Beschreibung

"Time Capsules" explores the captivating world of intentional historical preservation, focusing on vessels buried to communicate with future generations. These caches, filled with carefully selected artifacts, offer unique insights into past societies, revealing their values, hopes, and fears. The book examines how these deliberate burials evolved from rudimentary practices to technologically advanced projects, driven by a growing desire to commemorate progress, especially during the rise of world expositions. Understanding the historical context and motivations behind these capsules allows us to decode the cultural narratives embedded within them.

 
The book argues that these capsules offer uncensored glimpses into the past, surpassing traditional historical accounts by providing direct, unedited testimony. For example, the selection of specific objects reflects a culture's priorities and worldview. Each chapter introduces the concept of time capsules, tracing their origins and motivations, before delving into specific case studies from around the world, including wartime projects and personal legacies. By analyzing the contents of these capsules, the book uncovers nuanced details about daily life, technological advancements, and societal values, offering a unique perspective for history enthusiasts and researchers.

 
The book's approach is fact-based and accessible, avoiding sensationalism while focusing on rigorous interpretation of historical preservation efforts. It progresses by exploring the evolution of time capsules, analyzing their contents, and considering the ethical implications of opening and interpreting them.

    In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions: Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat? Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label? Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox? Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol? Should I be taking vitamin D?

    The true life story of one of early twentieth century's baseball legends—a Most Valuable Player and Hall of Famer who was as difficult as he was talented.A relentless competitor, Rogers Hornsby—arguably the finest right-handed hitter in baseball's history—was supremely successful on the baseball field but, in many ways, a failure off it.In this biography, Charles Alexander turns his skilled eye to this complex individual, weaving the stories of his personal and professional life with a lively history of the sport.“Destined to occupy prominent shelf space in baseball's essential library.” —The Sporting News“The author delves into Hornsby's professional and personal life: his relationship with managers Miller Huggins, Branch Rickey and John McGraw; his scandalous affair and subsequent 20-year marriage to a 'flapper'; his personal prohibition on drinking and smoking; his reluctance to watch movies because they might impinge on his eyesight; and his obsession with horse racing-although he never learned to read a racing form. Alexander reviews Hornsby's successful tenure as player-manager of the Cardinals; his subsequent stints with the Giants, Braves, Cubs and Browns; and his career as manager and coach.” —Publishers Weekly
