Summary

Scissors Cut Clean explores the fascinating history and design evolution of scissors, transforming our understanding of this seemingly simple cutting tool. From ancient Egypt, where early scissor-like tools emerged around 1500 BCE, to modern surgical and industrial applications, the book traces how necessity and ingenuity shaped their form and function. Early scissors were not pivot-based but resembled tweezers; the invention of the pivot was a pivotal moment, enabling greater control and cutting force. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with archaeological evidence of the earliest forms and moving through the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, highlighting regional variations and manufacturing techniques. Readers will discover how scissor design reflects broader technological and societal progress. The book shows how scissors are a microcosm of tool evolution, influencing industries from textile production to hairdressing, and emphasizing the human element in design.

Profit over Privacy - How...

Matthew Crain

In Profit over Privacy, Matthew Crain gives internet surveillance a much-needed origin story by chronicling the development of its most important historical catalyst: web advertising. 
 
 
 
Profit over Privacy uses the 1990s as its backdrop to show how the massive data-collection infrastructure that undergirds the internet today is the result of twenty-five years of technical and political economic engineering. Crain considers the social causes and consequences of the internet's rapid embrace of consumer monitoring, detailing how advertisers and marketers adapted to the existential threat of the internet and marshaled venture capital to develop the now-ubiquitous business model called "surveillance advertising." He draws on a range of primary resources from government, industry, and the press and highlights the political roots of internet advertising to underscore the necessity of political solutions to reign in unaccountable commercial surveillance. 
 
 
 
Surveillance advertising is the result of political choices—not the inevitable march of technology. Unlike many other countries, the United States has no internet privacy law. A fascinating prehistory of internet advertising giants like Google and Facebook, Profit over Privacy argues that the internet did not have to turn out this way and that it can be remade into something better.

DESCRIPTION
The title of the book is Bhartiya Shoorveer .Earlier I had given the title of the book as bravery of India. Then I felt that the name of this book should be changed. Finally, I name my book BHARATIYA SHOORVEER. The name
Bhartiya Shoorveer was given because it felt good to speak in Hindi and our mother tongue is Hindi so I named the book Bhartiya Shoorveer. Now the question comes to why I wrote this book. The answer is that I love and respect my Indian Army very much. It is also a dream of mine to write a book on the Indian armed forces. I chose the topic of the Army only because what our Indian soldiers are doing for us on the borders protects us day and night whether it's a cold or hot or Stormy. It is also our duty to pay a thankfulness to our Indian Soldiers. The purpose of writing this book is to thank every Indian brave through this book. In Indian bravery, every soldier has been called bharatiya shoorveer. As you all know that our Indian Army is the second largest Army in the world. The responsibility of the security of the entire nation rests on them. Para SF Commandos have been given the title of Indian Warriors Bhartiya Shoorveer . In this book and how difficult and tough their journey is,

What's Wrong With Socialism - A...

Daniel Alan Brubaker

What’s Wrong With Socialism: A Biblical Investigation For Everyone takes a clear, accessible look at one of the most debated political and economic systems of our time—through the lens of the Bible. 
Author Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD explores socialism not just as an abstract theory, but as a lived reality with deep implications for human freedom, justice, wealth, and responsibility. Drawing on Scripture, history, and practical examples, Brubaker asks whether socialism’s promises of equality and fairness hold up when tested against biblical principles and real-world outcomes. 
This audiobook helps listeners understand:The core ideas of socialism and why they appeal to many.How socialism differs from voluntary sharing and generosity modeled in the Bible.What Scripture teaches about wealth, justice, and the proper use of possessions.The dangers of materialism, state control, and the suppression of personal responsibility.How mercy and justice are often confused in debates about public policy. 
Written in straightforward, non-technical language, this is a biblical investigation for everyone—students, pastors, church groups, anyone wrestling with the promises and pitfalls of socialism. Brubaker takes the topic seriously, showing where and why socialism ultimately fails the biblical test. 
Whether you are new to the discussion or already familiar with political and economic debates, this audiobook will equip you with clear categories and biblical grounding to think more deeply about socialism and its alternatives. 
For Christians seeking clarity in an age of confusion, or for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, economics, and justice, What’s Wrong With Socialism offers a compelling and thought-provoking guide.
