  Rather than trying to bend your mind around all the vast and confounding details of things such as gravitational waves, electricity, and black holes, wouldn't it be easier to understand just one central concept from which everything else follows? 
   
   
   
  If you've ever found yourself fascinated by the idea of quantum computing but feel a little overwhelmed by the mind-blowing subject of quantum mechanics or concerned by climate change but haven't been able to get to grips with the details of global warming, this book is for you. Let's take atoms, for example—what on earth are they? Well, if you start to think of them less like things you can't see with complex little nuclei and more like the alphabet of nature, they might start to feel a little more understandable. Or gravitational waves—why are they creating so much excitement? Think of them as the voice of space, vibrations on the drumskin of space-time—before delving into all their complexities. 
   
   
   
  Chown explains the one thing you need to know to understand some of the most important scientific ideas of our time. Packed full of astounding facts, scientific history, and the entertaining personalities at the heart of the most pivotal discoveries about the workings of our universe, this is an accessible guide to all the tricky stuff you've always wanted to understand more about.

  The American Chestnut - An...

  Before 1910 the American chestnut was one of the most common trees in the eastern United States. An important natural resource, chestnut wood was preferred for woodworking, fencing, and building construction, as it was rot resistant and straight grained. The hearty and delicious nuts also fed wildlife, people, and livestock. 
   
   
   
  Ironically, the tree that most piqued the emotions of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Americans has virtually disappeared from the eastern United States. After a blight fungus was introduced into the United States during the late nineteenth century, the American chestnut became functionally extinct. Although the virtual eradication of the species caused one of the greatest ecological catastrophes since the last ice age, considerable folklore about the American chestnut remains. 
   
   
   
  The American Chestnut tells the story of the American chestnut from Native American prehistory through the Civil War and the Great Depression. Davis documents the tree's impact on nineteenth-and early twentieth-century American life, including the decorative and culinary arts. The author also evaluates efforts to restore the American chestnut to its former place in the eastern deciduous forest, including modern attempts to genetically modify the species.

  Think you can't garden because your soil is poor, your water is scarce, and your space is limited? Think again. Drawn from the popular columns of Grocott's Mail, this handbook is packed with proven, hard-won wisdom from South Africa's Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.  
  This collection of bite-sized columns and stories is a practical guide to creating life and community from barren ground. Learn how to compost, drought-proof your beds, build parks from dumps, and harness ferments for richer soil, the secrets of xerophytes, the art of fermentation for plant health, and how to build a thriving garden from tyres, pallets, and recycled "graywater." 
  More than just a gardening manual, it's a testament to the power of a seed and a shovel to change not only a landscape but a community. This collection chronicles the ingenious, low-cost, and utterly organic methods locals use to coax life from the earth. 
  Filled with heartfelt stories like Cecil's transformation of a Currie Street dumping ground and practical advice for every season, this book is an essential companion for any gardener fighting their own odds. From the "Garden of the Week" at the Hayton Complex to the determined schoolchildren of the Feeding The Self project, these stories prove that a garden is more than food—it's a classroom, a community centre, and a beacon of hope. Packed with actionable advice on everything from graywater systems and winter warming to natural pest control, The Resilient Garden is a powerful call to pick up a trowel and start growing, no matter your circumstances. 
  Whether you're nurturing seedlings on a windowsill or mobilizing a community to turn a dump into a park, this book shows you how to grow against the odds. Your toughest growing conditions are about to become your greatest advantage.
