Sinopse

Dry Winds Hydrate explores innovative solutions to water scarcity in arid regions by examining unconventional water sources: cacti and dew. It argues that these resources, often overlooked, can be viable for sustainable water management, especially as climate change strains traditional sources. The book delves into how cacti store water, acting as natural reservoirs in the desert, and how atmospheric conditions create dew.

 
The book presents a three-part exploration. First, it investigates different methods of extracting water from cacti species, evaluating their efficiency and impact. Second, it covers the principles of dew harvesting, from designing collectors to understanding environmental influences. Finally, using geographic information systems (GIS), the book analyzes site suitability and potential yields, providing a practical approach to implementation.

 
Combining scientific analysis with real-world applications, Dry Winds Hydrate provides a comprehensive guide for utilizing these resources, from botanical water extraction to atmospheric moisture capture. It blends scientific literature, field research, and traditional knowledge to offer a balanced perspective on the potential and limitations of these water-harvesting techniques.

Flipping Patriarchy - Imagining...

Man Who Has It All

An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards. 
 
Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's t-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law and male drivers? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the 24-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control. 
 
Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.
