Download or read book Discoveries and Inventions written by Rodney Dale and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-08-11 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you had never seen an airplane--or even a balloon or a kite--what would convince you that man could fly? Discoveries and Inventions is a series that looks at the history of science and technology from a unique perspective. In each of these concise and highly illustrated books, specialist science writers focus on areas of everyday life that have been vastly changed by discovery, research, and invention. But what makes these books so interesting and so much fun is that no prior knowledge of the subject is assumed. Series editor Rodney Dale has found trade catalogs, advertisements, patent drawings, blueprints, and photographs of inventions and discoveries--all the visual evidence of scientists and inventors bringing their ideas to reality. As we see how each new invention was originally presented to the public, it becomes clear how one invention naturally paved the way to another, how one machine allowed another to be made, and how the need for a new machine or process countered the effect of a preceding one. Based on the wide-ranging resources of the British Library's science and technology collections, this new history taps into our natural fascination for machines, inventions, and figuring out how things work--ideal for budding Thomas Edisons, Orville Wrights, or Rube Goldbergs of any age.

Download or read book Threads of Life written by Clare Hunter and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This globe-spanning history of sewing and embroidery, culture and protest, is “an astonishing feat . . . richly textured and moving” (The Sunday Times, UK). In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their “disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, memory, power, and politics told through the stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the universal beauty and power of sewing.
