  A gardener’s guide to growing marijuana plants. If growing Cannabis is permitted where you live, a hydroponic system is your homegrown solution. 
   
  With marijuana laws changing rapidly, millions of gardeners with an interest in growing Cannabis can finally step out of their curtained basements and raise this unique and ancient plant without worry and in plain view. 
   
  As with any other plant we grow, you’ll find a wide range of strategies for growing marijuana. The variables between approaches are many, including success rates, security, and cost. Indoor, water-based hydroponic systems are the best option for just about any homeowner: they are clean, reliable, highly productive, and can be built for minimal cost. In Homegrown Marijuana, you’ll find all the information you need to create and operate a hydroponic growing system in your own home. 
   
  This book is intended for people who live in areas that have legalized growing marijuana, for medical use or otherwise, and who wish to produce it for their own consumption. Using step-by-step instructions and photos, hydroponics and marijuana-growing expert Joshua Sheets explains how to create, build, maintain, and harvest a marijuana garden. He also includes plenty of background information you’ll want to know on subjects such as nutrient solutions, propagating plants, selecting varieties, troubleshooting problems, and much more. You’ll see that a hydroponic marijuana garden is not so different from other gardens you’ve grown—except, of course, that in this garden, the weed is encouraged.

  “A tongue-in-cheek romp through the bleak house of history that most textbooks ignore”—now updated with even more appalling facts (Kenneth C. Davis, New York Times–bestselling author). 
   
  Fourteen billion or so years ago, the Big Bang exploded—and it’s been downhill from there. For every spectacular discovery throughout history, there have been hundreds of devastating epidemics; for every benevolent despot, a thousand like Vlad the Impaler; for every cup half-full, a larger cup half-empty. This enthralling, enlightening, and devilishly entertaining chronicle of disasters and dastardly deeds brings to light the darkest events in history and the most abysmal calamities to strike the planet . . . so far. 
   
  88 BC: Mithridates VI Eupator provides an early example of genocide by massacring 100,000 Romans. 
   
  1347: Saint Vitus’ Dance Epidemic shimmies across Europe like a deadly disco fever, leaving its victims twitching, uncontrollably leaping, and foaming at the mouth. 
   
  1888: Jack the Ripper stalks through the dark alleys of Whitechapel, England, turning the world’s oldest profession into the world’s most dangerous one. 
   
  1939: A Swiss chemist wins a Nobel Prize for developing DDT—and the environment gets another nail in the coffin.

  “Pit Bull 101” traces the loveable Pitbull from its historic ancestry to today. The dog’s pedigree, genealogy, and temperament are illustrated. Pitbulls have been the subject of adverse legislation illegal operations, and public disquiet. By learning about the Pitbull, you will find that they are not dangerous, vicious, or difficult to train. 
  Pitbulls have a varied history. They are not fighting dogs but rescue dogs, police dogs, dogs used for care, and support dogs. They will love you, unconditionally and be your most loyal friend. 
  At one time in America’s history, Pitbulls were known as America’s dog. They were on war posters for WWI and WWII, the face of Buster Brown shoes, and known as nanny dogs. You have seen the Pitbull running with the Little Rascals and as a part of Rachael Ray’s dog food commercial. 
  The Pitbulls reputation was horribly damaged by magazine articles, media prejudice, and the story of Michael Vick and his dogfighting project. Yet, these dogs that were horribly abused and tortured became happy and loving family pets and mascots. The Michael Vick tragedy changed the face of dog rescue. Fighting dogs are no longer indiscriminately “put down.” 
  The care and feeding of a Pitbull are outlined in the book. These same training techniques, feeding, and scheduling tips can be used for any dog, and if you are diligent and consistent, these tips will provide you with a Pitbull who will outlive any other breed. 
  Now there are rescue societies and groups who understand what a Pitbull is, and they are working diligently to repair this breed’s reputation. Own a Pitbull, and you will find that they are awesome dogs. 
  HowExpert publishes quick ‘how to’ guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

  From a James Beard award winning chef, “a thousand and one nights worth of cooking. . . . Sortun’s recipes are as seamless as her food.” —Los Angeles Times 
   
  On a trip to Turkey, chef Ana Sortun fell in love with the food and learned the traditions of Turkish cooking from local women. Inspired beyond measure, Sortun opened her own restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the award–winning Oleana, where she creates her own interpretations of dishes incorporating the incredible array of delicious spices and herbs used in eastern regions of the Mediterranean. 
   
  In this gorgeously photographed book, Sortun shows readers how to use spices to create wonderful dishes at home. She reveals how the artful use of spices and herbs rather than fat and cream is key to the full, rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine — and the way it leaves you feeling satisfied afterward. The book is organized by spice, detailing the ways certain spices complement one another and how they flavor other foods and creating in home cooks a kind of sense-memory that allows for a more intuitive use of spice in their own dishes. The more than one hundred tantalizing spice categories and recipes include:Beef Shish Kabobs with Sumac Onions and Parsley ButterChickpea and Potato Terrine Stuffed with Pine Nuts, Spinach, Onion, and TahiniCrispy Lemon Chicken with Za’atarGolden Gazpacho with CondimentsFried Haloumi Cheese with Pear and Spiced Dates 
   
  Absolutely alive with spices and herbs, Ana Sortun’s recipes will inspire foodies everywhere. 
   
  “A warm and evocative cookbook filled with enticing recipes.” —Clifford A. Wright, James Beard award–winning author of A Mediterranean Feast
