Sinopsis

Chinese Inventions explores the profound impact of China's technological innovations on world history, focusing on paper, gunpowder, the compass, and printing. These inventions revolutionized communication, warfare, navigation, and knowledge dissemination. The book argues that these key technologies, originating in Chinese civilization, accelerated global progress and modernization, challenging Eurocentric views of technological advancement. For instance, the invention of paper not only transformed record-keeping but also paved the way for widespread literacy.

 
The book examines the genesis and early development of these inventions within China, detailing the processes involved in their creation and refinement. It then traces the routes through which these technologies spread westward, analyzing their transformative impact on European societies. The structured approach allows readers to understand how gunpowder changed warfare, the compass enabled exploration, and printing facilitated the Renaissance and Reformation.

 
By using historical texts, archaeological findings, and secondary sources, Chinese Inventions presents a well-supported account of China's contribution to global technology and cultural exchange.

Olympic Titanic Britannic - The...

Simon Mills

The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. 
 
 
 
The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail. Of the three ships built, the first only lost the record for being the largest because she was beaten by the second, and they were both beaten by the third. The class was meant to secure the White Star Line's reputation as the greatest shipping company on earth. Instead, with the loss of both the Titanic and the Britannic in their first year of service, it guaranteed White Star's infamy. 
 
 
 
This unique book tells the extraordinary story of these three extraordinary ships from the bottom up, starting with their conception and construction (and later their modification) and following their very different careers. Behind the technical details of these magnificent ships lies a tragic human story—not just of the lives lost aboard the Titanic and Britannic, but of the designers pushing the limits beyond what was actually possible, engineers unable to prepare for every twist of fate, and ship owners and crew who truly believed a ship could be unsinkable.
