In 'The Genetic Effects of Radiation', a compelling collection that traverses the nuanced landscapes of biology, genetics, and the foreboding shadow of nuclear energy, readers are invited to explore a confluence of scientific insight and speculative foresight. This anthology, marked by its interdisciplinary approach, features contributions that range in style from rigorous scientific discourse to speculative fiction. The works within offer a panoramic view on the implications of radiation on genetic material, both at the minutiae of DNA and the broader ecosystemic level, underscoring the collections thematic gravity and its significant place within scientific literature. Noteworthy are the essays that bridge the gap between hard science and speculative possibilities, serving as a testament to the collection's diversity and depth. The authors, Isaac Asimov and Theodosius Dobzhansky, bring to the table vastly different backgroundsan acclaimed science fiction writer known for his ability to speculate about the future of humanity, and a prominent geneticist whose work laid foundational contributions to the field of evolutionary biology. Their collaboration underlines the anthologys unique position at the intersection of genetics, evolutionary theory, and speculative science fiction. The collection is emblematic of a period where the public and scientific community grappled with the potentialities and perils of nuclear energy, making it a significant cultural and scientific artifact. 'The Genetic Effects of Radiation' is an essential read for those intrigued by the intersection of science, literature, and society. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with complex scientific themes through varied narrative forms, making accessible the intricate world of genetics and radiation to a broader audience. Readers will not only gain insight into the scientific debates of the past but will also be prompted to reflect on the current and future implications of human technological advancement. This anthology is a must-have for anyone interested in the dialogue between science and the human imagination, offering both education and speculation within its covers.

Before continuing to history of technology, it is important to understand what technology actually is. Technology refers to set of multiple methods in order t perform a particular task. It can be as simple as a language or stone tool and also as complex as genetic engineering and information technology emerging since late 80s. 
    Technology enables to acquire new knowledge that is applied to emerge and create new things. In one way or other, it also helps in many scientific endeavors helped mankind to reach / travel to places that were considered impossible to reach once. It also involves the study of nature with superb details which could be never possible without the use of multiple scientific instruments. 
    History of technology is strongly related with history of science since almost every technology is evolved through various applications of science. It also possesses bonds with economic history since resources are involved in almost any technology. In technology, resources are used to produce improved resources that can be technological artifacts being used in daily life. 
    Present society leaves great influence on technology. It affects the technology and also gets affected in return. Technological change is considered a force that ensures growth in economy and triggers development of power in terms of economy, politics and military as well.

    "Tide, Feather, Snow is about the resplendence and subtleties of coastal Alaska, and about one woman’s attempt to be fully present in them. Weiss serves as a skilled and poetic witness to a place undergoing incessant change." — Anthony Doerr, author of The Shell Collector 
    A memoir of moving to Alaska—and staying—by a writer whose gift for writing about place and natural beauty is reminiscent of John McPhee and Jonathan Raban.An extreme landscape in both its beauty and challenges, Alaska is a place where know-how is currency and a novice's mistakes can be fatal. But it is a place for glorious reinvention—a refuge for those desperate to escape . . . and for those looking for something more.Miranda Weiss, a young woman who grew up landlocked in a well-kept East Coast suburb, moved to Homer, Alaska, with her boyfriend, determined to make a place for herself in this unfamiliar country where the years are marked by seasons of fish, and where locals carry around the knowledge of tides, boats, and weather as ballast. In Tide, Feather, Snow, Weiss introduces readers to the memorable people and peculiar beauty of Alaska's vast landscape, as she takes us along on her remarkable personal journey of adventure, physical challenge, and culture clash.

    In this epochal book, Immanuel Velikovsky, one of the great scientists of modern times, puts the complete histories of our Earth and of humanity on a new basis. He presents the results of his ten-year-long interdisciplinary research in an easily understandable, even entertaining manner. Inspite—or even because—of the disgraceful hostility, provoked by his theories, this book keeps being of ardent topicality, which in the light of recent scientific research is even growing.Earth in Upheaval—a very exactly investigated and easily understandable book—contains material that completely revolutionizes our view of the history of the earth.For all those who have ever wondered about the evolution of the earth, the formation of mountains and oceans, the origin of coal or fossils, the question of the ice ages and the history of animal and plant species, Earth in Upheaval is a must-listen!
