The garden - intended to functionlike a natural ecosystem with the plants themselves providingmost of the gardens needs for fertility, pest control, and weed

suppressionalso features an edible water garden, a year-roundunheated greenhouse, tropical crops, urban poultry, and evensilkworms.

In telling the story ofParadise Lot, Toensmeier explains theprinciples and practices of permaculture, the choice of exotic andunusual food plants, the techniques of design and cultivation, and,of course, the adventures, mistakes, and do-overs in the process.Packed full of detailed, useful information about designing ahighly productive permaculture garden,Paradise Lotis also afunny and charming story of two single guys, both plant nerds,with a wild plan: to realize the garden of their dreams and meetwomen to share it with.

* The basics of bee biology and anatomy;* Urban beekeeping;* Identifying and working with queens;* Parasitic mite control; and* Hive diseases.Also, a completely new chapter on marketing provides

valuable advice for anyone who intends to sell a wide range ofhive products. Whether you are a novice looking to get started

with bees, an experienced apiculturist looking for ideas todevelop an integrated pest-management approach, or someonewho wants to sell honey at a premium price, this is the bookyou've been waiting for.

Foreword by Bill McKibben

Book DescriptionBecause climatic uncertainty has now become "the new normal,"many farmers, gardeners and orchard-keepers in North America aredesperately seeking ways to adapt their food production to becomemore resilient in the face of such "global weirding."

This practical book is replete with detailed descriptions anddiagrams showing how to implement desert-adapted practices inyour own backyard, orchard, or farm to mitigate the impact of theserapid changes. It also includes colorful parables from the field thatexemplify how desert farmers think about increasing the carryingcapacity and resilience of the lands and waters they steward. Thisunique book is useful not only for farmers and permaculturists in thearid reaches of the Southwest or other desert regions.

Book DescriptionWhen Middlebury writing professor Don Mitchell was approached by abiologist with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department about trackingendangered Indiana bats on his 150-acre farm in Vermonts picturesqueChamplain Valley, Mitchells relationship with batsand withgovernmentcould be characterized as distrustful, at best.

But the flying rats, as Mitchell initially thinks of them, launched himon a series of improvements to his land that would provide a morewelcoming habitat for the batsand a modest tax break for himself and hisfamily. Whether persuading his neighbors to join him on a silentmeditation, pulling invasive garlic mustard out of the ground by hand,navigating the tacit ground rules of buying an ATV off Craigslist, or

leaving just enough honeysuckle to give government inspectors "somethingto find," Mitchells tale is as profound as it is funnya journey thatchanges Mitchells relationship with Chiropotera, the land, and, ultimately,his understanding of his own past.

Ruminating on the nature of authority, the purview of the state, andthe value of inhabiting ones nicheMitchell reveals much about our innerand outer landscape, in this perfectly paced and skilled story of place.

Author BioDon Mitchell is a novelist, essayist and sometime screenwriter whose mostrecent books are The Nature Notebooks (a novel) and a guidebook toVermont in the Fodors/Compass American series.

Out on a Limb:What Black Bears Taught Me about Intelligence and

Intuition

By Benjamin Kilham

Book DescriptionIn Out on a Limb, Ben Kilham invites us into the world he has come toknow best: the world of black bears. For decades, he has studied wildpopulations in northern New Hampshire and he has followed the lives ofthe orphans who were brought to him as infants and who he raised andintroduced to the wild. Along the way, Kilham has made some remarkablediscoveries: an organ that helps bears decipher the smells and tastes in theirworld; the way unrelated females cooperate in times of food shortages orsurpluses; and the code of conduct that keeps the bears' world orderly. Healso shares his rare glimpses of bear justice - showing just how theyenforce their rules, define their boundaries, and, when necessary, deliverpunishment.

Could these cooperative behaviors, he asks, mimic behavior that

existed in the animal that became human? In watching bears, do we seeour earliest forms of communications unfold? Though Kilham's findingshave interested bear researchers worldwide, his field technique is age-old:daily observation. And his insight into the way bears communicate is likelyaided by his own ability to think in pictures, a gift of the dyslexia that kepthim out of the academic-paper-writing world of modern science. Kilhamdelivers in Out on a Limb not just a fascinating glimpse at the inner worldof bears, but also a passionate case for science - and education in general--to open its doors to different ways of learning and researching, doors thatcould lead to far broader realms of discovery.

