Kim Flottum (Growing Planet Media)

Richard (former National Bee Inspector for England & Wales) started beekeeping in 1983 helping a small bee farmer and then with his own bees in 1984. After retirement from a previous career in 1996 he was appointed as a Seasonal Bee Inspector for the National Bee Unit with respon­sibility for Surrey and Sussex. Then in 1999 as Regional Bee Inspector for the South West of England, moving to Colaton_Raleigh in Devon and in April 2006 to National Bee Inspector having responsibility for the Bee Inspection Service for England and Wales. He retired from this post in 2009 continuing within the Bee Unit as an Extension Officer until finally retiring at the end of 2011.

Following the discovery of pyrethroid resistant varroa mites in Devon during 2001 he has tried to raise awareness of the importance of Integrated Pest Management for mite control along with other bee disease issues.

Richard still keeps bees and is Chairman of the Devon Apicultural Research Group. His current bee interests include identifying pollen collected by bees and the effects of climate change on the cycle of honeybees in SW England. He has lectured throughout the United Kingdom and also in the Republic of Ireland, Malta and Romania.

A must read for public executives
Format: Paperback
Concise, focused, and full of real-world point and counterpoints, I found this to be more of an essential piece of oratory combat equipment than a book. As a non-lawyer working in public service, this book provides excellent points on interpretation, form versus substance, and the importance of observation and evidence – all skills needed to protect the public interest. As someone who monitors contracts in the public sector, many of my peers could benefit from this book and better design contracts to the advantage of their public entity. Incidentally, I was also involved in a heated discussion about data interpretation the same week I was reading this book, and was able to calmly defend and dominate the discussion until my opponent acquiesced. More important than dominating your opponent is the theme throughout this book that one’s argument must be genuine, and the logic tight. Additionally, as Prof. Trachtman reminds readers that these skills, like a weapon, should only be used for good. A great read!

What our kids need to hear

This book says exactly what our kids need to hear in these confusing times. There are so many things that our children hear and see these days that it can be overwhelming and confusing. This book and the sweet illustrations make teaching our kids how lucky we are to live in the US so very easy and important. This is something we need to make sure our children appreciate and they will grow up proud to protect our freedoms afforded to us by so many. Love this book!

Simply Wonderful
Format: Hardcover
I Love America is a wonderful book to help children (along with the rest of us!) recognize and appreciate the blessings bestowed upon us by God, including our freedoms in all their forms, our remarkable veterans, and those that work so hard to make our nation what it is. The fun rhyming and adorable illustrations kept our boys glued to it the whole time. Highly, highly recommended.
