Beschreibung

"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.

    Subjectified is a book about subjects, objects, and verbs. It is also a book about clothing-optional resorts, masturbation circles, and sex parties. 
     
     
     
    Suzannah Weiss takes the listener through her adventures as a sex and relationship writer to explore how we can create a world with less objectification and more subjectification—placing women and other marginalized groups in the subject role of sentences and actions. Offering a deeply personal critique of sexual empowerment movements, Weiss presents a way forward that focuses on what women desire, not what men desire from them. Subjectified calls for women everywhere to inhabit their bodies and hearts—to look through their own eyes and speak as "I." 
     
     
     
    The book is for everybody wanting to understand themselves as subjects. Wholeheartedly, the author invites you to follow her search for subjecthood and, should you desire, forge your own path out of objecthood.

    This is the story of one of Australia's first true heroes Pemulwuy. A proud and feared Aboriginal warrior Pemulwuy leads an uncompromising twelve-year war against British colonial oppression and makes the supreme sacrifice in order to guide his people to safety.Most histories of Australia start with the First Fleet and the hard times the colonists had with the climate and unruly convicts. Very few mention what really happened or the blood that was spilled in the wars never spoken of.Pemulwuy a Bidjigal man unites the neighbouring peoples runaway convicts bushrangers and an escaped African known as Black Caesar in a guerilla war that pushes the invading English to the brink. This novel was conceived out of Pemulwuy's legend and the historical events between 1788 and 1802. It is a story that all Australians should know.'This is more than a novel, more than a story, it is the Big Bang: where the idea of Australia starts.' Stan Grant

    Movies under the Influence charts the entangled histories of moviegoing and mind-altering substances from early cinema through the psychedelic 1970s. Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece examines how the parallel trajectories of these two aspects of American culture resulted in them being treated and regulated in similar ways. Rather than looking at drug use within film, she regards cinema and intoxicants as kindred experiences of immersion that have been subject to corresponding forces of ideology and power. 
     
     
     
    Szczepaniak-Gillece demonstrates how American movie theaters sought to cultivate a dual identity, presenting themselves as both a place of wholesome entertainment and a zone of illicit behavior. Movies under the Influence highlights the legislative, legal, and corporate powers that held sway over theaters, locating the convergence of moviegoing and drug use as a site of mediation and social control. 
     
     
     
    As much as substances and cinema are points where power intervenes, they are also settings of potential transcendence, and Movies under the Influence maintains this paradox as a necessary component of American film history. This book examines the relationship intoxicants suggest between mass media, spectatorship, and governmental regulation and provides a new angle from which to understand cinema's lasting role in evolving American culture.

    In this guide about critical thinking skills, the author starts out by explaining what critical thinking is, and where it came from. She then quickly proceeds to name some important critical thinking traits, such as inductive and deductive reasoning (some of the best-known ones), skepticism, and analytical skills. 
    So what are the uses of these skills? How do they contradict our emotions? And how can we become more intelligent human beings by applying them? 
    Rational thinking has become a more embraced concept, but if this is true, is there also room for intuition? These are some of the questions that will be answered here. The author will also show how biases and presumptions based on past experiences get in our way of attributing the right consequences to the right causes, and which arguments are valid in which kinds of circumstances. 
    Be one of the few who takes the critical thinking concept seriously and start reading or listening today!
