Worms Eat My Garbage
By Mary Appelhof
The book that started a backyard worm revolution over three decades ago continues to be the definitive guide to vermicomposting--the process of using red worms to recycle human food waste into a nutrient-rich fertilizer for plants.
Originally written in 1982 and expanded into a second edition in 1997, Worms Eat My Garbage has sold over 200,000 copies. Author Mary Appelhof excelled at writing scientific information in a format easily understood by the layperson. The book provides complete illustrated instructions on setting up and maintaining a small-scale worm composting system.
This new third edition provides more detail on the anatomy of a red worm. The chapter on worm species updates the number of species identified to date as well as expands on the use of scientific names. Other topics covered are the worm bin ecosystem, the care and feeding of worms, setting up a worm bin, harvesting worm castings, and the benefits of castings to plants.
Appelhof also provides plans for building wooden worm bins and shows how to make a bin out of a plastic tub—along with information on the manufactured bins presently available in the marketplace.

The New Farmer's Almanac, Volume 3
By Greenhorns
Volume 3 of The New Farmer's Almanac—360 pages of original agrarian content, essays, cartoons, imagery and historical snippets—harnesses the wisdom of over 120 contributors from our community of new farmers and ranchers. This volume explores the theme of The Commons, drawing from folklore, mathematical projections, empirical, emotional, and geographical observations of theory and praxis.
Farmers hold space in many interwoven commons, and possibilities for our shared future would seem to rest on how these intersecting commons are governed—particularly at the juncture of humanity and ecology where we make our workplace. In re-visiting the Almanac format, we assert our version of Americana and equip ourselves for the challenges of rebuilding the food system and restoring a more democratic, more diverse, and more resilient foundation for society.
We face a dystopian future, with guaranteed-unpredictable weather, the impending collapse of the fossil fuel economy, endlessly consolidating monopolies, and a country that is, for the first time in our history, majority urban. That's why this Almanac is a utopian publication, one that reminds today's farmers about the foundational concepts of an agrarian democracy—themselves utopian.
But we also reject the self-propelling logic of techno-utopia—dependent upon extraction economies and enclosure of common resources. We orient ourselves instead toward the words of Ursula Le Guin, who reminds us that our intent in utopian thinking should not be "reactionary, nor even conservative, but simply subversive. It seems that the utopian imagination is trapped, like capitalism and industrialism and the human population, in a one-way future consisting only of growth."
This tidy volume holds a civil, lived testimony from people whose work, lifeworld, and behavior patterns beamingly subvert the normative values of the macro economy called America.
The MultiCapital Scorecard
By Martin P. Thomas and Mark W. McElroy
For decades a growing number of companies and other organizations have been asking how they can combine social and environmental responsibilities with their economic obligations. In other words, they want to create a triple bottom line (3BL), reflecting impact on people and planet as well as profit. Those interested in assessing 3BL have struggled with how to best measure the parts in meaningful ways.
An international standard framework for 3BL/integrated corporate reporting has emerged, bringing the parts together, but it fails to provide specific guidance on exactly how to meet the principles. Organizations have been left to figure that out on their own.
In this book, organizational sustainability performance experts Martin Thomas and Mark McElroy introduce the world's most advanced triple-bottom-line (3BL) performance accounting method: The MultiCapital Scorecard. It is the first context-based integrated measurement, management, and reporting system that can help answer the questions all organizations should be asking themselves: How much is enough? And are we sustainable? The answers to these questions set internal performance standards.
This open-source scorecard provides an accessible, standardized methodology that complies with international standards for 3BL/integrated reporting. Whereas the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)address the external financial reporting needs of organizations, they apply only to the United States and are always complemented internally with relevant information for management's decision-making. The MultiCapital Scorecard has been developed by the authors to help organizations around the world assess their impact on the vital natural, social, and economic capitals that together influence their 3BLs.
The authors describe how and why business is gradually shifting from a narrow focus on increasing the value of only one type of capital (economic) to managing its impacts on multiple types in an evenhanded way. They also offer detailed examples of how the MultiCapital Scorecard can be applied. And they discuss the issues that the scorecard raises for organizations truly exploring their overall impact.
The MultiCapital Scorecard is a comprehensive guidebook to this new and necessary performance measurement tool for the new economy.

Wind Energy for the Rest of Us
By Paul Gipe
Wind Energy for the Rest of Us straddles two—or more—worlds. The book is about wind energy. It's not just about small wind turbines. It's not just about large wind turbines. It's about the depth and breadth of wind energy, encompassing more than either type of wind turbine. It includes water-pumping windmills and sailing ships. It's a sprawling book, one minute discussing how to install small wind turbines safely, the next explaining how farmers in Indiana can earn millions by installing their own multimegawatt wind turbines. If it's a book hard to categorize, that suits its author, Paul Gipe, who likes to think he's hard to categorize after four decades at the frontiers of renewable energy. His book tells the story of modern wind energy in all its complexity and introduces a North American audience to the trailblazing electricity rebels who have launched a renewable energy revolution in Europe.
The book debunks novel wind turbines their promoters claim will generate electricity "too cheap to meter," and rebukes revisionist historians who falsely argue that it was the aerospace industry that delivered today's modern wind turbines.
