Sinossi

'A very British love-letter to the beauty of flint' Daily Telegraph
Joanne Bourne has been in awe of flint as long as she can remember.
It was all around her where she grew up in Kent: used for garden walls, to edge drives and weight dustbin lids, as well as to build pubs, churches, Roman villas and castles. For centuries it was the only building stone available.
It is also magical. Made from the remains of plankton and sea sponges, it is second only in hardness to a diamond and can be used to make fire. Part of human development for three million years, it was used as a weapon to hunt and in war, and hung as protection against thunderbolts and fairies.
In a deeply personal love letter to this extraordinary 'biogenic' rock, Bourne traces its geological, architectural and social history and invites us to roam with her in search of it on her beloved North Downs.
Fusing science, poetry, history and a profound love of landscape, this is her heartfelt, thoroughly persuasive tribute to the stone she calls 'an art project of the great divine'.

    In just a few decades, a handful of tech companies have grown from humble beginnings into the most powerful corporations in the world. These tech giants—such as Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta—didn’t just ride the wave of technological advancement; they created it. Their influence now extends far beyond the digital world, reshaping industries, economies, and even the way we live our everyday lives. 
    The journey began in garages and dorm rooms, where innovative minds dreamed big. Apple started in a California garage, Google in a Stanford dorm, and Amazon as an online bookstore. What these companies shared was a willingness to challenge existing norms and reimagine how technology could serve people. Their founders—visionaries like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg—helped pioneer bold ideas and new ways of thinking that forever changed the tech landscape.  
    Key moments in tech history marked pivotal shifts. The launch of the iPhone in 2007 revolutionized the way we interact with technology, putting the power of computing into our pockets. Google’s search engine transformed the internet into an organized, navigable space. Amazon redefined convenience with fast, efficient online shopping and then changed the game again with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leader in cloud computing. Microsoft, once synonymous with desktop computing, adapted to lead in software, enterprise services, and gaming. Meta, originally Facebook, reshaped how we connect and share online.
