Sinopse

Farming Calendars explores how farmers worldwide have historically used seasonal, lunar, and climate-based calendars to optimize agricultural productivity. These calendars, far from being relics of the past, represent a sophisticated blend of astronomical observation, climate prediction, and practical agricultural experience accumulated over generations. For instance, knowledge of solstices and equinoxes, combined with rainfall patterns, informs decisions about planting, irrigation, and pest control. Understanding these traditional ecological knowledge systems is increasingly vital for sustainable agriculture and climate change adaptation. 

 
The book examines diverse agricultural settings, demonstrating how different cultures interpret and apply farming calendars. It analyzes the scientific basis of these calendars, comparing traditional knowledge with modern meteorological and astronomical data, showing the enduring relevance of these practices.

 
Progressing from fundamental concepts to specific regional examples, Farming Calendars culminates in exploring practical applications for contemporary agriculture, highlighting how integrating traditional calendar knowledge with modern science can lead to more resilient and productive farming systems, ultimately improving crop yields and promoting sustainable farming.

    After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
     
    Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
     
    What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
     
    Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.

    You have seen the photos of strange glowing fish and wondered what life is really like down there, miles below the light, where the pressure would crush a submarine and the sun never reaches.
    
    This narrated audiobook takes you down one ocean zone at a time. Each chapter opens inside a living scene, then shows you one real behaviour that scientists have actually watched. You meet anglerfish that fuse with their mates, vampire squid that feed on falling snow, and siphonophores longer than a blue whale. Further down you find whole communities living on vents and on the bones of fallen whales. Every term is explained once in plain, warm language, and each chapter ends with a short look at what we know and what we are still guessing.
    
    You come back up with real deep sea science in your head and pictures you will keep. Press play and start the descent.

    The Japanese term tsundoku sums up a concept that may sound familiar to many readers: buying books and often putting them aside to read at a later date. The fact is that these books we've accumulated and which now reside in “piles of shame” on our bedside table, in overflowing bookcases, or even on the floor number too many to be read in a single lifetime.      This is where the art of living tsundoku comes in: the joy of choosing and buying books, rebellion against must-read lists, and creative ways to organize your bookshelves. Learn the best excuses for when you are caught red-handed buying yet another new book, and the forbidden pleasure of rereading. Enjoy the endless possibilities of stories yet to be discovered by having a house of unread books. But, above all, this philosophy reminds us that we do not necessarily have to have read all the books we own to love them unconditionally. Feelings of guilt, be gone! Books are a cure for the soul: just leafing through one makes us feel better immediately. Included throughout are quizzes, creative prompts, and whimsical illustrations.
