Forbes published a nice new review of my latest book: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucedorminey/2025/01/23/new-book-offers-reality-check-on-sea-level-rise/

“In a revelatory new book, Sea Level: A History, author Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, […], deftly chronicles just how difficult it was to come up with a standard method of measuring mean sea level. In the process, Hardenberg gives us a richly detailed yet very accessible history of how over five centuries, the concept of measuring mean sea level was a painstaking process that advanced in fits and starts.”

In 1752, John Bond, a doctor in London proposed adopting Polybius' description of a ballista for whaling. He even built a ballista and sent it to the Royal Academy, claiming that it would give Britain an edge over Dutch whalers. He jubilantly wrote that one gun was equal to 100 harpooners, but that these laborers would resist the invention because they had "strong prejudice against all improvements."

My latest story is published with Smithsonian Magazine. It is a #history of the #SkagitRiver in the #PNW through the lens of logjams and dams and what they reveal about the changing nature of "progress." It touches on a variety of themes, including #envhist and #sovereignty for local Tribes.

I hope you'll read it.

Interesting #sources for my #EnvHist / #UrbEnvHist / #UrbHist #Dissertation. I am currently revising - i.e. shortening - the part on the first master plans for the #WaterSupply & #Sewerage sector in #SãoPaulo. In addition, I still have to translate some quotations (🇧🇷 > 🇩🇪) and find suitable #translations that even @histodons without a degree in engineering might understand 🙈
Wish me luck!
