  The Pine Barrens

  Most people think of New Jersey as a suburban-industrial corridor that runs between New York and Philadelphia. Yet in the low center of the state is a near wilderness, larger than most national parks, which has been known since the seventeenth century as the Pine Barrens. 
   
   
   
  The term refers to the predominant trees in the vast forests that cover the area and to the quality of the soils below, which are too sandy and acid to be good for farming. On all sides, however, developments of one kind or another have gradually moved in, so that now the central and integral forest is reduced to about a thousand square miles. Although New Jersey has the heaviest population density of any state, huge segments of the Pine Barrens remain uninhabited. The few people who dwell in the region, the "Pineys," are little known and often misunderstood. Here McPhee uses his uncanny skills as a journalist to explore the history of the region and describe the people—and their distinctive folklore—who call it home.

  This book contains 3 titles, which are the following: 
  · Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is no longer a niche concern for IT professionals but a critical issue that impacts everyone. From personal data breaches to large-scale corporate hacks, the risks of cyber attacks are more real and damaging than ever. Hackers, cybercriminals, and even state-sponsored entities have the ability to infiltrate systems, steal sensitive data, and disrupt critical services. The consequences of these actions can range from financial loss to the erosion of privacy, and in some cases, even national security threats. 
  · Global Disasters: The world is increasingly vulnerable to a wide array of disasters, both natural and man-made, that threaten our lives, economies, and ecosystems. These crises, which range from catastrophic earthquakes to the far-reaching impacts of climate change, have become more frequent, intense, and interconnected. While the planet has always been subject to the forces of nature, human activity has amplified many of these events, while also introducing new, unprecedented risks. Natural disasters, like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, have become an inevitable part of the global landscape, but they are now exacerbated by the ongoing environmental degradation we’ve caused. 
  · Drug Cartels: Drug cartels have become a pervasive and highly organized criminal force with a significant global reach. These powerful syndicates control large portions of the illegal drug trade, operating not only within their home countries but across continents. Their operations extend far beyond drug trafficking, often influencing global markets, politics, and even social structures. The history of drug cartels is intertwined with the rise of drug consumption worldwide, as their growth is directly linked to the increasing demand for illicit substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and marijuana.

  Gardening doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or intimidating. In fact, it can be incredibly simple, even for those with the busiest schedules or the most modest of spaces. That’s where succulents and cacti come in—nature’s low-maintenance marvels. These resilient, often strikingly beautiful plants are not only easy to care for but also bring a sense of calm, creativity, and life to any environment. 
  Succulents and cacti have gained popularity worldwide, and for good reason. With their ability to thrive on minimal water and withstand periods of neglect, they’re ideal for both beginner gardeners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. Their incredible variety—ranging from the soft pastels of echeveria to the spiky grandeur of barrel cacti—makes them perfect for anyone looking to add visual interest and personality to their home or outdoor garden. 
  This book is designed as your practical guide to growing and enjoying succulents and cacti without stress or guesswork. Whether you’re hoping to liven up a sunny windowsill, design a water-wise outdoor landscape, or create a stunning tabletop arrangement, you’ll find the advice and inspiration you need within these pages. We’ll cover everything from choosing the right plants and preparing the perfect soil mix to watering properly, managing pests, and even propagating your favorites to expand your collection. 
  What makes succulents and cacti especially appealing is their adaptability. They flourish in tiny apartments and sprawling gardens alike, can be planted in traditional pots or repurposed containers, and require far less maintenance than most other plant types. For those with busy lifestyles, frequent travel schedules, or even a history of “black thumbs,” these plants offer the perfect entry point into the world of gardening.

  Mother Creature Kin - What We...

  What does it mean to be a mother in an era of climate catastrophe? And what can we learn from the plants and creatures who mother at the edges of their world's unraveling? Becoming a mother in this time means bringing life into a world that appears to be coming undone. Drawing upon ecology, mythology, and her own experiences as a mother, Chelsea Steinauer-Scudder confronts what it means to "mother": to do the good work of being in service to the living world. What if we could all mother the places we live and the beings with whom we share those places? And what if they also mother us? 
   
   
   
  Steinauer-Scudder writes of the flight and aural maps of barn owls, of nursing whales, of forests, of tidal marshes, of ancient single-celled organisms, and of newly planted gardens. The creatures inhabiting these stories teach us about centering, belonging, entanglement, edgework, homemaking, and how to imagine the future. Rooted in wonder while never shying away from loss, Mother, Creature, Kin reaches toward a language of inclusive care learned from creatures living at the brink. Despair and fear will not save the world any more than they will raise our children, and while we don't know what the future holds, we know it will need mothers. As the ground shifts beneath our feet, what if we apprenticed ourselves to the creaturely mothers with whom we share this beloved home?
