Ceramics in Circumpolar Prehistory : Technology, Lifeways and Cuisine
Throughout prehistory the Circumpolar World was inhabited by hunter-gatherers.Pottery-making would have been extremely difficult in these cold, northern environments, and the craft should never have been able to disperse into this region.However, archaeologists are now aware that pottery traditions were adopted widely across the Northern World and went on to play a key role in subsistence and social life.This book sheds light on the human motivations that lay behind the adoption of pottery, the challenges that had to be overcome in order to produce it, and the solutions that emerged.Including essays by an international team of scholars, the volume offers a compelling portrait of the role that pottery cooking technologies played in northern lifeways, both in the prehistoric past and in more recent ethnographic times.

The Quantum Revolution : Art, Technology, Culture
We are currently riders of the information storm. AI fascinates us, images mesmerize us, data defines us, algorithms remember us, news bombards us, devices connect us, isolation saddens us.Deeply embedded in digital technology, we are the very first inhabitants of life in the quantum zone.The Quantum Revolution is about life today – its entanglements, creativity, politics, and artistic vision. Arthur Kroker and David Cook explore a new way of thinking drawn directly from the quantum imaginary itself.They explain the quantum revolution as everyday life, where technology moves fast, and where, under cover of the digital devices that connect us, the most sophisticated concepts of technology and science originating in mathematics, astrophysics, and biogenetics have swiftly flooded human consciousness, shaped social behavior, and crafted individual identity.The book discusses the concept of the quantum zone as a new way of understanding digital culture, and presents stories about art, technology, and society, as well as a series of reflections on art as a gateway to understanding the quantum imaginary.Richly illustrated with sixty images of critically engaged photos and artwork, The Quantum Revolution privileges a new way of understanding and seeing politics, society, and culture through the lens of the duality that is the essence of the quantum imaginary.

What is motion in nature and technology?
Motion in nature refers to the movement of objects or organisms from one place to another. This can include the movement of animals, the flow of water, or the orbit of planets around the sun. In technology, motion refers to the movement of mechanical parts, such as the rotation of gears in a machine or the movement of a robotic arm. Understanding motion in both nature and technology is important for fields such as physics, engineering, and biology, as it allows us to study and manipulate the movement of objects and organisms.

What is the purpose of nature and technology?
The purpose of nature is to provide the essential resources and environment for life to thrive. It offers beauty, sustenance, and balance to the world. Technology, on the other hand, serves to enhance human capabilities, improve efficiency, and solve problems. It is designed to make life easier, more convenient, and to advance human knowledge and understanding of the world. Both nature and technology play crucial roles in the development and sustainability of human life.

How does the process of cell culture technology proceed?
Cell culture technology involves the growth and maintenance of cells outside of their natural environment, typically in a laboratory setting. The process begins with the selection of the appropriate cell type and the preparation of a suitable growth medium. The cells are then isolated from their natural environment and placed in a sterile culture vessel, where they are provided with the necessary nutrients and conditions for growth. The culture is regularly monitored and maintained to ensure the cells remain healthy and continue to proliferate. This technology is widely used in research, drug development, and biotechnology for studying cell behavior, producing biological products, and testing potential therapies.

Prometheanism : Technology, Digital Culture and Human Obsolescence
Günther Anders’s prolific philosophy of technology is undergoing a major revival but has never been translated into English.Prometheanism mobilises Anders’s pragmatic thought and current trends in critical theory to rethink the constellations of power that are configuring themselves around our increasingly “smart” machines.The book offers a comprehensive introduction to Anders’s philosophy of technology with an annotated translation of his visionary essay ‘On Promethean Shame’, part of The Obsolescence of Human Beings 1 published in 1956.The essay analyses feelings of curtailment, obsolescence and solitude that become manifest whilst we interact with machines.When technological solutions begin to make humans look embarrassingly limited and flawed, new emotional vulnerabilities are exposed.These need to be thought, because our wavering confidence leaves us unprotected in an ever more (un)transparent, connected yet fractured world.

Biomimetics : How Lessons From Nature can Transform Technology
An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind. Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature.The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems. In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier.He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

Where has technology learned from nature in bridge construction?
Technology has learned from nature in bridge construction by studying the structural integrity and efficiency of natural formations such as tree roots and spider webs. For example, the design of the Millau Viaduct in France was inspired by the way tree roots interlock to create stability in soil. Additionally, the use of biomimicry in bridge construction has led to the development of stronger and more flexible materials that can withstand environmental factors such as wind and earthquakes, ultimately leading to more sustainable and resilient bridge designs.
