Beschreibung

What happens when cleaning your home becomes something you no longer think about? GEAR Clean takes readers on a journey through the evolution of robotic vacuum and mop machines — from clunky prototypes to sleek companions quietly reshaping daily life. This book is more than a history lesson; it’s a look at how automation transforms our habits, choices, and even values inside the home.
 
With clarity and curiosity, Evan L. Cross explores how engineering, artificial intelligence, and human behavior intersect in the world of automated cleaning. Why do we trust machines to handle our most personal spaces? What trade-offs are we making in pursuit of convenience? And how might the next generation of cleaning bots learn, adapt, or even repair themselves?
 
Ideal for general readers curious about the tech shaping their homes, GEAR Clean is both informative and reflective. It weaves together design thinking, consumer trends, and the silent revolution beneath our feet. Whether you’re tech-savvy or simply curious about your next smart purchase, this book invites you to rethink what it means to live clean in the age of machines.
 
***
 
This book is part of GEAR makes complexity clear..., a series of standalone nonfiction books designed to turn big ideas into clear, engaging reads.
 
GEAR is a playful journey into the hidden life of machines.
 
From tiny robot vacuums to soaring aircraft, from clean energy to cooling secrets, each book takes one powerful word and unpacks it with color, clarity, and charm. Sometimes you’ll meet a simple formula, other times none at all—but never the heavy stuff. Instead, you get stories, analogies, and friendly visuals that turn engineering into everyday wonder. No stress, no jargon—just the joy of seeing how systems really tick. With new titles joining beyond the first five, GEAR is always building, always growing, and always fun to explore.

    Henry David Thoreau’s Walking is a profound meditation on nature, freedom, and self-discovery. Originally published in 1862, this classic essay explores the philosophy of walking as both a physical and spiritual act, emphasizing the importance of immersing oneself in the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world. Thoreau argues that walking is not merely a pastime but a way to achieve a deeper connection with the land, free from societal constraints and distractions. 
    Narrated by Declan McHugh, this audiobook brings Thoreau’s lyrical prose to life, guiding listeners through his reflections on wilderness, solitude, and personal growth. His insights remain as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, inspiring modern readers to step away from the noise of civilization and embrace the tranquility of nature. 
    An essential work for lovers of philosophy, nature writing, and transcendentalist thought, Walking is a timeless call to slow down, wander, and rediscover the world beyond paved roads and crowded cities.

    The Ming Dynasty emerged from the ashes of the Yuan Dynasty, a Mongol-led empire that had ruled China for nearly a century. By the late 14th century, the Yuan government had become weak and corrupt, plagued by heavy taxation, famines, and widespread unrest. The Chinese population, weary of foreign rule, began to rise in rebellion. Among the many insurgent leaders, one man would rise to power and change the course of Chinese history—Zhu Yuanzhang. 
    Born into a poor peasant family, Zhu Yuanzhang experienced hardship early in life. Orphaned as a child, he spent years in a Buddhist monastery before joining the Red Turban Rebellion, a movement dedicated to overthrowing the Yuan. His military prowess and strategic mind quickly elevated him through the ranks. As he consolidated power, he systematically eliminated rival factions, eventually establishing himself as the dominant leader of the rebellion. In 1368, Zhu marched his forces into Beijing, forcing the last Yuan emperor to flee northward. Declaring the end of Mongol rule, he proclaimed himself emperor and founded the Ming Dynasty, choosing the name "Ming," meaning "brilliant" or "bright," to symbolize a new era of Chinese rule. 
    As the first Ming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, now known as the Hongwu Emperor, sought to restore Chinese traditions and repair the damage caused by Mongol rule. He reestablished Confucian principles as the foundation of government, reinstating the civil service examination system to ensure that officials were selected based on merit rather than birthright. He also implemented strict laws to reduce corruption, often resorting to harsh punishments to maintain order. His administration worked to rebuild agriculture, improve irrigation systems, and distribute land to farmers, strengthening the economy and ensuring food security.
