  Ken Druse: The Passion for Gardening:DRUSE, KEN:0517707888:eCampus.com
In Ken Druse: The Passion for Gardening, Ken Druse writes eloquently of the wonders and rich rewards of slowing down, putting a trowel to the soil, and incorporating the life of the garden into our own.
Druse writes of a variety of gardens and their creators, revealing how they have tended their natural spaces and, in turn, have themselves been changed in the process.
Druse takes us to ten extraordinary gardens, including an eclectic combination of indigenous plants and a "Japanese aesthetic" in Seattle; a Long Island space that a novice gardener has filled with local flora; and Chanticleer, a public garden near Philadelphia.

  Druse minerals Conway New Hampshire
A vertical sheet, in the plane of which numerous miarolytic cavities or druses occur was found in a New Hampshire granite quarry.
In October, 1926, all of the druses to be seen in place in the quarry were confined to a single vertical sheet, striking N. 52° W.; the granite throughout the quarry being otherwise free from them.
The druses and cavities in the pegmatite zone have left a record of a long continued progression of solutions which passed upward through the granite after it had consolidated.

  Druses - LoveToKnow 1911
The Hauran, therefore, has become the stronghold of the Druses, offering nowadays the best field for studying their peculiar customs and religion; and the group there still increases at the expense of the other groups, despite efforts on the part of the Ottoman government to check Druse migration by both conciliatory and repressive measures.
The actual distinction of the Druses, as a racial unity, despite their dispersion, depends so exclusively on the peculiarity of their common religion, that it will be well at once to give an account of Druse creed and practice as they are understood to stand at the present day.
Admission is granted to any Druse of either sex who expresses willingness to conform to the laws of the society, and during a year of probation gives sufficient proof of sincerity and stability of purpose.

 Olympus MIC-D: Brightfield Gallery - Druse Crystals
Most crystalline aggregations, or druse crystals, found in plants are made of calcium oxalate, which is the compound that most frequently forms kidney stones in humans.
Druse crystals are usually globular or star-like in shape, but calcium oxalate may form as needles or spear-shaped crystals (raphides).
The crystals, whether druse or raphides in form, also allow the plants to store excess calcium in the form of calcium oxalate so that the calcium can be remobilized if needed in the process of calcium regulation.

 Abundance of Carbonate-Bearing "White Druse" in EETA79001
Using size-calibrated photographs of the specimens, and a size-calibrated eyepiece reticle in the microscope, "white druse" areas were measured on the surfaces of the specimens and mapped onto the photographs.
The volumetric abundance of "white druse" was estimated as the map area of the druse normalized to the map area of the rock face.
However, it is clear that the abundance of white druse varies from one daughter sample to the next roughly according to the proportion of Lithology C. Based on results of the current survey, the most probable abundance of the druse averaged over all daughter samples should be on the order of 0.08 % by volume.

Damascus- Around 595 Druse clergymen from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights crossed into Syria Thursday for an annual pilgrimage to the holy Habil shrine at Zabadanto, a Red Cross official in Damascus said.

Since 1988, Israeli authorities have allowed Druse to perform the pilgrimage in Zabadani, 45 kilometres west of Damascus, the official said.

DRUSE SNOOZE … One imagines that any endeavor requiring of its creative team members to "check your ego at the door" most likely could scratch Stephen King's name off its roster.
The production values on the audiobook are very good and will certainly keep anyone with the patience to check-in to Kingdom Hospital and endure Druse's droning musings alert enough to stay awake.
