Sinossi

Clay Pipe Making unveils the fascinating history of clay pipes, a once-common artifact reflecting significant aspects of British history, rural economies, and artisanal skills. This book explores the intricate process of crafting these tobacco pipes, emphasizing the pivotal role of family trade in sustaining this historical craft. Readers will discover how the surge in tobacco use directly influenced pipe production and gain insights into the morphology of pipes as indicators of regional production. The book uniquely presents the material culture and economic history through the lens of social cohesion within families, revealing how skills were passed down through generations.

 
Beginning with raw materials and tools, the narrative progresses step-by-step through the making, molding, and firing of clay pipes. It highlights regional variations and then shifts to the family unit, detailing labor division among its members. Ultimately, Clay Pipe Making analyzes the industry's decline due to changing habits and competition. By drawing on archaeological finds, historical documents, and oral histories, the book offers a detailed account appealing to historians, craft enthusiasts, and those interested in traditional trades.

    Taste in Music - Eating on Tour...

    Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along—food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. 
     
     
     
    Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. 
     
     
     
    So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Every person yearns to become a professional figure as he grows up. As children, we dream of being different figures, police officers, firefighters, soldiers, driving ships, planes, large trucks, and all kinds of jobs that take us to adventure. That is precisely what we are looking for, the adventure of living experiences. 
    	Being an airplane pilot is one of the main dreams that often surround children, dreams that perhaps, with the course of childhood, are transformed into different professions, or perhaps a dream that pursues us until adolescence, where we already at a higher degree of professional consciousness we decided to become airplane pilots. 
    	In this wonderful work, I will teach you everything you need to learn to become an airplane pilot, without taking "false steps", walking the right path, and doing everything you need to do to achieve it. 
    	It is not an aeronautical technical book, but a guide that will help you discover your career, navigate it, and know the right way to become a successful professional pilot.

    The environmental crisis will not be solved by battery technology. We are looking for answers in the wrong places. 
     
    Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production. 
     
    In this fascinating and illuminating book, Peter Forbes shines a light on this crucial technology and offers a tantalising glimpse at what is possible. To solve the big problems, sometimes you have to think small.
