Sinossi

In "Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel," Ignatius Donnelly presents a captivating exploration of the catastrophic end of the last Ice Age, intertwining mythology, geology, and archaeology. Through a compelling narrative, Donnelly postulates that an ancient cataclysm could have significantly influenced human civilization, echoing the mythological tales of Ragnarok from Norse tradition. His literary style is a blend of passionate prose and rigorous scholarship, reflecting the spirit of the late 19th century when archaeological discoveries were reshaping the understanding of human history, and scientific inquiry was gaining prominence in the narrative of human progress. Donnelly, a former Congressman and an ardent supporter of populist causes, was deeply inspired by the intersection of science, mythology, and the quest for truth. His extensive background in literature and history, combined with his fervent interest in lost civilizations, empowered him to delve into the forgotten cataclysms of the Earth's past. "Ragnarok" serves as a testament to his belief in the interconnectedness of mythic narratives and historical events, reflecting a broader intellectual curiosity prevalent during his time. For readers intrigued by the convergence of science and mythology, "Ragnarok: The Age of Fire and Gravel" offers profound insights and compelling arguments. Donnelly's thought-provoking analysis encourages a reevaluation of historical narratives while highlighting the resilience of human civilization in the face of disaster. This work is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the enduring impact of cataclysm on the development of human societies.

    In this new and updated edition of the acclaimed classic Interviewing Users, Steve Portigal quickly and effectively dispels the myth that interviewing is trivial. He shows how research studies and logistics can be used to determine concrete goals for a business and takes the reader on a detailed journey into the specifics of interviewing techniques, best practices, fieldwork, documentation, and how to make sense of uncovered data. Then Steve takes the process even further—showing the methods and details behind asking questions—from the words themselves to the interviewer's actions and how they influence an interview. There is even a chapter on making sure that information gleaned from the research study is used by the business in such a way to make it impactful and worthwhile. Oh, and for good measure he throws in information about Research Operations. 
     
     
     
    But, hey, that's just the nuts and bolts of the book. The truly fun part is Steve's voice and how he portrays this information through amusing anecdotes about his career, fascinating examples from other practitioners, and tips and tricks that only the most experienced UX researchers, like Steve, could come up with. As a nod to the pandemic, he offers ideas for the best way to interview someone remotely, and he also discusses personal bias—how to identify and deal with it so that it doesn't affect interviews.

    Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. It can be caused by various infectious agents, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The most common form is viral meningitis, but bacterial meningitis is more severe and can be life-threatening. Understanding meningitis involves recognizing the different types, causes, and how it affects the body. 
    There are several types of meningitis, with bacterial and viral being the most widely recognized. Bacterial meningitis is often more severe, requiring immediate medical attention, as it can result in brain damage, hearing loss, or even death if left untreated. Viral meningitis, though typically less severe, can still cause significant discomfort and requires treatment to manage symptoms. Fungal and parasitic meningitis are less common but are particularly concerning for individuals with weakened immune systems. Each type has its own set of causes, transmission methods, and severity. 
    The causes of meningitis are diverse, with bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae being some of the most common culprits in bacterial cases. Viral meningitis is usually caused by enteroviruses, though the herpes simplex virus and HIV can also lead to viral meningitis. Fungal infections, like those caused by Cryptococcus, typically affect individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those living with HIV/AIDS. Meningitis can also result from parasitic infections, although this is extremely rare.

    The inspiring story of a feisty pioneering woman who sought freedom and adventure in the outback and became the first woman to work as an opal miner in Australia. 
     
    People always asked her if she was ever afraid, living out in the desert alone with all those rough and scruffy men. But Minnie Berrington was not the faint-hearted type, and never had been. Being tough came naturally to her, growing up with three brothers and a family that went from riches to ruins. 
     
    Only a slip of a girl, Minnie could match any man in stamina, perseverance and strength. She arrived in Coober Pedy when camels still brought in essential supplies, and water was so scarce that no-one washed. Together with the other miners, she braved the heat, the flies and the dust. Every day she waited for that special sound the pick made when it cracked opal. 
     
    The first woman to dig her own shafts in the Australian opal fields, Minnie began her working life as a typist in London. But she and her younger brother, Victor, sought freedom and adventure in the 1920s and found plenty of it in the outback.
