Synopsis

Unintended Inventions explores the captivating history of accidental discoveries that have profoundly shaped our world. It delves into how chance encounters, mistakes, and unforeseen circumstances have led to remarkable technological advancements, impacting industries and transforming daily life in unexpected ways. The book reveals that many significant innovations arose not from deliberate planning, but from serendipitous moments and keen observation.

 
For instance, the creation of the sticky note, now a ubiquitous office staple, stemmed from a failed attempt to create a super-strong adhesive. The book challenges the conventional view of invention as a linear, problem-solving process, instead emphasizing the crucial roles of luck, adaptability, and human ingenuity.

 
It explores the psychological factors that enable individuals to recognize the potential of accidental discoveries, such as curiosity and open-mindedness. Through case studies across various industries, from the accidental creation of the potato chip to other technological marvels, the book examines the circumstances, key figures, and societal impacts of these inventions.

 
The book progresses by first defining "unintended inventions" and then moves on to explore the broader implications for innovation policy, research funding, and entrepreneurial strategy, illustrating how embracing experimentation and even failure can lead to valuable breakthroughs.

A global study of how soldiers lived, worked, and fought, and how many died, spanning from the Napoleonic War to World War II. No matter the war, no matter the army, no matter the nationality, common threads run through the experiences of men at war. Soldiers highlights these shared experiences across 150 years of warfare, from the Napoleonic Wars through World War II and everything in between, such as the Mexican and Crimean Wars, the American Civil War, the U.S. Indian Wars and Britain’s imperial bush wars, the Boxer Rebellion, the Boer War, the First World War, and more. Haymond explores the experiences that connect soldiers across time and space and draws heavily from firsthand accounts to craft a narrative with flesh-and-blood immediacy. Soldiers is entertaining and informative: history at its best. Praise for Soldiers“What makes Soldiers an interesting read is Haymond’s writing style and technique of comparing the common experiences of fighting men regardless of uniform and time served during the period.... Highly recommended for both scholars and students alike. It is a must for readers interested in the experience and psychology of being a warrior during this period.”—Military Review: The Professional Journal of the United States Army

Madison & Adams Press presents the Civil War Memories Series. This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. 
Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the Army of Northern Virginia is not a classical memoir work from the Civil War. Author did not want to write exclusively about his experience in the war, even though he drew on his time in the army for several chapters. Instead, he wanted to underscore the importance of common Confederate soldiers within Lost Cause memory.The Lost Cause of the Confederacy is an ideological assertion made by many Confederate veterans which claimed that the cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was just, heroic, and not centered on slavery.

Peggy Orenstein, acclaimed author of the groundbreaking New York Times bestsellers Girls & Sex and Schoolgirls, offers a radical, timely wake-up call for parents, revealing the dark side of a pretty and pink culture confronting girls at every turn as they grow into adults. 
Sweet and sassy or predatory and hardened, sexualized girlhood influences our daughters from infancy onward, telling them that how a girl looks matters more than who she is. Somewhere between the exhilarating rise of Girl Power in the 1990s and today, the pursuit of physical perfection has been recast as the source of female empowerment. And commercialization has spread the message faster and farther, reaching girls at ever-younger ages. But how dangerous is pink and pretty, anyway? Being a princess is just make-believe; eventually they grow out of it . . . or do they? 
 
In search of answers, Peggy Orenstein visited Disneyland, trolled American Girl Place, and met parents of beauty-pageant preschoolers tricked out like Vegas showgirls. The stakes turn out to be higher than she ever imagined. From premature sexualization to the risk of depression to rising rates of narcissism, the potential negative impact of this new girlie-girl culture is undeniable—yet armed with awareness and recognition, parents can effectively counterbalance its influence in their daughters' lives.
