Made in the USA - The Rise and...

Vaclav Smil

In Made in the USA, Vaclav Smil powerfully rebuts the notion that manufacturing is a relic of predigital history and that the loss of American manufacturing is a desirable evolutionary step toward a pure service economy. Smil argues that no advanced economy can prosper without a strong, innovative manufacturing sector and the jobs it creates. 
 
 
  
Smil explains how manufacturing became a fundamental force behind America's economic, strategic, and social dominance. He describes American manufacturing's rapid rise at the end of the nineteenth century, its consolidation and modernization between the two world wars, its role as an enabler of mass consumption after 1945, and its recent decline. Some economists argue that shipping low-value jobs overseas matters little because the high-value work remains in the United States. But, asks Smil, do we want a society that consists of a small population of workers doing high-value-added work and masses of unemployed? 
 
 
  
Smil assesses various suggestions for solving America’s manufacturing crisis, including lowering corporate tax rates, promoting research and development, and improving public education. Will America act to preserve and reinvigorate its manufacturing? It is crucial to our social and economic well-being; but, Smil warns, the odds are no better than even.

The Physics of Light and Color -...

Mark Hedges

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It is essential for the process of vision and plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. The study of light, known as optics, explores how light behaves, interacts with matter, and is perceived by the human eye. Color, on the other hand, is the result of how light interacts with objects and is perceived by the brain. The interaction between light and matter can produce a wide range of effects, such as reflection, refraction, and dispersion, which give rise to the rich variety of colors we see in the world around us. 
The nature of light can be understood through both particle and wave theories. In the early 20th century, scientists realized that light behaves not only as a wave but also as a particle. This wave-particle duality is one of the key concepts of quantum mechanics, where light exhibits both wave-like properties, such as interference and diffraction, and particle-like properties, such as when it is absorbed or emitted in discrete packets called photons. These photons carry energy and momentum, and their interactions with matter give rise to various phenomena that are central to the physics of light.
