Beschreibung

Paper Origins Unfolded explores the remarkable journey of paper, revealing its central role in transforming societies and its deep connection to both technological advancement and environmental impact. The book traces paper's evolution from its invention in ancient China to becoming a global commodity, highlighting how its affordability democratized knowledge and facilitated bureaucratic efficiency. It also uncovers the environmental costs associated with paper production, a topic that is increasingly relevant in our modern world.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with early writing surfaces and the initial adoption of paper in China. It follows the Silk Road transmission to the Middle East, its arrival in Europe, and the impact of innovations like the printing press. Later chapters address the effects of industrial-scale paper production on literacy and the environment, culminating in a discussion of paper's evolving role in the digital age.

 
By integrating technological, historical, and environmental perspectives, the book offers a comprehensive look at paper's influence on cultural transformations and societal progress.

    As an engineering manager, you almost always have someone in your company to turn to for advice: a peer on another team, your manager, or even the head of engineering. But who do you turn to if you're the head of engineering? Engineering executives have a challenging learning curve, and many folks excitedly start their first executive role only to leave frustrated within the first eighteen months. 
     
     
     
    In this book, author Will Larson shows you ways to obtain your first executive job and quickly ramp up to meet the challenges you may not have encountered in non-executive roles: measuring engineering for both engineers and the CEO, company-scoped headcount planning, communicating successfully across a growing organization, and figuring out what people actually mean when they keep asking for a "technology strategy." 
     
     
     
    This book explains how to get an engineering executive job, negotiate the contract, and onboard at your new company; run an engineering planning process and communicate effectively with the organization; direct the core meetings necessary to operate an effective engineering organization; hire, onboard, and run performance management; manage yourself and remain effective through many challenges; and leave the job when the time is right.

    From Chaos to Stability - How...

    Israel Rosenfield, Edward Ziff

    At the heart of Israel Rosenfield and Edward Ziff's inquiry is the nature of brain function. The sensory world is disordered and chaotic. There are no labels for tables, chairs, or airplanes, and indeed there are no colors, sounds, or smells, only photons, airwaves, odorant molecules, and so on, which are unlabeled and impossible to "know." 
     
     
     
    To make sense of this chaos, the brain must simplify the sensory inputs by creating, or inventing, the colors, sounds, smells, forms, and faces that are perceived in consciousness, which become a proxy for the chaotic world in which we live. The brain's ability to generalize and categorize these invented perceptions, and to relate them to one another, enables it to form memories, which are not fixed representations of things past, but a dynamic and malleable function of the brain that is relational. 
     
     
     
    When formation of these worlds breaks down, neurological differences arise. Although the mechanisms that transform sensory chaos into the simplified perceptions experienced in consciousness remain elusive, Rosenfield and Ziff relate what they have learned by means of imaging brain activity and by mapping the neural circuits that comprise memory traces. In addition, the authors offer perspectives for future studies of consciousness.

    From midwifing new lambs to harvesting basil, Jessica Gigot invites the reader into her life on a small farm and the uncommon road that led her there. Fascinated by farming and the burgeoning local food movement, she spent her twenties wandering the Pacific Northwest, interning at small farms and doing graduate work in horticulture, always with an eye towards learning as much as she could about how and why people farm. Despite numerous setbacks and the many challenges of farming, she created a family and farm life defined by resilience and a genuine love of the land.   
    In A Little Bit of Land, Gigot explores the intricacies of small-scale agriculture in the Pacific Northwest and the changing role of women in this male-dominated industry. Gigot alternates between chapters describing joys, routines, and challenges of farm life and chapters reflecting on her formative experiences in agriculture, on farms and in classrooms from Ashland to the Skagit Valley. Throughout, she explores questions of sustainability, economics, health, and food systems.

    Invisible Illness - A History...

    A moving cultural history of disability—and a powerful call to action to change how our medical system and society supports those with complex chronic conditions 
      
    From lupus to Lyme, invisible illness is often dismissed by everyone but the sufferers. Why does the medical establishment continually insist that, when symptoms are hard to explain, they are probably just in your head? 
      
    Inspired by her work with long COVID patients, medical anthropologist Emily Mendenhall traces the story of complex chronic conditions to show why both research and practice fail so many. Mendenhall points out disconnects between the reality of chronic disease—which typically involves multiple intersecting problems resulting in unique, individualized illness—and the assumptions of medical providers, who behave as though chronic diseases have uniform effects for everyone. And while invisible illnesses have historically been associated with white middle-class women, being believed that you are sick is even more difficult for patients whose social identities and lived experiences may not align with dominant medical thought. Weaving together cultural history with intimate interviews, Invisible Illness upholds the experiences of those living with complex illness to expose the failures of the American healthcare system—and how we can do better. 
      
    "This book challenges us to address discrimination in clinical care for people with complex chronic conditions like long Covid, questioning why some are believed while others aren't—a persistent disparity in US healthcare."—Oni Blackstock, primary care and HIV physician and founder of Health Justice
