  A guide to xeriscaping for eco-conscious gardeners living in desert climates. For gardeners who want to conserve water, the color, fragrance, shade, and lush vegetation of a traditional garden may seem like a mirage in the desert. But such gardens can flourish when native plants grow in them. In this book, Judy Mielke, an expert on Southwestern gardening, offers the most comprehensive guide available to landscaping with native plants. Writing simply enough for beginning gardeners, while also providing ample information for landscape professionals, she presents over three hundred trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, groundcovers, wildflowers, cacti, and other native plants suited to arid landscapes.  The heart of the book lies in the complete descriptions and beautiful color photographs of plants native to the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan desert regions of the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Mielke characterizes each plant and gives detailed information on its natural habitat, its water, soil, light, temperature, and pruning requirements, and its possible uses in landscape design.  In addition, Mielke includes informative discussions of desert ecology, growing instructions for native plants and wildflowers, and “how-to” ideas for revegetation of disturbed desert areas using native plants. She concludes the book with an extensive list of plants by type, including those that have specific features such as shade or fragrance. She also supplies a list of public gardens that showcase native plants.

  Blockchain is the new breed of innovation that has already begun to reinvent trade, social and political relationships, and any other form of exchange of value. For once, it's not just a transition, it's a strong trend already in practice. As of this writing, over 40 top financial organizations and many different companies across industries have begun investigating blockchain to minimize transaction costs, speed up transaction time, reduce fraud risk, and remove intermediary or broker services. Some are trying to re-imagine legacy systems and services to take them to a new level and develop new types of service offerings as well. 
  Throughout the book, we will discuss blockchain in more detail. If you are new to blockchain or select only those relevant to you, you can follow through the chapters in the order presented. 
  In the public conversation and in the media, the blockchain has received a lot of attention. Many fans contend that the blockchain has been the best innovation since the Internet emerged. Therefore, a lot of books and articles about the blockchain have been written over the past few years. Nevertheless, if you want to know more about how the blockchain operates, you may be lost in a universe of books that either easily skip over the technical details or highly systematically analyze the underlying technical concepts. The former may leave you unsatisfied because they fail to clarify the technical details necessary to understand and appreciate the blockchain, while the latter may leave you unsatisfied because the knowledge you want to learn is already needed."

  Welcome, welcome! With so many people slapping their neon The Fantastic Book of Chemistry Jokes, this author’s edition has been released. No matter your understanding of chemistry, I am sure you'll get a reaction, because the jokes within, are sodium funny. These jokes have been accumulated through years of interactions with fellow scientists and teachers and lots of drinking in strange bars late at night. A word of caution must be had, some jokes are innocent, and some are rude & lewd, but none are meant to offend. As studies have shown, the darker your sense of humour, the more intelligent you are. With that being said, sit back, put your feet up and wait for the nerdy fluorine, uranium, nitrogen-filled laughs to tickle your fancy. 
  “Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it.”
