  Reimagining The Divine - A...

  The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
    
  Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
    
  Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
    
  Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
    
  The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
  If your vision for the future is 
  ·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
  ·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
  ·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
  then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.

  Spaced Out is designed to give a brief overview on all of the subjects that pertain to astronomy and space sciences in a down-to-Earth way.  
  It is inspired by current space news and the most asked questions from popular science communicator Kalpana Pot’s online audience.  
  The subjects covered include our solar system, stars, galaxies, exoplanets, telescopes, spacetime, interstellar objects, relativity, quantum mechanics, debunking conspiracies, and the unknown.  
  Each page covers one specific concept that fits into the above categories. This gives the readers a general take on rather complex topics.  
  Readers are further encouraged to do their own deep-dive on the topics that interest them the most. 
  The more we learn about the Universe, the more we realize how much we don’t know. Discoveries that challenge what we once thought we knew happen all the time. This book is accurate for the time of the writing, but things can always change, and that’s what’s most exciting about science in general!  
  Space is for everyone. You’re never too old, too young, too uneducated, or even too busy to slow down and ponder the final frontier.

  City Nature - Tales of Ornery...

  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.
