Sinopse

Forgotten Invention Lore uncovers the fascinating world of lost innovations and overlooked technological breakthroughs that shaped our understanding of human ingenuity. Through extensive research of patent archives, personal letters, and institutional records, the book reveals how numerous groundbreaking inventions were either ahead of their time, lost to bureaucratic mishaps, or developed simultaneously in different places.

 
Notable examples include Augustin Le Prince's pioneering single-lens camera and Antonio Meucci's early telephone-like device, both predating their more famous counterparts. The book challenges the common perception of technological progress as a linear journey, instead presenting it as a complex web of successes, failures, and rediscoveries.

 
Divided into three main sections, it begins with the historical context of invention documentation, moves through detailed accounts of forgotten innovations across various fields, and concludes with an analysis of why certain inventions fade from public memory while others endure. The authors combine traditional historical analysis with modern digital archaeology, utilizing contemporary database tools to uncover previously unknown connections between inventors and their works.

 
This meticulously researched work serves both academic and general audiences by maintaining scholarly rigor while remaining accessible to technology enthusiasts and history buffs. By examining social, economic, and political factors that influence innovation success, the book offers valuable insights for modern inventors and entrepreneurs. The narrative draws important parallels between historical patterns and current technological development challenges, providing practical lessons for today's innovation landscape.

    A new assessment of the British and Commonwealth contribution to the defeat of Japan in the Pacific.
    
    The monumental struggle fought against Imperial Japan in the Asia/Pacific theater during World War II is primarily viewed as an American affair. While the United States did play a dominant role, the British and Commonwealth forces also made major contributions—on land, at sea and in the air, eventually involving over a million men and vast armadas of ships and aircraft. It was a difficult and often desperate conflict fought against a skilled and ruthless enemy that initially saw the British suffer the worst series of defeats ever to befall their armed forces. Still, the British persevered and slowly turned the tables on their Japanese antagonists. Fighting over an immense area that stretched from India in the west to the Solomon Islands in the east and Australia in the south to the waters off Japan in the north, British and Commonwealth forces eventually scored a string of stirring victories that avenged their earlier defeats and helped facilitate the demise of the Japanese Empire.
    
    Often overlooked by history, this substantial war effort is fully explored in Forgotten War. Meticulously researched, the book provides a complete, balanced and detailed account of the role that British and Commonwealth forces played on land, sea and in the air during this crucial struggle. It also provides unique analysis regarding the effectiveness and relevance of this collective effort and the contributions it made to the overall Allied victory.

    We as a society are self-censoring at record rates. Say the wrong thing at the wrong moment to the wrong person and the consequences can be dire. Think that everyone should be treated equally regardless of race? You're a racist who needs to be kicked out of the online forum that you started. Believe there are biological differences between men and women? You're a sexist who should be fired with cause. Argue that people should be able to speak freely within the bounds of the law? You're a fascist who should be removed from your position of authority. When the truth is no defense and nuance is seen as an attack, self-censorship is a rational choice. Yet, our silence comes with a price. When we are too fearful to speak openly and honestly, we deprive ourselves of the ability to build genuine relationships, we yield all cultural and political power to those with opposing views, and we lose our ability to challenge ideas or change minds, even our own. 
      
    In No Apologies, Katherine Brodsky argues that it's time for principled individuals to hit the unmute button and resist the authoritarians among us who name, shame, and punish. Recognizing that speaking authentically is easier said than done, she spent two years researching and interviewing those who have been subjected to public harassment and abuse for daring to transgress the new orthodoxy or criticize a new taboo. While she found that some of these individuals navigated the outrage mob better than others, and some suffered worse personal and professional effects than others, all of the individuals with whom she spoke remain unapologetic over their choice to express themselves authentically. In sharing their stories, which span the arts, education, journalism, and science, Brodsky uncovers lessons for all of us in the silenced majority to push back against the dangerous illiberalism of the vocal minority that tolerates no dissent— and to find and free our own voices.

    Have you ever wondered how to tell a brig from a barque? Or a sprat from a sardine? How salt is made and when Trinity House was founded? The answers to these and much more will be found within these pages. 
    Shortlisted for the Amberley Press Publishing Prize. Curlew Coast is the author’s second book about East Anglia’s maritime past. Using the coastal towns of Suffolk as a framework, the book explores a diversity of subjects from rope making to ship burials and from coastal erosion to the early navigators. Illustrated throughout with the author’s sketches, Curlew Coast covers the period from when the Anglo-Saxons first sailed up the East Anglian rivers, to the age of the railway when the engine began to take over from sail. 
    The author lives in Norfolk with memories of many happy hours sailing off the Suffolk coast and its rivers. A lifelong interest in traditional boats, sailing and maritime history has resulted in this unusual and engaging book.
