Southern Exposure Seed Exchange 2005 Catalog and Garden Guide Southern Exposure Seed Exchange Catalog and Garden Guide Dear Gardeners and Farmers, Welcome to our 2005 catalog! Thank you all for making our 21st year our best ever. In spite of record rainfall and four hurricanes we grew some great seed—a testament to the vitality and adaptability of our heirloom and open-pollinated varieties. We are introducing several exciting new varieties this year, along with a few old favorites that have been unavailable for some time. We're happy to have a much better supply of Kaskaskia Garlic (in 2004 it sold out in June!) as well as more perenni- al onions. For you organic market gardeners we now offer many more bulk packs of your favorite organic seeds. Our cooperative will miss Cricket Rakita, our hard-working manager for the past five years. Cricket now coordinates the Saving Our Seed project (www.savingourseed.org), which works on seed saving with farmers, gardeners, and extension agents to increase the availability of certified organic seed in the southeast. Southern Exposure has co-hosted several exciting and pro- ductive seed-saving workshops with them. We hope you will join us in supporting a cooperative and self-reliant seed movement. When you buy seed from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, you are helping to support our mission of genetic preser- vation, seed saving, ecological agriculture, and local food production. If you like our seeds, please give your Southern Exposure catalog to a gardening friend or neighbor! We'll be happy to send you another copy for free. Our entire catalog is also available on the internet at www.southernexposure.com. Once you’re an SESE member, you get a discount on all on-line orders. Have you any comments or questions about our seeds and other products? Please call or e-mail with your input. We hope you enjoy our catalog and that our seeds bring abundance to your gardens!

  • The History and Philosophy of Social Science
    The history and philosophy of social science A landmark in its field, this book attains the most exacting scholarly standards whilst making the history of the social sciences enjoyable to read. Scott Gordon provides a magisterial review of the historical development of the social sciences. He examines the problems which confronted the great thinkers in their attempts to construct systematic theories of social phenomena. At the same time, he presents an authoritative survey of the major writers in the fields of economics, sociology and political science. Separate chapters are devoted to particular topics of special significance such as the nature of sociality, the idea of harmonious order, the conflict between progress and perfection, the methodology of history and the relation between biology and the social sciences. In the concluding chapter, the author examines the main lines of thought that have developed in the philosophy of science since the breakdown of logical empiricism, and he shows how the scientific investigation of social phenomena differs from the methodologies of the physical and biological sciences. This bold new synthesis of the different traditions in the social sciences is at once a major contribution and a superb overview. Scott Gordon is a Distinguished Professor at the Department of Economics and a Professor at the History and Philosophy of Science Department, Indiana University. He is also Professor of Economics at Queens University, Canada. He is the author of Welfare, Justice and Freedom (1980) and of numerous journal articles and has spent a lifetime researching questions in the history and methodology of the social sciences.