Gipe explains why new wind turbines are part of a silent revolution that is changing the way we use wind energy. This revolution doesn't garner headlines, but is making wind turbines more cost-effective in more places than ever before, lessening the need for new transmission lines, obviating the need for storage, and fueling rapid growth.
Gipe refutes many common myths surrounding wind energy and argues persuasively that wind turbines are productive, effective, and environmentally sound. Gipe argues that wind energy is too important to be left to electric utilities and their subsidiaries alone. Wind energy is also for the rest of us, he says. It is our resource. We can develop it and we can own it—ourselves.

Human Heart, Cosmic Heart
By Thomas Cowan
Thomas Cowan was a 20-year-old Duke grad—bright, skeptical, and already disillusioned with industrial capitalism—when he joined the Peace Corps in the mid-1970s for a two-year tour in Swaziland. There, he encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner and Weston A. Price—two men whose ideas would fascinate and challenge him for decades to come.
Both drawn to the art of healing and repelled by the way medicine was—and continues to be—practiced in the United States, Cowan returned from Swaziland, went to medical school, and established a practice in New Hampshire and, later, San Francisco. For years, as he raised his three children, suffered the setback of divorce, and struggled with a heart condition, he remained intrigued by the work of Price and Steiner and, in particular, with Steiner's provocative claim that the heart is not a pump. Determined to practice medicine in a way that promoted healing rather than compounded ailments, Cowan dedicated himself to understanding whether Steiner's claim could possibly be true. And if Steiner was correct, what, then, is the heart? What is its true role in the human body?
In this deeply personal, rigorous, and riveting account, Dr. Cowan offers up a daring claim: Not only was Steiner correct that the heart is not a pump, but our understanding of heart disease—with its origins in the blood vessels—is completely wrong. And this gross misunderstanding, with its attendant medications and risky surgeries, is the reason heart disease remains the most common cause of death worldwide.
In Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, Dr. Thomas Cowan presents a new way of understanding the body's most central organ. He offers a new look at what it means to be human and how we can best care for ourselves—and one another.
Zen and the Art of Permaculture Design
By Stefan Geyer
How to use permaculture design as a catalyst for a shift of perception about our place in the world
Do you wish to creatively engage with the wickedly complex problems of today, while not adding to the mess? Do you want to consciously act with clarity and grace whilst living on a thriving planet? Do you want a fair society, where people care for each other, their children and grandchildren?
Stefan Geyer shows how permaculture, infused by insights from the Zen tradition, can be a modern means to liberation from our society's present woes. Permaculture is a new regenerative culture, and permaculture design is the method to get there, offering emancipation and emboldening us to think in joyfully expansive, daringly experimental, and creatively caring new ways. Each page of this pocket-sized book of quiet lightning and gentle earthquakes presents a permaculture idea or theme as a catalyst for creative thought. Together they articulate a process of awakening that can help us become intimately aware of how nature works. As we become more sensitive to our place within the natural world, we see our own nature within it.
The Minimalist Gardener
By Patrick Whitefield
Low input, year-round "no-dig" gardening that provides your kitchen with fresh healthy food, without breaking your back
Written by an acknowledged expert, this friendly guide will help you grow food in whatever space you have – large or small, rural or urban – with minimal purchased inputs, and maximum satisfaction.
This is the first in a collection of Patrick Whitefield's pioneering writings, celebrating his life. It explores a cutting edge of permaculture gardening that is eminently practical and visionary all at the same time. Patrick describes an evolving system that is totally chemical free, requiring little input from outside the garden gate. His minimalist approach uses techniques such as no-dig, raised beds, perennial vegetables and self-seeding salads as ground cover, and mulching when appropriate. This minimizes garden maintenance whilst growing an abundance of produce year round. Patrick describes how to select plants based on what you like to eat and how to combine them in polycultures that confound would-be pests. He mixes annual hybrids, heritage varieties and perennial vegetables and has a pragmatic approach to selecting seeds and seed saving. There are also tips on fruit growing, from berries to fruit trees, including how to choose rootstocks and varieties.
Back in Control
By David Hanscom
Seattle spinal surgeon Dr. David Hanscom focuses on an aspect of chronic pain that the medical world has largely overlooked: you must calm your nervous system in order to get better. More than any other book about pain, Back in Control reveals how to quiet a turbocharged central nervous system and make a full recovery, with or without surgery. Dr. Hanscom shares the story of his own journey out of chronic pain and offers a treatment paradigm that has evolved from his personal experience, as well what he has learned from his patients, hundreds of whom have moved beyond managing pain to becoming pain free. This book will enable those suffering from chronic pain to regain control of their care and life.
This revised 2nd edition reflects the last few years of neuroscience research. It is becoming increasingly clear that the brain processes mental and physical pain in a similar manner. As anxiety drops, pain will diminish. Dr. Hanscom has observed that these principles apply to any chronic pain condition.
Black Trumpet
By Evan Mallett
Featuring more than 250 innovative recipes that respect and transcend regional food traditions.
The basis of great cooking has always been the creative use of fresh, seasonal ingredients – whether the kitchen is at home or in a high-end restaurant.
