Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 1, 2nd Edition

Masticans, an ancient bacterial intelligence, unaccountably seek to exterminate humankind. Persistently, for a billion years, Mastix has extinguished hordes of planetary systems where dwell bilateral lifeforms. But Mastix endures subtle opposition. The Enigmat dogs Mastican omnicides. A lone Mastican renegade stalls Earth's demolition, after it recognizes Enigmat affection for the Ravenhill clan. That Vancouver Island indigenous family worships Enigmat as Raven, their Great Spirit. Mastix blunders, suffering catastrophic self-injury. So, a door creaks open for survival. Will the Ravenhills embrace a radical defense to Mastican bilateral genocide? Will any humans survive Mastican malevolence? From within the warm co-mentation of RavenPod, the Ravenhills share the tale of their coastal people, their Trickster god, Daniel's happy bigamy and its end, and their turncoat alien friend, Odal.

Cull: Epitomes offers its reader, in a single volume, the essence of seventy-seven core philosophical and religious works. Each presents a thinker without knowledge of which one can scarcely begin to mull ethical and political questions. These vignettes span religious thought from the Indus valley to Buber's mysticism, politics from Greece to Harvard, and morality from the sacral smokes of the Sinai desert to E. O. Wilson's eusocial ants. These epitomes capture the texture, if not the entire fabric, of some of history's finest minds, and some painfully coarse ones as well. If time were abundant, you might read the originals yourself. Time, for most of us, is anything but abundant.
