Beschreibung

The Torch Invention illuminates the fascinating history of portable light, revealing how a simple innovation profoundly shaped human civilization. From prehistoric campfires to modern LED flashlights, the book traces the evolution of the torch as a symbol of human progress. Discover how early torches, fueled by resin-soaked wood and animal fats, extended activity beyond daylight, enabling exploration and altering social structures. The narrative emphasizes the ingenuity behind each iteration, highlighting the continuous cycle of innovation driven by necessity.

 
The book explores the torch's journey chronologically, beginning with archaeological evidence of early fire-keeping and progressing through oil lamps, candles, and gas-powered lights. It examines the impact of these advancements on urbanization and social interactions before transitioning to the electrical age with the invention of the incandescent light bulb and the rise of battery-powered flashlights. The book culminates with modern lighting technologies like LEDs, considering their energy efficiency and environmental impact. The insights provided on light generation and energy efficiency can further inform better choices about lighting solutions.

    Narrated by Matthew Schmitz of Altrusian Grace Media - Please make sure you check out all the amazing audiobooks released by AGM! "The Chemists Key to Shut and Open: As the True Doctrine of the Corruption and Generation in Ten Brief Aphorisms, Illustrated with most plain and faithful Commentaries, out of the Pure Light of Nature: By that Judicious and Industrious Artist 
    Henry Nollius, 1617. This book having worth enough in itself needs not my commendation, this Author in his lifetime being an eminent physician and most able Philosopher as the discourse itself can best testify. The translator also wanted not judgment to choose what was best in his kind, nor abilities to perform, the choice being made. It is I alone that appear here as Menelaus at that feast in the Iliad, who came though not invited. I shall not endeavor to excuse myself, for I come not empty but will contribute somewhat to the collation. The Author builds on good principles, so that his Theory is as true as it is plausible; and I presume he aimed at nothing more, leaving all particulars and their application to the industry of his readers. He is sometimes pleased to descend to examples, but to such only as are natural, and they indeed are good to teach but hard to imitate. We see not all that Nature does."

    Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize 
     
     
     
    In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution. 
     
     
     
    This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. 
     
     
     
    In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.