At the renowned Black Trumpet restaurant, located in the historic seacoast city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Chef Evan Mallett and his staff reflect the constantly changing seasons of New England, celebrating the unique flavors and traditions of fished, farmed, and foraged foods in their ever-changing menus that rotate roughly every six weeks throughout the course of the year.
From deep winter's comfort dishes to the first run of maple syrup during Mud Season; from the first flush of greens in early spring to the embarrassment of high summer's bounty and fall's final harvest—Evan Mallett offers more than 250 innovative recipes that draw not only on classic regional foodways, but on the author's personal experiences with Mexican, Mediterranean, and other classic world cuisines. Recipes include inspired and delicious dishes such as:
Black Trumpet not only tells the story of a great restaurant—how the Black Trumpet became nationally famous as a model for local food sourcing and community involvement—but it also traces the growth and evolution of the local food movement. In some ways, it can be viewed as a how-to manual for building a community around good food, featuring not only creative and delicious recipes, but autobiographical vignettes, and sidebars containing technical how-to information, profiles, anecdotes, and essays.
In this cookbook, the trappings of technology are eschewed, and the bare-bones essentials of extracting flavor and combining both commonplace and unusual ingredients take center stage. Genuine flavor and hospitality are what set Black Trumpet apart, and this cookbook will reflect those special qualities and inspire a new generation of adventurous American cooks.
Farm to Table
By Darryl Benjamin and Lyndon Virkler
With information on purchasing, marketing, and employing farm-to-table principles in restaurants, schools, hospitals, and other institutions
Nearly a century ago, the idea of "local food" would have seemed perplexing, since virtually all food was local. Food for daily consumption—fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, and dairy products—was grown at home or sourced from local farms. Today, most of the food consumed in the United States and, increasingly, around the globe, is sourced from industrial farms and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), which power a food system rife with environmental, economic, and health-related problems.
The tide, however, is slowly but steadily turning back in what has been broadly termed the "farm-to-table" movement. In Farm to Table, Darryl Benjamin and Chef Lyndon Virkler explore how the farm-to-table philosophy is pushing back modern, industrialized food production and moving beyond isolated "locavore" movements into a broad and far-reaching coalition of farmers, chefs, consumers, policy advocates, teachers, institutional buyers, and many more all working to restore healthful, sustainable, and affordable food for everyone.
Divided into two distinct but complementary halves, "Farm" and "Table," Farm to Table first examines the roots of our contemporary industrial food system, from the technological advances that presaged the "Green Revolution" to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz's infamous dictum to farmers to "Get big or get out" in the 1970s. Readers will explore the many threats to ecology and human health that our corporatized food system poses, but also the many alternatives—from permaculture to rotation-intensive grazing—that small farmers are now adopting to meet growing consumer demand. The second half of the book is dedicated to illuminating best practices and strategies for schools, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and other business and institutions to partner with local farmers and food producers, from purchasing to marketing.
No longer restricted to the elite segments of society, the farm-to-table movement now reaches a wide spectrum of Americans from all economic strata and in a number of settings, from hospital and office cafeterias, to elementary schools and fast-casual restaurants. Farm to Table is a one-of-a-kind resource on how to integrate sustainable principles into each of these settings and facilitate intelligent, healthful food choices at every juncture as our food system evolves. While borrowing from the best ideas of the past, the lessons herein are designed to help contribute to a healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable tomorrow.
Born on Third Base
By Chuck Collins
As inequality grabs headlines, steals the show in presidential debates, and drives deep divides between the haves and have nots in America, class war brews. On one side, the wealthy wield power and advantage, wittingly or not, to keep the system operating in their favor—all while retreating into enclaves that separate them further and further from the poor and working class. On the other side, those who find it increasingly difficult to keep up or get ahead lash out—waging a rhetorical war against the rich and letting anger and resentment, however justifiable, keep us from seeing new potential solutions.
But can we suspend both class wars long enough to consider a new way forward? Is it really good for anyone that most of society's wealth is pooling at the very top of the wealth ladder? Does anyone, including the one percent, really want to live in a society plagued by economic apartheid?
It is time to think differently, says longtime inequality expert and activist Chuck Collins. Born into the one percent, Collins gave away his inheritance at 26 and spent the next three decades mobilizing against inequality. He uses his perspective from both sides of the divide to deliver a new narrative.
Collins calls for a ceasefire and invites the wealthy to come back home, investing themselves and their wealth in struggling communities. And he asks the non-wealthy to build alliances with the one percent and others at the top of the wealth ladder.
Stories told along the way explore the roots of advantage, show how taxpayers subsidize the wealthy, and reveal how charity, used incorrectly, can actually reinforce extreme inequality. Readers meet pioneers who are crossing the divide to work together in new ways, including residents in the author's own Boston-area neighborhood who have launched some of the most interesting community transition efforts in the nation.
In the end, Collins's national and local solutions not only challenge inequality but also respond to climate change and offer an unexpected, fresh take on one of our most intransigent problems.
How on Earth
By Jennifer Hinton and Donnie Maclurcan
Something incredible is happening within our economy. Beyond the failures of state socialism and the excesses of corporate capitalism, a realistic alternative is emerging. In How on Earth, Donnie Maclurcan and Jennifer Hinton chart the rise of businesses that place purpose ahead of profit, and outline how the advantages these businesses hold in the marketplace pave the way to an entirely different economic system, focused on addressing human need, not greed.
