Sinopse

"Medieval Crop Machines" explores the mechanical ingenuity applied to agriculture during the medieval period, revealing a landscape of innovation often overshadowed by traditional historical narratives. From the 5th to the 15th centuries, advancements in planting, harvesting, threshing, and winnowing technologies significantly boosted agricultural output, supporting growing populations.

 
One intriguing aspect is the medieval understanding and application of mechanical principles such as levers and gears, adapting them to create functional crop machines despite limited resources. These machines, though simple by modern standards, demonstrate a clear grasp of mechanical advantage and power transmission.

 
The book approaches its subject by first laying a foundation of relevant mechanical concepts before progressing chronologically and thematically. Beginning with early planting technologies, the book transitions to reaping and harvesting machines, then delves into the intricacies of threshing and winnowing devices.

 
The book examines these devices' impact on medieval agrarian economies and their legacy in subsequent agricultural innovations. By drawing from illuminated manuscripts, agricultural treatises, and archaeological findings, the book offers a unique perspective on medieval agricultural technology, highlighting its mechanical aspects and practical applications.

Socrates Meets Hume - The Father...

Peter Kreeft

In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines David Hume, the father of modern skepticism and author of An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, exploring human knowledge, causality, miracles, and the idea of the self.

Sedition - How America's...

Marcus Alexander Gadson

Since protestors ripped through the Capitol Building in 2021, the threat of constitutional crisis has loomed over our nation. The foundational tenets of American democracy seem to be endangered, and many citizens believe this danger is unprecedented in our history. But Americans have weathered many constitutional crises, often accompanied by the same violence and chaos experienced on January 6. However, these crises occurred on the state level. In Sedition, Marcus Alexander Gadson uncovers these episodes of civil unrest and examines how state governments handled them. 
 
 
 
Sedition takes listeners through six instances of constitutional crisis: The Buckshot War, Dorr's Rebellion, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Baxter War, a successful terrorist campaign to overthrow South Carolina's government during Reconstruction, and the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898. He chronicles these turbulent periods of violent anti-government conflict on the state level, explaining what it was like to experience coup d'états, rival governments fighting in the streets, and disputed elections that gave way to violence. As he addresses constitutional breakdown, Gadson urges Americans to pay increased attention to the risk of constitutional instability in their home states. His sweeping historical analysis provides new insights on the fight to protect democracy today.
