The invention of yesterday : a 50,000-year history of human culture, conflict, and connection / by Ansary, Mir Tamim,author.(CARDINAL)363182;
"From language to culture to cultural collision: the story of how humans invented history, from the Stone Age to the Virtual Age. Traveling across millennia, weaving the experiences and world views of cultures both extinct and extant, [this book] shows that the engine of history is not so much heroic (battles won), geographic (farmers thrive), or anthropogenic (humans change the planet) as it is narrative. Many thousands of years ago, when we existed only as countless small autonomous bands of hunter-gatherers widely distributed through the wilderness, we began inventing stories--to organize for survival, to find purpose and meaning, to explain the unfathomable. Ultimately these became the basis for empires, civilizations, and cultures. And when various narratives began to collide and overlap, the encounters produced everything from confusion, chaos, and war to cultural efflorescence, religious awakenings, and intellectual breakthroughs. Through vivid stories studded with insights, Tamim Ansary illuminates the world-historical consequences of the unique human capacity to invent and communicate abstract ideas. In doing so, he also explains our ever-more-intertwined present: the narratives now shaping us, the reasons we still battle one another, and the future we may yet create."--Dust jacket flap.Includes bibliographical references (pages 409-418) and index.Part I: Tools, language, and environment.

Where is my flying car? / by Hall, J. Storrs,author.(CARDINAL)477201;

The world of tomorrow ; The graveyard of dreams ; The conquest of the air ; Waldo and Magic, Inc. ; Cold fusion? ; A Machiavelli effect ; The age of Aquarius ; Forbidden fruit -- Profiles of the present. Ceiling and visibility unlimited ; Dialogue concerning the two great systems of the world ; The atomic age ; When worlds collide ; When the sleeper wakes -- Profiles of the future. The dawn of robots ; The second atomic age ; Tom Swift and his flying car ; Escape velocity ; Metropolis ; Engineers' dreams ; Rocket to the renaissance.From an engineer and futurist, an impassioned account of technological stagnation since the 1970s and an imaginative blueprint for a richer, more abundant future The science fiction of the 1960s promised us a future remade by technological innovation: we'd vacation in geodesic domes on Mars, have meaningful conversations with computers, and drop our children off at school in flying cars. Fast-forward 60 years, and we're still stuck in traffic in gas-guzzling sedans and boarding the same types of planes we flew in over half a century ago. What happened to the future we were promised? In Where Is My Flying Car?, J. Storrs Hall sets out to answer this deceptively simple question. What starts as an examination of the technical limitations of building flying cars evolves into an investigation of the scientific, technological, and social roots of the economic stagnation that started in the 1970s. From the failure to adopt nuclear energy and the suppression of cold fusion technology to the rise of a counterculture hostile to progress, Hall recounts how our collective ambitions for the future were derailed, with devastating consequences for global wealth creation and distribution. Hall then outlines a framework for a future powered by exponential progress--one in which we build as much in the world of atoms as we do in the world of bits, one rich in abundance and wonder. Drawing on years of original research and personal engineering experience, Where Is My Flying Car? is an urgent, timely analysis of technological progress over the last 50 years and a bold vision for a better future.