At the heart of this monumental transition lies the changing nature of not-for-profit (NFP) organizations. Contrary to popular notions of non-profit inefficiency, unaccountability, and dependence on donors, the 21st century NFP is proving highly efficient, transparent, and increasingly self-funded.
Distinguishing themselves from B corps and ethical/green shareholder companies by always reinvesting rather than privatizing profits, NFP enterprises around the world are proliferating and succeeding in areas as diverse as construction, manufacturing, software development, food catering, and retail. In a process described by Jeremy Rifkin as 'the eclipse of capitalism', many NFP enterprises (including various forms of cooperatives, community interest companies, government-owned corporations, and social businesses) are now outperforming their for-profit counterparts, driven by marked advantages in terms of finance, human resources, productivity, innovation, governance, environmental outcomes, value creation and market reputation. Simultaneously, NFP enterprises are increasingly curbing the excesses that have traditionally been associated with the charitable sector.
Moving beyond the market/state dichotomy, the NFP model finally aligns our economy with the social values that modern science and ancient wisdom agree are central to our shared prosperity. With wealth recirculating through a purpose-driven system, the emerging NFP world economy is better able to serve people and planet, while retaining market dynamics and requiring less taxation and government bureaucracy in the process.
A groundbreaking contribution to economic theory, How on Earth presents the world's first practical blueprint for the transition to a fairer, thriving economy that offers quality of life for all while respecting our ecological limits.
The Independent Farmstead
By Beth Dougherty and Shawn Dougherty
With in-depth information on electric fencing, watering, and husbandry for ruminants, poultry, and pigs, plus butchering, dairying, and more
"If we work hard, we sleep well."
Twenty years ago, when authors Shawn and Beth Dougherty purchased the land they would come to name the Sow's Ear, the state of Ohio designated it "not suitable for agriculture." Today, their family raises and grows 90% of their own food.
Such self-sufficiency is largely the result of basing their farming practices around intensive pasture management. Pioneered by such luminaries as Allan Savory, Greg Judy, and Joel Salatin, the tenets of holistic grazing—employed mostly by larger-scale commercial operations—have been adapted by the Doughertys to fit their family's needs. In The Independent Farmstead, The Sow's Ear model for regenerating the land and growing food—"the best you ever tasted"—is elucidated for others to use and build upon.
In witty and welcoming style, The Independent Farmstead covers everything from choosing a species of ruminant and incorporating it into a grass-based system to innovative electric fencing and watering systems, to what to do with all of the milk, meat, and, yes, manure that the self-sustaining farm produces. Within these pages, the Doughertys discuss how to:
As the Doughertys write, more and more people today are feeling "the desire for clean, affordable food, unmodified, unprocessed, and unmedicated and the security of local food sourcing for ourselves and our children." The Independent Farmstead is a must-have resource for those who count themselves as part of this movement: both new and prospective farmers and homesteaders, and those who are interested in switching to grass-based systems. Best of all it's the kind of rare how-to book that the authors themselves view not as a compendium of one-size-fits-all instructions but as "the beginning of a conversation," one that is utterly informative, sincere, and inspiring.
Surviving the Future
By David Fleming and Shaun Chamberlin
Surviving the Future is a story drawn from the fertile ground of the late David Fleming's extraordinary Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It. That hardback consists of four hundred and seventy-two interlinked dictionary entries, inviting readers to choose their own path through its radical vision.
Recognizing that Lean Logic's sheer size and unusual structure can be daunting, Fleming's long-time collaborator Shaun Chamberlin has selected and edited one of these potential narratives to create Surviving the Future. The content, rare insights, and uniquely enjoyably writing style remain Fleming's, but are presented here at a more accessible paperback-length and in conventional read-it-front-to-back format.
The subtitle—Culture, Carnival and Capital in the Aftermath of the Market Economy—hints at Fleming's vision. He believed that the market economy will not survive its inherent flaws beyond the early decades of this century, and that its failure will bring great challenges, but he did not dwell on this: "We know what we need to do. We need to build the sequel, to draw on inspiration which has lain dormant, like the seed beneath the snow."
Surviving the Future lays out a compelling and powerfully different new economics for a post-growth world. One that relies not on taut competitiveness and eternally increasing productivity—"putting the grim into reality"—but on the play, humor, conversation, and reciprocal obligations of a rich culture. Building on a remarkable breadth of intellectual and cultural heritage—from Keynes to Kumar, Homer to Huxley, Mumford to MacIntyre, Scruton to Shiva, Shakespeare to Schumacher—Fleming describes a world in which, as he says, "there will be time for music."
This is the world that many of us want to live in, yet we are told it is idealistic and unrealistic. With an evident mastery of both economic theory and historical precedent, Fleming shows that it is not only desirable, but actually the only system with a realistic claim to longevity. With friendliness, humor, and charm, Surviving the Future plucks this vision out of our daydreams and shows us how to make it real.
Lean Logic
By David Fleming
Lean Logic is David Fleming's masterpiece, the product of more than thirty years' work and a testament to the creative brilliance of one of Britain's most important intellectuals.
