The Johnson Method - Guidebook For New Tractor-Trailer Drivers

Terrence Johnson

Sinossi

Driving tractor-trailers - a seemingly simple activity, but in reality, a complex system of moving goods from one location to another. Driving tractor-trailers - not just a job or profession, but an experience. It will change your life. But it is not short of challenges (and a sharp learning curve).
 
Many who step foot through those doors come to the conclusion that they made the right choice by going to a trucking school and getting a CDL, until they begin driving and realize the industry (and driving tractor-trailers) is a lot different than they were expecting. In this guidebook I will share with you The Johnson Method, a tried, true, and actually safe driving performance I learned, personally use myself, and train others.
 
Learn everything from greasing the 5th wheel, sliding tandems, how to properly perform an alley dock, drop trailers, hook trailers, sliding the 5th wheel, how to use a weigh scale, keeping your paychecks high (and your work easy), and much more! Learn all the things they don’t teach in trucking school, and gain insight on how your job will be like in the real world, on and off the highway.

Mumbai - A Million Islands

Sidharth Bhatia

Since the East India Company merged seven islands into Bombay (now Mumbai), change has been constant-but now it is used as a weapon for displacement, disguised as development. Slums are erased overnight to make way for luxury towers priced in tens of crores. The working class is pushed to the margins-literally-and into distant housing projects with no infrastructure, transport or sanitation. Entire communities are uprooted while a new Mumbai is built for the privileged few, behind closed gates, inside glass walls. 
Sidharth Bhatia's Mumbai: A Million Islands is a piercing look at a city in the throes of relentless transformation. What is vanishing is not just space, but memory, history and the very fabric of a living city. Mumbai's famed spirit of survival is being tested like never before. Where the original seven islands had symbolized a synergy, today they're multiplying as fractures-social, spatial and economic-splitting the city into a million islands, each more isolated than the other.

Cat Gods Goddesses Deities and...

Natalie Bovis

Discover 51 of the most common and not-so-common cat gods, goddesses, deities, and demons from around the world and how to incorporate their Divine Feline Energy into your daily life. Throughout time, felines have played a sacred role in human life. Archeologists have found cat remains buried with humans as far back as the tenth millennium BCE in Cyprus, and the Greek goddess Hecate is said to have regularly assumed the form of a cat. Hieroglyphics tell us that ancient Egyptians worshipped cat gods, and their queen Cleopatra had a kitty companion in her palace whom she called Tivali. A Chinese cat goddess called Li Shou is said to have protected farmers from mice, and Ai Apaec was a pre-Inca god with fangs and whiskers said to have descended from an even more ancient cat god. This book is more than a guide to ancient cat gods. It’s an exploration of the way humans have observed, interacted with, learned from, and revered another species who share the Earth with us. Ancient folklore is rife with examples of animal cunning and compassion, and many humans invoked other species as spiritual guides or flat out worshipped them as gods. Arguably, cats are the most intriguing of animals because of how we can relate to them. Much like us, they are free spirits and adaptable survivors. We admire them for their dignity, independence, and ferocity. In this guidebook, you’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe. You’ll also encounter mystical cats who work in alliance with human gods and goddesses. The feline entities come from different eras and cultures all over the world. Some are angelic guides, and others, demonic adversaries, but all play a role in our understanding of feline deities and why they became to be so. Learn all about these sacred godlike creatures, including what they look like, what they symbolize, and how you can use their spirit and ancient wisdom to tap into your own Divine Feline Energy.

The Permaculture Home Garden -...

Gertrude Harris

In recent years, there has been a growing shift toward sustainable living, and one of the most impactful ways individuals can contribute to environmental stewardship is through permaculture. The Permaculture Home Garden Design and Implementation is designed to guide you through the principles and practices that can transform your home garden into a self-sustaining, ecologically balanced ecosystem. This book is for anyone, whether you are a seasoned gardener or just beginning, who is interested in creating a space that not only provides food but also nurtures the environment.
Permaculture, at its core, is a design system rooted in natural ecosystems, aiming to meet human needs while regenerating the planet. It goes beyond organic gardening by integrating every element of your home and garden—plants, animals, structures, and even human activities—into a cohesive whole. By observing the natural world, permaculture teaches us how to mimic the processes found in nature to create systems that are productive, resilient, and low-maintenance.
One of the central ideas of permaculture is that a sustainable garden doesn’t need to be a constant source of stress and hard labor. Instead, it’s about working with nature’s rhythms, understanding the needs of your plants and animals, and fostering an environment where they can thrive with minimal external inputs. By applying the permaculture principles to your home garden, you will create a space that grows food, builds soil health, conserves water, supports biodiversity, and ultimately reduces your reliance on outside resources.
This book will help you start from the very beginning, guiding you through an in-depth exploration of permaculture principles and their practical application. You will learn how to assess your land, plan your garden using thoughtful design, and implement solutions that foster long-term ecological health.
