Sinossi

"Modern Adjustments" explores the fascinating evolution of global timekeeping, revealing the hidden scientific and historical forces that shape our daily lives. The book examines ongoing adjustments to our calendrical systems, like leap years and leap seconds, which are vital for maintaining astronomical accuracy. Did you know that without these seemingly minor corrections, our calendars would drift significantly over time, eventually misaligning with the seasons? The book also delves into the relatively recent history of time zone standardization and its profound impact on international communication and global commerce. These zones, while appearing straightforward, are the result of complex negotiations and agreements, reflecting the interconnectedness of our modern world. The text progresses through key concepts, the history of calendar reform, and potential future scenarios, offering a comprehensive view of time standardization. This book uniquely emphasizes the dynamic interplay between scientific accuracy, historical context, and practical considerations in global timekeeping. It's not just a technical overview but an exploration of how these factors shape our understanding of time. By drawing upon historical documents, scientific publications, and international data "Modern Adjustments" connects astronomy, history, and economics to provide a rich, accessible narrative for anyone interested in the science and history behind our calendars and clocks.

    The world is desperate for cobalt. It drives the proliferation of digital and clean technologies. But this "demon metal" has a horrific present and a troubled history. 
     
     
     
    The modern search for cobalt has brought investors back to a small town in Northern Canada, a place called Cobalt. Like the demon metal, this town has a dark and turbulent history. 
     
     
     
    The tale of the early-twentieth-century mining rush at Cobalt has been told as a settle's adventure, but Indigenous people had already been trading in metals from the region for two thousand years. And the events that happened here—the theft of Indigenous lands, the exploitation of a multicultural workforce, and the destruction of the natural environment—established a template for resource extraction that has been exported around the world. 
     
      
     
    Charlie Angus reframes the complex and intersectional history of Cobalt within a broader international frame—from the conquistadores to the Western gold rush to the struggles in the Democratic Republic of Congo today. He demonstrates how Cobalt set Canada on its path to become the world's dominant mining superpower.
