Even as concern over climate change and energy security fuel a boom in solar technology, many still think of solar as a twentieth-century wonder. Few realize that the first photovoltaic array appeared on a New York City rooftop in 1884, or that brilliant engineers in France were using solar power in the 1860s to run steam engines, or that in 1901 an ostrich farmer in Southern California used a single solar engine to irrigate three hundred acres of citrus trees. ![]() English | ASIN: B09W8X55TL | 2022 | 12 hours and 43 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 349 MB One of this century's most thoughtful and prolific naturalists, Harvard professor Stephen Jay Gould looks at the human twists on science in his eighth series of essays taken from Natural History magazine. As only he can, Gould finds questions where others have never looked, and answers where others have been blinded- -by their professional rivalries, by their unacknowledged privilege in society, by the dominant world-view at their particular juncture in history. "All great science," he says in the title essay, "indeed all fruitful thinking, must occur in a social and intellectual context--and contexts are just as likely to promote insight as to constrain thought." Gould's gift is being able to identify context, and see patterns in diverse fields or people or moments in history in a way that Darwin saw patterns in living species. ![]() English | ASIN: B09Y67Z3D3 | 2022 | 19 hours and 46 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 543 MB Now updated—a comprehensive, 500-year history of technology in society. Historian Thomas J. Misa's sweeping history of the relationship between technology and society over the past 500 years reveals how technological innovations have shaped—and have been shaped by—the cultures in which they arose. Spanning the preindustrial past, the age of scientific, political, and industrial revolutions, as well as the more recent eras of imperialism, modernism, and global security, this compelling work evaluates what Misa calls "the question of technology." A masterful analysis of how technology and culture have influenced each other over five centuries, Leonardo to the Internet frames a history that illuminates modern-day problems and prospects faced by our technology-dependent world. ![]() English | 2020 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B08FW9B769 | Duration: 7:26 h | 408 MB Indu Bhan / Narrated by Kiran Multani ![]() English | ASIN: B093QJBLZJ | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ~31:36:00 | 427 MB Caroline Elkins, Adam Barr (Narrator), "Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire" ![]() English | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B09NMVHDWG | Duration: 7:39 h | 215 MB Delia Ephron / Narrated by Delia Ephron ![]() English | ASIN: B09X25MRC8 | 2022 | 12 hours and 4 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 332 MB "The thrill of quiet adventure. The constant hope of discovery. The reminder that the world is filled with wonder. When I bird, life is bigger, more vibrant." That is why Susan Fox Rogers is a birder. Learning the Birds is the story of how encounters with birds recharged her adventurous spirit. When the birds first called, Rogers was in a slack season of her life. The woods and rivers that enthralled her younger self had lost some of their luster. It was the song of a thrush that reawakened Rogers, sparking a long-held desire to know the birds that accompanied her as she rock climbed and paddled, to know the world around her with greater depth. ![]() English | ISBN: 9781662165351 | 2020 | MP3 | M4B | 2h | 79 MB Learn How to Speak Italian Like a Native in No Time Through These Fun and Interactive Exercises. ![]() English | ASIN: B09K2L26RV | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ~08:08:00 | 231 MB John Baird, Edward Sullivan, Lyle Blaker (Narrator), "Leading with Heart: 5 Conversations That Unlock Creativity, Purpose, and Results" |
