Historia
Converting your home to solar energy is one of the best investments you will ever make. You’ve heard that installing solar power reduces the value of your home. Or that your roof will leak if you install solar power. You may even have heard that if solar panels are imperfectly installed, your house will burn down. Don’t believe any of it. They’re just not true.

Discover the secrets to powering your vehicle to go off the grid with mobile solar power systems. Learn how to power up to go off the grid the right way! Living in a van or RV is an awesome experience - but using loud generators to power your devices is not. When all you want to do is get on the move, having to rely on someone else's electricity can really put a damper on your travel choices. The good news? Solar panels, which are a very efficient source of renewable energy, can power everything you need - whether you are on the go or parked at a campsite!

Historia
The grid is an accident of history and of culture, in no way intrinsic to how we produce, deliver and consume electrical power. Yet this is the system the United States ended up with, a jerry-built structure now so rickety and near collapse that a strong wind or a hot day can bring it to a grinding halt. The grid is now under threat from a new source: renewable and variable energy, which puts stress on its logics as much as its components.

Although modern aquaponics is still fairly new, it was used in ancient times. Some of the first examples are thought to be islands where plants raised with water and other materials from the Chinampa canals. The islands, known as Chinampas, were mainly stationary, but some were movable. Also, rice was raised in Thailand and China in paddies, which also contained fish. Other Far Eastern countries also raised fish - swamp eels, regular and crucian carp, and Oriental loach - in rice paddies.

Hydroponics gardening is an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years and is a great way to grow plants without the soil. It is becoming more prevalent in the modern day, thanks to the desire for many people to grow their own food in an organic system that is entirely natural. With practical information aimed at home DIYers, this book shows just how to build, plant, and maintain a lot of hydroponic systems, some of which cost just a few dollars to make.

Gone are the days when farming had to be an elaborate, space-occupying and labor- or machine-intensive activity. These days, you can set up a fully self-sustaining garden or farm that has both animals and plants in one place, with all the components relying on each other in some way. If you are wondering how that is even possible, welcome to aquaponics - a form of farming which combines aquaculture (the raising of fish and other aquatic animals) with hydroponics (the growing of plants without soil) in one system that has unparalleled levels of efficiency.

Fruits and vegetables can be pricey, especially if they’re out of season. And, of course, they can be even more expensive if you choose to go organic. You could always plant your own garden, but, maybe, you don’t have enough space outside or, maybe, you live in a colder climate. Unfortunately, not everyone lives where they can plant an outdoor garden. The alternative is to set up an indoor hydroponic system.

Resumen del Editor
Are you transitioning to off-grid boondocking, know you need a solar system, but you're scared as heck to get started?
Building a mobile off-grid solar system can be intimidating to most beginners. Trust me, I used a portable generator for the first couple of years of van life.
But understanding the basic principles of off-the-grid solar power can probably save your life if you start connecting wires before you understand what they all do.
My name is Judson Crawford, and I've been a true nomad now for nearly a decade, so if there's anything I know how to do, it's survive on the road.
Off-grid boondocking is one of the most fulfilling life experiences you can have because it removes your safety net (your home) and forces you to think on your toes instead of being complacent day-to-day.
But one of the biggest challenges of living off the grid is how to transition your power needs to your new home on wheels.
My book will show you how to achieve mobile off-the-grid solar power for your RV, boat, or van, so you can easily understand it and put the pieces together yourself (alongside a licensed electrician, of course).
I show you how to gauge your current use, the importance of downsizing your electrical needs and how to pivot to more energy-efficient means to power your electronics.
Electricity is a complicated subject - and it's dangerous too!
But my book will break down the concept of solar power and how your solar system components work together to create electricity, so you have the wherewithal to think before you act.
This is the information all the online guides leave out!
Don't risk electrocution by not understanding the fundamentals of building an off-grid solar system. Scroll up and hit the "Buy Now" button so you can begin learning today!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Since the beginning of human history Mars has been an alluring dream - the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. Now with the advent of a revolutionary new plan, all this has changed. Leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin has crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct, presented here with engaging anecdotes. The Case for Mars is not a vision for the far future or one that will cost us impossible billions.

Ignition! is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise that eventually took men to the moon.

Historia
Since the beginning of human history Mars has been an alluring dream - the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. Now with the advent of a revolutionary new plan, all this has changed. Leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin has crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct, presented here with engaging anecdotes. The Case for Mars is not a vision for the far future or one that will cost us impossible billions.

Historia
Ignition! is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise that eventually took men to the moon.

Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little to nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved or how they get into plants. Teaming with Nutrients explains how nutrients move into plants and what both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients do once inside. It shows organic gardeners how to provide these essentials.

In our daily lives, we're surrounded by wires, pipes, utility poles, cell phone towers, and myriad other infrastructure that facilitates almost everything we do. Even though these systems are essential, when was the last time you gave them much thought? In On the Grid, Scott Huler sets out to understand all of the systems that shape our society - from transportation, water, and garbage to the Internet coming through our cable lines.
