  In the midst of ongoing news about Southwestern water scarcity, Martha Retallick sees an opportunity. For 20 years, she has been transforming her central Tucson home into an urban oasis. The secret to her success: Water harvesting. Since Retallick purchased her central Tucson home in 2004, she has incorporated two types of water harvesting – passive and active – into her landscape. Passive water harvesting is simply the act of sculpting the landscape to direct the water to where it should be – like plants – and away from where it shouldn’t be – like a home’s foundation. Retallick’s landscape incorporates three passive water harvesting features – basins, berms, and drainage swales. Collectively, these earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation that’s connected to the municipal water supply, which is served by Tucson Water. According to Tucson Water, approximately 40 percent of water use in Tucson is outdoors. This includes residential uses like landscape irrigation and garden watering. Retallick’s irrigation-free landscape also includes two active water harvesting features, a 1,500-gallon cistern that collects rainwater for use in the back-yard vegetable garden, and a laundry-to-landscape greywater harvesting system that diverts wastewater from the washing machine to three fruit trees. City Nature is illustrated with more than 60 of Retallick’s color photographs, which show the wide variety of plant life on her property, the birds she shares it with, and her various do-it-herself projects, the most notable being a kinetic sculpture created from a recycled chandelier. The book also includes a list of suggested resources that encompasses books, websites, organizations, and businesses that can aid readers interested in desert gardening and landscaping, and in water conservation.

  Beyond the Visible - Exploring...

  The universe is filled with countless forces that shape our world, yet many of these forces remain invisible to the human eye. These unseen forces have a profound impact on our lives, even though we often don't fully comprehend their influence. Some are well-known, like gravity, while others, such as dark matter, remain shrouded in mystery. 
  Gravity is perhaps the most familiar invisible force, as it affects everything in the universe. It pulls objects toward each other, dictating the movement of planets, stars, and galaxies. The force of gravity keeps our feet firmly planted on Earth and governs the orbits of celestial bodies. While its effects are clear, gravity itself is not something we can see, touch, or directly measure. Instead, scientists observe how it influences the motion of objects in space, helping them calculate the mass and structure of planets and stars. 
  Another crucial invisible force is the electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic forces govern the interactions between charged particles, such as electrons and protons. These forces are responsible for phenomena like light, magnetism, and electricity. Electromagnetic waves, like radio waves, microwaves, and visible light, travel through space and allow us to communicate, see, and power our devices. Though we can't physically see these forces, we experience their effects constantly. The devices we rely on daily, from smartphones to microwave ovens, operate because of electromagnetic interactions.

  A Brief Manifesto on South American Identity 
  Have you ever wondered why seas around the world have names... but South America doesn't? 
  Amid forgotten maps, hushed histories and ignored identities, a disturbing question echoes through the waters of the South Atlantic. This is not just an e-book — it is an invitation to reflect on culture, memory and belonging. 
  This e-book is not intended to generalize in an attacking way, but rather to shed light on what has been hidden over the centuries — and which, in a certain way, continues to be silenced. 
  A deep analysis of the role of the sea in the formation of South American identity and integration. History, culture and politics connected by water.