Author BioBen Kilham has been researching and living with black bears for manyyears. He has become an expert in this field, and is invited to lecture allover the US and internationally. He wrote Among the Bears, RaisingOrphan Cubs in the Wild (Henry Holt, 2002) which was also published inGermany, Slovakia, and The Czech Republic. Ben and his work with blackbears has been featured in five internationally televised documentaries andhe have appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America, ABCNightly News, ABC Nightly News International, The OReilly Factor, Fox

News Daytime Edition, Inside Edition, The David Letterman Show, NBC

Nightline, CBS Coast to Coast, Canadian Broadcasting Company Nightly

News, and various others. In addition to television interviews, he has beeninterviewed for over forty nationally broadcast radio shows includingNational Public Radio and New Hampshire Public Radio. He lives inLyme, New Hampshire.

Thinking in Systems:A Primer

By Donella Meadows

Book Description

In the years following her role as the lead author of the internationalbestseller,Limits to Growththe first book to show theconsequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet DonellaMeadows remained a pioneer of environmental and social analysisuntil her untimely death in 2001.

Meadows newly released manuscript, Thinking in Systems, isa concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving onscales ranging from the personal to the global. Some of the biggestproblems facing the worldwar, hunger, poverty, andenvironmental degradationare essentially system failures. Theycannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others,because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to

undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking.While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of

systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander thanmethodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturingpositive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behindglobal dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what isimportant, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay alearner. In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, andinterdependent, Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusionand helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive andeffective solutions.

Author BioA woman whose pioneering work in the 1970s still makes front-page news, Donella Meadows was a scientist, author, teacher, andfarmer widely considered ahead of her time. She was one of theworld's foremost systems analysts and lead author of the influentialLimits to Growththe 1972 book on global trends in population,economics, and the environment that was translated into 28languages and became an international bestseller. That booklaunched a worldwide debate on the earth's capacity to withstandconstant human development and expansion. Twenty years later,she and co-authors Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers reportedon their follow-up study in Beyond the Limits and a final revision of

their research, Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update, waspublished in 2004.To many, Meadows is most remembered for her weekly,

nationally syndicated column, "The Global Citizen," which ran for16 years and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. She was thefounder of the Sustainability Institute, cofounder of the InternationalNetwork of Resource Information Centers (INRIC, also called theBalaton Group), and a generally recognized leader in getting peopleat all levels of society, government, and business to thinkdifferently, understand systems, and strive for sustainability.

2052:A Global Forecast for the Next Forty YearsBy Jorgen Randers

Book Description

Forty years ago, The Limits to Growth study addressed the grand

question of how humans would adapt to the physical limitationsof planet Earth. It predicted that during the first half of the 21stcentury the ongoing growth in the human ecological footprintwould stopeither through catastrophic overshoot andcollapseor through well-managed peak and decline.

So, where are we now? And what does our future look like?In the book2052, Jorgen Randers, one of the co-authors ofLimitsto Growth, issues a progress report and makes a forecast for thenext forty years. To do this, he asked dozens of experts to weighin with their best predictions on how our economies, energysupplies, natural resources, climate, food, fisheries, militaries,political divisions, cities, psyches, and more will take shape in the

coming decades. He then synthesized those scenarios into aglobal forecast of life as we will most likely know it in the yearsahead.

The good news: we will see impressive advances in resourceefficiency, and an increasing focus on human well being ratherthan on per capita income growth. But this change might notcome as we expect. Future growth in population and GDP, forinstance, will be constrained in surprising waysby rapidfertility decline as result of increased urbanization, productivitydecline as a result of social unrest, and continuing poverty amongthe poorest 2 billion world citizens. Runaway global warming,too, is likely.

So, how do we prepare for the years ahead? With heart, fact,and wisdom, Randers guides us along a realistic path into thefuture and discusses what readers can do to ensure a better life forthemselves and their children during the increasing turmoil of thenext forty years.

