Synopsis

“Crystal Skulls” tackles the enduring mystery of these captivating objects, investigating whether they are ancient Mesoamerican relics or more recent creations. The book uniquely combines scientific materials analysis with historical research to challenge popular beliefs about the skulls' origins. For instance, electron microscopy reveals tool marks inconsistent with pre-Columbian technology, and crystallographic studies compare the skulls' structures with known quartz sources. 

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an overview of the history and associated myths of crystal skulls. It then delves into the scientific techniques used to analyze the skulls, followed by an examination of historical documentation. This approach reveals the likely origins of the skulls to be 19th-century European workshops, reframing them within the context of art history and commercial trade rather than ancient civilizations. The investigation also sheds light on the history of art collecting and the relationship between indigenous communities and European markets.

    The fascinating inside story of how the Android operating system came to be. 
     
     
     
    In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software but couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, delivering an operating system (including camera software) to over 3 billion devices worldwide. This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. 
     
     
     
    Androids: The Team that Built the Android Operating System is a first-hand chronological account of how the startup began, how the team came together, and how they all built an operating system from the kernel level to its applications, and everything in between. It describes the tenuous beginnings of this ambitious project as a tiny startup, then as a small acquisition by Google that took on an industry with strong, entrenched competition. Author Chet Haase joined the Android team at Google in May 2010 and later recorded conversations with team members to preserve the early days of Android's history leading to the launch of 1.0. This engaging and accessible book captures the developers' stories in their own voices to answer the question: How did Android succeed?
