  An olive farmer journeys through Spain, Italy, and North Africa to find the future of agriculture in an age of chemicals and climate challenges. Carol Drinkwater’s beloved olive farm in the South of France was suffering badly from destructive pests and premature ripening. In a hunt for answers, she decided to set out on her own for a fact-finding tour of Spain, Italy, Morocco, and Algeria. In The Olive Tree, Carol recounts not only the agricultural education she gained during her travels, but the dangers she faced as terrorist bombs rocked one of her destinations and a group of beekeepers helped shepherd her through dangerous territory. Through it all, she confronts issues faced by farmers and non-farmers alike in today’s world, from climate change to diminishing water reserves to the excessive use of chemicals. Ultimately, she will return to her land in Provence with a new appreciation for the urgency of these problems—and with an ingenious vision for the future shared with her by a brilliant group of olive growers . . .Praise for the Olive Farm series “Vibrant, intoxicating and heartwarming.” —Sunday Express “Spellbinding . . . a must for anyone who dreams of moving to a kinder climate and starting a new life.” —Choice

  Chrysalis - Maria Sibylla Merian...

  Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Maria Sibylla Merian. 
  An artist turned naturalist, Merian was born just 16 years after Galileo proclaimed that the Earth orbited the sun. But at the age of 50, she sailed from Europe to South America on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis—an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. 
  When she returned, she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the 19th century by scientists who disdained the work of “amateurs.” 
  Chrysalis takes us from golden age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian’s insights fuel a new branch of biology. The New Yorker called it a "spellbinding biography." In it, Kim Todd brings to life a 17th century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today.

  Delve into the fundamental principles that govern our universe with this comprehensive three-part volume exploring the bedrock theories of physics. From the elegant mathematics of motion to the mind-bending concepts of quantum mechanics, this meticulously crafted work provides both students and enthusiasts with a deep understanding of the laws that shape our physical reality.  
  Classical Mechanics unveils the mathematical framework that describes the motion of objects from subatomic particles to celestial bodies. Journey through Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation to the sophisticated formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. Discover how these principles not only explain everyday phenomena but also laid the groundwork for all subsequent physical theories. 
  Classical Electrodynamics illuminates the profound connection between electricity and magnetism unified by Maxwell's equations. Explore the behavior of electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves, and the principles that enable modern technologies from power generation to telecommunications. Understand how these theories revolutionized our conception of physical reality and led to Einstein's special theory of relativity. 
  Concepts of Modern Physics bridges the gap between classical theories and the revolutionary ideas of 20th-century physics. Examine the quantum mechanical picture of the subatomic world, where particles exhibit wave-like properties and certainty gives way to probability. Explore special and general relativity, where time and space become relative concepts, and matter and energy reveal themselves as two aspects of the same fundamental reality. 
  This accessible yet rigorous volume features clear explanations, illustrative examples, and challenging problems that develop both intuitive understanding and mathematical facility.

  Ossman & Steel's Classic...

  A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil.Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.
