Synopsis

How Nails Hold explores the surprisingly significant history and technology of nails, arguing that their evolution mirrors broader advancements in construction, manufacturing, and society itself. From ancient hand-forged pieces to mass-produced varieties, the book traces how the nail's development has been a cornerstone of progress. 

 
Did you know that widespread construction beyond simple dwellings would have been nearly impossible without the nail? The book examines early metallurgy's impact on nail quality, blending historical narrative with technical explanations suitable for a broad audience. 

 
The book unfolds logically, introducing nail mechanics and early manufacturing before exploring three major periods: hand-forged nails, automated factories during the Industrial Revolution, and the modern proliferation of specialized types. By presenting a detailed historical account of nail production, a technical analysis of nail design, and an economic examination of the nail's impact on industries, the book showcases the nail's profound impact on human civilization.

 
It connects to fields like materials science, engineering, and economic history, offering a comprehensive perspective on this seemingly mundane object.

Internationalism or Extinction

Noam Chomsky

In his new book, Noam Chomsky writes cogently about the threats to planetary survival that are of growing alarm today. The prospect of human extinction emerged after World War II, the dawn of a new era scientists now term the Anthropocene. Chomsky uniquely traces the duality of existential threats from nuclear weapons and from climate change—including how the concerns emerged and evolved, and how the threats can interact with one another. The introduction and accompanying interviews place these dual threats in a framework of unprecedented corporate global power which has overtaken nation states’ ability to control the future and preserve the planet. Chomsky argues for the urgency of international climate and arms agreements, showing how global popular movements are mobilizing to force governments to meet this unprecedented challenge to civilization’s survival.
