Sinopsis

Ladders and Heights explores the surprisingly significant role of ladders in human history and technology. From enabling the construction of ancient monuments to facilitating modern rescue operations, ladders have been fundamental to human progress. The book examines how ladder construction has evolved, incorporating advancements in material science, from basic wooden structures to sophisticated designs using steel and fiberglass. One intriguing fact is how early ladders allowed access to elevated dwellings in ancient civilizations, while another is the ongoing development of ladder safety standards and regulations. The book's value lies in its unique interdisciplinary approach, blending historical context with technological analysis and practical safety considerations. It moves beyond the perception of ladders as mere tools, highlighting their contribution to human aspiration and ingenuity. The book begins by establishing the ladder's foundational role, then explores its development across civilizations and industries, and culminates in a synthesis of its historical, technological, and safety aspects.

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869 – 1948) was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of satyagraha—resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, a philosophy firmly founded upon ahimsa or total nonviolence—which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi and in India also as Bapu. He is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday. (Wikipedia)

    "Engaging" stories of what the Motor City was like before the invention of the motor (Detroit Metro-Times). 
     
     
      
    Long before it became the twentieth-century automotive capital, Detroit was a muddy port town full of grog shops, horse races, haphazard cemeteries, and enterprising bootstrappers from all over the world. 
     
     
      
    In this lively book you'll discover the city's forgotten history and meet a variety of unforgettable characters—the argumentative French fugitive who founded the city; the tobacco magnate who haunts his shuttered factory; the gambler prankster millionaire who built a monument to himself; the governor who brought his scholarly library with him on canoe expeditions; and the historians who helped create the story of Detroit as we know it: one of the oldest, rowdiest, and most enigmatic cities in the Midwest.
