These are stories, essays, and other uncategorized strings of alpha-numeric characters about kids. They were written by a dad who finds parenting might be hopeless but never serious. Since he understands how little free time parents have, each is just a tiny read-it-in-a-minute dose of humor.

. . .And now for something completely different. Reaching through time and dimensions from a place no longer with technology, electricity or modern conveniences The Zombie Gardener teaches us some simple down to earth methods on how to create, maintain and preserve a post-apocalyptic garden. The series will take you from seed to harvest using Old World methods on crops that this off-grid world could not survive without. Interwoven with stories from a time yet to come, The Zombie Gardener also includes survival tips, prepping hacks and even recipes from a future that someday could be ours.In book one The Zombie Gardener teaches us how to grow what he feels are some basic crops every garden should have in order to create a sustainable life after the world shuts down. From harvesting the simple potato, to seeding a carrot for future crops, he walks us through with step-by-step instructions to increase our success of having enough food stocks to get through the winter.

It was early in the 1970's when I rode the Jundah Plains, a small town but a vast countryside. I worked the Caplin Station, a large cattle station, heading towards Longreach. The mob in the yards were a wild bunch but reliable, they would always have your back. There was Noat, a name given to him whilst sharpening axes years ago, consequently a job not to be undertaken when drunk leaving him with no toes on his left foot. Then there was Terry, the Romanian with attitude (Huh! Imagine that!) As well as the Taylor brothers, Dave and Jack.

It is said that two spaceships going away from each other at very high speeds are able to see light from the other travelling at the proper speed of light because space contracts and time slows down. What would happen if these two spacecrafts passed each other? Would space suddenly invert and time change speed? How would a spaceship travelling between two light sources, such as stars, see light from both going the right speed at the same time? If, on the other hand, light travels at a broad range of speeds and we can detect only that which is going the right speed for us, then where is all the other light hiding? An electron in a cyclotron that is accelerated toward a target at close to the speed of light gains mass. If the target were racing away at a near equal speed, would that extra mass turn out to not be there? This book suggests an alternate theory to special relativity and a few experiments to prove it - or help us to learn something new.

Offers a thematic centred approach, which serves as a guide to the way in which the environment and social theory relate to one another including examinations of the works of the key theorists such as Marx, Mill, Habermas, and Adorno.

Focuses on topics in 'green' political theory and educates those anxious to be good citizens and challenges those responsible for public policy! This analysis of ecological morality, individual stewardship, and collective responsibility provides an original and seminal treatise that advances the discipline as a whole.
