Sinopsis

Silliest Invention Fails explores the fascinating world of technological failures, offering a blend of history and technology. It examines why some inventions, despite human ingenuity, never quite made it. Readers will discover that failed inventions often resulted from technological overreach, where ambition exceeded the era's capabilities, or from solving problems that didn't truly exist. These missteps highlight the critical role of practical application and market understanding in innovation.

 
The book progresses through categories like transportation and communication, using case studies to illustrate design flaws and miscalculations. For instance, some inventions suffered from fundamental design flaws that were only revealed through inadequate testing. Examining these "silliest" inventions provides valuable lessons for inventors and entrepreneurs, emphasizing that failure is a crucial part of the innovation process. By analyzing historical context and drawing from primary sources, the book provides a unique understanding of innovation history and technological misfires.

    Lebanon is often described as “the most successful failed state of the 21st century”. This irony perfectly describes the reality of the country, which harbors vital forces and remarkable economic and cultural potential, but which suffers from extreme and inextricable violence. 
    This book, which reads like a thriller, traces this turbulent history since the 19th century: that of a country condemned to constant struggle, constantly buffeted by external interventions, from the Ottomans to the Iranians, via the Syrians, the Israelis, the British and the Americans, not forgetting France, which continues to play a pre-eminent role. 
    Although Lebanon, the gateway to the Middle East and hostage to international rivalries, has managed, despite everything, to survive, and, like Sisyphus, to heal its internal dissensions in order to constantly climb back up the slope, it has nevertheless been hit in recent years by a succession of unprecedented crises, with a financial and economic collapse that has brought the country to its knees, This has been compounded by a huge influx of Syrian migrants fleeing the war in their homeland, equivalent to half the Lebanese population, and topped off by a particularly destructive confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah, which has ravaged whole swathes of Lebanon. 
    What are the possible solutions for Lebanon's future? What scenarios are on the horizon? These are the answers that this book also seeks to provide.

    White boys and men are dangerous. 
    White boys and men are struggling. 
    Both of these statements are staggeringly true in America today. By far, most large-scale mass shooters are white men. White men also die by suicide more often than any other demographic. In this sensitive, searing, and unsparing look at American boyhood, journalist, mother, and pastor Angela Denker investigates the sometimes-tragic stories of boyhood across the United States. 
    Disciples of White Jesus is a comprehensive look at the rise in radicalization among young white men in America, especially focused on the role of right-wing Christianity in the increase of religious-based hatred and violence. Denker goes deep into the online rabbit holes of right-wing Christian influencers and conservative Christian ideology to understand how the preaching of "traditional gender roles" and "submission of women" has led to anger, outrage, loneliness, depression, and limiting identities for young white Christian men across America. 
    Casting her journalist's eye across the US, Denker retraces the steps of a racist South Carolina mass shooter and a Phoenix skinhead turned Evangelical pastor, interviews middle school teachers and coaches in the Midwest, and introduces us to young men across the country who will both confirm and confound our ideas about American boyhood--stories about boys and men who are forging new identities grounded in kindness, grace, respect, and even joy. A must-read for parents, grandparents, educators, coaches, faith leaders, researchers, and all who care about the state of American families, boys themselves, and the safety of American society at large.

    This combo consists of 2 books: 
    1 - Mayflower: In 1620, a group of English families, known now as the Pilgrims, were carried from England to the New World on the Mayflower. When the Mayflower finally showed up in America on November twenty-first, 1620, it had 102 guests and a team of around 30 on board and was anchored off Cape Cod. 
    The Pilgrims, as opposed to their Puritan coworkers, chose to break away from the Church of England because of its Roman Catholic heritage and the church's hesitation to reform, requiring them to pray in personal instead of in the church. In 1608, a group of English families left England for the Netherlands, where they could practice their faith without fear of persecution. As early as 1620, the Plymouth Group population had determined to cross the Atlantic to the New World, which they viewed as a "new Promised Land." 
    2 - Titanic: At the time of her first journey from Southampton to N.Y. City, RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and died in the North Atlantic Ocean on April fifteenth, 1912. An overall of 2,224 guests and team were reported to have been on board when the ship sank, making it one of the absolute worst single ship catastrophes and the absolute worst peacetime superliner or cruise liner sinking to date. As a result of the general public's interest in the after-effects, the mishap has acted as a structure for the category of catastrophe movies. 
    The RMS Titanic was the second of 3 Olympic-class ocean liners run by the White Star Line when she began service in the year 1912. Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast produced her. That mishap said the life of the shipyard's Chief Naval Designer, Thomas Andrews.