Top-bar Beekeeping:Organic Practices for Honeybee HealthNatural hive management for honey, beeswax, and

pollination

By Heather Harrell and Les Crowder

Book DescriptionIn recent years beekeepers have had to face tremendous challenges,from pests such as varroa and tracheal mites and from the mysteriousbut even more devastating phenomenon known as Colony CollapseDisorder (CCD). Yet in backyards and on rooftops all over the world,bees are being raised successfully, even without antibiotics, miticides,or other chemical inputs.

More and more organically minded beekeepers are now usingtopbar hives, in which the shape of the interior resembles a hollowlog. Long lasting and completely biodegradable, a topbar hive madeof untreated wood allows bees to build comb naturally rather thansimply filling prefabricated foundation frames in a typical box hive

with added supers.Topbar hives yield slightly less honey but produce more

beeswax than a typical Langstroth box hive. Regular hive inspectionand the removal of old combs helps to keep bees healthier andnaturally disease-free.

Topbar Beekeepingprovides complete information on hivemanagement and other aspects of using these innovative hives. Allhome and hobbyist beekeepers who have the time and interest inkeeping bees intensively should consider the natural, low-stressmethods outlined in this book. It will also appeal to home orchardists,gardeners, and permaculture practitioners who look to bees forpollination as well as honey or beeswax.

Author BiosLes Crowder has devoted his entire adult life to the study and care ofhoneybees. He has been a leader in his community, having served asNew Mexicos honeybee inspector and president of the New MexicoBeekeepers Association. He is an avid storyteller and has spokenannually at the NM Organic Farm Conference for over fifteen years.Les is also a certified teacher and enjoys teaching children Spanishand science.

Heather Harrell moved to New Mexico in 1996 from her homestate of Vermont to pursue her masters degree in Eastern Classics.Her love of nature soon had her pursuing a life as an organic farmer,

focusing on flowers, then medicinal herbs. Over time, and through herwork with honeybees, she has moved her focus to the study ofmultiuse permaculture plantings, which support a diverse network ofinterrelationships in the natural world.

Nuclear Roulette:

The Truth about the Most Dangerous Energy Source

on Earth

By Gar SmithForeword by Jerry Mander and Ernest Callenbach

Book Description

Nuclear power is not clean, cheap, or safe. With Three Mile Island,Chernobyl, and Fukushima, the nuclear industrys record ofcatastrophic failures now averages one major disaster every decade.After three US-designed plants exploded in Japan, many countriesmoved to abandon reactors for renewables. In the United States,however, powerful corporations and a compliant government stilldefend nuclear powerwhile promising billion-dollar bailouts tooperators.

Each new disaster demonstrates that the nuclear industry andgovernments lie to avoid panic and preserve the myth of safe, cleannuclear power. Tokyo and Washington both covered up Fukushimasradiation risks andwhen confronted with damning evidencesimplyraised the levels of acceptable risk to match the greater levels ofexposure.

Nuclear Roulette dismantles the core arguments behind thenuclear-industrial complex's Nuclear Renaissance. While somecritiques are familiarnuclear power is too costly, too dangerous, andtoo unstableothers are surprising:Nuclear Roulette exposes historiclinks to nuclear weapons, impacts on Indigenous lands and lives, andthe ways in which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission too often takes

its lead from industry, rewriting rules to keep failing plants incompliance.Nuclear Roulette cites NRC records showing howcorporations routinely defer maintenance and lists resulting near-misses in the US, which average more than one per month. As nuclearengineers have long observed: nuclear energy can be cheap and it canbe safe. But it cant be both.

Nuclear Roulette chronicles the problems of aging reactors,uncovers the costly challenge of decommissioning, explores theindustrys greatest seismic risksnot on Californias quake-pronecoast but in the Midwest and Southeastand explains how solar flarescould black out power grids, causing the worlds 400-plus reactors toself-destruct.

Nuclear Roulette concludes with a roundup of proven and pendingenergy solutions that can replace nuclear technology with a RenewableRenaissance.
