Beschreibung

"Soap How" presents a fascinating journey through the science, history, and cultural significance of one of humanity's most fundamental innovations: soap. This comprehensive guide bridges the gap between traditional craft knowledge and modern scientific understanding, exploring how the simple combination of fats and alkali transformed into an essential component of human civilization.

 
The book carefully balances technical information with accessibility, making complex chemistry concepts understandable through clear analogies and practical examples. The text progresses logically through four main sections, beginning with fundamental chemistry and physics of soap making, then moving through traditional methods, industrial processes, and environmental considerations.

 
Readers discover intriguing historical connections, from ancient Babylonian soap making techniques to modern sustainable production methods. The book particularly shines in its exploration of saponification, demonstrating how this chemical process has evolved from basic crafting to sophisticated manufacturing while maintaining its core principles.

 
What sets this book apart is its holistic approach to soap making, connecting chemistry, environmental science, and public health in meaningful ways. Whether you're a crafting enthusiast, chemistry student, or sustainability advocate, the book offers valuable insights into both practical soap making and broader societal impacts.

 
Through careful examination of traditional methods and modern innovations, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of soap's role in personal wellbeing and environmental sustainability, all while developing practical skills for soap production and informed consumer choices.

    What you feed the soil, you 
    feed yourself! 
    In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares 
    urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the 
    microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will 
    transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. 
    During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking 
    truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has 
    been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. 
    While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became 
    a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity 
    but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer 
    that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune 
    diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from 
    plant and human microbiomes. 
    Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a 
    solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with 
    soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance 
    on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies 
    promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. 
    This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for 
    anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we 
    leave for generations to come.

    ‘He who cannot find wonder, mystery, awe, the sense of a new world and an undiscovered realm in the places by the Gray’s Inn Road will never find those secrets elsewhere.’ – Arthur Machen 
    The Grey Soul of London is an audio guided tour. Robert Kingham takes a walk across the worn and hollowed stones of the Angel and Clerkenwell districts of London in search of places that inspired the writer Arthur Machen (1863-1947). This was originally a historical guided tour commissioned for the Museum of London’s Urban Myths season in 2011. 
    The Grey Soul of London has now been rewritten and expanded for 2023, with incidental music by Rich Cochrane. Everything you need in terms of directions and instructions is contained within the audio narrative, so you can just listen and walk. If you want, you can also find a map of the walk online at minimumlabyrinth.org, plus a picture gallery illustrating some of the people, places and events mentioned. 
    ‘It is a district both devious and obscure, and I suppose that its twisting streets and unexpected squares of dusty trees will all come to ruin before they are intelligently explored.’ – Arthur Machen
