Sinopsis

"Lost Inventions Explained" explores the fascinating world of forgotten technologies, examining why some innovations thrived while others faded into obscurity. The book challenges the idea of linear technological progress by showcasing ingenious devices from ancient civilizations to abandoned prototypes, revealing that societal acceptance and resource availability often dictate an invention's fate, not just its inherent merit. For instance, advanced metallurgical techniques of the ancient world were lost, only to be rediscovered centuries later. 

 
The book adopts a multifaceted approach, drawing from archaeological findings, historical documents, and scientific analyses to reconstruct the stories behind these lost inventions. It presents case studies from various historical periods, including ancient marvels, Renaissance-era inventions, and 19th and 20th-century prototypes, to illustrate the complex interplay between technology, society, and economics. 

 
Each chapter builds upon the previous one, progressively revealing how understanding these "forgotten technology" examples can inspire new approaches to problem-solving and promote sustainable innovation today.

    Lovely book of nature written for children by teacher and naturalist Clara Dillingham Pierson. This book in the "Among the People" series explores the animal inhabitants of the meadow and garden. The charming prose shrinks us down and puts us in the fascinating world of the tiny insects, amphibians, and birds who call the field their home. From the author's Introduction: "In selecting the tiny creatures of field and garden for the characters in this book, I have remembered with pleasure the way in which my six loyal pupils befriended stray crickets and grasshoppers, their intense appreciation of the new realm of fancy and observation, and the eagerness and attention with which they sought Mother Nature, the most wonderful and tireless of all story-tellers." - Summary by Clara Dillingham Pierson & Jill Engle

    In Green Lewisham we are invited to explore the surprisingly numerous green spaces in the Borough of Lewisham in south east London. Rivers, trees, grassy glades and wildlife are round almost every corner, hidden between houses and alongside railway lines and all lying less than ten miles from Trafalgar Square in central London. We have a brief history behind the many calming and natural sites and the photographs tempt us to go walking every day, and at all times of the year, as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of the autumn. Discover herons and egrets, swans, and many, many species of birds as well as the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the centuries-old River Ravensbourne and its tributaries, or find stunning views of London from the hilltops. Lewisham is celebrated as the London Borough of Culture in 2022. Candy Blackham has given us a unique book which opens our eyes to appreciating and enjoying the natural, green spaces in this special year.

    A compassionate, evidence-based look at pregnancy loss—how and why it happens, and why the assurances of the medical industry don't reflect the realityOne of the most prevalent myths about human pregnancy is that of all possible outcomes, a baby is the most likely. Pregnancy Interrupted challenges the misleadingly linear narrative that begins with two lines on a pregnancy test and ends with a newborn. Drawing on Kate Clancy's own deeply personal stories of pregnancy loss and moving interviews with others, it reveals how the frequency of loss and miscarriage is far more common than most realize. This provocative book makes an impassioned, fact-based case for truthfulness and care at a time when inaccurate images of fetuses abound, electronic impulses continue to pass for a heartbeat, and reproductive autonomy is criminalized.Presenting the unvarnished science of pregnancy loss, Clancy validates the experiences of women and gender minorities, offers solace for the person on her third miscarriage, and gives guidance for lawmakers and advocates seeking change. While genetic errors make some losses inevitable, this is not the whole story. Clancy describes how other factors increase the risk—from the choices we sometimes make to environmental and social conditions that go overlooked or ignored. She exposes the links between miscarriage and stressors like physical and emotional violence and explores how we might prevent miscarriages and stillbirths while mitigating the trauma when they do occur.Pregnancy Interrupted provides an eye-opening account of pregnancy and loss as an unpredictable yet universal experience.
