Summary

Backyard Cleanup Tips reimagines yard care as a powerful tool for environmental healing, blending sustainable gardening with conservation science. At its core, the book argues that even small outdoor spaces can become vibrant ecosystems supporting pollinators, improving soil health, and reducing waste. Unlike typical gardening guides, it champions a "soil-first" philosophy, emphasizing microbial health as the foundation for thriving plants and biodiversity. Readers learn to transform fallen leaves into nutrient-rich compost, replace invasive species with drought-resistant native plants, and design brush piles that shelter wildlife—all while reducing landfill contributions and methane emissions.

Structured as a practical roadmap, the book progresses from rethinking yards as micro-ecosystems to implementing step-by-step projects like composting systems and pollinator gardens. It balances scientific rigor—citing USDA research on native plants’ erosion control and EPA data on composting benefits—with accessible advice, such as creating wildlife corridors in urban settings. Unique tiered action plans let readers start small, whether building a single compost bin or redesigning entire landscapes. Case studies showcase suburban yards turned certified wildlife habitats, proving ecological gardens needn’t sacrifice beauty for functionality. By framing cleanup as ethical stewardship rather than chore, the book empowers homeowners to join a collective effort against habitat loss, one backyard at a time.

Aviation Stories

Facundo Conforti

In past times, all the adventures experienced by sailors on each ocean crossing were recorded by the captain in his navigation logbook, the captain's logbook, a manuscript carefully written by the highest rank of the boat, written with a pen and guard in his main cabin. In this manuscript, the captain had to write down everything that happened during his trip, a complete adventure manual, for those who would read it in the future.
This book will be our captain's blog. A manuscript written by airline pilots, who have shared their stories with us, and want to offer their stories to the world. Each of the stories detailed in this work are real, modifying some data and information to protect the privacy of those who have told them.
Accompanied by these flight stories, we will learn the real stories of professional success of some of our colleagues, who have decided to share their own personal stories to show that every dream is possible, even when it is impossible.
Cockpit Stories is the first book of the Aeronautical Library that departs from technical teachings and seeks to entertain its readers with fabulous stories lived in the cockpit, where it is presumed that what happens in the cabin, remains in the cabin.
We live in an aeronautical environment where every day more tools are demanded and greater obstacles appear to achieve the long-awaited dream of flying. Today we will pause to enjoy aviation again, through the eyes of those who have seen charming landscapes, unique storms, complex approaches and everything from the front row, the cockpit.
