Sinopsis

Wedge Splits Wood explores the surprising depth behind a seemingly simple tool: the axe. It examines how the mechanics of a wedge, a basic principle of applied physics, have shaped human history and continue to influence modern technology.

 
Delving into the history of axes reveals how their designs evolved over millennia, impacting fields from shipbuilding to forestry.

 
The book highlights how a small input force, when properly applied through a wedge, can generate a much larger output, enabling the splitting of tough materials like wood.

 
The book approaches its subject through a multidisciplinary lens, bridging history, mechanical engineering, and anthropology.

 
It begins with the physics of wedges, moves to the historical evolution of the axe from the Stone Age to modern times, and then examines the cultural significance of wood splitting in various societies.

 
It reveals the cultural impact of axes, noting how wood splitting has shaped rituals and traditions across different societies.

 
The book culminates by discussing modern applications of wedge mechanics in areas like construction and medicine.

    Marriage, relationships, and interpersonal relationships have changed for black women, and it is apparent that many of them are becoming victims of domestic violence than ever before. Police stations and court dockets are replete with black men and women who have violently disagreed and have to undergo therapy to mend their violent misunderstandings. The main tragedy is that many back women and young girls are dying because of domestic violence. Young black girls who have not tasted the beautiful air of progress and success in life are dying as young black boys release their rage upon them without remorse. Why are there so many women being victims of violence in their communities? Some would say that black women themselves are responsible for the majority of the cases that leave them victims of violence. And if this is true, what has become of the black families that raise these young beautiful black women? In addition, this book expounds on real issues that carefully look at black women as victims of domestic violence and black women who are perpetrators of domestic violence.

    As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
     
     
     
    With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
     
     
     
    In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.
