  This book consists of 3 titles: 
  Greenhouse: Greenhouse gardening offers numerous benefits beyond extending the growing season. It provides a controlled environment that protects plants from pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions, creating an ideal microclimate for optimal growth. With precise control over temperature, humidity, and light levels, gardeners can cultivate a wide range of plants that might not thrive in their local climate otherwise. Greenhouses also allow for efficient use of space, enabling vertical gardening, hydroponic systems, and other innovative cultivation techniques. Additionally, greenhouse gardening promotes sustainability by reducing water consumption, minimizing the need for chemical pesticides, and enabling year-round production of fresh, locally grown produce. 
  Horticulture: Horticulture encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including plant biology, genetics, soil science, entomology, plant pathology, and environmental science. It involves understanding the specific needs of different plant species, such as their preferred growing conditions, nutritional requirements, and pest and disease management strategies. 
  Irrigation Systems: An irrigation system is a method used to supply water to crops or landscapes in a controlled manner, typically to assist with crop growth or maintain landscapes. There are various types of irrigation systems, including drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and flood irrigation, each with its own advantages and applications.

  Ethiopia - through writers' eyes

  Ethiopia is one of only a handful of countries that shock the traveller with their unique perspective. These places awaken a deep sense of wonder and offer a rare opportunity to observe the world from a different angle, to see things anew. Ethiopia: through writers' eyes is the perfect companion to any exploration of this idiosyncratic country, be it from the precarious saddle of an Abyssinian mule, or the comfortable folds of an armchair. A compendium of all things Ethiopian, with excerpts translated from writings in a number of languages including Amharic, the book peoples the land with a caste of priest-kings descended from Solomon and Sheba, and with many of the eccentric adventurers who have been drawn there: Jesuit explorers and missionaries, foolish would-be conquerors and writers of all stripes.
