  Get started on your composting journey with this practical, accessible, and fun guide to reducing your waste—including this book when you finish reading! Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste.  With wry and brilliant writing, ​Cassanda Marketos brings the culture, beauty, community, and philosophy of compost to life in this one-of-a-kind, inventive work of narrative nonfiction that brings compost out of the dark ages and into the contemporary moment. Delightfully philosophical and inviting, it is an accessible guide to everything you need to know about compost, with actionable advice for beginners and experienced composters. You will learn why compost works, where to put your compost, how to pick your compost set up, the basics of decomposition, what to put in a compost pile, where to source your compost materials, and how to build a pile. With insights on what tools to consider, how to deal with odors, insects, and other critters, and transitioning your compost pile for colder weather, find easy-to-follow compost pile designs, tips on composting in small spaces, composting with worms, and how to compost things you're always told you can't (you just need to know how).  This book has something for everyone, at any stage in their compost journey, and includes edgy, delightful illustrations by the artist Sludge Thunder throughout. And ... it's literally compostable. Read it, follow the advice, and toss it into your compost pile.

  Felinology - The Study of Cats...

  Felinology, the scientific study of cats, encompasses everything from their evolutionary history to their physiology, behavior, and conservation. As one of the most beloved and enigmatic creatures, cats have captured human interest for thousands of years. Their presence in mythology, folklore, and everyday life has made them a subject of fascination, while their unique biological and behavioral traits continue to intrigue researchers and cat enthusiasts alike. Understanding felinology not only deepens our appreciation of these remarkable animals but also plays a crucial role in improving their welfare, both in domestic settings and in the wild. 
  One of the primary reasons felinology is significant is its role in bridging the gap between domesticated and wild felines. While domestic cats (Felis catus) have lived alongside humans for millennia, they retain many of the instincts and behaviors of their wild counterparts. Studying these similarities and differences helps researchers understand how domestication has shaped modern felines and provides insight into their needs and natural tendencies. Felinology also sheds light on the relationships between different feline species, allowing scientists to trace their evolutionary paths and better comprehend the intricate links between them. 
  Beyond evolutionary studies, felinology is essential in understanding feline health and well-being. From genetic predispositions to common illnesses, scientific research into feline biology has led to advancements in veterinary medicine, improving the quality of life for both domestic and captive wild cats. Research in this field has contributed to the development of vaccines, treatments for chronic conditions, and strategies for preventing diseases that affect feline populations. Furthermore, knowledge of feline nutrition and behavior has allowed pet owners and veterinarians to optimize care, ensuring cats live healthier and longer lives.
