Advancing Biological Farming: Practicing Mineralized, Balanced Agriculture to Improve Soil & Crops
One of the leading authorities on biological farming, Gary Zimmer is recognized for improving farming by restoring soils. Arguing that an optimally productive soil contains a balance of inorganic minerals, organic materials and living organisms, he relies less on modern improvements than on “the things we’ve learned by improving fertility in a natural, sustainable way over many years.” This book offers invaluable scientific support for committed organic farmers as well as conventional farmers who’d like to reduce chemical inputs and use natural processes to their advantage. Advancing Biological Farming updates and expands upon Gary Zimmer’s classic, The Biological Farmer. Technically precise yet written in friendly language, this book is for everyone who wants a future in biological farming.

A New Farm Language: How a sharecropper’s son discovered a world of talking plants, smart insects, and natural solutions
Joe Lewis grew up poor on a Mississippi cotton farm without electricity or running water. And yet it was a rich life — one lived in close proximity to family and nature. Because of a childhood spent around mules, chickens and insects of every kind, Lewis developed a deep and abiding curiosity for the creatures of the natural world. That led him on a trajectory to become an award-winning entomologist with the USDA-ARS at the Tifton Campus, University of Georgia.During his 40-year career, Lewis discovered how plants use “SOS” signals to recruit beneficial insects to their defense. In 2008, he was awarded the coveted Wolf Prize in Agriculture for this groundbreaking work. In his new book, Lewis looks back on his charmed childhood and distinguished scientific career while tracing our industrialized country’s increasing alienation from nature.Lewis believes we can reconnect with nature through learning to speak a new language of co-existence and cooperation — both in our agriculture and our everyday lives. This coming-of-age tale will inspire anyone interested in agriculture, talking plants and smart insects.Includes a foreword by Mark Schatzker. Preface by John Ikerd.“If I am saying nothing else here, I am saying that our disconnect from nature—her beauty, her power, her amazing ability to give— is, more than anything, the greatest threat to our survival.” — W. Joe Lewis, author”Joe Lewis’ book is not an ordinary book about a scientific discovery; it is a unique and important book about nature and the nature of life.” — John Ikerd, author of Sustainable Capitalism, A Return to Common Sense, and Small Farms are Real FarmsCopyright 2021 • Softcover • 218 pages About the AuthorDr. W. Joe Lewis is an award winning scientist, recognized worldwide for major crosscutting discoveries in the fundamental science of pest management. The models for his studies have been behavioral and chemical interactions of parasitoids, insect herbivores, and plants, along with ecosystem principles. The impact of his research is evidenced by over 200 refereed scientific publications and book chapters, including five papers in prestigious journals of Nature and Science, and three in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and an invitational paper in Scientific American. His work has been highlighted extensively in the popular press, including CNN Science and Technology, BBC/ Discovery Channel, Business Week, National Public Radio and BBC Wildlife, Fortune Magazine, and NBC Today Show.He grew up as a sharecropper’s son in south Mississippi, later earning a Ph.D. degree from Mississippi State University at 24 years of age. From 1967 until his retirement in 2006, he was a research entomologist in the USDA, ARS, Tifton, Georgia. with joint faculty appointments with the University of Georgia and University of Florida. He served as an elected member of the City Council and Vice-Mayor of the City of Tifton, Georgia, for 16 years. He is married (wife, Beth) with two children and four grandchildren. He currently is President and Owner, Creative Initiatives, LLC, implementing a range of research and educational programs in cooperation with school systems, local and state governments toward school improvement and sustainable communities.Capstoned by the 2008 world renowned Wolf Prize in Agriculture, personally presented in Jerusalem by Israeli President, Shimon Peres, Dr. Lewis has received numerous honors and awards.Published by Acres U.S.A.

