Sinopsis

Arab Engineering unveils the significant contributions of Middle Eastern engineers, architects, and inventors to global technology. Often overlooked, these innovations range from sophisticated hydraulic systems crucial for agriculture in arid climates to groundbreaking architectural designs found in mosques and palaces. The book highlights how advancements in mechanical engineering, such as early automated machines, predate and influenced later European inventions, challenging Eurocentric views of technological progress.

 
The book explores hydraulic engineering, architectural innovation, and mechanical engineering across chapters, demonstrating how Arab engineers integrated scientific knowledge with practical applications and aesthetic considerations. For example, the qanat system of irrigation showcases ingenious water management techniques. By examining medieval Arabic manuscripts and archaeological findings, Arab Engineering reveals how these innovations were transmitted to Europe, enriching our understanding of the diverse origins of modern technology.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the historical background and key figures, then explores specific examples of each engineering domain, concluding with an analysis of how these innovations influenced Western technological development. This approach offers a unique perspective by focusing on the practical applications of scientific knowledge in solving real-world problems, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, technology, and the Middle East.

Between the Lines -...

Eric Simonson

In the spring of 2022, the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company boldly, and perhaps cavalierly, re-emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic with a brand new, 43 million dollar, state-of-the-art theatre. Director Yasen Peyankov insisted he cast the premiere production - a brand new, adaption of The Seagull - with as many Steppenwolf ensemble members as possible. This meant coaxing one non-actor, director and writer Eric Simonson, into coming back to the stage after a 33 year absence. Taking a leap in the dark, and battling the demons of stage-fright, confidence and homesickness, Simonson took up the challenge and started on a journey into the great theatrical unknown. Part diary, part history of the Chicago Theater Renaissance, this memoir takes the reader behind the scenes of a Steppenwolf classic, and inside the head of a man desperate to rediscover the joy and craft of acting.

Learning Is Fun! (A Bugville Jr...

R. Stanek

Learning has never sounded this much like play! Learning Is Fun! turns vowels, skip-counting, shapes, colors, comparisons, senses, weather, and patterns into ten lively musical adventures children will want to hear again and again. Young listeners can meet the five vowel friends, jump through number patterns, search for shapes, dance through changing weather, and discover that every wonderful question can lead somewhere new. Each song invites children to sing, move, clap, point, listen, wonder, and participate at their own pace—without making learning feel like a lesson or a test. Catchy hooks build familiarity and confidence, while playful repetition helps useful ideas stay with children long after the music ends. It is an energetic, curiosity-filled collection for home, preschool, road trips, playtime, and every little bug who learns best by joining the fun.
