Sinopsis

"Hellenistic Science" examines the often-overlooked scientific advancements of the Hellenistic period, a time of cultural exchange following Alexander the Great. It argues that this era wasn't a decline from classical Greece but a unique transformation, emphasizing empirical observation and mathematical modeling. The book highlights breakthroughs in mathematics, physics, and medicine, showing how Hellenistic thinkers moved beyond philosophical speculation to create empirically grounded models. For instance, the establishment of the Library of Alexandria fostered collaboration, enabling significant progress in various fields.

 
The book progresses by first setting the geopolitical stage, then delving into the lives and works of key figures like Euclid and Archimedes, showcasing their contributions to geometry and mechanics. It also explores medical advancements, such as the anatomical studies of Herophilus and Erasistratus. By examining the interconnectedness of different scientific disciplines, "Hellenistic Science" provides a fresh perspective on the intellectual foundations of modern science. It demonstrates how mathematical innovations informed advancements in astronomy and how anatomical discoveries influenced medical practice, ultimately challenging conventional narratives about this pivotal era.

    Barons - Money Power and the...

    Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
     
     
     
    Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
     
     
     
    These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.

    When the tech platforms promised a future of "connection," they were lying. They said their "walled gardens" would keep us safe, but those were prison walls. 
    The platforms locked us into their systems and made us easy pickings, ripe for extaction. Twitter, Facebook and other Big Tech platforms hard to leave by design. They hold hostage the people we love, the communities that matter to us, the audiences and customers we rely on. The impossibility of staying connected to these people after you delete your account has nothing to do with technological limitations: it's a business strategy in service to commodifying your personal life and relationships. 
    We can - we must - dismantle the tech platforms. In The Internet Con, Cory Doctorow explains how to seize the means of computation, by forcing Silicon Valley to do the thing it fears most: interoperate. Interoperability will tear down the walls between technologies, allowing users leave platforms, remix their media, and reconfigure their devices without corporate permission. 
    Interoperability is the only route to the rapid and enduring annihilation of the platforms. The Internet Con is the disassembly manual we need to take back our internet.