Trapped in Time: The only hope for the future lies in the past
When an adventurer is trapped in the distant past, the only person who can save him is his own granddaughter. The problem? She hasn’t been born yet.
When John Hamman found the time machine, he didn’t know what adventures it would lead him on, and he could not predict the sequence of events that would strand him in the distant past. Can he shape a future that will one day save him from his own mistakes?
Jenny Hamman was a child when her grandfather showed her the dinosaur tooth he wore on a cord around his neck. That moment set the trajectory of her life. Jenny had no idea of the dangers she would one day face. Only she can save her grandfather. Her existence and that of everyone she loves hangs in the balance.
———————————————————-
Sneak Peak:
Jenny wasn’t sure what woke her, some instinct that death was near. Perhaps it breathed on her. Jenny opened her eyes but only saw darkness. The smell made her freeze. It was a fetid smell of rotten meat, the smell of a lion or hyena that fed on carrion.
She had covered herself with cut ferns, but she could turn her head slightly and look up where she saw patches of the stars through the trees on this moonless night. Then a shape moved above her and blotted out the stars. She heard a huffing sound, and that fetid breath blew down on her like a wind.
She drew her gun and fired up into the shadow looming above her. The flash from the muzzle of the High Power lit up the inside of its mouth like a flashbulb, as she fired the gun down its throat. All she saw was teeth. Jenny screamed, the sound lost as she pulled the trigger over and over, emptying the magazine of the gun as fast as she could. She pulled her arm back as the jaws snapped shut. In the flashes she saw a great head pull back. She kept firing, and then the slide locked back on the empty magazine.
She was engulfed in a darkness more complete than she had ever known, her night vision ruined. That void was filled with a roar. It was more than a sound. It surrounded her and shook her very core. Blindly, she grabbed for the spear that laid beside her as she slept, and crawled away through the ferns that covered the ground. Through the ringing in her ears, she heard a crashing behind her as the great head smashed through the brush where she had been, its jaws closing on her resting place. Jenny made it to her feet and took off running. She might have been safe if it hadn’t been for the tree. She hit it straight on at full speed, and all she remembered was pain.
Laying on her back, she had her spear and the empty gun was still in her hand. She felt it in the ground. It shook beneath her. The dinosaur was coming.

A Growers Guide for Balancing Soils: A Practical Guide to Interpreting Soil Tests
Whether you’re a serious home gardener or a full-time farmer, A Growers Guide for Balancing Soils will help you expand your understanding of the science behind plant nutrition. It all starts with the soil, but, as you’ll read, just spreading compost and hoping for the best isn’t a strategy for success.Drawing on 40 years of experience using the Albrecht philosophy of balancing soils, William McKibben will walk you through a data-driven, time-tested process that starts with soil analysis, but doesn’t stop there. Productive soil that has the right balance of bio-available minerals and maximizes crop production and quality is the goal, and McKibben outlines a common-sense approach for how to get there.For example, readers will learn how to:build a more complete soil-health management system;balance pH consistently across your fields with mineral balancing;create more resilient crops by knowing how soil health affects disease and pest pressure;and convert raw testing data into real action.For both organic and conventional farmers, A Growers Guide for Balancing Soils dives deep into how macro-nutrients such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and sulfur — along with potassium and micronutrients (cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, and zinc) — affect the development of healthy crops. It’s a problem-solver’s handbook for building soil health.

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse (Sci-Fi Galaxy series Book 2)
Space was supposed to be humanity’s salvation. But now, it may become our doom.
When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict. Once a captive on the Moon, she was subjected to genetic experiments—but the true prize wasn’t her. It was her daughter, Diana, created to survive in deep space and lead a new breed of humanity.
Now the ruthless Consortium wants her back.
As Earth reels from climate collapse and food shortages, powerful forces converge to control ecosystems, genetic patents, and access to survival itself. Their prize: the Seed Vault, a lunar repository containing the last viable genetic codes for Earth’s crops, food supplies—and maybe humanity’s future.
But it’s not just humans who covet the Vault’s valuable contents.
Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs.
Meanwhile, Professor Olga Polyakov, the scientist who made Diana possible, is under orders to recover the child before rival factions strike. But as conflict brews between ideologies, worlds, and species, one truth becomes clear: the war for tomorrow has already begun. And only one thing might shape the outcome—a mother’s love.
The vault is the code.
The eclipse is the signal.
The child is the key.
In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.
From a dying Earth to the vastness of space, the fight to protect humanity’s future has begun and one question drives them all: how to protect what remains of human freedom..
