The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.Show book
Arthur Scott Bailey (1877 – 1949) was author of more than forty children's books. He was born on November 15, 1877, in St. Albans, Vermont, United States, the second child of Winfield Scott Bailey and Harriet Sarah Goodhue.THERE was great excitement in the neighborhood of Farmer Green's house. Rusty Wren had found some strange tracks. And nobody knew whose they were.Now, when they were puzzled like that the field- and forest-folk usually went straight to Mr. Crow for advice. But this time it happened that the old gentleman had gone on an excursion to the further side of Blue Mountain, where Brownie Beaver lived. And there seemed to be no one else at hand who was likely to be able to explain the mystery. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/21426Show book

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. From long before the `medical profession` was remotely as reliable as it is today, people relied mostly on herbal cures. Most people had a rudimentary knowledge of the capabilities of of the flora that grew in their neighbourhood, and the older women tended to know more than most. These women were often referred to as wise women. By the way, they were the ones later persecuted by the established churches as witches, The people who had this this superior knowledge of local herbs were heavily relied upon by the local community, and the best of the best would also `import` herbs from further afield. This knowledge has not been lost, but fewer modern men and women are in possession of it than their parents` and grandparents` generations. It could have been said to be dying out However, there has been a revival of interest in the ancient cures, often referred to as traditional, alternative or natural remedies. There are many reasons for this. Some might be a breakdown of trust in the establishment and advertisers; the soaring cost of modern drugs; the increasing difficulty of getting to see a doctor; the side effects of strong chemical drugs; and even an upswell in the desire to return to a less chemical way of life. Whatever the reason for your interest in this topic, I hope you enjoy this booklet. The information in this ebook on various aspects of traditional home remedies and related ideas is organised into 19 chapters of about 500-600 words each.Show book
Natalie Angier knows all that scientists know—and sometimes more—about the power of symmetry in sexual relations, about the brutal courting habits of dolphins, about the grand deceit of orchids, about the impact of female and male preferences on evolution. She knows how scientists go about their work, and she describes their ways, their visions, and their arguments. Perhaps most poignantly, she understands the complexities and the sad necessity of death. “The beauty of the natural world lies in the details, and most of those details are not the stuff of calendar art,” she points out. Few writers have ever covered so many facets of biology so evocatively in one book. The Beauty of the Beastly tells us how the genius of the biological universe resides in its details and proves why, according to Timothy Ferris, author of the acclaimed Coming of Age in the Milky Way, Angier is “one of the strongest and wittiest science writers in the world today.”Show book
