Beschreibung

Ancient Calendars explores how early civilizations tracked time, revealing remarkable ingenuity and providing insights into their societies. These ancient systems weren't just about measuring days; they deeply influenced agriculture, religion, and social structures. For instance, the Egyptian solar calendar dictated planting seasons, while the Mayan calendar intertwined with cosmology and prophecy. The book navigates this historical, social, and scientific context, requiring no specialized knowledge. It progresses from basic timekeeping concepts to detailed examinations of calendars like the Roman one, which eventually evolved into our Gregorian calendar. By understanding these calendrical systems, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intellectual capabilities and worldviews of past civilizations. This book uniquely examines ancient calendars from technical, cultural, and religious perspectives. It highlights how these systems reflect a civilization's relationship with the cosmos and continue to inform our understanding of cultural identity and historical change.

    “It's better to talk to you than to my parents; I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings. “Anguish, when it takes hold of me, is a terrible abyss! “I don't know who I am anymore. It's like voices are talking to me, it's weird; I'm scared” ... Today, teenagers dare to consult on their own. We welcome the end of the taboo, and the fact that it's easier to talk, but beware of the dizzying distress that can be caused, because it only takes a little for a teenager's life to turn upside down. The precipitous and uncertain evolution of society, of the family, of the relationship to work and to culture, upsets the reference points of the teenager and his parents. Adolescence is therefore a crucial time for talking: it's the time to make it a priority. Thierry Delcourt guides us and suggests concrete situations to help parents and teenagers find their way towards greater well-being and dialogue. Let's not forget that the teenage period is rich in creative potential, which needs to be revealed. The book is aimed at teens and parents alike. It can even be read together, as a way of talking and hearing each other differently.

    Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine 
    We are witnessing a systematic teardown of democracy worldwide. This book will help you make sense of the world, understand how this could happen, and consider what we can do as ordinary citizens to flip the script on authoritarians. 
    We are in a perpetual struggle between authoritarian rule and the enduring resilience of freedom, also known as Democracy. This resilience, this unwavering strength, is not just a concept but a beacon of hope that inspires us to fight for our freedom of choice. 
    Having peace of mind, understanding how the world works, and seeing real-world examples are priceless, as shown in this book. However, beware that the who, how, and what is being done to dismantle democracy is terrifying to learn. You need to start with a willingness to hold the knowledge; once you have it, there is no forgetting it and no turning back. In the last 80 years, Democracy, to date, has not offered up a defense. Hence, we have been slowly taken off course. We need to fortify our defenses and go on the offense. 
    President Ronald Reagan said it best: 
    "Freedom is a fragile thing, and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." 
    Here's a not-so-fun fact: you have a six times greater chance of being killed living under an authoritarian regime than you do living and fighting for Democracy (TUCCILLE, 2014). Reading this book will give you the same peace of mind and sense of purpose that we all long for. We have to have purpose in wanting to live free and safe. That must be our eternal focus because freedom is not a given.
