Sinopse

"Rubber's Hidden Journey" unveils the remarkable story of rubber, demonstrating its surprising connections to pivotal moments in history, from the Amazon rainforest to the Industrial Revolution and beyond. This book explores how a seemingly simple substance has profoundly shaped modern technology, global economics, and our daily lives. You'll discover how Charles Goodyear’s accidental discovery of vulcanization in 1839 unlocked rubber's potential for widespread industrial applications and how the urgent need for synthetic alternatives during World War II spurred significant technological advancements. The book delves into the natural history of rubber, its origins in the Amazon, and the transformative impact of vulcanization. It also examines the synthetic rubber revolution, revealing how rubber became a strategic commodity that fueled both innovation and geopolitical power struggles.

 
Beginning with the botanical origins of rubber and its early uses by Indigenous communities, the narrative progresses through the 19th-century rubber boom, the science of vulcanization, and the development of synthetic rubber. Ultimately, it examines the prospects for sustainable rubber production. This unique account takes an interdisciplinary approach, considering the economic, social, environmental, and cultural dimensions of rubber production. By exploring the interplay between scientific discovery, economic exploitation, and technological innovation, "Rubber's Hidden Journey" offers a fresh perspective on this often-overlooked material and its lasting impact on our world.

    An insightful history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain told through a single sense: touch. 
      
    When, where, and who gets to touch and be touched, and who decides? What do we learn through touch? How does touch bring us closer together or push us apart? These are urgent contemporary questions, but they have their origins in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain, when new urban encounters compelled intense discussion of what touch was, and why it mattered. In this vividly written book, Simeon Koole excavates the history of these concerns and reveals how they continue to shape ideas about “touch” in the present. 
      
    Intimate Subjects takes us to the bustling railway stations, shady massage parlors, all-night coffee stalls, and other shared spaces where passengers, customers, vagrants, and others came into contact, leading to new understandings of touch. We travel in crammed subway cars, where strangers negotiated the boundaries of personal space. We visit tea shops where waitresses made difficult choices about autonomy and consent. We enter classrooms in which teachers wondered whether blind children could truly grasp the world and labs in which neurologists experimented on themselves and others to unlock the secrets of touch. We tiptoe through London’s ink-black fogs, in which disoriented travelers became newly conscious of their bodies and feared being accosted by criminals. Across myriad forgotten encounters such as these, Koole shows, touch remade what it meant to be embodied—as well as the meanings of disability, personal boundaries, and scientific knowledge. 
      
    With imagination and verve, Intimate Subjects offers a new way of theorizing the body and the senses, as well as a new way of thinking about embodiment and vulnerability today.

    Great Expectations

    In this unflaggingly suspenseful story of aspirations and moral redemption, humble, orphaned Pip, a ward of his short-tempered older sister and her husband, Joe, is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman. And, indeed, it seems as though that dream is destined to come to pass — because one day, under sudden and enigmatic circumstances, he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." In telling Pip's story, Dickens traces a boy's path from a hardscrabble rural life to the teeming streets of 19th-century London, unfolding a gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward, and love and loss. Its compelling characters include Magwitch, the fearful and fearsome convict; Estella, whose beauty is excelled only by her haughtiness; and the embittered Miss Havisham, an eccentric jilted bride. 
    Great Expectations, written in Dickens' final decade of life, received widespread acclaim and worldwide admiration. It was his final great novel, and many critics consider it to be his best. Readers and critics alike commended it for its excellent plot, which rises above the melodrama of some of his earlier works, as well as its three-dimensional, psychologically realistic characters, which are far deeper and more engaging than the one-note caricatures of earlier novels. "In none of his other works," noted the reviewer in the 1861 Atlantic, "does he evince a shrewder insight into real life, and a cheaper perception and knowledge of what is called the world." 
     Swinburne thought the novel was the best in all of English fiction, with flaws "as nearly imperceptible as spots on the sun or shadows on a sunlit sea." Shaw considered it Dickens' "most completely perfect book." This low-cost edition encourages current readers to experience Dickens' timeless masterwork, which is brimming with colorful characters, unexpected narrative twists, and Dickens' vivid depiction of mid-Victorian England.
