Sinopse

Chronicle Preservation explores the crucial topic of preserving historical records, examining how societies have strived to safeguard knowledge across time. It highlights the evolution of preservation methods, from the meticulous work of ancient manuscript preservation to the complex challenges of modern digital archiving. For instance, the transition from hand-copied manuscripts to the printing revolution not only increased the volume of information but also introduced new preservation challenges, such as managing acidic paper's degradation. The book emphasizes that preservation is not a neutral act but is intertwined with cultural values, power dynamics, and the choices we make about what survives.

 
The book adopts a chronological approach, guiding readers through three key phases: the age of manuscripts, the printing revolution, and the digital era. It examines the technologies and techniques that defined each period, as well as the social and economic factors that influenced preservation efforts. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, exploring the unique challenges and ethical considerations that arise with each technological advancement.

 
Ultimately, Chronicle Preservation aims to challenge readers to critically examine the biases inherent in preservation efforts and to consider the ethical implications of choosing what to save and who gets access to it.

Handprints on Hubble - An...

Kathryn D. Sullivan

The first American woman to walk in space recounts her experience as part of the team that launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. It has, among many other achievements, revealed thousands of galaxies in what seemed to be empty patches of sky; transformed our knowledge of black holes; found dwarf planets with moons orbiting other stars; and measured precisely how fast the universe is expanding. In Handprints on Hubble, retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan describes her work on the NASA team that made all of this possible. Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble, the most productive observatory ever built. Along the way, Sullivan chronicles her early life as a "Sputnik Baby," her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of "thirty-five new guys." (She was also one of the first six women to join NASA's storied astronaut corps.) She describes in vivid detail what liftoff feels like inside a spacecraft (it's like "being in an earthquake and a fighter jet at the same time"), shows us the view from a spacewalk, and recounts the temporary grounding of the shuttle program after the Challenger disaster. Sullivan explains that "maintainability" was designed into Hubble, and she describes the work of inventing the tools and processes that made on-orbit maintenance possible. Because in-flight repair and upgrade was part of the plan, NASA was able to fix a serious defect in Hubble's mirrors?leaving literal and metaphorical "handprints on Hubble."

The Enduring Wild - A Journey...

Josh Jackson

A galvanizing road trip across California's immense public wilderness from a beloved adventurer. 
 
 
 
It all began with a camping trip. Outdoor enthusiast Josh Jackson had never heard of "BLM land" before a casual recommendation from a friend led him to a free campsite in the desert—and the revelation that over fifteen million acres of land in California are owned collectively by the people. In The Enduring Wild, he takes us on a road trip spanning thousands of miles, crisscrossing the Golden State to seek out every parcel of public wilderness therein belonging to the federal Bureau of Land Management, from the Pacific shores of the King Range down to the Mojave Desert. Over mountains, across prairies, and through sagebrush, Jackson unravels the stories of these lands. He tells of the Indigenous peoples who have called them home for millennia, of the extractivist threats that imperil them today, and of the grassroots organizers and political champions who have rallied to their common defense to uphold the radical mandate to protect these natural treasures for generations to come. For the adventurers, campers, explorers, map readers, road trippers, nature enthusiasts, and public lands lovers out there, The Enduring Wild is an indispensable invitation to know these places more deeply and to embrace our common inheritance.
