Sinopsis

"Rice and Survival" examines rice’s central role in global food security, particularly in crisis regions. The book highlights the biological, historical, and socio-economic factors impacting rice production and distribution. It emphasizes that sustainable rice cultivation is critical for stability and survival, especially where food scarcity exacerbates political and humanitarian crises.

 
Did you know that rice cultivation significantly shaped agrarian societies across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, influencing trade, conflict, and cultural development?

 
The book integrates perspectives from world history, biology, and economics to provide a comprehensive understanding. It explores rice's genetic adaptability, historical significance in agrarian societies, and contemporary challenges like climate change and market volatility.

 
Beginning with an introduction to rice's nutritional value, it progresses through biological aspects, historical impacts, and current challenges, concluding with strategies for improving food security. The approach offers a holistic view, distinguishing it from works focused solely on agricultural techniques or aid.

    In Profit over Privacy, Matthew Crain gives internet surveillance a much-needed origin story by chronicling the development of its most important historical catalyst: web advertising. 
     
     
     
    Profit over Privacy uses the 1990s as its backdrop to show how the massive data-collection infrastructure that undergirds the internet today is the result of twenty-five years of technical and political economic engineering. Crain considers the social causes and consequences of the internet's rapid embrace of consumer monitoring, detailing how advertisers and marketers adapted to the existential threat of the internet and marshaled venture capital to develop the now-ubiquitous business model called "surveillance advertising." He draws on a range of primary resources from government, industry, and the press and highlights the political roots of internet advertising to underscore the necessity of political solutions to reign in unaccountable commercial surveillance. 
     
     
     
    Surveillance advertising is the result of political choices—not the inevitable march of technology. Unlike many other countries, the United States has no internet privacy law. A fascinating prehistory of internet advertising giants like Google and Facebook, Profit over Privacy argues that the internet did not have to turn out this way and that it can be remade into something better.

    Discordance - The Troubled...

    The troubled history of the Hubble constant told in an authoritative, comprehensible, and entertaining manner 
      
    In 1927 Georges Lemaître argued that our universe is expanding, a conclusion rendered more startling by the astronomical data that backed it up, presented two years later by Edwin Hubble. The speed of this expansion is governed by Hubble's constant, and Discordance tells its troubled history. 
      
    This unpredictable and fascinating story begins with the first tentative steps to measure the distances to nearby stars and galaxies. It traces the extraordinary interplay between cosmological theory and astronomical observation which has given us the standard Big Bang theory. It was not all plain sailing, and the narrative takes us through the discovery of dark matter, the Hubble Wars of the 1970s, the invention of cosmic inflation, and other crucial scientific moments. Further satellite missions were expected to add to the clarity of our measurements. But from about 2009 onward, the results began to diverge. This is the Hubble tension and perhaps even a crisis.  
      
    Jim Baggott clearly and entertainingly guides the reader through this gripping scientific voyage—one littered with crises of confidence, astonishing discoveries, and extraordinary personalities—which still continues today. 
      
    "Accessible, highly detailed and demanding—and therefore highly rewarding— … Baggott's well-researched work will be of as much interest to astronomers and physicists as it is to lay readers fascinated by the mysteries of the Universe."— Helge Kragh, Nature
