  14. Here are another couple of pages from the Harmsworth Self-Educator books. I offer you "How to Travel Abroad" and "The Making of a Skirt".

    The whole thing reads like an old-fashioned paper version of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

  15. Are you wary of the Internet and its surveillance advertising and AI slop? Perhaps try The Harmsworth Self-Educator.

    My Dad gave his father's copy to my daughter. From 1905 England, it covers many eclectic topics:
    > what to do in a week in Norway
    > how to make a skirt
    > the plants of the farm
    > colours to be avoided when painting
    > the dangers of training in foreign schools
    > the World's Great Men (such as Cleopatra and Marie Curie)

  16. "The First Printed #World Map from #IsidoreOfSeville's '#Etymologies', [...] often referred to as the first #encyclopaedia. It contained information on a very wide range of topics. The 'Etymologies' were a hugely influential source of knowledge for many centuries. [...] The use of stunning rubrication - applying red highlights by hand to significant printed capital letters - shows the intersection between #handwritten #manuscripts and the newly invented #printingpress. The T-O #map illustrating this page is the earliest printed European world map. [...] Date of production : 1472."

    This is one of the 120 maps of the #Sunderland collection, "[...] a #Swiss investor and specialist in corporate finance [...] began his professional career at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology [...] He subsequently joined [...] #UBS [...] In 1983 [...] CEO of #Elders Finance and Investment Company in Melbourne [...] returned to Switzerland in 1989 and acquired Adinvest AG [...] Key investment themes included life sciences, e-commerce, fintech and the digital economy. [...] a PhD [...] addressed the stability of funds in the banking system."
    That fascination for #maps, the eye (gaze) and #immersiveinterfaces of wealthy men specialized in #extraction.

  17. I just gave Wikipedia $10. From memory, it's the first time I've donated. So that's roughly 50 cents for each year I've been making regular use of it. Good deal.

    In my defence, I have contributed to Wikipedia many times over the years, editing articles and even starting some, like the fediverse article.

    Just as a contrast, in 2012 Stephen J. Dubner paid $1600 for a set of the last printed encyclopaedia that Britannica produced:
