Beschreibung

Rise of Microfilm explores the history of microfilm, a 20th-century technology that profoundly impacted information access and preservation. It examines how this invention, initially conceived in the 1800s, revolutionized various sectors, including libraries, archives, businesses, and intelligence agencies. The book argues that microfilm's adoption led to fundamental shifts in information management, democratizing access to knowledge and enabling efficient handling of vast data volumes. Microfilm provided a compact, durable, and cost-effective solution, addressing the challenges of managing paper-based records, especially during the World Wars.

 
The book uniquely investigates microfilm's technological evolution, its adoption across industries, and its socio-political implications. For instance, microfilm enabled institutions to preserve fragile historical documents and businesses to efficiently store critical records. The narrative begins with the origins of microphotography, then explores its historical context and impact, and concludes by considering its decline with the rise of digital technologies.

 
By using diverse evidence such as patents, archival documents, and oral histories, Rise of Microfilm presents a comprehensive account of this transformative technology and its enduring legacy.

Inclusive Transportation - A...

Veronica O. Davis, Tamika L. Butler

Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
 
 
 
In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
 
 
 
Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

Skylab: The History and Legacy...

Charles River Editors

During the Space Race, many people envisioned a future in which space travel would be a common undertaking for ordinary citizens. Just as riding in an airplane was once a daring endeavor, travel by rocket could be refined and made safer over time. That collective aspiration to someday take part in dreams NASA brought to life was integral to inspiring public interest in the space program. However, in the years following Apollo 11 in 1969, popular enthusiasm for space travel waned, and dreams of vacationing like the Jetsons gave way to more grounded goals. The level of interest NASA enjoyed would never again be comparable to the culturally defining moments of the agency’s most celebrated missions during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Programs.  
	Nonetheless, in 1972 and 1973, NASA sent nine astronauts to spend extended periods of time living in a craft named Skylab, the very first experimental American space station. Though Skylab would not last long, and the International Space Station remains far more famous, Skylab’s history is one of ingenuity and challenge, as well as how NASA found itself without a mission after the triumph of the Apollo Program.
