Beschreibung

'History of Carnation' presents a fascinating journey through time, chronicling how the humble Dianthus caryophyllus transformed from a wild Mediterranean cliff-dweller into one of the world's most beloved cultivated flowers. The book weaves together botanical science, cultural history, and horticultural practices to tell the compelling story of this remarkably resilient bloom, which has been captivating humans since ancient times.

 
Through meticulous research drawing from archaeological findings, historical manuscripts, and botanical records, the book reveals how carnations became powerful symbols of love and remembrance across different cultures. From their presence in ancient Greek garlands dating back to 300 BCE to their role in Medieval European medicine and Renaissance art, these flowers have continuously evolved in both cultivation and cultural significance. The text explores fascinating developments in carnation breeding, including how monastery gardens became early centers of cultivar development and how Persian merchants helped spread these beloved flowers throughout Asia.

 
What makes this book particularly valuable is its multidisciplinary approach, combining practical growing advice with rich historical context. Readers learn about modern cultivation techniques and challenges while discovering the flower's influence on art, economics, and social customs throughout history. Whether exploring the meaning behind different carnation colors or examining contemporary sustainable growing practices, the book offers both practical insights for gardeners and engaging historical perspectives for botanical enthusiasts.

    After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
    Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
    What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
    Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.

    As machines are trained to "think," many tasks that previously required human intelligence are becoming automated through artificial intelligence. However, it is more difficult to automate emotional intelligence, and this is where the human worker's competitive advantage over machines currently lies. This book explores the impact of AI on everyday life, looking into workers' adaptation to these changes, the ways in which managers can change the nature of jobs in light of AI developments, and the potential for humans and AI to continue working together. 
     
     
     
    The book argues that AI is rapidly assuming a larger share of thinking tasks, leaving human intelligence to focus on feeling. The result is the "Feeling Economy," in which both employees and consumers emphasize feeling to an unprecedented extent, with thinking tasks largely delegated to AI. The book shows both theoretical and empirical evidence that this shift is well underway. Further, it explores the effect of the Feeling Economy on our everyday lives in the areas such as shopping, politics, and education. Specifically, it argues that in this new economy, through empathy and people skills, women may gain an unprecedented degree of power and influence.

    Reaching the Moon: The History...

    The Apollo Program is the most famous and celebrated in American history, but the first successful landing of men on the Moon during Apollo 11 had complicated roots dating back over a decade, and it also involved one of NASA’s most infamous tragedies. From 1959-1963, the United States worked toward putting satellites and humans into orbit via the Mercury program, but Eisenhower’s administration was already designing plans for the Apollo program by 1960, a year before the first Russian orbited the Earth and two years before John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. 
    At the same time, America would begin missions to the Moon as early as 1958. On March 27, 1958, Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy announced a lunar project for the International Geophysical Year, consisting of three Air Force launches followed by two Army launches of a JPL-designed lunar probe. ARPA directed the Air Force to launch its probes "as soon as possible consistent with the requirement that a minimal amount of useful data concerning the Moon be obtained." 
    Throughout the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on missions to the Moon, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and Apollo was only made possible by the tests conducted through earlier missions, including the historic Ranger Program. Conceived as an early part of the attempt to land a man on the Moon, Ranger was designed to photograph the lunar surface in preparation for future landings. Until Ranger, images of the Moon were only available through Earth-based telescopes, which lacked the detail necessary to determine safe sites for landing a spacecraft. Ranger aimed to fill in that gap of knowledge, and like many of NASA’s missions during the 1960s, the program exemplified both the successes and the failures of the agency’s early years.
