Beschreibung

"Colors That Changed" explores the compelling history of color, revealing its profound impact on science, culture, and technology. From ancient natural dyes derived from plants and minerals to the revolutionary creation of synthetic pigments, the book traces how color has shaped human expression and industrial advancement.

 
Imagine, for instance, how limited the art world was before vibrant, stable pigments were readily available, or how the accidental discovery of mauveine transformed the textile industry, highlighting the significance of scientific innovation in our visual world.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with early uses of color in prehistoric art and rituals, then moves into the scientific breakthroughs that led to synthetic dyes. It emphasizes the cultural significance of specific colors, examining their influence on art, fashion, and even politics. This unique approach, blending science and history, reveals how the pursuit and production of color have been driving forces behind both scientific innovation and cultural transformation.

    The world's leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future 
     
     
     
    In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems. 
     
     
     
    Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality? 
     
     
     
    This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.

    Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
     
     
     
    In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
     
     
     
    Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

    The Pasagoula River is the largest unobstructed river in the continuous United States. Because of this lack of restraint, the river has been left to rise and fall naturally with the seasons, overflowing annually into the adjoining bottomland surrounded by some of the most ecologically diverse woodlands, in North America. 
     
     
     
    Herman Murrah (1935-2022) lived his entire life on the banks and in the swamp surrounding this river in southeast Mississippi. In this book, Herman's eldest son, Davy, details the adventures that continue to inspire young conservationists in the fight to protect our remaining natural ecosystems. 
     
     
     
    As a young adult, Herman worked as a game warden in the Pascagoula River Swamp. When the Pascagoula Hardwood Company, then owners of the swamp, decided to sell the vast tract of forest for clearcutting, Herman was incensed. Determined to protect this natural wonder, Herman teamed up with other visionaries to persuade the State of Mississippi to purchase the land and preserve it in perpetuity. Herman was appointed area manager for the upper portion of the newly designated Pascagoula River Wildlife Management Area. He dedicated the remainder of his life to preserving, protecting, and improving the swamp for the good of south Mississippi.
