Regenerative Soil - The Science & Solutions covers soil management, remediation, generation, and the science from the biological, chemistry, and biochemistry perspectives and all connected to the natural farming methods, so we can see and calculate those methods for and at scale in all climates and situations from gardening to farming to large-scale remediation. You'll be able to see the cycles for each nutrient/element and why/how/when of their cycles - it builds a principle-based understanding that allows for improvisation and comprehension across disciplines, methods, and techniques.
Soil is the lynchpin to life as we know it. It's where carbon is stored, where all life comes from and returns, and it's also the living foundation for all life on land and sea. If we want to restore our environment, economy, and health FAST, we have to work with soil and not just in one area, but in ALL areas. We have to make SOIL a permanent part of our culture.
...BUT Many of us have NO IDEA how to build, remediate, enrich, and manage healthy soils.

More than twenty years after the killings of global rap icons Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., Keffe D's gritty memoir is an authentic, street-level narrative from a major street player who was inextricably involved. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis' memoir underscores the universal corruption of crime and punishment in the United States in an environment where plea deals, grand jury indictments, and cooperation with the FBI has become commonplace. Compton Street Legend is the story of the explosive consequences when the powerful worlds of the streets, entertainment, and corrupt law enforcement collide.
Regenerative Soil - The Teacher's Guide is a companion to Regenerative Soil, the textbook, written by Matt Powers. It covers Next Generation Science Standards, National Science Education Standards, and Permaculture Education Standards in a format all teacher's can recognize and readily use in a classroom, written by a teacher for all teachers.
It includes:
A funny, warm-hearted, and provocative farce about a beautiful but troubled insurance adjuster who believes she has psychic powers she cannot control. She decides to enter a Catholic convent for three months to protect society from her powerful emotions and her devoted math teacher boyfriend hopes this will cure her of these delusions. But the only convent that will accept her is an impoverished cloister run by a gang of outlaw nuns opening a brewery to help finance their radical activist plans.
Countless schemes for organizing this book have come and gone: themes, perhaps, those about nature, followed by comments on the plights of mankind, love, sadness, humor, politics, and others.
Upon reflection, Robert Brennan realized that such an order did not reflect the characteristics of how he writes or how he thinks or, in fact, how the world unfolds before his eyes. In truth, His afternoon walks along the road that has inspired words about aging against a sunset differ from those inspired by the moving in and out of sadness in the evening news.
As in everyman's mind, the flow is steady and varied and punctuated by moments of lucidity and wonder, by moments of fear and anguish and peacefulness and great sorrow and all elements of human thinking and feeling.
Still, while each of us experiences periods in our lives of prolonged states of mind and heart, as when we are heartbroken over the loss of a loved one, life in its totality is - for good or for bad - a moving screen.
This book is not arranged in categories. There might be pages near each other that are similar in content and tone. In other cases, the subject from one page to the next might be radically different. It is intended that each page stands on its own, which again, for good or bad, more faithfully reflects how my poems arise.
Recognizing that some structural order is needed, I have chosen the one that is the most dependable and familiar of all: chance, pure, unadulterated chance. Arbitrariness follows. The fact that it is totally arbitrary, in this case, is something that we all will have to live with; however, in a special irony, although the actual content of the work is arranged arbitrarily, the pages of the book are more or less in alphabetical order. Go figure. Here is the ultimate orderliness, sparing with ambiguity, like a challenge. Read on.

Growing up a headstrong Irish Catholic girl in a notoriously tough housing estate in Northern England, Moya has just one goal-to live a rich creative life in America. Shoulder tells the story of the riotous and hilarious path from her boisterous but warm family back home to her education in London and her escape to New York in the 1980s where she finds everything she's looking for-exciting jobs in the fashion industry and later at MTV-but where she also meets the man of her dreams, only to lose him to cancer following the birth of their son. Told in a voice that is equal parts Alan Bennett and Frank McCourt, this is a story about the thrill of taking chances and the unbearable pain of loss, as well as a profound meditation on what it takes to survive and what it means to care for others.

How is it different from what's already available?
Designed to change the world by teaching in-depth permaculture to anyone from young adults still in high school and college to adults from all climates and contexts for a brighter future for all.
This book is full of photographs of real-life examples, instructive diagrams, engaging illustrations, inspiring and instructive quotes, and current references that connect, organize, and highlight the current leading examples of applied permaculture in numerous fields and situations. Readers get a clear idea of how they can apply permaculture in their own way in their own lives.
This book is designed for both hemispheres, both imperial and metric, all climates, and all peoples. It is for a regenerative, abundant, and hopeful future.
After years of terrorizing the politically difficult sect of Jews called Christians, Paul, a devout Jew and prosperous business man, decides that a disgraced young rabbi, Jesus of Nazareth (whom he never met), was on to something important for the future of Judaism. He spends the next couple of decades trying to make both his fellow Jews and his gentile neighbors see things his way and meets with unending resistance.
Acts is a modernist and often hilarious retelling of the adventures of Saint Paul as told in The Acts of the Apostles, the fifth book of the Christian New Testament. Though told in perfectly contemporary terms (people drive cars, smoke cigarettes, and argue about feminism) it makes no apology for pretending to be happening in the first century in Palestine and the Aegean.
This volume also includes the screenplay for Hartley's critically acclaimed short feature, The Book of Life (1998) and his one play, Soon (1997), commissioned by the Salzburger Festspiele in Austria and staged in Europe and the United States in 1998 and 2001. These previous works, first instigated by contemporary events involving millennialist Christians in conflict with American law, proved to be the stimulus for Hartley's decade-long study of Saint Paul and the writing of Acts (2008).
