Summary

"Composting for Farmers" offers a vital roadmap for agricultural professionals seeking to combat soil degradation through effective organic waste management. This comprehensive guide bridges the gap between scientific theory and practical application, focusing on three critical aspects: biological decomposition processes, material selection, and implementation of efficient composting systems at various scales.

 
The book progresses logically through four main sections, beginning with the scientific foundations of decomposition and nutrient cycling, then moving to material selection and preparation, system design, and finally, quality assessment and application strategies. It distinguishes itself through its integration of real-world case studies from diverse farming operations, including dairy farms and vegetable operations, providing concrete examples of successful composting programs complete with operational data and measured outcomes.

 
What makes this resource particularly valuable is its flexible, principle-based approach that acknowledges regional variations and different farming contexts. While maintaining technical accuracy, the content remains accessible through detailed diagrams, monitoring charts, and step-by-step protocols. The book addresses both immediate practical needs and broader environmental concerns, exploring how composting reduces greenhouse gas emissions and chemical fertilizer dependency. This combination of scientific rigor and practical applicability makes it an essential resource for commercial farmers, agricultural advisors, and serious hobby farmers looking to enhance soil fertility through sustainable practices.

Human-Centered Security - How to...

Heidi Trost, Adam Shostack

In our interconnected world, we face a complex cybersecurity ecosystem where digital vulnerabilities can have far-reaching consequences. Threats to digital infrastructure often impact critical physical systems, potentially causing real-world harm. With AI agents set to handle extensive personal information, data security and privacy are more crucial than ever. 
 
Human-Centered Security targets professionals designing digital products that handle sensitive data: UX designers, engineers, and product managers. It's also for those responsible for securing organizational data and systems: security engineers, CISOs, CIOs, and teams focused on risk management, legal, privacy, and compliance. 
 
These professionals influence security-related behaviors and possess deep knowledge of threats to their products or organizations. This places a significant responsibility on them to design resilient systems that encourage safer outcomes. 
 
This book will help you focus on areas of the user experience where security impacts users the most; understand the dynamics of the security ecosystem; find your security UX allies; ask better questions when talking to your cross-disciplinary team; and more.

Time Waves - How to Spot them...

Michael Mathiesen

What if time isn’t a straight line—but a wave you can ride?
In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites readers on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe.
Spot the Patterns. Feel the Pull. Catch the Wave.
This book is more than a theory—it’s a call to action. Mathiesen urges readers to become “time surfers,” attuned to the subtle pulses of possibility that ripple through the cosmos. With practical insights and poetic flair, he shows how to:Recognize when you're caught in a destructive trough—and how to paddle out.Amplify constructive interference in relationships, creativity, and decision-making.Use metaphor as a scientific instrument—bridging the gap between intuition and data.Reframe synchronicity as a measurable phenomenon, not mere coincidence.Design your life as a waveform—balancing chaos and coherence, risk and rhythm.
If you’ve ever pondered the nature of time after reading Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time, or felt the eerie precision of Jung’s synchronicities, or marveled at gravitational wave detections from LIGO, Time Waves will feel like a homecoming—and a launchpad.
Michael Mathiesen is not just writing—he’s building a wave. With cinematic teasers, tweet bursts, and outreach to space agencies, Time Waves is part of a larger mission to shift how we think, feel, and act in relation to time. Readers are invited to become co-creators, surfers, and storytellers in this unfolding paradigm.

The Man Who Stalked Einstein -...

Bruce J. Hillman, Birgit...

By the end of World War I, Albert Einstein had become the face of the new science of theoretical physics and had made some powerful enemies. One of those enemies, Nobel Prize winner Philipp Lenard, spent a career trying to discredit him. Their story of conflict, pitting Germany’s most widely celebrated Jew against the Nazi scientist who was to become Hitler’s chief advisor on physics, had an impact far exceeding what the scientific community felt at the time. Indeed, their mutual antagonism affected the direction of science long after 1933, when Einstein took flight to America and changed the history of two nations. The Man Who Stalked Einstein details the tense relationship between Einstein and Lenard, their ideas and actions, during the eventful period between World War I and World War II.

First Wilderness - My Quest in...

Sam Keith

After serving as a US Marine during World War II and attending college on the GI Bill, Sam Keith decided to seek adventure in Alaska as a laborer on the Adak Navy base. There he befriended Dick Proenneke, whose shared love of the outdoors, hard work, and self-reliance quickly bonded an alliance between the two. Together they explored the wilds of South Central Alaska, while working on the Navy base, hunting and fishing with friends and breathing in the great outdoors. Keith was ready to leave after three years of finding almost everything he sought—not realizing then how his fate was intrinsically tied to his friend's and how it would lead to writing the bestselling book One Man's Wilderness. 
 
 
 
Sam Keith passed away in 2003. But in 2013, his son-in-law and children's book author/illustrator Brian Lies discovered in an archive box in their garage a book manuscript, originally written in 1974 after the publication of One Man's Wilderness. First Wilderness is the story of Keith's own experiences, at times harrowing, funny, and fascinating. Along with the original manuscript are excerpts from his journals, letters, and notebooks, woven in to create a compelling and poignant memoir of search and discovery. Foreword by Nick Jans, one of Alaska's foremost authors and photographers, and afterword by Keith's daughter Laurel Lies.
