Sinopse

Nail Building Essential explores the surprisingly significant history of nail manufacturing, revealing how this seemingly simple object has profoundly shaped construction, architecture, and even economic development. From individually crafted pieces by blacksmiths to mass-produced products of the Industrial Revolution, the book traces the nail's technological journey. Readers will discover how the scarcity of nails influenced early building practices, necessitating innovative joinery techniques, and how mechanization enabled larger, more complex structures.

 
The book starts by examining the origins of nail making, from ancient civilizations to the medieval period, then transitions to the era of mechanization and the rise of factories. A significant portion focuses on the diversification of nail types and their specialized applications, such as framing and roofing. Nail Building Essential bridges the gap between technology history, architectural history, material science, and economic history, offering a comprehensive look at how nail production impacted building techniques, material longevity, and global trade.

 
This book adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, interweaving historical accounts with technical explanations, making it accessible to historians, architects, builders, and anyone interested in the history of construction. It culminates with an analysis of contemporary nail manufacturing techniques, including the use of advanced materials and coatings, while also touching on debates surrounding the environmental impact of industrial-scale production.

    Weren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid?
    
    Richard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.
    
    Through different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.

    Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care. Although environmental justice is a relatively recent concept, it has become a focus of governmental environmental policy, UN actions, and the activities of many nongovernmental environmental organizations. Its development tracks our growing understanding of racism and wealth disparity in the United States and elsewhere, and of our understanding of inequality between the Global North and the Global South. In the era of climate change, climate justice is a particular focus.Environmental Justice: A Very Short Introduction defines the concept, identifies specific environmental justice populations, examines root causes, including racism, capitalism, and colonialism, and traces the history of the environmental justice movement and governmental responses to it. It concludes with suggestions for achieving this elusive goal.

    At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. 
      
    In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources. Rather than overexploiting resources for short-term gain, sustainable practices aim to maintain or restore the natural balance, ensuring that the resources will continue to be available and capable of supporting life in the future. 
      
    Economically, sustainability promotes the efficient use of resources to create systems that are resilient and able to support long-term prosperity. It encourages businesses and industries to integrate environmental and social considerations into their financial strategies. By focusing on long-term gains instead of short-term profits, sustainable economic practices seek to create an economy that can thrive without causing harm to the environment or society. This often involves adopting technologies and methods that reduce costs and create value without depleting resources or harming ecosystems.
