Sinopse

"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.

Technology and the Environment -...

Craig Dames

The relationship between technology and the environment is increasingly becoming a focal point in discussions about sustainability and the future of our planet. As the world faces growing environmental challenges, technological innovation plays a crucial role in providing solutions. From renewable energy technologies to smart agricultural practices, technology is being leveraged to address some of the most pressing issues, including climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. However, while technology offers vast potential to mitigate environmental harm, it also raises questions about its impact on natural ecosystems and whether technological advancements always lead to positive outcomes for the environment.
In recent decades, the global focus on environmental sustainability has been paired with rapid technological development. The relationship between the two is dynamic—where technology can either exacerbate environmental issues or serve as the key to solving them. For example, the industrial revolution, powered by fossil fuels and machinery, contributed significantly to environmental degradation, yet the same technological advancements have now paved the way for cleaner, more sustainable solutions. This dual nature of technology’s impact on the environment makes it essential to examine how technology can be harnessed in ways that benefit rather than harm our ecosystems.
One of the key ways technology is addressing environmental challenges is through the development of renewable energy sources. Solar panels, wind turbines, and other green technologies offer cleaner alternatives to the traditional methods of power generation, reducing reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas. These renewable energy solutions have the potential to dramatically reduce carbon emissions, a leading cause of climate change.

Finding Genius: Understanding...

Richard Jacobs

Although there are many books on sleep, THIS book was created to provide 80 unique, new, thought-provoking expert perspectives (I’m not counting myself as an expert, merely the interviewer of the 80 folks listed herein) all in one place. Another important reason for this book? To help people like you who have sleep problems.
Remember when you were younger and you slept like a baby? You could sleep almost anywhere. You laid your head down, closed your eyes, and the next thing you knew, it was time to wake up. You woke up and felt energized, ready for the day ahead.
It may have been years since you slept well, but nearly everyone I’ve known has at least one memory of a great night’s sleep. Now that you’re older, perhaps most nights you sleep well; perhaps, like most, most nights you DON’T sleep well, and if you’re lucky, one night a week you sleep better than the others – but it’s not enough to say that you’re sleeping well consistently.
From my personal experience in improving my sleep, creating a line of custom-tailored head, huggable and knee-to-ankle pillows, and interviewing well over 124 scientists and sleep entrepreneurs, I’ve learned that there is no one thing you can do to improve your sleep 100%.
The reality and the truth of sleeping well? Each tweak to how you sleep and your sleeping conditions will improve your sleep by a few percentage points. The key to sleeping optimally is incorporating multiple ways to improve your sleep. Various improvements – 5% here, 2% there – can add up to a 50% improvement, even an 80% improvement in your sleep.
Everyone has seven nights a week to get good sleep or poor sleep. Imagine how your life will improve when you can go from one good night of sleep a week to three, five, or even six good nights a week.
