Summary

Jay F. Hemdal's introduction to miniature aquariums (essentially home aquariums that contain 8 gallons, or 30 liters, of water or less) begins with choosing a mini-aquarium from the many options available today and getting started with the right equipment (lighting, filters, heaters, decorations, and so forth). The author offers step-by-step instructions for installing the mini-aquarium and establishing the biological filtration system as well as maintaining the tank. Mini-Aquariums devotes a chapter to water, giving sound advice on water changes, sea water, maintaining the necessary chemical levels, and water quality. Deciding the contents of the mini-aquarium;tropical fish, plants, corals, and invertebrates---is looked at in two chapters devoted to marine mini-aquariums and freshwater mini-aquariums. There is also a special chapter on mini-container ponds and mini-ecosystems. Resources and glossary included.

    Written by experts and offering readers the opportunity to pass off appropriated knowledge as their own, the Bluffer's Guides provide hard fact masquerading as frivolous observation in one witty, easy listen.Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of football. Never again be found wanting when asked what Albert Camus said about the ‘beautiful' game, why a surprising number of other famous writers and thinkers opted to play ‘between the sticks', why a rotation system is not to be confused with a revolving door management policy, and why an impressive collection of trophies is no way to describe the perma-tanned WAGs in the directors' box. Bask in the admiration of your fellow football lovers as you pronounce confidently on the merits of English ‘pluck' over German ‘efficiency', and hold your own against the most tribal of rival supporters.“I've been using my own version of this for years, but now there's an official Bluffer's Guide anyone can use to present their own football show on radio.” ANDY JACOBS, co-presenter of Talksport's Hawksbee and Jacobs Show

    Hidden Nature - Wild Southern Caves

    Reed Environmental Writing Award Finalist, Southern Environmental Law Center, 2021More than ten thousand known caves lie beneath the state of Tennessee according to the Tennessee Cave Survey, a nonprofit organization that catalogs and maps them. Thousands more riddle surrounding states. In Hidden Nature, Michael Ray Taylor tells the story of this vast underground wilderness. In addition to describing the sheer physical majesty of the region’s wild caverns and the concurrent joys and dangers of exploring them, he examines their rich natural history and scientific import, their relationship to clean water and a healthy surface environment, and their uncertain future.As a longtime caver and the author of three popular books related to caving—Cave Passages, Dark Life, and Caves—Taylor enjoys (for a journalist) unusual access to this secretive world. He is personally acquainted with many of the region’s most accomplished cave explorers and scientists, and they in turn are familiar with his popular writing on caves in books; in magazines such as Audubon, Outside, and Sports Illustrated; and on websites such as those of the Discovery Channel and the PBS science series Nova.Hidden Nature is structured as a comprehensive work of well-researched fact that reads like a personal narrative of the author’s long attraction to these caves and the people who dare enter their hidden chambers.

    Off-Grid Projects - Step-by-Step...

    Off-grid systems can also be referred to as "stand-alone" power systems, are completely independent power supply systems that are not connected to the public utility grid. These systems supply electricity, heating, cooling, and water to homes, businesses, and communities that are located in remote or rural areas. They are also utilized by people who choose to live off the grid for a variety of reasons, including concerns about the environment, the desire to be self-sufficient, or the desire to save money. These systems often rely on renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, or biomass, paired with energy storage options, such as batteries, to supply the energy needs of the users. 
    In order to design an off-grid system, one must first determine the users' energy requirements and then select a suitable power source. Solar, wind, hydro, and biomass are the types of renewable energy that are utilized in off-grid systems more frequently than any other types. Each of these sources has a unique combination of benefits and drawbacks, which can be weighed against one another to determine which one is the best fit for a given environment in terms of resources, geographic location, average temperature, and the amount of energy needed. 
    Planning the system layout, choosing the components, obtaining the materials, and installing the system are all steps in the construction of an off-grid system. PV panels or wind turbines, inverters, charge controllers, batteries, and wiring are the typical components of an off-grid system. Off-grid systems need energy storage solutions to guarantee a constant flow of electricity during times when energy generation is low, like at night or on cloudy days. Batteries are by far the most popular type of energy storage technology utilized in off-grid systems.
