Evolution

F. B. Jevons

Beschreibung

In "Evolution," F. B. Jevons embarks on a profound exploration of the intersection between philosophy, science, and economics, examining how evolutionary theory influences various aspects of human experience. Written in the late 19th century during a period marked by rapid scientific advancements and intellectual ferment, Jevons employs a clear and analytical style that synthesizes complex ideas into accessible prose. The text delves into the implications of Darwinian thought, not merely as a biological principle but as a framework that encompasses social and economic evolution, positioning it within the broader discourse of progress and human development. F. B. Jevons was a noted economist and philosopher whose works significantly contributed to the fields of utility and marginalism. His background in both the sciences and the humanities informed his multidisciplinary approach, as he sought to integrate insights from various domains into his economic theories. This holistic perspective, paired with his keen observations of societal shifts, motivated him to articulate a vision of evolution that resonated with contemporary intellectual currents while anticipating future debates around the concepts of change and adaptation. "Evolution" is essential reading for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of modern thought. Jevons' insights not only illuminate the prevailing ideas of his time but also challenge readers to consider the ongoing relevance of evolutionary frameworks in understanding contemporary issues. This text is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, promising to enrich one's understanding of the intricate relationship between evolution, society, and economics.

The Frontier Below

Jeff Maynard

Triumphs and disasters in the deep sea
This is a journey through time and water, to the bottom of the ocean and the future of our planet.
We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a world hostile to humans, yet critical to our survival. The first divers to enter that world held their breath and splashed beneath the surface, often clutching rocks to pull them down. Over centuries, they invented wooden diving bells, clumsy diving suits, and unwieldy contraptions in attempts to go deeper and stay longer. But each advance was fraught with danger, as the intruders had to survive the crushing weight of water, or the deadly physiological effects of breathing compressed air. The vertical odyssey continued when explorers squeezed into heavy steel balls dangling on cables, or slung beneath floats filled with flammable gasoline. Plunging into the narrow trenches between the tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust, they eventually reached the bottom of the ocean in the same decade that men first walked on the moon.
Today, as nations scramble to exploit the resources of the ocean floor, The Frontier Below recalls a story of human endeavour that took 2,000 years to travel seven miles, then investigates how we will explore the ocean in the future.
Meticulously researched and drawing extensively on unpublished sources and personal interviews, The Frontier Below is the untold story of the pioneers who had the right stuff, but were forgotten because they went in the wrong direction.
The Frontier Below by Jeff Maynard is a captivating journey through the history of maritime expeditions, the science of physiology, and the economics of resource extraction. It is a testament to human endeavour and the indomitable spirit of exploration, offering a glimpse into the future of our oceans.
For fans of Julian Sancton (Madhouse at the End of the Earth), Buddy Levy (Empire of Ice and Stone), Rachel Lance (In the Waves), James Bradley (Ghost Species), and Helen Czerski (Blue Machine).
