  This title consists of two books, which are: 
  Civil Engineering - Civil engineering is a multifaceted field that intersects with many aspects of our daily lives. It involves the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure that supports modern society, including buildings, bridges, roads, railways, airports, water supply and treatment systems, wastewater treatment plants, and more. 
  Civil engineers collaborate with architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, and other professionals to create functional and resilient structures that meet the needs of communities while considering factors like safety, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact. 
  Environmental Engineering - Environmental engineering encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including but not limited to water resources engineering, air quality engineering, solid waste management, environmental chemistry, environmental microbiology, and ecological engineering. 
  In water resources engineering, environmental engineers work on designing and managing systems for the treatment and distribution of drinking water, as well as the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater. They also deal with issues related to stormwater management, flood control, and erosion prevention.

  Reaching the Moon: The History...

  The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
  At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
  Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.

  Gravity Mysteries - The Hidden...

  This book bundle explores one of the universe’s most mysterious and fundamental forces: gravity. In Gravity’s Ghost, uncover how this invisible force holds galaxies together and sculpts the structure of the cosmos—yet still defies complete understanding. Discover how gravity bends light, alters time, and reveals itself in the deepest corners of space. 
  In Gravity’s Hidden Partner, the story shifts toward the unknown allies that amplify gravity’s strange behavior—like dark matter and dark energy. Scientists suspect that 95% of the universe is invisible, yet these unseen forces help explain anomalies in galactic rotation and expansion. Could something even more exotic be at play behind the scenes? 
  Finally, Light’s Opponent looks at the eternal cosmic struggle between gravity and light. Learn how gravity can trap light in black holes, distort it through gravitational lensing, and stretch its path across the universe. With every discovery, we realize just how much gravity shapes not only the cosmos—but our understanding of reality itself.

  Geophysics and Large-Scale...

  This book bundle provides a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic systems that govern our planet and the broader universe. The book starts by examining geophysics, the study of Earth's physical properties and processes, such as seismic activity, magnetic fields, and plate tectonics, offering critical insights into the mechanisms that shape our planet's structure and behavior. It delves into how forces within Earth interact on both a global and local scale, including how geophysical phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic activity affect human societies. 
  Expanding beyond Earth, the book also introduces string theory, an advanced framework in theoretical physics that attempts to unify the forces of nature by describing particles as vibrating strings. String theory provides a potential explanation for the fundamental structure of the universe, connecting the realms of quantum mechanics and general relativity. The principles of physics serve as the foundation for understanding these phenomena, tying together classical and modern theories to explain the behavior of matter and energy across different scales—from the Earth’s interior to the farthest reaches of space.

  “An invaluable tool for anyone wanting to deepen their connection not only to themselves but also to nature and the spirits that are all around. Joey Morris provides practical advice and techniques that offer a diverse and different way of connecting to the three worlds that are associated with Celtic beliefs.” —Jane Matthews, director of the World Divination Association   A revolutionary take on hedge witchery that focuses on what it means to reconnect with the sacred hedge in a modern world, Celtic Hedge Witchery—A Modern Approach teaches the ways, ideas, and methods of the hedgerow, so they become accessible even to those who cannot visit the physical locations themselves. Delving into secret liminal spaces, Morris expands the knowledge and understanding of what it means to truly embody the witchcraft life. She connects readers to the wildcrafting elements of plants and natural remedies, realigning the soul to the vibrations of the spiritual ecosystem to reconnect with the Earth and all her spirits. In a time when modernity, technology, and disconnection from the land has caused so many of us to feel lost and disheartened, Morris helps foster our kinship with the land.   Weaving together Morris’s personal witchcraft gnosis, Celtic Hedge Witchery focuses on embracing the shadows within ourselves as a reflection of sacred spaces. Morris offers a revolutionary take on what it means to be a hedge witch in the modern era and empowers us to “come home” to both the Earth and to ourselves. Spell work, recipes, meditative guides, and evocative poetry help guide us in connecting with Celtic deities of land, sea, and sky and in crossing the hedge into the Otherworld. Learn how to connect to your own natural witchcraft.Find the sacred landscape within yourself. Connect with plant and animal spirit allies within the hedge and benefit from their spiritual power.
