Sinopsis

First Video Broadcasts explores the genesis of television, revealing how moving images transitioned from laboratory experiments to a revolutionary medium. It highlights the ingenious inventions and the visionary individuals, such as John Logie Baird and Philo Farnsworth, who overcame significant technological hurdles to transmit the first flickering images. These early broadcasts weren't merely technological feats; they fundamentally altered how information and entertainment reached the masses, establishing the groundwork for modern media. The book explains complex concepts, like the Nipkow disk, in an accessible manner, blending technical details with social and cultural context. It also emphasizes the intense competition and patent battles that fueled innovation during this period. By drawing from original patents, personal correspondence, and early broadcast accounts, First Video Broadcasts provides a tangible sense of the technology's evolution and the excitement surrounding early television. Beginning with the scientific principles of image transmission, the book progresses through the contributions of key inventors to the public reception of early broadcasts. The book concludes by analyzing the impact on entertainment, news, and advertising, examining television's trajectory and its lasting influence on society.

    America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author explores the fall of the American Dream and the steps we can take to bring it back. 
     
     
     
    The widening wealth gap is all too familiar to many Millennials and GenZers, especially when home ownership and the lack of debt seem like faraway fantasies. And it's no surprise when they only hold about 4.6% of the country's wealth while Boomers held 22% at around the same age. So what happened to the promise of the American Dream? 
     
     
     
    In this new, final entry of his celebrated Hidden History series, Thom Hartmann uncovers the rise of the American middle class through the progressive policies of FDR, through to its downfall with the increasing privatization and economic deregulations of the Reagan era. 
     
     
     
    He also explores potential solutions including wealth and inheritance taxes to lessen economic inequality, supporting unions through increasing labor rights, and renationalizing public spaces and transportation. 
     
     
     
    The American Dream often remains just a dream for many, but this book highlights what needs to be done to take it back and help make it a reality for us all.

    A fresh, concise roadmap for United States grand strategy in a multipolar world For the past thirty years, post–Cold War triumphalism and a desire to reshape the world have defined United States foreign policy. But the failures of the global war on terror, the return of conflict to Europe, and growing tensions with China all suggest that this approach to the world is flawed. For the United States—the country that has ruled the international system largely alone since 1991—this moment is particularly perilous. Can policymakers adapt American foreign policy to better fit the twenty-first century, and in doing so avoid the pitfalls and excesses of the past three decades? In this book, Emma Ashford proposes a return to a more pragmatic, realist set of strategic principles, ones better suited for the emerging multipolar world, that would pursue narrower United States interests, cultivate the capabilities of friendly states, and emphasize room for maneuver over rigid alliances. In this she provides a valuable counterpoint to today's liberal internationalist consensus, as well as a road map for policymakers who seek to change the course of United States foreign policy.

    Did you know that the first novel in the world was produced by a Japanese noblewoman? 
    Back in ancient times, the Japanese depended on Chinese characters (kanji) to write all sorts of documents and manuscripts, ranging from official letters to census records and poetry. It was only during the Heian period (794–1185 CE) that they began to create their very own writing system known today as kana. 
    The history of ancient Japan is filled with interesting events that involved many influential and legendary figures. However, some of the accounts were also infused with Japanese myths, which might make it difficult for curious readers to distinguish between facts and legends. 
    But you can safely put your concern aside. With this new Enthralling History book, you will discover an array of information and stories of the ancient Japanese, starting from the prehistoric era up until the Heian period, which saw the birth of the first samurai warriors. 
    Here’s just a small fraction of what you’ll discover:How the Jomon period earned its name and the impressive designs of early Japanese pottery.How rice cultivation first arrived in Japan and the transition into a more civilized society.The legendary kingdom of Yamatai and how it rose to power.The unique-looking kofun tombs and legends behind the persons interred within them.Vicious wars and assassinations of powerful figures in the imperial court.Interesting myths and the origins of Shinto, an indigenous Japanese religion.The flourishing culture and architecture of ancient Japan and the arrival of Buddhism.The bloody conflicts between the two earliest samurai clans.
