Sinossi

"Legacy of Cosmos" masterfully chronicles the fascinating journey of cosmos flowers from their Mexican origins to their global influence on gardens and ecosystems. Beginning with a single seed's historic journey to Europe in the 16th century, this comprehensive work weaves together botanical science, cultural history, and practical gardening wisdom to tell the story of one of the world's most adaptable and beloved flowers.

 
The book explores three interconnected themes: the evolutionary development of cosmos flowers, their rich cultural significance across different societies, and their vital role in modern sustainable gardening. Through meticulous research drawing from botanical archives and contemporary studies, readers discover how these daisy-like blooms adapted to diverse climates and became symbols of harmony in various cultures, from Mexican folk medicine to Japanese ikebana.

 
Particularly intriguing is the revelation of how cosmos flowers contribute to soil health and support pollinator populations, making them invaluable for ecological gardens. Moving from historical significance to practical application, the book provides research-based guidance on cultivation techniques while examining the broader implications of cosmos flowers in environmental conservation.

 
The text skillfully balances scientific detail with accessible narratives, making complex botanical concepts understandable for both casual gardeners and environmental professionals. Through detailed case studies and long-term research data, readers gain insight into how these resilient plants serve as indicators of environmental change and adaptation, offering valuable lessons for future sustainable gardening practices.

    The Wonders of Radium by Maynard Shipley is a captivating scientific exploration of one of the most fascinating discoveries of the early 20th century. Written in a time of scientific revolution, this work explains the origin, nature, and wide-ranging applications of radium, a radioactive element famously discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. Shipley skillfully translates complex scientific principles into accessible language, detailing radium's powerful effects—from revolutionizing medical treatments, such as early cancer therapies, to its curious industrial and agricultural uses. 
    With a mix of scientific rigor and wonder, Shipley delves into the processes of radioactive decay, the extraction of radium from ores, and the element’s role in estimating the age of the Earth. Readers will find insights into the cultural and scientific impact of radium, a substance once seen as miraculous and later viewed with more caution. This is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in scientific history, capturing humanity’s fascination with atomic energy before its darker implications were fully realized.

    Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
     
     
      
    Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.
