Sinopsis

In "The Romance of the Reaper," Herbert Newton Casson weaves a poignant narrative that delves deep into the soul of agricultural life, illuminating the mechanisms of change brought about by technological progress. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the book combines vivid storytelling with rich descriptions of the landscapes and communities affected by mechanization in farming. Casson's keen observations and anecdotal style reflect an intimate understanding of rural America, encapsulated within the themes of innovation and nostalgia that permeate the text. His exploration serves not only as an homage to the humble reaper but also as a meditation on the intersections of tradition and modernity, echoing the zeitgeist of an era in flux. Herbert Newton Casson was not only an accomplished author but also an influential journalist and speaker on agricultural topics. His firsthand experiences growing up in a farming community profoundly informed his perspective on machinery's transformative role in farming practices. Casson'Äôs blend of professional insight and personal narrative enriches the depth of "The Romance of the Reaper," as he captures the hearts and hardships of the agrarian lifestyle, ultimately positioning him as a voice for those in a rapidly changing agricultural landscape. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Romance of the Reaper" to readers interested in agricultural history, rural sociology, and the nuances of technological advancement. Casson'Äôs acute observations provide a framework for understanding the delicate balance between tradition and progress. His narrative not only informs but also evokes a profound respect for those whose labor sustains our civilization, making this book a vital addition to both literary and historical discussions.

    “This culinary cosmic outing is as creative as it is informative.” — STARRED review, Publishers Weekly
    		 
    From Impossible Burgers to lab-made sushi, two witty, plugged-in food scientists explore leading-edge AgTech for the answer to feeding a settlement on Mars — and nine billion Earthlings too
    		 
    Feeding a Martian is one of the greatest challenges in the history of agriculture. Will a Red Planet menu involve cheese and ice cream made from vats of fermented yeast? Will medicine cabinets overflow with pharmaceuticals created from engineered barley grown using geothermal energy? Will the protein of choice feature a chicken breast grown in a lab? Weird, wonderful, and sometimes disgusting, figuring out “what’s for dinner on Mars” is far from trivial. If we can figure out how to sustain ourselves on Mars, we will know how to do it on Earth too. In Dinner on Mars, authors Fraser and Newman show how setting the table off-planet will supercharge efforts to produce food sustainably here at home.   
    		 
    For futurists, sci-fi geeks, tech nuts, business leaders, and anyone interested in the future of food, Dinner on Mars puts sustainability and adaptability on the menu in the face of our climate crisis.

    An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. 
     
    Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems. 
     
    Science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

    In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed, and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity, touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater, and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the listener to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the third century and to the present day. Through his exploration of alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's secrets, and—most exciting for budding alchemists—uses them to recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This unique approach brings the listener closer to the actual work of alchemy than any other book.
