Sinossi

Ropes That Saved unveils the remarkable history of rope, a seemingly simple tool that has profoundly influenced human progress. From ancient civilizations to modern engineering, rope has played a critical role in survival, construction, and exploration. This book emphasizes rope's crucial function across nautical history, rescue operations, and its evolution through mechanical engineering.

 
The book explores the evolution of rope-making techniques, detailing how tensile strength and knot theory have allowed for complex systems of sailing and lifesaving. The book begins by introducing basic rope-making techniques and materials, then it delves into the rope's use in maritime history, construction, and rescue operations. It highlights how ropes have been used to lift materials for buildings and secure sailing vessels.

 
Understanding the history of ropes provides a new perspective on the ingenuity and resilience required for human advancement. This book stands out for its comprehensive scope, covering rope applications across various disciplines and historical periods. Through diverse evidence, including ship logs and archaeological findings, Ropes That Saved offers an engaging narrative accessible to history enthusiasts, engineers, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and human experience.

    The Book Of Earths

    This is a compendium of theories of the shape of the Earth, along with a great deal of 'Earth Mystery' lore. Richly illustrated, the Book of Earths includes many unusual theories, including Columbus' idea that the Earth is literally pear-shaped, modern theories that the Earth was originally tetrahedral, and so on. Kenton also covers many traditional theories including the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, Hindu and Buddhist cosmology, and those of the Peruvians, Aztecs and Mongols. She also discusses modern alternative theories such as that of Reed and Koresh. Strangely enough, she misses or ignores the modern flat earth theory of Rowbotham. This is the only apparent omission in this definitive study. Kenton has no apparent axe to grind: this is simply a very readable survey of the literature if you have any interest in 'Earth mysteries"

    A Brief History of Creation -...

    How did life begin? 
    It is perhaps the most important question science has ever asked. Over the centuries, the search for an answer has been entwined with some of science’s most revolutionary advances, including van Leeuwenhoek’s microscope, Darwin’s theory of evolution, and Crick and Watson’s unveiling of DNA. Now, in an age of genetic engineering and space exploration, some scientists believe they are on the verge of creating life from nonliving elements and that our knowledge of the potential for life on other planets is ever-expanding. In the midst of these exciting developments, A Brief History of Creation provides an essential and illuminating history of Western science, tracing the trials and triumphs of the iconoclastic scientists who have sought to uncover the mystery of how life first came to be. 
    Authors Bill Mesler and H. James Cleaves II examine historical discoveries in the context of philosophical debates, political change, and our evolving understanding of the complexity of biology. The story they tell is rooted in metaphysical arguments, in a changing understanding of the age of the earth, and even in the politics of the Cold War. It has involved exploration into the inner recesses of our cells and scientific journeys to the farthest reaches of outer space. This elegantly written narrative culminates in an analysis of modern models for life’s genesis, such as the possibility that some of the earliest life was composed of little more than RNA, and that life arose around deep-sea hydrothermal vents or even on other planets, only to be carried to the earth on meteorites. 
    Can we ever conclusively prove how life began? A Brief History of Creation is a fascinating exploration not only of the origin-of-life question but of the very nature of scientific objectivity and the process of scientific discovery.