A dictionary unlike any other, it leads readers through Fleming's stimulating exploration of fields as diverse as culture, history, science, art, logic, ethics, myth, economics, and anthropology, being made up of four hundred and seventy-two engaging essay-entries covering topics such as Boredom, Community, Debt, Growth, Harmless Lunatics, Land, Lean Thinking, Nanotechnology, Play, Religion, Spirit, Trust, and Utopia.
The threads running through every entry are Fleming's deft and original analysis of how our present market-based economy is destroying the very foundations—ecological, economic, and cultural— on which it depends, and his core focus: a compelling, grounded vision for a cohesive society that might weather the consequences. A society that provides a satisfying, culturally-rich context for lives well lived, in an economy not reliant on the impossible promise of eternal economic growth. A society worth living in. Worth fighting for. Worth contributing to.
The beauty of the dictionary format is that it allows Fleming to draw connections without detracting from his in-depth exploration of each topic. Each entry carries intriguing links to other entries, inviting the enchanted reader to break free of the imposed order of a conventional book, starting where she will and following the links in the order of her choosing. In combination with Fleming's refreshing writing style and good-natured humor, it also creates a book perfectly suited to dipping in and out.
Recognizing that Lean Logic's sheer size and unusual structure can be daunting, Fleming's long-time collaborator Shaun Chamberlin has selected and edited one of these potential narratives to create Surviving the Future: Culture, Carnival and Capital in the Aftermath of the Market Economy. The content, rare insights, and uniquely enjoyably writing style remain Fleming's, but are presented here at a more accessible paperback-length and in conventional read-it-front-to-back format.
The decades Fleming spent honing his life's work are evident in the lightness and mastery with which Lean Logic draws on an incredible wealth of cultural and historical learning—from Whitman to Whitefield, Dickens to Daly, Kropotkin to Kafka, Keats to Kuhn, Oakeshott to Ostrom, Jung to Jensen, Machiavelli to Mumford, Mauss to Mandelbrot, Leopold to Lakatos, Polanyi to Putnam, Nietzsche to Næss, Keynes to Kumar, Scruton to Shiva, Thoreau to Toynbee, Rabelais to Rogers, Shakespeare to Schumacher, Locke to Lovelock, Homer to Homer-Dixon—in demonstrating that many of the principles it commends have a track-record of success long pre-dating our current society.
Fleming acknowledges, with honesty, the challenges ahead, but rather than inducing despair, Lean Logic is rare in its ability to inspire optimism in the creativity and intelligence of humans to nurse our ecology back to health; to rediscover the importance of place and play, of reciprocity and resilience, and of community and culture.
Parachuting Cats into Borneo
By Axel Klimek and Alan AtKisson
A toolkit of proven strategies and practices for building capacity and creating transformation
Recent years have seen a proliferation of information on how to make change—in business, in social and environmental movements, and on a more personal scale. But, even with all this attention, two out of three change efforts fail to achieve their desired result. How can you make your own effort buck this trend?
In Parachuting Cats into Borneo, change-management experts Axel Klimek and Alan AtKisson offer crisp, concise, and targeted advice for success. They expose the most significant impediments—helping readers recognize their habitual patterns of thinking and perceiving a situation, critique their own beliefs regarding change, and then move beyond these unhelpful patterns using improved systems thinking.
Named after a classic tale of unintended consequences, Parachuting Cats into Borneo delivers tools that help leaders and others keep their change initiatives on track. The advice imparted will help you move away from agonizing over immediate problems toward stoking action, identifying collaborators, focusing at the right level for your cause, and aiding others in pursuing their change.
Klimek and AtKisson draw from their decades of helping corporations, networks, governments, and NGOs reach their change goals to demonstrate how to use system-based change tools to their maximum advantage.
A closing section is devoted to change making in the realm of sustainability, where complexity abounds but the right tools, used well, can help us tackle some of the most significant challenges of our time.
The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook
By Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly
A Medicine Through Food™ Guide
Drugs that claim to prevent or redress bone loss can actually cause bones to crumble and break. Calcium supplements, fortified processed food, and pasteurized dairy don't work because the calcium in them doesn't reach our bones. It's a grim picture, but The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook can help. Coauthors Dr. Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly, daughter and mother, have a firm grasp on the disciplines concerned with bone health, including nutrient absorption and bone metabolism. They offer readers a natural, effective, and safe approach to conserving bone mass and building healthy bones by creating a personalized nutrition plan that includes eating the right foods in the right combinations.
The authors' quest for a natural, effective, safe way to prevent and treat bone loss began after 20 years of frustration, during which Helen tried supplements and several popular dietary approaches to arrest bone loss, only to see her bones continue to deteriorate year by year. Drawing on her knowledge of metabolic science and a rigorous examination of current research, Laura created a unique diet-based approach to bone health that allowed Helen's body to absorb the nutrients that are naturally present in whole foods. Helen has been following her personal nutrition plan for four years and has stopped her bone loss completely—without taking any pharmaceuticals.
Part One of the book begins with a primer on bone metabolism, including the roles of individual vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that can help build strong bones. Building on this knowledge and more, the authors provide a framework and worksheets so readers can use the recipes and work with their doctors to create their personal nutrition plan for skeletal health.
