Sinopse

Cotton and Innovation reveals the surprising and pervasive role of cotton in shaping our world, arguing that this seemingly simple fiber has been a catalyst for innovation across science, history, and technology. The book explores how cotton's unique properties, derived from plant biology and material science, have fueled advancements far beyond textiles, including unexpected applications in medical technologies and sustainable materials. Readers will discover how cotton's accessibility spurred inventions from the cotton gin, which revolutionized production, to advanced wound dressings, impacting both economies and individual well-being. The book examines cotton's pivotal role in economic growth, particularly during the Industrial Revolution, while also addressing the social structures and ethical implications tied to its cultivation and trade. It progresses from the botany of cotton and its advantages over other natural fibers to the historical development of cotton cultivation and its modern applications in medicine, engineering, and environmental science. By highlighting cotton as a driver of innovation, rather than just a commodity, the book offers a fresh perspective on its overlooked contributions to progress. The study is structured into three parts, exploring cotton's botanical and material science, its historical influence on economic and social structures, and its contemporary applications. By bridging gaps between scientific understanding and historical context, Cotton and Innovation provides valuable insights for researchers in textile science, economic history, and materials engineering, while also appealing to anyone interested in the history of technology and the global impact of everyday materials.

    "I was a slave yesterday, and am a man today."
    
    In this gripping and sophisticated sequel to his first narrative, Frederick Douglass provides a panoramic view of his life. My Bondage and My Freedom doesn't just chronicle the brutality of the plantation; it explores the psychological mechanisms of oppression and the profound intellectual awakening that led Douglass to strike for his freedom. From his childhood on Maryland's Eastern Shore to his rise as a world-renowned orator and leader of the abolitionist movement, Douglass's story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit. He courageously exposes the "slave-holding religion" of the South and the persistent prejudices of the North, offering a roadmap for justice that remains startlingly relevant.
    
    A Voice of Radical Intellectualism: Unlike his first book, this volume shows Douglass as a fully independent thinker who has broken away from his early mentors to forge his own path. He analyzes how slavery dehumanizes both the enslaved and the master, arguing that freedom is not merely the absence of chains, but the presence of equal rights and self-sovereignty.
    
    The Power of Literacy: Douglass famously recounts how learning to read was his "pathway from slavery to freedom." He describes the mental transformation that occurred when he realized that the power to describe his own experience was the first step toward reclaiming his humanity.
    
    Why It Is Essential: My Bondage and My Freedom is a foundational text of American identity. It is a work of high literary merit and a searing indictment of systemic injustice. To read Douglass is to witness the transformation of a "piece of property" into one of the most eloquent and influential voices in history.

    Hello (And Goodbye) To All That...

    Raised in suburban Chicago, Jonathan Liebson grew up hearing fabled stories about his father's childhood in New York. The Manhattan and Queens of his father's past, and the Lower East Side of his immigrant grandfather, always shimmered in the background—until one day Jonathan finally moved there himself. This was right on the cusp of the twenty-first century: the dawn of a new millennium. The city raced headlong into an era of cellphones, the internet, and many other unpredictable changes. Over time, New York would be wracked by 9/11, a Great Recession, a great hurricane, and a great pandemic—plus much more. Hello (and Goodbye) to All That is a memoir that recounts the indelible ties Jonathan would forge in his father's city, and his up-close view of profound historical episodes. The memoir plays off Joan Didion's famous essay "Goodbye to All That," where she describes the exciting yet fleeting experience of living in New York. In contrast, Jonathan's memoir provides a narrative about the city's permanence: it tells an intergenerational story of father and son that reveals a mutual connection to a constantly changing, often-troubled, yet still-dynamic city—and to the larger American history it comprises.

    Monsters of the Upside Down, beware! Travis Langley (author of the acclaimed Batman and Psychology) returns with a group of expert contributors to explore these and other questions to shine a light on true human nature through the Netflix series and cultural phenomenon Stranger Things. When do feelings of grief, guilt, depression, fear, and isolation tear us down, and how do we transform them into hope, inspiration, forgiveness, acceptance, and motivation to do what's right? Growing up is hard enough without metaphors for the dangers that lurk in life's shadows springing to life in the form of monsters, villains, conspiracies, and enemy soldiers. Stranger Things Psychology: Life Upside Down descends into the dark side of adolescence to find the light on the other side of the ultimate coming-of-age story.
