Summary

In "A Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines," Andrew Ure meticulously compiles a comprehensive lexicon that encapsulates the burgeoning industrial zeitgeist of the early 19th century. This seminal work, published in 1837, deftly intertwines literary precision with scientific rigor, illuminating a wide array of topics related to engineering, chemistry, and metallurgy. Ure's systematic approach, enriched with detailed illustrations and innovative definitions, serves to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, embodying the spirit of the Industrial Revolution and its profound impact on contemporary society. Andrew Ure, a Scottish physician and pioneering chemist, possessed an insatiable curiosity that significantly shaped his work. His extensive background in medicine and science, combined with a fascination for industry, inspired him to document the technological advances of his time. Ure'Äôs commitment to educational reform and the dissemination of knowledge is evident in this dictionary, as he sought not only to catalog information but also to make it accessible to a broader audience, including artisans and scholars alike. This dictionary is an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the progress of industrialization. Ure'Äôs work stands as a testament to the interconnection of science, literature, and industry, making it a crucial addition to any library seeking to explore the evolution of modern technological practices.

In Plain Sight investigates the mystery of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the secretive government operations surrounding them. The book explores high-level revelations about military encounters, covert investigations, and the evidence suggesting that UFOs are not just the stuff of conspiracy theories but a significant, unexplained phenomenon. Drawing on interviews and classified documents, it presents a compelling case for the existence of extraterrestrial encounters and the cover-ups that have obscured the truth.

    “What do you think happens after we die?” has been Elizabeth Earley’s favorite conversation starter since the motorcycle accident that almost killed her. In Little Deaths All in a Row: Essays on Sex and Death, Earley delves into memories of past lovers and offers vivid portraits of the hospice patients she has worked with after recovering from her own near-fatal injuries. Tracing the many connections—philosophical, scientific, ethical, and spiritual—between sex and death, these lyric essays ponder the afterlife, pain and pleasure, quantum entanglement and love, and the “strange and painful goodness of being alive.”

    A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.
