Sinopsis

Rope Binding History explores the surprisingly significant role of rope and cordage in shaping human civilization. This book examines how the seemingly simple technology of fiber twisting has been instrumental in construction, shipping, and agriculture across diverse cultures and millennia. For instance, rope-based systems were crucial for moving massive stones in ancient architecture, and the development of rigging enabled extensive maritime exploration and trade. The book highlights the properties of different fibers like hemp, flax, and cotton and their impact on rope's tensile strength and durability. It argues that rope making, often overlooked, is a key driver in human development.

 
Unfolding chapter by chapter, the book first introduces fiber properties, then delves into case studies from ancient Egypt to pre-Columbian Americas, analyzing rope types, production methods, and their impact on various industries. By contrasting rope-making techniques across cultures and time, Rope Binding History challenges the linear view of technological advancement. It's a valuable read for those interested in history, technology, and material culture, offering a comprehensive account of an underappreciated technology and its lasting legacy.

    Sweet and Deadly - How Coca-Cola...

    If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don't find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America's health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark. 
     
     
     
    Sugar-sweetened beverages are the single item in the American diet that most contributes to the epidemic of chronic disease—in particular, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—and Coca-Cola is America's favorite sugar-sweetened beverage, by far. Carpenter details how the Coca-Cola corporation's sophisticated shadow network has masterfully spread disinformation for decades to hide the health risks of its product from consumers—risks disproportionately borne by Black, brown, and low-income communities. Working from a playbook of obfuscation and pseudoscience that has worked well for other harmful products, from tobacco and trans fats to opioids, Coca-Cola has managed to maintain an aura of goodness and happiness. This eye-opening book finally and fully reveals the truth behind that aura.

    The nerd's ultimate guide for turning technical knowledge into compelling and effective messaging 
    Every tech founder who tries to get the message out about their product knows the moment they've lost their audience. Blank stares come from the people you need most to buy into your message or understand your concepts. Without the ability to effectively explain technical concepts to a nontechnical audience, data points and all your knowledge become a hindrance instead of a relevant message. Even when you nail every technical concept in your pitch, if your messaging isn't delivered in a way that becomes relevant to the listener, they won't pick up what you're putting down. 
    For two decades, MessageSpecs Consulting founder Joel Benge has been helping tech nerds ditch boring IT pitches in favor of authentic people-first messaging without getting caught in jargon. Combining classical philosophy and modern neuroscience, Be a Nerd That Talks Good guides tech nerds on how to tell their story and connect with audiences. Inspired by Aristotle's rhetoric, Joel uses his MessageSpecs heart, head, and gut model to teach you how to balance your messaging and use emotion, logic, and credibility to get noticed, be understood, and accomplish goals. 
    If you're a tech nerd ready to go from oversharing and underselling your tech to communicating with confidence, Be a Nerd That Talks Good bridges the gap between deep technical knowledge and clear, effective messaging, turning those blank stares into blank checks.
