  The Beginner's Guide to Hydroponics

  Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using a nutrient-rich water solution to deliver essential minerals and elements directly to plant roots. This innovative approach allows for controlled, efficient growing conditions, making it possible to cultivate a wide range of plants in areas where traditional soil-based agriculture might be impractical. Whether you’re growing herbs in a small apartment or setting up a large-scale commercial operation, hydroponics offers numerous benefits over conventional farming. 
  The concept of hydroponics isn’t new; it dates back to ancient civilizations that experimented with soil-less cultivation methods. However, the modern evolution of hydroponics began in the 20th century, when scientists developed techniques that allow for greater precision in plant growth. Today, hydroponics has become an essential component of sustainable farming, particularly in urban environments where space and resources are limited. 
  One of the primary advantages of hydroponics is the ability to grow plants in areas where traditional soil is unavailable or unsuitable. This makes it possible to cultivate crops in places like deserts, urban rooftops, and even on space stations. Since hydroponic systems use less water than traditional soil-based agriculture, they are an ideal solution in regions where water conservation is a priority.

  A Moroccan Trilogy - Marrakesh...

  Jérôme and Jean Tharaud

  From 1917–19, the Tharaud brothers immersed themselves in Morocco while observing the determined imposition of the French Protectorate at first hand. With unique access to both colonial manoeuvres and a now-vanished Moroccan way of life, they settled for periods in Marrakesh, Rabat and Fez to absorb and observe. We join them on visits to the Sultan one day and to the shrine of Sidi Ben Achir – part shrine, part mental asylum – on another. They watch the son and heir of the Glaoui dynasty die from wounds received in a mountain battle, and lovers weaving and ducking across the rooftops of Fez to reach their trysting place. This is the first translation of these vivacious works into English, giving access to the majesty, the squalor and above all the liveliness of this extraordinary period of Moroccan history.

  Reeves's parents divorced when he was young, and his mother moved the family to various locations, including Sydney and New York City, before settling in Toronto. He attended four different high schools and was eventually expelled from the Etobicoke School of the Arts for being "too rambunctious".

  For listeners who enjoyed Finding the Mother Tree and The Hidden Life of Trees comes the first-ever book about a movement to restore biodiversity in our cities and towns by transforming empty lots, backyards, and degraded land into mini-forests. Author Hannah Lewis is the forest maker turning asphalt into ecosystems to save the planet, and she wants everyone to know they can do it too. In Mini-Forest Revolution, Lewis presents the Miyawaki Method, a unique approach to reforestation devised by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. She explains how tiny forests as small as six parking spaces grow quickly and are much more biodiverse than those planted by conventional methods. She explores the science behind why mini-forests work, as well as the myriad environmental benefits, including cooling urban heat islands, establishing wildlife corridors, building soil health, sequestering carbon, creating pollinator habitats, and more. Today, the Miyawaki Method is witnessing a worldwide surge in popularity. Lewis shares the stories of mini-forests that have sprung up across the globe and the people who are planting them?from a young forest along the concrete alley of the Beirut River in Lebanon, to a backyard forest planted by tiny-forest champion Shubhendu Sharma in India. This inspiring book offers a revolutionary approach to planting trees and a truly accessible solution to the climate crisis that can be implemented by communities, classrooms, cities, clubs, and families everywhere.
