Sinossi

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.

    A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
     
     
     
    From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
     
     
     
    Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.

    So, what is this book all about? This book will answer the basic questions about chicken raising and help you get started on the right foot. It will also help you as your chicken empire grows and keep you from being plucked apart by the competitive chicken raising business. I have tried to keep this book lighthearted and while also factual and helpful, after all once you start, I don’t want you to chicken out.  
     
    I’ve designed this book to help in your research and to get you started off on the right foot. First up, I’ll talk about some of the laws you’re going to have to know related to raising chickens where you live. Then I’ll dive deeper in the question of why do you want to raise chickens? What’s the real reason. Once you know exactly why you’re raising them and what you hope to accomplish, I’ll talk about how you can decide what is the best Chicken breed or type of chicken for you? Once you know which is the bird of choice, then it’s about how to house them, after all you have to have a place to keep them. Once they’re safe, I’ll talk about feeding them, and then keeping them healthy.
