Summary

Can Opener Turns explores the surprisingly complex history of the can opener, a device deeply interwoven with our food systems. Beyond a simple tool for puncturing metal, its evolution reflects major shifts in industrialization, food preservation, and consumer culture. Initially, opening canned goods was a cumbersome task involving hammers and chisels, highlighting how technological limitations shaped early food consumption. The book reveals how the can opener's journey wasn't a straight line of improvements but a series of innovations driven by specific needs and societal demands. The book examines the slow initial adoption and the subsequent technological leaps that led to modern can opener designs. Chapters chronologically explore different can opener types, from early claw-style models to rotary and electric versions. By focusing on the can opener, the book provides a unique lens to understand the intricate relationship between invention, adoption, and their profound impact on how we eat and live.

What Do Women Want? - Adventures...

Anonymous

When it comes to sex, common wisdom holds that men roam while women crave closeness and commitment. But in this provocative, headline-making book, Daniel Bergner turns everything we thought we knew about women's arousal and desire inside out. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with renowned behavioral scientists, sexologists, psychologists, and everyday women, he forces us to reconsider long-held notions about female sexuality. 
This bold and captivating journey into the world of female desire explores answers to such thought-provoking questions as: Are women perhaps the less monogamous sex? What effect do intimacy and emotional connection really have on lust? What is the role of narcissism—the desire to be desired—in female sexuality? Are political gains for women ("No means no") detrimental in the bedroom? And is the hunt for a "female Viagra" anything but a search for the cure for monogamy? 
Bergner goes behind the scenes of some of the most groundbreaking experiments on sexuality today and confronts us with controversial, sometimes uncomfortable findings. Incendiary, profoundly insightful, and brilliantly illuminating, What Do Women Want? will change the conversation about women and sex, and is sure to spark dynamic discussion for years to come.

Coming Clean - The Rise of...

Eric Heinze

What has gone wrong with the left—and what leftists must do if they want to change politics, ethics, and minds. 
 
 
 
Leftists have long taught that people in the West must take responsibility for centuries of classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices. Of course, right-wingers constantly ridicule this claim for its "wokeness." 
 
 
 
In Coming Clean, Eric Heinzerejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about these bleak pasts, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. 
 
 
 
Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that leftists have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of "hatred," and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground.
