  Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste. With wry and brilliant writing, ​Cassanda Marketos brings the culture, beauty, community, and philosophy of compost to life in this one-of-a-kind, inventive work of narrative nonfiction that brings compost out of the dark ages and into the contemporary moment. Delightfully philosophical and inviting, it is an accessible guide to everything you need to know about compost, with actionable advice for beginners and experienced composters. You will learn why compost works, where to put your compost, how to pick your compost set up, the basics of decomposition, what to put in a compost pile, where to source your compost materials, and how to build a pile. With insights on what tools to consider, how to deal with odors, insects, and other critters, and transitioning your compost pile for colder weather, find easy-to-follow compost pile designs, tips on composting in small spaces, composting with worms, and how to compost things you're always told you can't (you just need to know how). This book has something for everyone, at any stage in their compost journey, and includes edgy, delightful illustrations by the artist Sludge Thunder throughout. And...it's literally compostable. Read it, follow the advice, and toss it into your compost pile.

  Urban geography is a specialized subfield within human geography that focuses on the spatial aspects of cities and urban areas. It seeks to understand the patterns, processes, and interactions that shape the development of cities, as well as the complex dynamics between urban spaces and the broader environment. This discipline is essential for comprehending how cities evolve, function, and adapt to the challenges of urbanization in a rapidly changing world. 
  The role of cities in geography is multifaceted. Cities are not only the centers of economic, political, and cultural activity but also crucial nodes in the global network. They function as hubs for trade, finance, education, and innovation, while also representing unique environments that reflect the broader social, economic, and environmental conditions of their regions. Urban areas often act as catalysts for growth and change, influencing not just their immediate surroundings but the larger global landscape as well. 
  At the core of urban geography lies the exploration of key concepts that shape the organization and transformation of cities. These concepts include urbanization, which refers to the increasing concentration of populations in cities, and urban systems, which describe the networks and interconnections between various urban centers. Additionally, urban geography explores issues like land use, transportation, housing, and social dynamics, all of which play a significant role in the functioning of urban environments.

  HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees & Beekeeping is a great starter guide for those who are simply interested in honey bees or those who are interested in becoming beekeepers themselves. It describes the science of the honey bee itself, as well as the inner workings of each member and how they work together to survive. 
  The colony, as a whole, can be treated as its own organism because of how the honey bees work together to perform tasks as a social species. Beekeepers have been observing such behaviors for generations, and I would like to pass on the knowledge to others. The beekeeping portion of this guide provides a wealth of knowledge on how to start your own apiary. 
  Learn about all the equipment necessary for your operation, how to inspect your hives, what a beekeeper does throughout the year, a short guide to pests and diseases, bee-friendly plants, and how to extract honey and wax from your hives. All of this information can be found in this book. Just a warning, this hobby can cause one to become very passionate about one very small and fuzzy insect. It is not uncommon for a beekeeper to want to be constantly learning about honey bees. 
  About the Author

Dr. Jamie Ellis offered her a summer job at the University of Florida Honey Bee Research and Extension Laboratory.
