In the midst of ongoing news about Southwestern water scarcity, Martha Retallick sees an opportunity. For 20 years, she has been transforming her central Tucson home into an urban oasis. The secret to her success: Water harvesting. Since Retallick purchased her central Tucson home in 2004, she has incorporated two types of water harvesting – passive and active – into her landscape. Passive water harvesting is simply the act of sculpting the landscape to direct the water to where it should be – like plants – and away from where it shouldn’t be – like a home’s foundation. Retallick’s landscape incorporates three passive water harvesting features – basins, berms, and drainage swales. Collectively, these earthworks eliminate the need for landscape irrigation that’s connected to the municipal water supply, which is served by Tucson Water. According to Tucson Water, approximately 40 percent of water use in Tucson is outdoors. This includes residential uses like landscape irrigation and garden watering. Retallick’s irrigation-free landscape also includes two active water harvesting features, a 1,500-gallon cistern that collects rainwater for use in the back-yard vegetable garden, and a laundry-to-landscape greywater harvesting system that diverts wastewater from the washing machine to three fruit trees. City Nature is illustrated with more than 60 of Retallick’s color photographs, which show the wide variety of plant life on her property, the birds she shares it with, and her various do-it-herself projects, the most notable being a kinetic sculpture created from a recycled chandelier. The book also includes a list of suggested resources that encompasses books, websites, organizations, and businesses that can aid readers interested in desert gardening and landscaping, and in water conservation.

"Good Enough" is an intimate and compelling memoir penned by Aaron Victor, a chronicle of his personal journey towards self-acceptance. A testament to his resilience, the book meticulously depicts his transformation from being an 'unknown man' to his journey towards self-acceptance.Aaron's narrative explores his early childhood experiences and the pressures of meeting adult expectations at a very young age. His relationship with his father forms a pivotal part of this narrative arc. Victor does not shy away from portraying the impact of his father's battle with prostate cancer on their bond. His passion for music and his arduous journey to fully embrace this talent also form significant threads in this narrative tapestry.From touching upon episodes of bullying in his school days to the pressure of high academic expectations, Aaron has crafted an engaging narrative that examines the lasting impact of childhood experiences on an individual's self-perception. His perpetual quest for acceptance and his struggle with perfectionism underscore his internal conflict between seeking external validation and recognizing that true self-worth lies within. His quest for authenticity evolves through introspection, forgiveness, and ultimately, healing.Aaron Victor's experiences in his personal life, including his relationships and his pursuit of his passion, form the backbone of this memoir. He shares his experiences with romantic relationships, highlighting his time in the friend zone, and how this affected his feelings of self-worth. His journey from high school to college, his struggle as a college basketball player, and his setbacks in his career, particularly a job offer that fell through, paint a vivid picture of his life's ups and downs.

Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly educational crash course in Aristotelian philosophy—specifically his theory of causality, aka why things happen according to a man who thought everything, including acorns and chairs, had a spiritual destiny.In this delightfully vicious breakdown of Aristotle’s metaphysics, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) drags you through the Four Causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—with all the reverence of a philosopher who’s had enough. Whether it’s trees yearning to be trees, tables having identity crises, or humans trying to find meaning while simultaneously sabotaging themselves, this book dissects Aristotle’s ancient framework with modern sarcasm and a side of existential dread.Inside, you’ll get:A roast of Aristotle’s greatest hits: substance, essence, and metaphysical overkillWhy your coffee mug apparently has purpose and moral characterHow causality shows up in nature, ethics, AI, and your inability to commitA final cause that dares to ask if you have one (spoiler: Aristotle thinks you should)And a walk through the philosophical ruins of teleology, where purpose and pretension meetPerfect for philosophy students, intellectual masochists, or anyone who’s ever asked “Why did that happen?” and gotten four wildly overcomplicated answers in response.This is not your professor’s Aristotle. This is Aristotle, but make it bearable

Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight.In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am.Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German.Inside, you’ll learn:What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis)Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group projectHow this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this)What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left LeipzigAnd why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimistIf you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you.Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.

I Think, Therefore I’m Wrong: Descartes and the Birth of Overconfidence is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally honest, and deeply unhinged guide to the man who launched modern philosophy with one anxious thought spiral and never looked back.René Descartes: French, wealthy, suspicious of everything, and armed with just enough Latin to convince the world that his personal identity crisis was actually a groundbreaking intellectual framework. From doubting the entire universe to claiming God exists because the idea of God felt right, Descartes pioneered a system so elegantly flawed it haunted philosophers for centuries—and now you get to enjoy the wreckage.In this book, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, Leibniz’s Monads) takes you on a laugh-out-loud demolition tour of:The Four-Step Method of Doubt, also known as gaslighting the cosmosThe Cogito, or how to accidentally make thinking sound smugGod as epistemological tech supportMind-body dualism, or “what if you’re just a haunted skeleton?”Descartes’ legacy in science, psychology, AI, and every freshman who says “I'm not my body, bro.”Whether you’re a philosophy student, a recovering Cartesian, or just here to watch the metaphysical world burn, this book explains Descartes’ ideas the way they were always meant to be understood: with sarcasm, side-eye, and a glass of wine.I think, therefore I spiral.

What if your political identity, your core beliefs, and even your taste in snack food weren’t really yours? What if they were built out of language, hijacked by desire, and quietly manipulated by slogans, myths, and a Symbolic Order you didn’t ask to be born into?Welcome to the world of Jacques Lacan, where nothing means what it seems, and everything is your unconscious acting out.Lacan Sucks is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly accurate guide to Lacan’s theory of language, power, and why you keep voting against your own interests. From signifiers that never shut up to unconscious desires that vote without you, this book breaks down how politics doesn’t just use language—it is language.Through roast-level commentary, existential side-eye, and actual philosophical insight (yes, really), this book unpacks:How language doesn’t reflect reality—it constructs itWhy you’re not an individual, you’re a pre-written script with anxietyHow politicians weaponize your desires with slogans and symbolsWhat the hell Lacan meant by “the unconscious is structured like a language”And how to fight back using the one weapon they fear: your own damn voiceIf you’ve ever felt manipulated by political discourse, confused by your own identity, or just wanted to scream into a pillow while reading Écrits, this is the book for you.No degree in psychoanalysis or philosophy required. Just a sense of humor and a lingering suspicion that reality might be rigged.

God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be CanonizedEver wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you.This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church.Inside, you’ll find:A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God)An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin”His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking systemThe Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfareWhy Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggingsFrom his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed.Perfect for:Recovering theology majorsCatholic guilt survivorsPhilosophy nerds who love a good roastAnyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very deadCome for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops.Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.

In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons.Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival).This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media.Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.
