Medically Unqualified Dad. A Story of Appalling Humiliation. Derek Vernon is just trying to relax and enjoy a pleasant day at the beach, along with his wife Juliet and his parents. And, given how smokin’ hot Juliet looks in her bikini, it promises to be a very pleasant day, indeed! Until his sweetie comes running out of the water in a panic. Something has gotten onto that fantastic body of hers—something that stings and itches badly.Not to worry. Derek’s dad works in the medical field. He’ll handle everything.Not that this man is a doctor or anything close. He’s merely an x-ray technician. Still, he’s the best they have at the moment. But what Derek’s dad lacks in medical qualifications, he more than makes up for in sheer gall. He actually orders the shaking young woman to lie down on the beach blanket, where he proceeds to remove her swimsuit and examine her very carefully.Carefully, thoroughly, and very intimately—right there on a public beach with dozens of gawking bystanders. And Juliet is perhaps the last person on Earth to endure such humiliation. In fact, she has frustrated her husband to no end for years with her over-the-top body modesty and inhibited sexuality.So, although Derek should feel sorry for the ordeal his wife is being put through, all he feels is major arousal—not only from the spectacle of her gorgeous nude body, but from Juliet’s gorgeous look of reluctance and embarrassment…and, strangely, from the jealousy he feels seeing his dad being granted more viewing and feeling rights than he ever had!And this jealousy is made even worse when a young lifeguard comes over and checks Juliet over just as intimately—explaining that she has a case of sea lice, which he treats by dabbing her with medicine very nearly everywhere.By now, Derek is seething in envy and arousal. Thank God his shaken wife just wants to go home because this hugely horny hubby has big plans for her—plans that will not only satisfy his envy-tinged arousal but teach her a thing or two about the joys of giving her husband what he’s always wanted—and more!Fans of ENF erotica featuring beautiful and very nervous women who find themselves in the most embarrassing, debasing, humiliating situations imaginable—this one is for you! Get your copy today and see how “uplifting” a day at the beach can be!This is Book #7 in J.C.'s latest series: "My Wife--Submissive at Last"--a collection of titillating tales featuring horny, hard-up, and harried husbands who find themselves in newfound positions of power and dominance over their demanding, controlling, and sexually conservative wives. It sure is fun to flip the balance of power back to the man for a change—especially when his woman is gorgeous, well-built, and submissive at last!

    Reptiles - A Very Short...

    For millions of years reptiles have walked, crawled, and slithered over the face of our Earth. From the mighty dinosaurs who dominated the land, the pterosaurs who took to the air, and the marine adapted ichthyosaurs, to the living reptiles today such as the lizards, snakes, crocodiles, and turtles, plus the single species of tuatara in New Zealand, reptiles have come in all shapes and sizes.In this Very Short Introduction Tom Kemp discusses the adaptations reptiles made to first leave the sea and colonize the land in dry conditions, such as their waterproof skin, their ability to expel almost dry waste products, their efficient use of external heat for maintaining their body temperature, and the amniotic egg that is laid and develops on dry land. Considering the different living groups of reptiles today, Kemp then describes how their respective bodies are adapted for their different ways of life, from snake feeding patterns to the way crocodiles breathe. Finally, Kemp assesses the threat of extinction to reptile species due to over-exploitation, habitat destruction, and climate change, and considers what can be done.
