Summary

Steam Power Agriculture examines the significant role of steam power in transforming agricultural practices during the industrial era. This book explores how steam-driven machinery replaced manual labor and animal power, leading to modern agricultural techniques. It highlights the ingenuity behind innovations like steam-powered plows and threshing machines, which drastically increased food production. The book also sheds light on the socio-economic effects of this mechanization, including shifts in labor dynamics and land ownership.

 
The book uses patent records from the United States and the United Kingdom to showcase the inventive spirit driving agricultural mechanization. It argues that the introduction of steam power was not just a technological upgrade but a catalyst for systemic change, restructuring rural economies. For example, the transition led to both increased yields and debates about environmental impact and labor displacement.

 
Organized methodically, the book begins with the fundamentals of steam engines adapted for farming. It then progresses to specific innovations and their designs, analyzes the consequent socio-economic changes, and concludes with the decline of steam power and its lasting legacy. By combining technological analysis with socio-economic impact assessment, the book offers a holistic understanding of steam power's influence, making it valuable for historians, economists, and anyone interested in the evolution of agriculture.

    "Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Peter Silverstone was a young MD who took up a new position in psychopharmacology research at Oxford University. Since then, the field has bloomed into a spectrum of possibilities that include the use of psychedelics as a treatment for depression, addiction, PTSD, grief, and anxiety. The Promise of Psychedelics is for you—if you or someone you know has not received successful treatment despite trying several mental-health therapy programs and medication. You are not alone: one in five adults suffer mental-health issues that impact their functioning. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, cannabinoids, and LSD can cause profound, intense changes—not only in what we experience but how we think, how we feel, and what we do. Dr. Silverstone avoids scientific language whenever possible, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. You’ll be introduced to the most recent advances in our understanding of psychedelics: what they are, how they work, what the risks are, and which ones will transform mental-health treatment for millions of patients. You’ll gain an understanding of the complexity of the regulatory approval process and why it takes so long for some of these psychedelics to become legal for therapeutic use. You’ll walk away from The Promise of Psychedelics with a big dose of hope if you’ll pardon the pun. The good news is that we’re on the cusp of a revolution in mental health—one offering hope that many just might soon see the end of mental illness."

    Jonathan Corcoran was the youngest and only son of three siblings in a family balanced on the precipice of poverty. His mother, a traditional, evangelical, and insular woman who had survived abuse and abandonment, was often his only ally. Together they navigated a strained homelife dominated by his distant, gambling-addicted father and shared a seemingly unbreakable bond. 
     
     
     
    When Corcoran left home to attend Brown University, a chasm between his upbringing and his reality began to open. As his horizons and experiences expanded, he met the upper-middle-class Jewish man who would become his husband. But this authentic life would not be easy, and Corcoran was forever changed when his mother disowned him after discovering his truth. In the ensuing fifteen years, the two would come together only to violently spring apart. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged in 2020, the cycle finally ended when he received the news that his mother had died. 
     
     
     
    In No Son of Mine, Corcoran traces his messy estrangement from his mother through lost geographies as well as the lost relationships with friends and family and the sense of home that were stripped away when she said he was no longer her son. Through grief, anger, questioning, and growth, Corcoran explores the entwined yet separate histories and identities of his mother and himself.

    Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein examines the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.
