The Harmony of Nature - A...

Skye Allye

By enabling systems to exhibit their own development, permaculture follows a philosophy of working with nature rather than against it, of long-term observation rather than hasty action, of considering systems in all of their roles rather than focusing on a single output.    To put it another way, the vast majority of the species (and biomass) in a farmed environment are meant for human consumption or the use of animals. A small portion of the entire primordial or natural species assemblage is accessible to us, but we are not the exclusive beneficiaries of that portion. The plants we grow in our own gardens, on the other hand, are all chosen for their ability to directly benefit us as gardeners. Designing a home revolves around the requirements of its inhabitants, making it a human-centered endeavor (anthropocentric).    In order to preserve wilderness, we need both a human-centered morality and a focus on the natural world. As long as we don't control our monetary cravings, we won't be able to do any good for the natural world. Achieving this goal will enable us to leave most of the agricultural landscape behind, allowing natural systems to thrive.    All of this and much more are discussed in this book with exhaustive research and systematic steps for your benefit and thought-provoking and persuasive information.

Orchid Hunters

Wilson Wall

The pinnacle of orchid hunting activity was in the nineteenth century when prices for individual plants reached astonishing levels. Such were the profits to be made that many of the most active orchid hunters were directly employed by orchid nurseries in Britain and Europe. These were not the aristocratic administrators of empire; they were trained gardeners and horticulturalists who had a yearning to travel and see for themselves where the plants they nurtured had come from. In this book we explore the activities of these orchid hunters through the years, from the eighteenth century right into the twenty-first century, when the camera replaced the axe and spade. Many of these stories are rarely told in the context of the society that demanded ever bigger and more flamboyant orchids. Some were collected and the sites they had come from forgotten. Some were so valuable that the sites were kept secret, or misleading information given about their origin, even the wrong country being suggested for some. Orchid hunting was not always safe and some collectors never came home. Of those that did return, contemporary documents suggest that some of the stories they came back with enhanced the value of their plants, but were not always entirely accurate in their details. Using original documents as source material, for the first time tales of orchids lost and found, as well as those that sought them, are told in their entirety.

Ruin Your Life Now - How To Use...

Dicholas Chad Pansy

Tired of self-help books promising success, happiness, and inner peace? Good. You're holding the only book brave enough to say what you're really thinking: "Why bother?" 
Welcome to Ruin Your Life Now—the ultimate anti-self-help book for overthinkers, self-saboteurs, and anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and muttered, “Yikes.” 
Written by professional over-apologizer and amateur disaster Dicholas Chad Pansy, this brutally sarcastic guide shows you how to weaponize affirmations not for success—but for spectacular failure. Learn to: 
Attract toxic relationships with the efficiency of a broken dating app 
Manifest crushing debt and emotional instability 
Sabotage your job, body, and soul in record time 
Cultivate spiritual emptiness and repel divine intervention 
Alienate everyone who ever loved you (or at least tolerated you) 
Think of it as your daily dose of self-destruction, disguised as a coping mechanism. 
Packed with toxic affirmations, unnecessary rants, and advice so bad it circles back to genius, Ruin Your Life Now is like a car crash you can’t stop watching—except the car is your life and you’re the one behind the wheel, blindfolded. 
This is not a guide to healing. 
This is a how-to manual for becoming the chaotic, emotionally-unstable dumpster fire you were always meant to be. 
Don’t fix your life. Ruin it. On purpose.
