Even if you just want to start small, this book has all you need to know about the process that makes aquaponics so ingenious. You do not have to be a commercial farmer to make this method work for you. Many families have small systems in their basements or even a little tank on the window sill.

The truth is aquaponics isn't new or revolutionary, it just makes use of nature's own methods to grow You probably have your own reasons why you're looking at aquaponics, but it is something you really need to be familiar with before making the commitment. Do you want your own sustainable, organic, home grown produce? Do you want to know where your food comes from and that it's the best quality? Why waste money on a hydroponic system when you can go the whole way, skip the chemicals, and have home raised fish that are healthier and tastier than store bought.

Aquaponics is something that many commercial farmers have known about for years, and some societies have used it for far longer. Tap into their knowledge with this introduction to setting up your system. We'll tell you what the right ppm measurements in your tank are, what crops grow best, tips to stop you making common mistakes and how to make use of that dark space underneath to grow extra things.

Straitjacket Sexualities: Unbinding Asian American Manhoods in the Movies looks to cinematic history to reveal the dynamic ways Asian American men, from Bruce Lee to Long Duk Dong, create and claim a variety of masculinities. Representations of love, romance, desire, and lovemaking show how Asian American men fashion manhoods that negotiate the dynamics of self and other, expanding our ideas of sexuality. The unique ways in which Asian American men express intimacy is powerfully represented onscreen, offering distinct portraits of individuals struggling with group identities. Rejecting "macho" men, these movies stake Asian American manhood on the notion of caring for, rather than dominating, others.

Straitjacket Sexualities identifies a number of moments in the movies wherein masculinity is figured anew. By looking at intimate relations on screen, power as sexual prowess and brute masculinity is redefined, giving primacy to the diverse ways Asian American men experience complex, ambiguous, and ambivalent genders and sexualities.
