Synopsis

Primitive Tool Making explores the ingenuity behind the creation of early tools, revealing the engineering principles employed by our ancestors from the Paleolithic era through pre-industrial societies. By examining archaeological findings and experimental archaeology, the book uncovers how early humans mastered material selection, construction techniques, and the mechanics of simple tools like levers and wedges to effectively apply force. It delves into how different cultures adapted their tool-making practices to their environments, highlighting the remarkable cognitive abilities that underpinned these innovations. The book uniquely combines archaeological evidence with principles of mechanical engineering and material science to explain the underlying science of these tools. It begins with fundamental concepts of material science and mechanics, progressing through specific tool types categorized by function, such as cutting or scraping. Each section explores materials, construction techniques, and mechanical principles, culminating in a broader perspective on the evolution of tool technology and its impact on human societies. This approach makes Primitive Tool Making valuable for those interested in archaeology, anthropology, and even survival skills, connecting ancient knowledge to modern contexts.

Things That Go Bump in the...

C. Renee James

The violent birth of the universe was only the first bang of a very bumpy ride. This unfathomably cacophonous beginning has spawned blasts, implosions, cosmic cannibalism, collisions, and countless other fleeting energetic events punctuating the cosmos. Although often brief, these transient phenomena pack a powerful punch. 
 
 
 
In Things That Go Bump in the Universe, astronomer and science writer C. Renée James introduces us to her colleagues around the world, who are using pioneering research techniques to explore everything from the very first explosions in the universe to the dark energy that could destroy it all. James describes the history of transient astronomy, how the universe presents itself through various astronomical messengers, and the unexpected connections between different phenomena. James explains a different category of transient event in each chapter, using easy-to-understand metaphors and stories to explain the science behind these awe-inspiring, cosmological encounters. 
 
 
 
Things That Go Bump in the Universe explores the incredible discoveries being made in this revolutionary field, the tools used to detect cosmic events, and the astronomical mysteries that continue to puzzle observers and theorists. James weaves together the stories of our turbulent universe and the people who are trying to make sense of it.

Natural Attachments - The...

Pollyanna Rhee

A nuanced analysis takes a California oil spill as its point of departure to show how affluent homeowners pushed for an environmentalism that would protect not only the earth but also property and community norms. A massive oil spill in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara, California, in 1969 quickly became a landmark in the history of American environmentalism, helping to inspire the creation of both the Environmental Protection Agency and Earth Day. But what role did the history of Santa Barbara itself play in this? As Pollyanna Rhee shows, the city’s past and demographics were essential to the portrayal of the oil spill as momentous. Moreover, well-off and influential Santa Barbarans were positioned to “domesticate” the larger environmental movement by embodying the argument that individual homes and families—not society as a whole—needed protection from environmental abuses. This soon would put environmental rhetoric and power to fundamentally conservative—not radical—ends.
