Sinossi

This book consists of 3 titles:

Greenhouse: Greenhouse gardening offers numerous benefits beyond extending the growing season. It provides a controlled environment that protects plants from pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions, creating an ideal microclimate for optimal growth. With precise control over temperature, humidity, and light levels, gardeners can cultivate a wide range of plants that might not thrive in their local climate otherwise. Greenhouses also allow for efficient use of space, enabling vertical gardening, hydroponic systems, and other innovative cultivation techniques. Additionally, greenhouse gardening promotes sustainability by reducing water consumption, minimizing the need for chemical pesticides, and enabling year-round production of fresh, locally grown produce.

Horticulture: Horticulture encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including plant biology, genetics, soil science, entomology, plant pathology, and environmental science. It involves understanding the specific needs of different plant species, such as their preferred growing conditions, nutritional requirements, and pest and disease management strategies.

Irrigation Systems: An irrigation system is a method used to supply water to crops or landscapes in a controlled manner, typically to assist with crop growth or maintain landscapes. There are various types of irrigation systems, including drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and flood irrigation, each with its own advantages and applications.

Keeping the Chattahoochee -...

Sally Sierer Bethea

Sally Sierer Bethea was one of the first women in America to become a "riverkeeper"—a vocal defender of a specific waterway who holds polluters accountable. In Keeping the Chattahoochee, she tells stories that range from joyous and funny to frustrating—even alarming—to illustrate what it takes to save an endangered river. Her tales are triggered by the regular walks she takes through a forest to the Chattahoochee over the course of a year, finding solace and kinship in nature. 
 
 
 
For two decades, Bethea worked to restore the neglected Chattahoochee, which provides drinking water and recreation to millions of people, habitat for wildlife, and water for industries and farms as it cuts through the heart of the Deep South. Pairing natural and political history with reflective writing, she draws listeners into her watershed and her memories. Bethea's passion for the natural world—and for defending it with a strong, informed voice animates this instructive memoir. Offering lessons on how to fight for our fundamental right to clean water, Bethea and her colleagues take on powerful corporate and government polluters. They strengthen environmental policies and educate children, reviving the great river from a century of misuse.

Understanding Human Metabolism

Keith N. Frayn

Does eating more carbohydrates, or fats, cause one to put on more weight? Are ketone bodies toxins or vital products that keep us alive during starvation? Does the concept of 'fat-burning exercise' hold true? In this game-changing book, Keith Frayn, an international expert in human metabolism and nutrition, dispels common misconceptions about human metabolism, explaining in everyday language the important metabolic processes that underlie all aspects of our daily lives. Frayn describes the communication systems that enable our different organs and tissues to cooperate, for instance in providing fuel to our muscles when we exercise, and in preserving our tissues during fasting. He explores the impressive adaptability of human metabolism and discusses the metabolic disorders that can arise when metabolism 'goes wrong'. For anyone skeptical of information about diet and lifestyle, this concise book guides the listener through what metabolism really involves.

Digital Nomad - Travel the World...

Daniel Shore

The digital nomad lifestyle has gained popularity in recent years due to advancements in technology and a shift in work culture towards remote employment. Digital nomads typically rely on laptops, smartphones, and internet connectivity to perform their work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. This lifestyle enables individuals to break free from the traditional office setting, allowing them to choose their own hours, travel to new destinations, and immerse themselves in different cultures.
One of the key aspects of the digital nomad lifestyle is flexibility. Since most digital nomads work as freelancers, consultants, or remote employees, they have the freedom to design their own work schedule. This flexibility allows them to prioritize experiences over material possessions, spending their time and resources on travel, exploration, and personal growth.
However, the digital nomad lifestyle also comes with its challenges. Adapting to different time zones, managing work-life balance, and maintaining a stable income stream while on the road can be daunting tasks. Digital nomads must also navigate visa requirements, cultural differences, and logistical issues related to accommodation, transportation, and healthcare.
Despite these challenges, many individuals find the digital nomad lifestyle to be incredibly rewarding. It offers the opportunity to live and work on their own terms, fostering creativity, independence, and a sense of adventure. Whether it's working from a beachside cafe in Bali, a co-working space in Lisbon, or a mountain retreat in Colorado, the digital nomad lifestyle opens up a world of possibilities for those willing to embrace it.
