Sinopsis

"Cableway History" unveils the remarkable journey of cable-based transportation, from ancient rope bridges to modern urban transit solutions. This comprehensive exploration begins with a pivotal moment in 1927 when a Swiss engineer's simple milk transportation system across the Alps sparked a revolution in terrain-challenging mobility.

 
The book masterfully weaves together technological advancement, practical necessity, and engineering innovation, showing how cableway systems evolved from primitive rope mechanisms to sophisticated aerial transportation networks. The narrative progresses through three distinct phases, examining how early civilizations in South America and Asia developed basic rope systems, the transformative impact of the Industrial Revolution's metallurgical advances, and the emergence of modern engineering solutions.

 
Particularly fascinating is the book's revelation of how mining operations in the European Alps and American West served as catalysts for technological improvements, driving innovations in wire rope manufacturing and grip mechanisms for detachable cables. Through a blend of technical analysis, historical documentation, and case studies of notable installations like the Roosevelt Island Tramway and the Grindelwald-Männlichen gondola system, the book offers valuable insights for both engineering professionals and transportation enthusiasts.

 
Drawing from global engineering archives and patent records, it demonstrates how cableway technology continues to influence modern solutions for urban mobility and complex terrain challenges, making it an essential resource for understanding this often-overlooked chapter in transportation history.

    InHumana: An American Healthcare Story tells how an only child was conscripted into a war with a soulless monstrosity that repeatedly tried to throw his widowed mom's life away with the surreptitious aid of unregulated artificial intelligence. 
    Months after a stroke and two seizures robbed author Jeremy White's mom of use of her right side, a federal judge ruled her the victor of their war against Humana for wrongfully denying critically needed care. Their battle, which involved multiple hearings and appeals, is one that fewer than 10 percent of denied Medicare Advantage Plan members like her bother fighting, despite a 90 percent success rate for appeals. A Pulitzer-nominated investigation and two class-action lawsuits would eventually demystify Humana's wanton gaslighting by revealing the shocking truth behind their inhumane decisions. 
    InHumana is a timely examination of the medical-industrial complex from the belly of the beast that explores what it means to be human and eviscerates the farce of corporate personhood. White's genuine humor buoys heavy topics and hard-learned lessons about a nebulous appeals process. His epilogue—which addresses "Deny," "Defend," and "Depose—was prompted by a surge of interest in InHumana following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

It is a remarkable achievement since now this industry is bigger than McDonald's and Pepsi. If this phenomenon could be left outside the media a few years ago, now it is impossible to deny that there is a true revolution in the act.  With his flawless style and his profound knowledge, Corey managed to put together a simple yet efficient approach to introduce people to the world of blockchain and cryptos.

    The inspiring story of one trailblazing California farmer that has proven—with over fifty years of hard-won experience—that large-scale farming of high-value crops can be done in a way that’s positive for the planet and the community—while still making a profit. 
     
    From a first-generation farmer with no agricultural background to a steward of over 1,700 acres growing 20 different crops across 27 fields in the Sacramento Valley of California, award-winning conservationist Scott Park shares his spectacular story in Growing Rogue. 
     
    When Scott broke ground on his farm in 1974, the use of harsh agricultural chemicals was rampant. After years of witnessing large-scale farms degrade and pollute their land, Scott decided on a different path: Through trial and error, tragedy and triumph, he would develop a holistic farm system—one that benefited the environment while still turning a profit. 
     
    After more than fifty years of honing his craft, Scott shares his methods for growing organic, high-value crops in this accessible, inspiring, and wryly humorous book. Far from shying away from the current farming crisis, Growing Rogue confronts it head on, arguing for a better world and offering a practical roadmap for how to get there. 
     
    Growing Rogue reminds us that farmers are environmental stewards with ethical and ecological responsibilities—and when the land is thriving, so, too, is the farm.
