Beschreibung

Construction Halts Nationwide delves into the United States' drastic construction industry collapse during the Great Depression, revealing its critical role in exacerbating the economic crisis. By 1933, building activity plummeted by 80%, illustrating the severe impact of financial policies and economic downturns on a crucial sector. The book uniquely connects this collapse to broader socio-economic consequences such as widespread unemployment and housing shortages, arguing that the construction downturn was not merely a symptom but a significant driver of the Depression. The book explores the anatomy of the construction industry, the impact of financial policies, and the resulting socio-economic issues, providing a comprehensive understanding of the crisis. It examines pre-Depression speculative booms, government responses, and the effects on employment and housing. Using primary sources and econometric data, Construction Halts Nationwide offers a rigorous, evidence-based perspective, highlighting how investment regulation and economic policies influenced the construction market and subsequently the US economy. Proceeding logically, the book first establishes the scale and immediate effects of the construction decline before analyzing underlying causes, such as banking practices and government missteps. Subsequent chapters focus on the social and economic consequences, concluding with lessons for preventing future construction-led economic catastrophes. This approach offers valuable insights for economists, historians, and policymakers seeking to understand and prevent similar crises.

Non-Things - Upheaval in the...

Byung-Chul Han

We no longer inhabit earth and dwell under the sky: these are being replaced by Google Earth and the Cloud. The terrestrial order is giving way to a digital order, the world of things is being replaced by a world of non-things – a constantly expanding 'infosphere' of information and communication which displaces objects and obliterates any stillness and calmness in our lives.

Byung-Chul Han's critique of the infosphere highlights the price we are paying for our growing preoccupation with information and communication. Today we search for more information without gaining any real knowledge. We communicate constantly without participating in a community. We save masses of data without keeping track of our memories. We accumulate friends and followers without encountering other people. This is how information develops a form of life that has no stability or duration. And as we become increasingly absorbed in the infosphere, we lose touch with the magic of things which provide a stable environment for dwelling and give continuity to human life. The infosphere may seem to grant us new freedoms but it creates new forms of control too, and it cuts us off from the kind of freedom that is tied to acting in the world.

This work by one of the most creative cultural theorists writing today will be of interest to a wide readership.

This audiobook is expertly read by Peter Noble, with audio engineering by Blake Rook. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Violet Moller

Enter the mysterious world of sixteenth-century science, where astronomers and alchemists shared laboratories.In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus declared the earth revolved around the Sun, overturning centuries of scholastic presumption. A new age was coming into view—one guided by observation, technology and logic.But omens and elixirs did not disappear from the sixteenth-century laboratory. Charms and potions could still be found nestled between glistening brass instruments and leather-bound tomes. The line between the natural and supernatural remained porous, yet to be defined.From the icy Danish observatory of Tycho Brahe, to the smoky, sulphur-stained workshop of John Dee, Violet Moller tours the intellectual heart of early European science. Exploring its rich, multidisciplinary culture, Inside the Stargazer's Palace reveals a dazzling forgotten world, where all knowledge, no matter how arcane, could be pursued in good faith.
