In the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission - "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible" - and its much-quoted motto, "don't be evil."
In this provacative book, the author examines the ways we have used and embraced Google - and the growing resistance to tis expansion across the globe.
"A brilliant meditation on technology, information and consumer inertia, as well as an ambitious challenge to change how where, why, and what we Google." ~ Dahlia Lithwick, Slate Magazine
The long leaf pine ecosystem depends on fire for its survival. Stands of pine were once burned over every few years, either by lightning or deliberately by Native Americans. the fire returned nutrients to the bare sandy soil, and prevented the growth of scrub oak and other underbrush that would have choked out the pine seedlings. Wire grass re-sprouts within a few days after a fire.
While they look barren, the plants growing on these rocks have produced a fragile and bewildering ecosystem.
New method for output, makes the drawings a lot more interesting. These are mutations of the random one on the top left.

This terrestrial ecosystem is backyard with a lot of grass, trees, and bushes. They interact with air, soil, water, and sunlight.
Come explore the world of seagrass ecosystems! Learn why this habitat is so critical, touch and see the local grass species, and investigate the ways we collect data in this highly dynamic system.
Regreening Africa is restoring ecosystems in 8 countries and improving the resilience of 500,000 households across sub-Saharan Africa.
Regreening Africa’s goal in Ghana is to create a sustained approach to reversing land degradation and integrating food production through agroforestry.
Regreening Africa addresses pressing challenges in Ghana’s savannas: extreme and prolonged dry seasons, overgrazing, uncontrolled fire, declining tree cover, loss of indigenous biodiversity and increased soil infertility.