The book includes more than 100 bone-health recipes ranging from sauces and small plates to soups, salads, and main dishes, drinks and desserts. The authors also explain how to make staple ingredients such as ghee and bone health vinegar and how to grow shiitake mushrooms—an important source of vitamin D. Readers can count on their personal nutrition plans and the Kellys' recipes to provide food that helps calcium reach, and potentially strengthen, their bones.
The Art and Science of Grazing
By Sarah Flack
New techniques for managing grazing animals are producing dramatic results that empower farmers to create grazing systems that are truly effective at meeting their farm and quality-of-life goals.
In this comprehensive book, nationally known grazing consultant Sarah Flack builds on a solid foundation of the key principles of grazing management to help farmers design and manage successful grazing systems.
Farmers and their farms will benefit greatly from Flack's message that, in partnership with their animals, they can create profound change in pasture quality and productivity and the performance of the livestock. The book's unique approach presents information first from the perspective of pasture plants, and then from the livestock perspective—helping farmers understand both plant and animal needs before setting up a grazing system.
Flack's lifelong experience with grazing began when her family employed mob grazing techniques on the family farm to transform a brushy, overgrown series of fields into high-quality pasture. She has pursued graduate studies on pasture management at the University of Vermont, and she has successfully helped many farmers create positive change in their pastures, soils, livestock, finances, and farm-family quality of life.
The Art and Science of Grazing is an essential guide for ruminant farmers who want to create grazing systems that meet the needs of their livestock, pasture plants, soils, and the larger ecosystem. The book covers all the practical details that are critical for sustained success, including:
Flack includes descriptions of real grazing systems working well on dairy, beef, goat, and sheep farms in different regions of North America. The book covers pasture requirements specific to organic farming but will be of use to both organic and non-organic farms.
The End of Stationarity
By Mark Schapiro
Scientists have devised a new term to explain the turmoil caused by climate change: the end of stationarity. It means that our baselines for rainfall, water flow, temperature, and extreme weather are no longer relevant—that making predictions based on past experience is no longer possible. But climate change has upended baselines in the financial world, too, disrupting the global economy in ways that are just becoming clear, leaving us unable to assess risk, and causing us to fundamentally re-think economic priorities and existing business models.
At the heart of that financial unrest is the role of carbon, and as the world moves toward making more and more polluters pay to emit it, a financial mystery unfolds: What are the costs? Who has the responsibility to pay for them? Who do you pay? How do you pay? And how will those costs ripple through the economy?
These are the questions veteran journalist Mark Schapiro attempts to answer as he illuminates the struggle to pinpoint carbon's true costs and allocate them fairly—all while bumping up against the vagaries of the free market, the lobbying power of corporations, the political maneuverings of countries, and the tolerance of everyday consumers buying a cup of coffee, a tank of gas, or an airplane ticket.
Along the way, Schapiro tracks the cost of carbon through the drought-ridden farmland of California, the jungles of Brazil, the world's greatest manufacturing center in China, the carbon-trading center of Europe, and the high-tech crime world that carbon markets have inspired. He even tracks the cost of carbon through the skies themselves, where efforts to put a price tag on the carbon left by airplanes in the no-man's land of the atmosphere created what amounted to a quiet but powerful global trade war.
The End of Stationarity deftly depicts the wild, new carbon economy, and shows us how nations, emerging and developed, teeter on its brink. Originally published in hardcover as Carbon Shock, the book is updated throughout and includes a new afterword, based on the Paris climate talks.

Hummingbird guilt while on summer vacation
When my wife and I left on vacation July 21, I felt pangs of guilt. I had been hosting a growing number of ruby-throated hummingbirds at my feeders since early May.
Books for the rest of summer
Relaxing in a hammock with a good book is a great way to relax on a warm summer afternoon. Here are a few titles that have recently caught my eye.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act:

What GAO Found
Most of the largest issuers of health coverage from 2012 participated in the exchanges that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) required be established in all states in 2014. Previously, in 2012, while a large number of issuers participated in state individual and small-group markets, a small number of these participating issuers held a majority of the market share in terms of enrollment. In 2014, for both those exchanges serving the individual market and those serving the small-group market, in more than two-thirds of states the issuer with the largest share of the 2012 market participated in the 2014 exchange. In addition, in most states, other larger issuers with a 5 percent or more share of the 2012 market participated in the 2014 exchanges. Most smaller issuers with less than 5 percent of the 2012 market did not participate in the 2014 exchanges, although in many states more than one of these smaller issuers did participate. In addition, some issuers that participated in a 2014 individual or small-business exchange had not offered coverage in the respective 2012 market, although they may have offered coverage in other markets within the same state. In most states, for 2014, the issuers participating in the exchanges represented a mix of larger issuers, smaller issuers, and issuers new to that market.

