Sinossi

"Clock Time Control" explores how standardized time, initially a neutral tool, has profoundly shaped society and individual lives. The book examines the historical evolution of timekeeping, from ancient methods to modern atomic clocks, revealing how clock time revolutionized maritime navigation by enabling accurate longitude determination, and how it coordinated industrial production, impacting work patterns globally. The book delves into the social impact of technology, particularly how standardized time, driven by economic and political forces, has influenced our work-life balance and even our circadian rhythms. It highlights the shift from localized, natural time to an abstract system, arguing that this transition has, in some ways, alienated us from the environment. 

 
The book progresses by first tracing the history of timekeeping, then analyzing its impact on navigation and industry, and finally, exploring its effects on human consciousness and behavior. Uniquely, "Clock Time Control" combines historical analysis with contemporary scientific insights, presenting an interdisciplinary view that connects sociology, environmental science, and economics. It examines the subtle ways clock-based systems influence our cognitive well-being, offering a nuanced understanding of time's multifaceted impact and encouraging readers to consider alternative ways of managing time in a modern world.

Turn It Up! - My Time Making Hit...

Tom Werman

As an A&R man at Epic Records, Tom Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. Then, as an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Lita Ford, Jeff Beck, Poison, and many more. All in all, his record-making résumé includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and cumulative sales of more than fifty-two million copies. 
 
 
 
After bearing witness to several sea changes in the music industry, Werman retired from producing in 2001 and reinvented himself as an award-winning innkeeper in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. And that might have been that—until an off-the-cuff rebuttal to a disparaging critique of his role in making the Mötley Crüe album Girls, Girls, Girls on a music website led to a fortnightly column and now this book—an honest and engaging insider account on how some of the best-loved albums of the 1970s and '80s came to be. A must for anyone interested in the glory days of rock and metal, Turn It Up! offers valuable insights into the recording process, the recording studio, the role of the producer, and the production values that are essential to the creation of a hit record.

Beneath The Radar

N Jessop

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In her deeply personal memoir, Beneath the Radar, Naomi Jessop takes readers on an intimate journey through the labyrinth of her life—a path marked by judgment, influence, and the often painful process of carving out an identity distinct from the narratives imposed upon her. 
 
Exploring struggles with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, this memoir sheds light on the dark corners of the mind and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. It also dives into the complexities of LGBTQ+ identity and self-acceptance in a world that often resists both. 
 
At its heart, Beneath the Radar is a story about family—about longing for connection, navigating fractured relationships, and finding love and understanding amidst chaos. 
 
With unflinching honesty and emotional depth, Naomi reveals what it truly means to grow, heal, and find yourself in a world eager to define you. 
 
Beneath the Radar is more than a memoir—it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, mislabelled, or misplaced. It’s an invitation to see the human story beneath the surface—and a testament to the strength it takes to rise, to speak, and to be seen.

Crypto Investment

Isidore Weeks

Investing in cryptocurrency can offer several potential benefits such as high volatility leading to potentially high returns, increased accessibility and 24/7 trading, and the potential for digital currencies to become widely adopted as a new asset class. Additionally, blockchain technology underlying cryptocurrencies offers secure and transparent transactions. However, it is important to thoroughly research and understand the risks involved before investing, as the market is highly volatile and not backed by any government.
