Sinopse

Imperial Roads explores the pivotal role of ancient road systems in shaping civilizations, focusing on their advanced engineering and impact on empire building. These meticulously constructed networks, far from simple pathways, were vital arteries for trade, military control, and communication. They underpinned the economic and political stability of empires like the Roman, Persian, and Inca, demonstrating how infrastructure projects can have transformative effects. One intriguing insight is how standardized road construction techniques, including surveying and drainage, enabled efficient resource distribution and troop movement across vast territories. The book argues that sophisticated road networks were central to the rise and sustenance of empires, challenging the conventional focus on military conquest as the sole driver of imperial success. It presents evidence from archaeological findings and historical records, offering a comprehensive understanding of how engineering, economics, politics, and culture intersected in the development of these "imperial roads". The book progresses by detailing engineering techniques, examining economic and military functions, and analyzing social and cultural impacts, ultimately demonstrating the enduring relevance of ancient road construction principles on modern infrastructure.

    Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste. With wry and brilliant writing, ​Cassanda Marketos brings the culture, beauty, community, and philosophy of compost to life in this one-of-a-kind, inventive work of narrative nonfiction that brings compost out of the dark ages and into the contemporary moment. Delightfully philosophical and inviting, it is an accessible guide to everything you need to know about compost, with actionable advice for beginners and experienced composters. You will learn why compost works, where to put your compost, how to pick your compost set up, the basics of decomposition, what to put in a compost pile, where to source your compost materials, and how to build a pile. With insights on what tools to consider, how to deal with odors, insects, and other critters, and transitioning your compost pile for colder weather, find easy-to-follow compost pile designs, tips on composting in small spaces, composting with worms, and how to compost things you're always told you can't (you just need to know how). This book has something for everyone, at any stage in their compost journey, and includes edgy, delightful illustrations by the artist Sludge Thunder throughout. And...it's literally compostable. Read it, follow the advice, and toss it into your compost pile.

    Several years ago, I was approached by Carolyn Wyman, author of “The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book” to write a book about Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies.  I am co-founder of Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies with my husband, but no one starts a company alone.  I told her that Otis Spunkmeyer was about many things besides cookies, and I wrote stories to prove it.  Carolyn agreed, indicating my most fascinating stories had nothing to do with cookies.  She suggested I compile my “you can’t make this up” stories of improbable possibilities.  
    My entrepreneurial stories are of Robert C. Brown and Company, investment advisors, and Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies and Burritos.  Triple 888 Manufacturing, the sheet metal company that created the oven to bake Otis Spunkmeyer cookies.  Sentimental Journeys, the DC3 airline that promoted Otis Spunkmeyer.  New Shoes, Old Souls Dance Company, Yoga Garden Dancers, Heterodoxy Magazine, and George Magazine.  Yes, I did meet with John F. Kennedy Jr., to incubate George.  I also took Joe DiMaggio to Las Vegas and Van Morrison sang “Moondance” to me.  Albert Einstein is one of my heroes.  I have daughters.  These narratives are a memorialization of my improbable possibilities.  My spaghetti-walling spirit propagated waves. 
    The most powerful quantum computers can’t negotiate infinite waves of possibilities.  Artificial intelligence generates probable possibilities.  Human intelligence imagines improbable possibilities.  Artificial intelligence exists on codes and algorithms.  Human intelligence is nurtured by thinking with thoughtfulness.  It actualizes imagination, and spaghetti-walls improbable possibilities. 
    This is not a treatise on mindfulness.  It is not an AI bashing, or a self-help book.  Primarily, I am spaghetti-walling this book to entertain you.  I’ve been determined to make waves.

    Physics is the branch of science that seeks to understand the fundamental principles governing the universe. It explores the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, and investigates the forces and interactions that shape the behavior of physical systems. Physics provides the foundation for understanding natural phenomena, from the motion of celestial bodies to the behavior of subatomic particles. It is both a theoretical and experimental science, combining mathematical models with empirical observations to describe and predict physical behavior. 
    The origins of physics can be traced back to ancient Greece, where philosophers such as Aristotle and Democritus speculated about the nature of matter and motion. However, modern physics began to take shape during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries with the work of Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Sir Isaac Newton. Galileo introduced the concept of systematic experimentation and mathematical analysis, while Kepler’s laws of planetary motion provided empirical support for the heliocentric model of the solar system. Newton’s formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation established a comprehensive framework for understanding the mechanics of bodies in motion. 
    Physics is traditionally divided into classical and modern physics. Classical physics encompasses theories developed before the 20th century, including Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, and classical electromagnetism. Newtonian mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects using concepts such as force, mass, and acceleration. Thermodynamics studies the relationships between heat, work, and energy, while classical electromagnetism, formulated by James Clerk Maxwell, explains the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with charged particles.