Multiple issuers participated in nearly all 2014 exchanges and generally offered more health plans than the minimum of two required by PPACA. Overall, the number of participating issuers varied widely between states, from 1 to 17 issuers in the individual exchanges and from 1 to 13 issuers in the small-business exchanges. However, almost all exchanges—49 individual and 45 small-business—had more than one issuer participating. More than half of participating issuers offered coverage through both the individual and small-business exchange in that state, although more issuers participated in the individual exchanges than in the small-business exchanges. Issuers varied substantially in the number of plans they offered; 257 of the 291 issuers in the individual exchanges, and 183 of the 207 issuers in the small-business exchanges, offered more than the minimum number of plans required by PPACA in all the rating areas in which they offered coverage. For both the individual and small-business exchanges, collectively, issuers in the 25 most populous states tended to offer a higher than average number of plans, while those in less populous states were less likely to do so.
GAO received technical comments on a draft of this report from the Department of Health and Human Services and incorporated them as appropriate.
Why GAO Did This Study
PPACA required by January 1, 2014, the establishment in each state of health insurance exchanges—marketplaces where eligible individuals and small businesses can compare and select among insurance plans. Issuer participation, including the number of plans these issuers offer, is a key factor in the extent of consumer choice offered by the exchanges.
GAO was asked to examine the number and types of issuers participating in both the individual and small-business exchanges beginning in 2014, as well as how this compared with issuer participation in the individual and small-group markets prior to the exchanges. In this report, GAO describes (1) the extent to which issuers that previously offered health plans in the individual and small-group markets participated in the exchanges in 2014, and (2) the issuers that participated in 2014 exchanges and the health plans they offered.
GAO analyzed data obtained from CMS and states on the health plans offered by issuers that participated in states' exchanges in 2014. GAO also analyzed CMS data on issuers' participation and market share in the 2012 individual and small-group markets, the most recently available national market-wide data. GAO reviewed relevant laws and regulations and interviewed CMS officials to identify federal requirements related to exchange participation. GAO obtained information on state participation requirements from applicable states.

We're trying to add a custom menu widget to the sidebar of a portfolio page, and it seems as though the template is trying to apply the megamenu styles to it.
This CSS obviously doesn't work in the side bar as it's far too wide.
How can we change the template so that we can customise the CSS styles for the custom menu widget in the sidebar only?

Hehe, I think it definitely works. It kinda shows a Cannes Lions is the most prestigious prize one can win in an advertising career.
It also shows that you're a clown for pointing out such an obvious consideration
Great ads btw.
It's not about importance, it's about achievement in your life. Breathing is more important than having a child (cause you'd die without breathing) but that doesn't mean it's more satisfying.
I got a good laugh out of these. But the copy could be better.

FULL TIME. That's it, Swansea battle back to earn a deserved point. Thanks for your views today, stay with us for reaction.
This is end-to-end as both teams try to win. Reading win a corner on the left. They take and Robson-Kanu heads over from eight yards in the centre.
Swansea break forward and feed the ball to De Guzman who shoots just wide of the post from 15 yards on the right.
Reading come again and ALF passes to Kebe 12 yards out on the right who shoots just wide of Vorm's right post.
Swansea press again and Chico's shot is blocked. Ki then tries to run at goal but Shorey tackles and puts the ball out for a throw in 15 yards out on the right.
Hernandez's volley from eight yards on the right and hits Shorey's right hand but the ref fails to give the penalty. It was stonewall and Swansea will feel robbed.
ALF crosses from 20 yards on the right but Williams heads away for a Reading throw in 25 yards out on the left.
GOAL - ROUTLEDGE!!!! A fantastic goal from Routledge. Ki wins the ball off Cummings near the halfway line on the left and feeds the ball to Routledge who plays a one-two with Moore before slotting home from 12 yards. Wow!!!
Shorey has to put the ball out for a Swansea corner on the right. They take but Williams heads out for a goal kick.
Reading take the free-kick and feed the ball to Moore who tries an effort from 16 yards on the left and McCarthy is there again to save for a corner on the right.
GOAL - MICHU!!!! Swansea take the free-kick short and Routledge's cross from the right into te box takes a deflection into the path of Michu at the far post and he heads home from close range. Game on!!!
Swansea come again and Ki creates a yard of space for himself before blasting well over from 25 yards to the left of goal.
Swansea play a good passing move forward before Davies crosses from the left into the box but no one is there and Reading clear.
Reading take the corner on the left and win another on the right. Davies takes deep and Williams heads at goal from six yards at the far post but McCarthy is there to push the ball away for another corner on the left.
Ki makes a great run and cuts inside from the right before shooting at goal and it takes a slight deflection and McCarthy again saves onto the post for a corner on the left.
Reading press and McAnuff crosses into the box from 20 yards on the right but Williams heads away in the box.
Shorey puts the free-kick into the box but Chico clears in the box. Tabb is then booked for catching Michu midway in the Swansea half on the left.
Ki takes the corner and Chico wins a throw in ten yards out on the right. Swansea take it short and win another in a similar position.
Hunt wins a free-kick 40 yards out on the right. Cummings takes it and Gorkss heads on but the ball rolls out for a goal kick, although Kebe thought it was a corner on the right.
Moore is again denied by the diving McCarthy. Routledge crosses from 20 yards on the left and Moore heads at goal from eight yards in the centre but McCarthy dives well to his left and pushes the ball onto the post and reading clear.
Swansea take the throw in and Michu tries to feed the ball through to Moore in the box but Gorkss intercepts and clears.
