  Gardening at the Margins -...

  Gardening at the Margins tells the remarkable story of a diverse group of neighbors working together to grow food and community in the Santa Clara Valley in California. Based on four years of deeply engaged ethnographic field research via a Participatory Action Research project with the people and ecosystems of La Mesa Verde home garden program, Gabriel R. Valle develops a theory of convivial labor to describe how the acts of care among the diverse gardeners—through growing, preparing, and eating food in one of the most income unequal places in the country—are powerful, complex acts of resistance. 
   
   
   
  The individuals featured in the book are imagining and building alternative worlds and futures amid the very real challenges they embody and endure. Climate change, for example, is forcing thousands of migrants to urban areas, which means recent immigrants' traditional environmental, nutritional, and healing knowledge will continue to be threatened by the pervasiveness of modernity and the homogenization of global capitalism. Moreover, once rural people migrate to urban areas, their ability to retain traditional foodways will remain difficult without spaces of autonomy. The stories in this book reveal how people create the physical space to grow food and the political space to enact autonomy to revive and restore agroecological knowledge needed for an uncertain future.

  Hunker - Brief Essays on Human...

  Another in a series (including From the Top, Roughneck Grace, Million Billion, and Peaceful Persistence) of collected brief essays by New York Times bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry. "Although these pieces were written during times of unrest and pandemic, they drew on human connection," says Perry. "Week after week, slowly at first, and then regularly, I received messages, emails, comments, and sometimes even a handwritten note from readers who weren't looking to me for advice or a 'take' on the latest news blast or controversy or tragedy or variant. Instead they said they were grateful for a brief break from it all. Something to go with their morning coffee. Something to read before bed. Something heartfelt, something goofy. Something that was anything but that other thing. Something to lighten the hunker."

  Off-Grid Projects - Step-by-Step...

  Off-grid systems can also be referred to as "stand-alone" power systems, are completely independent power supply systems that are not connected to the public utility grid. These systems supply electricity, heating, cooling, and water to homes, businesses, and communities that are located in remote or rural areas. They are also utilized by people who choose to live off the grid for a variety of reasons, including concerns about the environment, the desire to be self-sufficient, or the desire to save money. These systems often rely on renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, or biomass, paired with energy storage options, such as batteries, to supply the energy needs of the users. 
  In order to design an off-grid system, one must first determine the users' energy requirements and then select a suitable power source. Solar, wind, hydro, and biomass are the types of renewable energy that are utilized in off-grid systems more frequently than any other types. Each of these sources has a unique combination of benefits and drawbacks, which can be weighed against one another to determine which one is the best fit for a given environment in terms of resources, geographic location, average temperature, and the amount of energy needed. 
  Planning the system layout, choosing the components, obtaining the materials, and installing the system are all steps in the construction of an off-grid system. PV panels or wind turbines, inverters, charge controllers, batteries, and wiring are the typical components of an off-grid system. Off-grid systems need energy storage solutions to guarantee a constant flow of electricity during times when energy generation is low, like at night or on cloudy days. Batteries are by far the most popular type of energy storage technology utilized in off-grid systems.
