    The Annual Flower Garden -...

    Annuals are the showstoppers of the garden world. Unlike perennials that return year after year, annuals complete their entire life cycle—sprouting, blooming, and setting seed—in a single growing season. What they lack in longevity, they more than make up for in intensity. They bloom quickly, often prolifically, and offer gardeners a chance to reinvent their spaces every year. With their wide variety of colors, textures, heights, and growth habits, annuals are perfect for those who love experimenting with new looks, color palettes, or garden layouts. 
    But the appeal of annuals goes beyond mere aesthetics. Many of these plants are pollinator magnets, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your yard. Others serve a more practical role, helping suppress weeds, soften soil, or add organic matter when tilled back into the earth at season’s end. From containers on a balcony to sprawling flower beds in the backyard, annuals bring life and joy to any space. 
    This book is structured to guide you from planning to planting, then on through the growing season with tips for nurturing and troubleshooting your garden. You’ll learn how to select the right flowers for your climate and conditions, prepare your soil for healthy growth, and create designs that pop with color and character. We’ll cover everything from sowing seeds and transplanting young plants to caring for your flowers throughout the season and saving seeds for next year’s garden.

    Olmec Civilization - The First...

    The Olmec civilization, often regarded as the "Mother Culture" of Mesoamerica, emerged around 1200 BCE in the tropical lowlands of present-day southern Mexico, specifically in the Gulf Coast region. This area, rich in natural resources, served as the cradle for one of the earliest and most influential cultures in the Americas. The Olmec are best known for their monumental stone heads, intricate artwork, and the development of many foundational aspects of Mesoamerican civilization. 
    The origins of the Olmec civilization can be traced back to a combination of environmental factors, agricultural innovations, and the development of social structures. The region’s fertile lands provided an abundant supply of food, particularly maize, which became the cornerstone of Olmec agriculture. The availability of other crops, such as beans, squash, and cassava, further supported the growth of a settled society. The Olmec were skilled farmers, and their ability to adapt to the challenging conditions of the tropical lowlands allowed them to create surplus food, leading to population growth and the emergence of more complex social and political systems. 
    One of the defining features of the Olmec civilization was the rise of their urban centers, most notably San Lorenzo, La Venta, and Tres Zapotes. These cities became hubs of political and religious activity, with powerful rulers who controlled vast territories. The creation of these urban centers marked a shift from small, scattered villages to larger, more centralized societies. The Olmec rulers established authority through both political power and religious influence, often associating themselves with divine figures and acting as intermediaries between the gods and the people. This centralization of power allowed for the coordination of large-scale construction projects, such as the creation of the colossal stone heads and other monumental sculptures.

  • Science Be Dammed - How Ignoring Inconvenient Science Drained the Colorado River - cover

    Science Be Dammed - How Ignoring...

    Science Be Dammed is an alarming reminder of the high stakes in the management—and perils in the mismanagement—of water in the western United States. It seems deceptively simple: even when clear evidence was available that the Colorado River could not sustain ambitious dreaming and planning by decision-makers throughout the twentieth century, river planners and political operatives irresponsibly made the least sustainable and most dangerous long-term decisions. 
     
     
     
    Eric Kuhn and John Fleck delve into rarely reported early studies, showing that scientists warned as early as the 1920s that there was not enough water for the farms and cities boosters wanted to build. Contrary to a common myth that the authors of the Colorado River Compact did the best they could with limited information, Kuhn and Fleck show that development boosters selectively chose the information needed to support their dreams, ignoring inconvenient science that suggested a more cautious approach. 
     
     
     
    Focused on both science and policy, Kuhn and Fleck unravel the tangled web that has constructed the current crisis. Understanding how mistakes were made is crucial to understanding our contemporary problems. Science Be Dammed offers important lessons in the age of climate change about the necessity of seeking out the best science to support the decisions we make.
