Synopsis

Key Lock History explores how mechanical security systems have shaped our understanding of privacy and protection, tracing the evolution of locks from ancient times to the modern era. It highlights how the development of lock technology is intertwined with the very concept of privacy it seeks to protect. For example, early pin tumbler locks in ancient Egypt demonstrate an early desire to safeguard personal belongings, while the mass production of locks during the Industrial Revolution made security more widely accessible. 

 
The book examines not only the technological advancements in lock design, but also the societal impact of these security measures and the philosophical evolution of privacy. Starting with ancient civilizations and progressing chronologically through the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution, the book investigates the core argument that lock design is intrinsically linked to societal values concerning ownership, trust, and individual autonomy. By blending technical descriptions with social context, Key Lock History offers a unique perspective on how technology, society, and individual rights are intertwined.

The Fourth Coming - How God...

Francis Keith Robins

In a time of dire need, as climate change, conflict, and economic upheaval imperil our existence and our mental well-being deteriorates from not utilising our minds as God intended, Francis Keith Robins introduces a groundbreaking approach to saving humanity – reshaping our thought processes through mathematics.
 
In his book, The Fourth Coming, Robins provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to unlocking our inherent mathematical potential. His vision is to create a society that is inclusive, equal, and peaceful – one that aligns with God’s desire for us. He advocates for a paradigm shift where shared mathematical models and systematic thinking supplant the ineffective classes of governments and institutions currently jeopardizing our planet. This revolutionary approach aims to alter the trajectory of human history in a manner that aligns with divine intentions. 
 
Robins’ theories, described as a work of mathematical brilliance, offer a refreshingly simple yet profound solution to consciousness – which, as noted by ‘New Scientist’, remains one of the most elusive and significant mysteries in science and philosophy. Furthermore, he concludes that the introduction of religion by God was a response to 
humanity’s failure to use their brains as He intended.

Comet Madness - How the 1910...

Richard J. Goodrich

Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed comets were evil portents. In 1705, Edmond Halley liberated humanity from these primordial superstitions, proving that Newtonian mechanics rather than the will of the gods brought comets into our celestial neighborhood. Despite this scientific advance, when Halley's Comet returned in 1910, newspapers gleefully provoked a global hysteria that unfolded with tragic consequences. 
 
 
 
In Comet Madness, author and historian Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halley's Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception. 
 
 
 
As the comet neared Earth, scientists and journalists alike scrambled to get the story straight as citizens the world over panicked. 
 
 
 
As a result, workmen shelved their tools, farmers refused to plant crops they would never harvest, and formerly reliable people stopped paying their creditors. Others suffered mental breakdowns, and some took their own lives. 
 
 
 
Comet Madness reveals how humans confront the unknown, how scientists learn about the world we inhabit, and how certain people—from outright hucksters to opportunistic journalists—harness fear to produce a profit.
