“Kill it with fire”, the typical first reaction to a legacy system falling into obsolescence, is a knee-jerk approach that often burns through tons of money and time only to result in a less efficient solution. This book offers a far more forgiving modernization framework, laying out smart value-add strategies and proven incremental techniques that work equally well for ancient systems and brand-new ones.

Permaculture makes the most use of what nature provides for us by using specific design strategies to maximize nature’s gifts, such as food, energy, and shelter.

Python is on the rise in the world of coding and many popular technological devices from the Raspberry Pi to the Linux operating system use Python as a crux for not just education, but implementation. Python can help you code your own software, develop your own games, and even format your own home surveillance system! It is, hands down, one of the most useful coding languages around, and the way it is formatted cuts out a great deal of the fluff that other coding languages have a tendency to be bogged down with.

Dr. Adam Markham was diagnosed with an incurable cancer. He only had a few months to live when he was offered the opportunity to participate in a scientific study being conducted by a top research company. If the study was a success he would be cured of his cancer and his body would approach genetic perfection. If unsuccessful he would die. He felt it was worth the risk since he would die in a few months anyway. What he didn't expect is that the suspended animation would last for years. When he awakened he was cured of his cancer and thanks to genetic engineering had been gifted with ...

Most of us have heard of black holes and supernovas, galaxies and the big bang. But few of us understand more than the bare facts about the universe we call home. What is really out there? How did it all begin? Jo Dunkley begins in Earth's neighborhood, explaining the nature of the solar system, the stars in our night sky, and the Milky Way. She then moves out past nearby galaxies - and back in time - to the horizon of the observable universe, which contains over a hundred billion galaxies, each with billions of stars, many orbited by planets, some of which may host life.

The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people.
