  Modern witchcraft is a nature-based discipline, harnessing the power of plants, the spirit of the land, the benefits of each season and the cycle of nature.

Each chapter is based on one of the Five Elements and offers details about the element and its potency, how to work with it in your garden, what plants are associated with it, and corresponding remedies, rituals and spells. You will learn how to create spiritual features, such as a moon gate, leaf mandala, scrying pool and fire pit, as well as ways to care for nature, such as rewilding to create a haven for plants and wildlife. Discover the wonder of re-enchanting your garden, however small, and creating a place of contemplation, meditation and connection with the earth.

  Water Harvesting 101 - Learn How...

  Water Harvesting 101 introduces you to: 
  Passive Water Harvesting: This is the act of sculpting your land with basins, berms, and drainage swales. The goal? To channel rainwater toward plants and away from structures – like your house. Passive water-harvesting earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation connected to municipal water systems. In arid regions, that spells substantial cost savings. 
  Active Water Harvesting: Want fresh garden produce when it’s 105 degrees out? And it hasn’t rained in six weeks? At my place, the 1,500-gallon rainwater harvesting cistern makes year ‘round gardening possible. And, on wash day, I don’t let the wastewater go down the drain. Instead, I use a greywater harvesting system that effortlessly diverts that wastewater from the laundry to my four fruit trees.

  Airport Firefighting Command and...

  In an environment where aircraft move with split-second precision… and hundreds of systems operate simultaneously… maintaining command and control becomes the true weapon that protects the airport from chaos the moment a fire breaks out. 
  Airport firefighting is not just water and foam… nor is it only advanced equipment or modern fire trucks. It is a complete leadership system that begins with the mind directing the incident, passes through the command unit that allocates resources, and reaches a response team that knows exactly what to do, where to move, and when to intervene. 
  In this introduction, we step together into a different world… the world of sovereign fire leadership inside the airport — a place where confusion is not allowed, hesitation is unacceptable, and mistakes never get a second chance. 
  In this program, you will learn: 
  How the command and control system is built inside the airport. 
  How the commander receives information and instantly transforms it into decisive action. 
  How operations rooms, control towers, and firefighting teams function as a single unit. 
  How resources are directed, communications are organized, and the golden time of the incident is managed. 
  And how a crisis is controlled in one of the most sensitive environments on earth: a space where aircraft, passengers, fuel, and critical infrastructure all converge. 
  You will explore global models of incident management — ICS, NIMS — and modern command systems used in high-density airports. 
  You will learn how the fire commander thinks in the moment of truth, and how a firefighting plan moves from paper… to precise execution on the ground.

  In Spain: What Everyone Needs to Know®, a timely addition to Oxford's What Everyone Needs to Know® series, veteran journalist William Chislett provides political and historical context for Spain's current economic and political predicament. Chislett recounts the country's fascinating and often turbulent history, beginning with the Muslim conquest in 711 and ending with the nation's deep economic crisis, sparked by the spectacular collapse of its real estate and construction sectors in 2010. He explains the country's transition from dictatorship to democracy and covers such issues as the creation of a welfare state, the influx of immigrants, internal strife from the separatist Catalan region, the effects of stringent austerity measures, the strengths and weaknesses of the economy, and how the country can create a more sustainable economic model for the future. In a concise, question-and-answer format that allows listeners to quickly access areas of particular interest, the book addresses a wide range of questions, including: What was the legacy of the Muslim presence between 711 and 1492? How did the Spanish Empire Arise? What were the causes of the 1936-39 Civil War? Why did the Socialists win a landslide victory in the 1982 election? What was the impact of European Economic Community membership? What is the violent Basque separatist group ETA? And more.
