How to Grow - Nurture Your...

Marcus Bridgewater

“Garden Marcus is not only a trove of information if you’re looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the chaos happening in the world.”—Vogue 
“Bridgewater’s planting tips are just as valuable when applied to life.”—The Root 
In this transformative guide, TikTok’s most popular gardener, Marcus Bridgewater—aka Garden Marcus—offers lessons for growth rooted in lessons from the plant world to help cultivate the soul. 
Marcus Bridgewater has been compared to Bob Ross and Mister Rogers for his soothing TikTok videos that relate botany to humanity. A gardener “who shares tips about caring for one’s plants and oneself” (New York Times) and “is not only a trove of information if you’re looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the pandemic-induced chaos happening in the world” (Vogue), his soothing observations on plants and life have made him a social media star. In caring for over 600 plants, Marcus has gained invaluable wisdom. Life inside us yearns to grow; like plants, humans maximize their potential when presented with the right conditions. Through care and attention, he reminds us, we can successfully cultivate growth.  
Centered on a trinity of wellbeing—Mental Health, Physical Fitness, and Spiritual Awareness, How to Grow weaves together insights from the garden with stories from Marcus’s life to help you foster personal development. With lessons rooted in his experiences gardening—from how a replanted flourishing sweet potato vine is a reminder that all living things benefit from a change of scene, to how to embrace patience to foster growth—this inspiring guide helps you do “the dirty work” (pun intended) to discover kindness, patience, and positivity within. “We cannot make anything grow,” he advises. “But we can foster an environment where it may grow.” 
How to Grow isn’t a gardening book. It is a self-help book that draws inspiration from the garden. Original, timely, and filled with nurturing wisdom, it takes perennial knowledge from plants to teach us about ourselves and opens our eyes to what we are capable of achieving.

Plasma and Fluid Dynamics - The...

Mark Hedges

This book explores the fascinating world of two critical fields in physics: plasma physics and fluid dynamics. Plasma, often referred to as the fourth state of matter, plays a crucial role in everything from the sun’s energy production to potential advancements in controlled fusion energy. Plasma physics investigates the behavior of ionized gases under various conditions, aiming to harness this powerful energy source. Controlled fusion, a field within plasma physics, focuses on replicating the energy-producing reactions of the sun, offering a potential solution for sustainable, clean energy. Meanwhile, fluid dynamics, the study of the movement of liquids and gases, impacts various applications from engineering and meteorology to biology. 
This book delves into the intricate interactions between these two domains, examining how fluids and plasmas behave under different forces, temperatures, and magnetic fields. By integrating plasma physics, controlled fusion, and fluid dynamics, the text provides a comprehensive understanding of how motion and energy interact on both a micro and macro scale. The principles outlined have far-reaching implications for both theoretical research and practical applications, including energy generation, propulsion systems, and the study of natural phenomena such as weather patterns and ocean currents.