Swansea take the free-kick and keep good possession before Rangle wins a throw in 22 yards out on the left.
Moore is released into the box who tries an effort from ten yards but McCarthy is quickly off his line and saves well with his right foot and Kebe clears the loose ball.
Steve has been back in touch to say: 'Sadly, it is so predictable. The word has gone around all premiership managers: let Swansea have the ball and wait...they will provide you with the chances to beat them. In the meantime get as many people behind the ball as possible - it's just too simple. We can now see how good Caulker was last season!'
Fancy a bet? Sky Bet now go 12/1 for a home win, 5/1 for the draw and 1/5 for a Reading victory. If Swansea get the first goal, they could get back in this as they had the lion's share of possession but failed to convert.
Routledge tries to get around Cummings on the left flank at the half way line and goes to ground but the ref waves play on.
GOAL - HUNT!!! McAnuff tries an effort from 22 yards out which takes a delfection off Chico and balloons up and Hunt volleys home from six yards! Great technique!
Williams and Pogrebnyak tussle for the ball in the Swansea box and the ref gives it the Swansea defender's way. There is a bit of afters and the ref has a word with them both.
Kebe wins a throw in 20 yards out on the right. they take to Pogrebnyak in the right corner who puts the ball into the area but Karacan's header from ten yards is straight at Vorm who gathers.
Swansea press and Britton wins a free-kick 30 yards out in the centre. They take it short and keep possession before Graham tries to feed the ball to Michu in the box but it is over hit and runs through to McCarthy to gather.
GOAL - POGREBNYAK!!!! Reading score against the run of play. McAnuff passes from 35 yards into the left side of the box who shoots on the half turn from 15 yards and it slips under Vorm and into the net. Bad goalkeeper mistake!
Swansea press and Routledge and Dyer play a one-two before Routledge tries a shot but it hits Mariappa and Michu blasts the loose ball over from 15 yards. There are calls for a pen - that the ball hits Mariappa's arm - but the ref waves play on. Replays show it does hit his arm.
Shorey takes the free-kick into the box but Hunt is penalised for holding and it is a Swansea free-kick.
Ki takes the free-kick deep to Williams at the far post who heads wide from six yards under pressure.
Pogrebnyak crosses from the left towards Hunt but Chico intercepts and the Swans again hit Reading on the counter-attack, with Ki winning a corner on the left.
Reading win a throw in 35 yards out on the right. Cummings takes but Kebe loses the ball and the Swans surge forward with Michu releasing Rouledge into the left side of the box who tries an effort from 12 yards but McCarthy saves diving to his right for a throw in ten yards out on the left.
Ki punts the free-kick into the far post but Graham loses sight of the ball in the sun and it goes harmlessly out for a goal kick.
Mariappa is booked for fouling Michu as he tries to surge forward. It is a Swansea free-kick 30 yards out to the left of goal.
Routledge presses down the left flank and wins a throw in 12 yards out. They take and Michu tries to flick the ball on for Graham in the centre but it runs through to McCarthy to clear.
Routledge crosses into the centre from the left edge of the box who heads straight at the keeper from seven yards out and McCarthy tips it over for a corner on the left.
FIRST VIEW - Steve Jones says: 'I find it hard to see how Swansea can flourish this season; our hope is that others will do worse. Absolutely toothless up front!' Have some hope Steve!
Ki takes the free-kick and Williams gets in front of Shorey at the far post but heads wide from six yards out. Bad miss.
The Swans take the corner short and win a throw in ten yards out on the left. They take and feed the ball to Dyer on the right who wins a free-kick off Tabb 18 yards out.
Willimas releases Routledge into the left corner but Kebe tracks over and concedes a corner on the left.
Swansea keep good possession before Ki tries to feed the ball into the right side of the box for Dyer to run onto but it is over hit and McCarthy gathers.
Pogrebnyak tries to run onto a long ball into the right side of the box but Davies shepherds the ball out for a goal kick.
Fancy a bet? Sky Bet go 10/11 for a home win, 5/2 for the draw and 3/1 for a Reading victory. I reckon Swansea will prevail but Reading will put up a fight, so a 2-1 success to the Swans which pays a handsome 15/2! What are your views / predictions? Send them to email@example.com
Teams - Reading: McCarthy, Shorey, Mariappa, Gorkss, Cummings, McAnuff, Karacan, Tabb, Kebe, Pogrebnyak, Hunt. Subs: Stuart Taylor, Pearce, Le Fondre, McCleary, Robson-Kanu, Guthrie, Roberts.
Teams - Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies, Dyer, Britton, Michu, Ki, Routledge, Graham. Subs: Tremmel, Tate, Hernandez, Shechter, Moore, de Guzman, Tiendalli.
Teams - Swansea boss Michael Laudrup has made one change to his starting line-up for this afternoon's clash. The sole adjustment from last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Stoke sees Wayne Routledge come into the Swans side for the benched Pablo Hernandez, with skipper Ashley Williams - this week named as the new Wales captain - passed fit to continue in defence. There is also only one alteration to the Royals' first XI from their 2-2 draw with Newcastle as Jay Tabb replaces the injured Mikele Leigertwood.
