Beschreibung

Evolution of Scythes explores the surprisingly influential history of the scythe, a tool that shaped agricultural practices, social structures, and even warfare. This book traces the scythe’s journey from its rudimentary origins to its widespread use as a primary harvesting implement across diverse cultures. Discover how this seemingly simple tool played a crucial role in the evolution of agricultural technology and profoundly impacted human civilization.

The book examines the scythe’s technological evolution, its socio-economic impact on rural societies, and its varied cultural symbolism. Beginning with the pre-scythe era and the tools that preceded it, such as sickles and reaping hooks, the book explores how environmental factors, social needs, and cultural adaptations shaped the scythe's form and function.

Through historical records, ethnographic studies, and cultural artifacts, Evolution of Scythes offers a holistic understanding of the scythe's enduring legacy. The book is carefully structured, first introducing the basic types of scythes and their components, before moving into their historical development. Later sections cover the socio-economic impacts, and then cultural dimensions, examining the symbolism of the scythe in art, literature, and folklore.

This interdisciplinary approach, combined with an accessible yet academically rigorous tone, makes this book a valuable read for anyone interested in agricultural history, technology, or the social and cultural history of rural life.

Artificial Intelligence -...

J.C.Lesko

Artificial intelligence has been a cornerstone of human imagination for decades. Once a concept limited to the realms of science fiction, it has now become a pervasive reality. From the devices in our homes to the algorithms shaping industries, AI is redefining what is possible, often faster than we can adapt. It is a technology that excites, inspires, and sometimes unnerves us – capturing the promise of innovation and the challenges of profound change. 
As the author of this book, my journey into the world of AI began with a simple question: What does it mean for humanity to coexist with intelligent technology? This question led me down a path of discovery, one that revealed not only the fascinating mechanics of AI but also the intricate interplay between technology and society. 
This book is not an argument for or against artificial intelligence. It is an exploration – a chance to understand how AI emerged, how it works, and what its presence means for our world.  
Whether you are a curious learner, a technology enthusiast, or someone navigating AI’s growing presence in everyday life, this book is for you.

999 Inside Death Row in the...

Arnaud Gaillard

On death row, the poorest and most numerous, with no family and no decent lawyer, are sometimes executed before all their appeals have been exhausted. Their fate consigned to modest prison cemeteries. In Texas, the number engraved on the cement stone begins with 999.
Out of 50 American states, 34 still have the death penalty. Why and how? The author's investigation took him to California, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. A human immersion into the heart of American society and its judicial system, through encounters with death row inmates, lawyers and victims' families.
This fascinating book finely deconstructs the American myth of fair and infallible justice—from the deplorable conditions of confinement to daily abuse, from random legal recourse to political and judicial manipulation. More than just a sentence, the death penalty appears to be torture with many faces. And in an America on the move, there are signs that abolition is on the way. 
999, is the fruit of a fact-finding mission carried out by the French association, Ensemble contre la peine de mort (ECPM), with financial support from the European Union.

Direct Perception is Freedom -...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

". Direct perception is freedom - 10 February 1971 
• Can the mind living in this world ever be free, not only superficially but 
profoundly, at the very root of its existence? 
• ‘Freedom from’ is an abstraction, but freedom in observing ‘what is’ and going 
beyond it is actual freedom. 
How do I observe greed? Do I observe it as an outsider looking in or do I observe it without the observer? 
Without the mind being free you cannot live in order. 
Q: Three years have passed; I have no energy to be aware of my reactions. Q: Can we seek God through observation?"
