  This book consists of 3 titles: 
  Greenhouse: Greenhouse gardening offers numerous benefits beyond extending the growing season. It provides a controlled environment that protects plants from pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions, creating an ideal microclimate for optimal growth. With precise control over temperature, humidity, and light levels, gardeners can cultivate a wide range of plants that might not thrive in their local climate otherwise. Greenhouses also allow for efficient use of space, enabling vertical gardening, hydroponic systems, and other innovative cultivation techniques. Additionally, greenhouse gardening promotes sustainability by reducing water consumption, minimizing the need for chemical pesticides, and enabling year-round production of fresh, locally grown produce. 
  Horticulture: Horticulture encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including plant biology, genetics, soil science, entomology, plant pathology, and environmental science. It involves understanding the specific needs of different plant species, such as their preferred growing conditions, nutritional requirements, and pest and disease management strategies. 
  Irrigation Systems: An irrigation system is a method used to supply water to crops or landscapes in a controlled manner, typically to assist with crop growth or maintain landscapes. There are various types of irrigation systems, including drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and flood irrigation, each with its own advantages and applications.

  The Vertical Oasis: Mastering Organic Vertical Farming in an Urban Setting 
  This book is designed as a comprehensive guide to the intricacies, opportunities, and challenges of vertical farming, specifically within the confines of an urban landscape. Whether you're an urban farmer seeking sustainable ways to cultivate food or have a keen interest in agriculture technology, this book offers insightful and practical information to help you understand and master the techniques of organic vertical farming. 
  We live in an era where rapid urbanization and environmental concerns are at the forefront of global discussions. By 2050, it's estimated that nearly 70% of the global population will live in urban areas. Concurrently, we face the pressures of climate change and finite resources, which significantly affect conventional agriculture. The search for a sustainable, efficient, and city-friendly farming method has led us to the promising realm of vertical farming. 
  Challenges and Mastery 
  However, while vertical farming brings exciting possibilities, it also comes with its own set of challenges and complexities. The mastery of vertical farming requires understanding not just traditional horticulture, but also systems design, climate control, lighting technologies, nutrient management, and more. Moreover, the organic approach demands a careful balance of these elements to avoid the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. That’s where this book comes in. 
  Inspiration and Call to Action 
  In the spirit of promoting sustainable and local food systems, we encourage you to step into this world, armed with curiosity and fortified with knowledge. The ensuing pages hope to inspire and empower you to pioneer new frontiers in sustainable urban living.

  Wellmania - Extreme...

  Bridget Jones meets AJ Jacobs in Wellmania, an in-depth, laugh-out-loud exploration of the best and worst of the wellness industry. 
   
   
   
  Cold-pressed juices, "clean" eating, colonic vacations, mindfulness apps, and Paleo: health-care trends and miracle diets seem to be more plentiful each year. But do any of these tactics actually work? What does "wellness" even mean? 
   
   
   
  In Wellmania, longtime journalist Brigid Delaney tackles the good, the bad, and the just-a-little-ridiculous of the wellness industry, using herself as the guinea pig. Starting with a brutal 101-day fast, she leaves behind her thirty-something-year-old lifestyle of late-night parties and all-day hangovers to test the things that are supposed to make us healthy and whole: yoga classes, meditation, CBT, Balinese healing, silent retreats, group psychotherapy, and more. Writing with self-deprecating wit and refreshing honesty, she sorts through the fads and expensive hype to find out what actually works, while asking, What does all this say about us? Is total wellness even possible? And why do you start to smell so bad when you haven't eaten in seven days? According to comedian Judith Lucy, the result is "bloody entertaining" and "leaves you wondering whether you want to do yoga or get mindlessly drunk and despair at the state of the world."

  I Am Like This Only!

  Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
  Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
  In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
  I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
  Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
  Warm regards, 
  Anshumala Singh
