This book tells the story of Agent Orange, its usage and the policies that surround it. Agent Orange contains a contaminant known as TCDD. It was the most widely used defoliant from 1965 - 1970 and became one of three major tactical herbicides used in Vietnam. More than 45 major health studies were conducted with Vietnam veterans from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Korea seeking a relationship between veterans' health and TCDD. Allegations of birth defects in the families of Vietnam veterans and the Vietnamese represented a case study in propaganda and deliberate misinformation by the government of Vietnam. The Policies of the US Government implemented by Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) identified 17 recognized associated presumptive diseases that failed the tests of "e;cause and effect"e; and common sense. This book tells the story of Agent Orange, its usage, the health studies and those policies from a diverse range of perspectives, delving into science, statistics, history, policy and ethics. It is of interest to scholars engaged in history, political and social philosophy and ethics.

Gibson Technology has grown into the most prolific winner at Le Mans and across global sports-prototype racing, but it can trace its roots all the way back to one man making electrical components on his kitchen table. This new book from Porter Press International tells the full story of how a small British engineering company founded by Bill Gibson ended up taking on and beating major manufacturers such as Peugeot and Toyota.

Mit dem Schwerpunktthema "Faktor Mensch" will das Jahrbuch Technikphilosophie 2023 zum einen die vielfältigen Ausprägungen des Mangels im technischen Bereich (und insbesondere bei den "neuen" Technologien) untersuchen: Wie modellieren, kompensieren oder parodieren Maschinenwelten, Benutzeroberflächen, Implementierungsstrategien oder gar ganze großtechnische Ökosysteme "den" Menschen - mithin "ihre" Version von uns selbst? Wie diskriminiert Technik? Wie bildet sie? In welchem Maß kann sie den Menschen "reduzieren"? Zum anderen gilt es, einen neuen Blick darauf zu werfen, was "Menschsein" in diesem Kontext eigentlich bedeutet, und die Anthropologie als Teil von Techniktheorien und Technikdiskursen neu zu beleuchten. Technikkritik muss also auch als Kritik am Menschen verstanden werden.Mit Beiträgen vonFabian Anicker | Petra Gehring | Axel Gelfert | Martina Heßler | Andreas Kaminski | Ruth Karl | Katerina Krtilova | Joachim Landkammer | Kevin Liggieri | Felix Maschewski | Nicola Mößner | Anna-Verena Nosthoff | Felix Reda | Jean-Paul Sartre | Björn Schembera | Stefan Schöberlein | Marcel Siegler | Florian Sprenger | Martin Warnke

This volume collects contributions on leading figures in mechanism and machine science (MMS) from Spain and Ibero-America over the last two centuries. The contributions examine scientists whose work resulted in relevant technical-scientific achievements, with an impact on technology and science in the historical evolution of MMS fields, and with an influence on the development of society at large. Biographical notes describing the efforts and achievements of these persons are included as well, but a technical survey is the core of each chapter, offering a modern interpretation of their legacy.

Literature is to describe the waves of our thoughts and feelings with the help of words and sentences and create the same waves in others. This definition is the correct definition of literature. The works written in this way are called literary works. In order to properly understand the word literature, it is necessary to define the word art as well as fine arts...If the commodity (material) in fine arts is sound, then fine art is musical; if there are colors and lines, then there will be a picture; stone or other different materials will be sculptures; if there is stone, wood, brick, and other materials (soil, clay), it is architecture; body, muga (hands, eyebrows, eyes) movements are games (tans); speech, and words become literature...These six types of beautiful watches are divided into two groups with the attention of getting closer to each other. Literature, music, game (dance) - one category; painting, sculpture, architecture are one category.

Reclaiming Technology: A poetic-scientific vocabulary aims to evoke ways of thinking about, and intervening in, technology worlds through a series of blended writing styles.Consisting of thirty-five short essays, contributors were asked to problematize some aspect of their research with technology – broadly conceived as artifact, process, craft, infrastructure, or concept – without being constrained by the more traditional repertoires of academic publishing. The result is a set of critical and experimental texts whose vocabulary speaks to the poetic, affective, and mundane modes through which technology can inspire and make anew.The ambition to reclaim stems from a collective desire to shift the grounds upon which exuberant technological claims making occurs. The book’s poetic-scientific approach is an effort at rendering technology otherwise so as to enable the emergence of alternate claims-making pathways towards more just and dignified socio-technical futures.The book should appeal to those who are curious about the technology-society nexus in more general terms. More particular audiences include anthropology and STS scholars, students (at all levels) interested in methods and writing, and practitioners looking for conceptual resources to think about technology differently.

This book is the first in English to survey indigenous knowledge of seasonal, astronomical, and agricultural information in Arab Gulf almanacs. It provides an extensive analysis of the traditional information available, based on local almanacs, Arabic texts and poetry by Gulf individuals, ethnographic interviews, and online forums. A major feature of the book is tracing the history of terms and concepts in the local seasonal knowledge of the Gulf, including an important genre about weather stars, stemming back to the ninth century CE. Also covered are pearl diving, fishing, seafaring, and pastoral activities. This book will be of interest to scholars who study the entire Arab region, since much of the lore was shared and continues through the present. It will also be of value to scholars who work on the Indian Ocean and Red Sea Trade Network, as well as the history of folk astronomy in the Arab World.
