Sinopse

Medieval Time explores how Europeans in the Middle Ages measured and organized time, revealing the surprising influence of calendars on trade, governance, and religious life. Early medieval timekeeping was fragmented, with local calendars tied to agricultural cycles or saints' days. Intriguingly, the need for synchronized timekeeping grew with the rise of the Church and expanding trade networks, pushing for standardized calendars that could coordinate everything from religious festivals to market days. The book examines the move towards standardized calendars and its impact on medieval society.

 
We learn how the Church played a vital role in promoting the Julian calendar and reforming timekeeping to align with religious events like Easter. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with diverse early systems, then analyzing standardization efforts by monastic orders and rulers. It concludes by assessing the lasting impact of medieval timekeeping on our modern understanding of time.

On Browsing

Jason Guriel

A defense of the dying art of losing an afternoon—and gaining new appreciation—amidst the bins and shelves of bricks-and-mortar shops. 
Written during the pandemic, when the world was marooned at home and consigned to scrolling screens, On Browsing’s essays chronicle what we’ve lost through online shopping, streaming, and the relentless digitization of culture. The latest in the Field Notes series, On Browsing is an elegy for physical media, a polemic in defense of perusing the world in person, and a love letter to the dying practice of scanning bookshelves, combing CD bins, and losing yourself in the stacks.

A Rare Recording of Harry Houdini

Harry Houdini

Hear an actual cylinder recording of Harry Houdini: "...Ladies and gentlemen. Introducing my original invention, the Water Torture Cell. Although there is nothing supernatural about it, I am willing to proffer the sum of $1,000.00 to anyone who can prove that it is possible to consume air inside of the Torture Cell when I'm locked up in it in the regulation manner after it has been filled with water. Should anything go wrong when I'm locked up, one of my assistants walks through the curtains, ready to rush in, demolishing the glass, allowing the water to flow out, in order to save my life. 
- I, Houdini, October 29, 1914, Flatbush, NY." 
 
Harry Houdini, born Erich Weisz; March 24, 1874 - October 31, 1926) was a Hungarian-birn American escape artist, magic man, and stunt performer, noted for his escape acts. His pseudonym is a reference to his spiritual master, French magician Robert-Houdin (1805–1871).

No Sticks or Stones No Broken...

Ricia Fleming

“What I experienced wasn’t that bad, not bad enough to be real trauma.” Could you be one of the dismissed and ignored trauma survivors? Are you coping with unidentified complex PTSD from early intangible attachment trauma? 
Author Ricia Fleming was: “It took me 26 years to complete this book,” she says, “because it took me that long – even as a licensed psychotherapist – to acknowledge the seriousness of the category of trauma I came to call naCCT, an acronym for its four characteristics: no physical assault, attachment-based, chronic, and covert. 
"During those 26 years I often shoved the draft deep into my closet after someone shamed me for thinking such ‘little things’ could be serious enough to cause PTSD.” 
With no tangible trauma to point to, confusion and self-shaming are normal for adults wounded by early naCCTs such as emotional neglect, gaslighting, or traumatic absence of loving hugs, interest, or understanding; many even deny they’ve been traumatized at all. 
Yet, realistically, when we’re little, subtle everyday disturbances in our lifeline relationships with mother, father or other caregivers can register on our bodies, minds, and spirits as threats to life itself. In a word, as ‘trauma.’ 
Whether or not your caregiver was well-intentioned, whether or not you also experienced blatant physical assaults like beatings or incest, the cumulative effect of early naCCTs can cause complex PTSD, leaving you to cope with physical, psychological, financial, and relationship problems and overall lack of fun, meaning, and spontaneity. 
To meet the unique challenges of this under-explored trauma category, you now have a healing guidebook written by a therapist/survivor just for you. With empowering information, encouragement, and down-to-earth stories, this life-changing book will help you take pride in how well you have managed so far. Then it will provide you with realistic action steps for starting to feel better right away.
