Sinopse

Lightbulb's Bright History illuminates the captivating narrative of electric light, exploring its evolution from experimental curiosity to a world-altering technology. It wasn't merely an invention; it was a catalyst that reshaped society. The book highlights the intense competition between inventors like Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan, whose race to create a practical incandescent lamp involved not only scientific breakthroughs but also legal battles.

 
Before the lightbulb, our world was dictated by the limited hours of daylight, but this innovation unlocked unprecedented levels of productivity and transformed urban landscapes. The book presents a comprehensive overview, starting with early experiments in electricity, then focusing on the incandescent lamp's development and the societal changes it spurred.

 
It reveals how the electric light enabled the rise of the 24-hour society and fueled the Industrial Revolution, with factories operating around the clock. This history isn't just about technology; it's about the societal impact technology had on economics, urbanization, and daily life. The book progresses chronologically, tracing the development of the lightbulb and its subsequent global adoption.

 
It examines the lightbulb through a socio-technical lens, recognizing the interplay of social, economic, and political forces. By exploring this invention history, the book offers valuable lessons on innovation and its far-reaching consequences, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in history and technology.

    To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
    It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
    But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

    Welcome to a night of Deep Refreshing Sleep. 
    The Audiobook gives you a bundle of two 12 hour programs. 
    The programs begin after a short narration of guided imagery to prepare you for sleep. 
    Program One: 12 hours of the sounds of Calming Rain, Distant Thunder and the Gentle Tones of Classical Music. 
    Program Two: 10 hours of just the sounds of Calming Rain and Distant Thunder without the classical music. 
    The classical musical tones are serene arrangements of the most-loved, composers: Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Mozart, Pachelbel, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and more. 
    The producer of the audiobook is an award-winning sound designer and composer. When he and his wife struggled with sleep apnea, he searched for an audio program that would help. "I mostly found cheap sound effects with repetitive, looping tones. Granted, my background makes me a little picky, but I found these programs more annoying than relaxing." 
    So he set out to record the best sounds he could find. The ocean waves, rain, thunder, streams and waterfalls are all original recordings. 
    Next, he experimented with tones. This program is the first to include mellow arrangements of beautiful classical music. "I have produced over twenty experimental programs now and have had sleep doctors, patients, as well as my own friends and family members try them on. This current series of "Sleep Sounds" has been very well received and has been proven to be the most effective by the largest number of people."
