Synopsis

Space Farming delves into the groundbreaking concept of cultivating plants beyond Earth, offering solutions for long-duration space missions and addressing terrestrial agricultural challenges. It examines how growing crops in space could revolutionize food production, providing a sustainable food source in resource-scarce environments. Understanding plant behavior in microgravity, including photosynthesis and nutrient uptake, is crucial. Early experiments on the International Space Station have paved the way for advanced research simulating Martian conditions, highlighting the evolution of plant biology in space. The book systematically explores the fundamentals of plant biology in space, detailing ongoing experiments and analyzing their results. It investigates technologies like hydroponics, aeroponics, and LED lighting, assessing their potential for optimizing plant growth in controlled environments and creating closed-loop life support systems. By drawing upon scientific publications, NASA reports, and insights from plant biologists and aerospace engineers, Space Farming bridges the gap between scientific research and practical application. Ultimately, Space Farming argues that cultivating plants in space is not merely a futuristic dream but a viable path toward enabling space exploration and developing innovative solutions for agriculture on Earth to improve food security and combat climate change. The book progresses from foundational principles to advanced technologies, culminating in a discussion of the broader implications for sustainable agriculture and resource management.

    For many people, cockroaches are the most pesky of pests. In this funny and fascinating book, Frank reveals his love and admiration for so-called "nasty" creatures like cockroaches, crickets, and more. He shows us that even seemingly terrifying insects are beautiful in their own way—and essential to all life on Earth. 
     
     
     
    Frank never planned to study cockroaches. But when researching hummingbirds fell through, he switched to cockroach feces—and soon fell in love. Cockroaches are incredible survivors, devoted parents, and adapt to almost any environment. Nischk even answers the age-old question of whether a cockroach would survive a nuclear explosion. After hearing such eye-opening and warm-hearted stories, you'll think twice before stepping on one! 
     
     
     
    From cockroaches to crickets, Nischk travels to Ecuador to record cricket sounds, where he finds jungles bursting with a riot of insect life (including bullet ants whose stings are surprisingly painful). As Nischk tells his (mis)adventures as an entomologist, he shares stories about intriguing insect discoveries, from damselflies who lay eggs deep underwater, to zombie fungi that invade the brains of ants. Brimming with fascinating facts, incredible stories, and unbelievable anecdotes, Of Cockroaches and Crickets will intrigue anyone who has ever loved—or hated!—bugs.

The White-breasted Nuthatch may spend much of its time industriously carrying seeds away to hide them in crevices. Its nasal calls are typical and familiar sounds of winter mornings in deciduous woods over much of North America. This binaural audio recording features the White-breasted Nuthatch birdsong recorded in its natural habitat in Iowa’s Yellow River State Forest near a delicate babbling river stream together with other birds, insects, and ground creatures.
