The Knowledge: How to Rebuild our World from Scratch

Product Information

Suburban (yellow badge) - Drivers can ply for hire in one of the nine sectors in the suburbs of the Greater London Authority area We are walking on this path, believing from the heart that all those efforts rendered for a flowery world without wars, prepare beautiful morrows for our planet. the plan for realizing the universal unity in this has been prepared centuries ago. Lewis' writing is succinct,accurate and informative. His ability to refine a concept down to one or two sentences that manages to convey exactly how a thing works and why it does what it does is astounding. This is what all educators and science communicators strive for and it seems like he as a great talent. When he was explaining concepts that I have previously learnt I was amazed at the clarity of which he would convey the ideas. How easily can you explain how refrigerators work using the laws if thermodynamics?

This is the ” golden age ” . It has been waited for the human consciousnesses to reach, a certain consciousness level for this to be able to be applied to our planet. I found the agricultural, medical and chemistry bits the most fascinating and accessible, based on my previous knowledge. We’ve already got some sourdough starter and homemade cider in the corner of the room, so we’re ahead in our preparations, at least when it comes to yeast. Some of the engineering bits went a bit over my head. In practical terms, it gives only a brief overview of what you’d need to know, if you have no prior knowledge you would struggle to do all the things in the book. Not only is this wonderfully community-minded and a far cheaper way to access the tools and equipment you need — sharing rather than owning — it’s also far more environmentally friendly.My own field of research, in astrobiology, is engaged in the search for life beyond the Earth. In some ways this is one of the newest areas of science, made possible with recent developments in our understanding of the limits of life on Earth, our capability in building sophisticated robotic probes to explore the other planets and moons in our solar system, and space-based telescopes able to spot new worlds orbiting other stars in the galaxy. But in one sense it’s also one of the most ancient forms of human inquiry – the ages-old curiosity with whether we are alone in the universe, or perhaps there are beings somewhat like us out there within the twinkling heavens. En la sección de comunicaciones, se explica cómo hacer papel con celulosa: está muy metida dentro del tronco del árbol. Hay que usar un proceso que se llama hidrólisis. Es el mismo proceso que se usa para que el jabón y para ello se usan los mismos álcalis: potasa, sosa o cal. Para hacer tinta podemos usar cualquier cosa que manche. Añadir sal para que sea conservante. La tinta para que no se vaya con el sol se llama tinta ferrogálica. Nos invita a descubrir el morse. Luego nos anima a inventar la imprenta, y la radio; es fascinante cómo se hicieron radios rudimentarias durante la II Guerra Mundial. We are experiencing Mass Pains due to the fact that we have entered a Transition Period in the history of Humanity. These Pains are investments into the future, particularly for the coming of the Golden Age. As such, there is a Universal Call to Humanity to those who have attained a certain Level of Consciousness to embrace Humanity by moving out from our own individual Consciousness to a Universal Consciousness, whereby Humanity will be unified under the one roof. And as my education has furthered into the sciences and gone into research, my environmentalism has increased and the knowledge of human activity with respect to the stability of the climate has caused these thought experiments to become more of a possible future reality. I believe it is within the realm of possibility that civilisation as we know it could collapse during my lifetime. The more I learn, the more I realise it would not take much at all to tip the scales into a decline in drastic decline in living standards. One thing to note is that the book is shorter than it appears. About the last 20% is filled with references, including a useful list of relevant fiction.

The purpose should be to tell us that, most probably, the cost of apocalypse would be so high that we should work harder at averting it and, second, that there are thresholds of apocalypse where we can survive but at the cost of values that are implicit in this book and others. In short if this was to be the book I was left with in the apocalypse I would desperately hope for a whole library of practical advice also, as at best I would use The Knowledge as a reference for what to start looking into. And what is that key survival move? Simple. As soon as you can, grab the guns and organise in war bands to protect your own and control territory. Disturbingly, the progress implied in the book is also going to require cheap slave labour. There are no nice liberal solutions to apocalypse. A medida que vamos repasando disciplinas la cosa se complica y el poder replicar lo que explica el autor resulta más complejo. Empezamos con la agricultura, una práctica tremendamente artificial y hambrienta de nitrógeno, fósforo y potasio, así como pesticidas. Hay que volver a la agricultura tradicional. Nos explica la composición del suelo: arena, limo y arcilla en proporciones ideales 40/40/20. Habrá que reinventar el arado, una máquina para dar la vuelta al suelo; la grada, para aplanar; la sembradora. Plantar las tres principales: maíz, arroz y trigo. Y ya después cebada, sorgo, mijo, avena y centeno. Para evitar el barbecho, plantar leguminosas: guisantes, alubias, trébol, alfalfa, lentejas, soja y cacahuetes. Es lo que se llama el sistema Norfolk: Leguminosas, trigo, tubérculos y cebada. Los tubérculos nos ayudarán a alimentar el ganado, que nos dará estiércol y carne. El estiércol humano hay que pasteurizarlo a más de 65 grados. Y para obtener fosfatos: harina de huesos y ácido sulfúrico para dar fosfatos. El siguiente capítulo es sobre medicina. El peligro más relevante en un mundo postapocalíptico es la infección, por lo que seguirá siendo importante lavarse las manos. Para el cólera, el tratamiento es evitar la deshidratación, por lo que hay que beber mucha agua. Habrá que inventar el forceps, para ayudar a dar a luz. El estetoscopio, y ya para nota los rayos x. Si hay que hacer cirugía, las tres As: anatomía, asepsia, anestesia. Por último explica como hacer penicilina. No sabía que era tan laborioso.You will be invited to attend an initial talk with other successful candidates. Here you will receive advice from a Knowledge of London examiner about the different stages of the Knowledge and the best way to approach your studies.
