Summary

Airmail Growth Patterns explores the transformative impact of aviation on mail delivery during the 20th century, highlighting how it reshaped global interactions. The book examines the synergistic relationship between advancements in aviation technology, like increased aircraft speed and payload capacity, the establishment of airmail infrastructure, and the growth of airmail services. It reveals how this interplay fostered a positive feedback loop, driving the rapid adoption and expansion of airmail, and contributing significantly to globalization.

 
 The book uniquely emphasizes the interplay between technological innovation and strategic infrastructure development, moving beyond a simple chronological account. It investigates the early challenges of airmail flights and the subsequent improvements in aircraft design and navigational precision. It also analyzes the crucial role of government subsidies and private investment in building essential infrastructure, such as airports and standardized airmail routes. By using archival records, flight logs, and statistical data, the book offers a detailed account of airmail operations.

 
Beginning with the pioneering flights and technical limitations, the book progresses through advancements in aircraft design and infrastructure development. It culminates by examining airmail's impact on global trade, communication, and cultural exchange, while also addressing contemporary applications like express delivery services. This approach provides scholars, researchers, and general readers with a comprehensive understanding of airmail's evolution and its lasting legacy.

    The Book on the Bookshelf

    From the author of the highly praised The Pencil and The Evolution of Useful Things comes another captivating history of the seemingly mundane: the book and its storage. 
Most of us take for granted that our books are vertical on our shelves with the spines facing out, but Henry Petroski, inveterately curious engineer, didn’t. As a result, readers are guided along the astonishing evolution from papyrus scrolls boxed at Alexandria to upright books shelved at the Library of Congress. 
 Petroski takes us into the pre-Gutenberg world, when books were so scarce they were chained to lecterns for security. He explains how the printing press not only changed the way books were made and shelved but also increased their availability and transformed book readers into book owners and collectors. 
In delightful digressions, Petroski lets Seneca have his say on “the evils of book collecting;” examines the famed collection of Samuel Pepys and his only three thousand titles—old discarded to make room for new; and discusses bookselling, book buying, and book collecting through the centuries. 
This is the ultimate book on the book: how it came to be and how we have come to keep it.

    The Vedic Hymns are among the most interesting portions of Hindoo literature. In form and spirit they resemble both the poems of the Hebrew psalter and the lyrics of Pindar. They deal with the most elemental religious conceptions and are full of the imagery of nature. It would be absurd to deny to very many of them the possession of the truest poetic inspiration. The scenery of the Himalayas, ice and snow, storm and tempest, lend their majesty to the strains of the Vedic poet. He describes the storm sweeping over the white-crested mountains till the earth, like a hoary king, trembles with fear.
