Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Downing is obsessed with Daylight Saving, the loopy idea that became the most persistent political controversy in American history. Almost one hundred years after Congressmen and lawmakers in every state first debated, ridiculed, and then passionately embraced the possibility of saving an hour of daylight, no one can say for sure why we are required by law to change our clocks twice a year. Who first proposed the scheme? The most authoritative sources agree it was a Pittsburgh industrialist, Woodrow Wilson, a man on a horse in London, a Manhattan socialite, Benjamin Franklin, one of the Caesars, or the anonymous makers of ancient Chinese and Japanese water clocks. Spring Forward is a portrait of public policy in the 20th century, a perennially boiling cauldron of unsubstantiated science, profiteering masked as piety, and mysteriously shifting time–zone boundaries. It is a true–to–life social comedy with Congress in the leading role, surrounded by a supporting cast of opportunistic ministers, movie moguls, stockbrokers, labor leaders, sports fanatics, and railroad execs.

Book excerpt: Benjamin Franklin conceived of it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endorsed it. Winston Churchill campaigned for it. Kaiser Wilhelm first employed it. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt went to war with it, and more recently the United States fought an energy crisis with it. For several months every year, for better or worse, daylight savings time affects vast numbers of people throughout the world. And from Ben Franklin's era to today, its story has been an intriguing and sometimes-bizarre amalgam of colorful personalities and serious technical issues, purported costs and perceived benefits, conflicts between interest groups and government policymakers. It impacts diverse and unexpected areas, including agricultural practices, street crime, the reporting of sports scores, traffic accidents, the inheritance rights of twins, and voter turnout. Illustrated with a popular look at science and history, Seize the Daylight presents an intriguing and surprisingly entertaining story of our attempt to regulate the sunlight hours.

In a salute to the Day of the Dead, the story begins with a visit to the cemetery in which all of her deceased relatives come alive to share stories of the family, literally bringing the food to their own funerals. From there the book covers a year in the life of her clan, revealing the personalities and events that Mora herself so desperately yearns to know and understand.

This book was released on 2000-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the tenth century, Chaco Canyon emerged as an important center whose influence shaped subsequent cultural developments throughout the Four Corners area of the American Southwest. Archaeologists investigating the prehistory of Chaco Canyon have long been impressed by its massive architecture, evidence of widespread trading activities, and ancient roadways that extended across the region. Research on Chaco Canyon today is focused on what the remains indicate about the social, political, and ideological organization of the Chacoan people. Communities with great houses located some distance away are of particular interest, because determining how and why peripheral areas became associated with the central canyon provides insight into the evolution of the Chacoan tradition. This volume brings together twelve chapters by archaeologists who suggest that the relationship between Chaco Canyon and outlying communities was not only complex but highly variable. Their new research reveals that the most distant groups may have simply appropriated Chacoan symbolism for influencing local social and political relationships, whereas many of the nearest communities appear to have interacted closely with the central canyon--perhaps even living there on a seasonal basis. The multifaceted approach taken by these authors provides different and refreshing perspectives on Chaco. Their contributions offer new insight into what a Chacoan community is and shed light on the nature of interactions among prehistoric communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daylight saving time (DST) is a practice of adjusting the clocks forward an hour during the spring season and reversing it back during autumn. This alteration helps in utilizing the daylight hours more efficiently and reducing energy consumption during the evening. Daylight saving time is implemented in different countries across the world, with varying dates of implementation. Some countries also opt-out of this practice for various reasons, such as the detrimental effects on the human body due to the abrupt shift in the sleep cycle or the inconvenience caused by the constant change in the time zone. The idea of daylight saving time can be traced back to Benjamin Franklin, but the modern implementation of this practice began during the First World War. It was first introduced in Germany in 1916, and soon other European countries followed suit. The United States adopted this practice during the Second World War, and it was later standardized after the Uniform Time Act of 1966. However, the implementation and duration of daylight saving time have been subject to numerous debates and controversies, with many scientists and policymakers now questioning its effectiveness and benefits. In this book we discuss topics such as: Introduction: Brief history of Daylight Saving Time (DST), Purpose of DST, Controversy surrounding DST How DST Works: Setting our clocks forward and backward, Impact on natural light patterns, Benefits of DST, 1. Energy conservation, 2. Improved public safety, 3. Increased economic productivity, 4. Health benefits The Global Debate on DST: Countries that observe DST, Countries that do not observe DST, Reasons for differing policies on DST Impacts of DST: Agriculture and farming, Transportation, Tourism, Education, Health DST and Technology: Impact of DST on electronic devices, Time zones and international communication, The role of technology in DST policy Alternatives to DST: Permanent Standard Time, Double DST, Time Zone Changes Conclusion: Summary of the main points, Implications for future DST policy and Call to action for additional research. Quizzes are provided at the end of each section.
