Beginning in the 1950s, a group of academics, businesspeople, and politicians set out on an ambitious project to remake North Carolina’s low-wage economy. They pitched the universities of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill as the kernel of a tech hub, Research Triangle Park, which would lure a new class of highly educated workers. In the process, they created a blueprint for what would become known as the knowledge economy: a future built on intellectual labor and the production of intellectual property. In Brain Magnet, Alex Sayf Cummings reveals the significance of Research Triangle Park to the emergence of the high-tech economy in a postindustrial United States. She analyzes the use of ideas of culture and creativity to fuel economic development, how workers experienced life in the Triangle, and the role of the federal government in bringing the modern technology industry into being. As Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill were transformed by high-tech development, the old South gave way to a distinctly new one, which welded the intellectual power of universities to a vision of the suburban good life. Cummings pinpoints how the story of the Research Triangle sheds new light on the origins of today’s urban landscape, in which innovation, as exemplified by the tech industry, is lauded as the engine of economic growth against a backdrop of gentrification and inequality. Placing the knowledge economy in a broader cultural and intellectual context, Brain Magnet offers vital insight into how tech-driven development occurs and the people and places left in its wake.

Remember when you were a kid and you raked a magnet through the sand, attracting specks of iron? Well, just as it draws iron from the sand, a magnet can manipulate the iron in your bloodstream, improving both circulation and body function. Magnet Therapy is filled with practical information as well as success stories that will bolster your determination to work toward greater health. You would be amazed to learn just how many conditions can be healed with magnet therapy. Diabetes, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis are only three of the thirty-five health issues discussed in this book. Conventional medicine does its best with pills, but treats only the symptoms, while magnet therapy treats the whole body, making it stronger and healthier. Whether this is your first or fortieth time using magnets, Magnet Therapy will teach you to maximize your health in a way that is both scientifically proven and easy to understand.
