Synopsis

Trade Time argues that the evolution of calendars was significantly shaped by the demands of ancient trade networks, not solely by agricultural or religious needs. This fresh perspective highlights how economic imperatives drove the standardization and refinement of timekeeping systems across cultures like Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Roman Empire. The book reveals that calendars were indispensable tools for economic planning and coordinating long-distance commerce.

 
One intriguing insight is how the Roman Empire adapted the Egyptian calendar for administrative purposes, showcasing the practical applications of timekeeping in governance and trade facilitation.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with rudimentary timekeeping methods and tracing their evolution into complex, standardized calendars. By examining archaeological evidence, merchant contracts, and astronomical observations, Trade Time demonstrates the correlation between increased trade activity and the sophistication of calendar systems. The book analyzes ancient trade documents, revealing how merchants used calendars to schedule shipments, calculate interest, and resolve disputes.

 
This novel approach offers a unique understanding of how the need to efficiently buy, sell, and transport goods shaped one of humanity's most fundamental inventions.

The Albigensian Crusade -...

Nova Ashford

The Albigensian Crusade, which took place between 1209 and 1229, was a significant and brutal religious conflict that marked a turning point in medieval France. It was launched by the Catholic Church under Pope Innocent III to eradicate the Cathar heresy, a dualistic religious movement that flourished in the Languedoc region of southern France. The crusade is often remembered not only for its religious motivations but also for its political and social implications. This chapter aims to introduce the Albigensian Crusade, its causes, key players, and lasting consequences.
The roots of the Albigensian Crusade lay in the growing tensions between the Catholic Church and the Cathars. The Cathars, also known as Albigensians due to their strong presence in the town of Albi, held beliefs that starkly contrasted with orthodox Catholic teachings. They viewed the material world as evil, emphasizing a stark division between the spiritual and material realms. This dualism, along with their rejection of Catholic sacraments and clergy, was seen as a direct threat to the authority of the Church. Over time, the Cathar movement spread rapidly in southern France, a region that was politically independent and had a long history of resistance to royal and papal authority.
At the time, southern France was under the control of various noble families, the most powerful of which was the House of Toulouse. The Count of Toulouse, Raymond VI, was a key figure in the Albigensian Crusade, as he was accused of harboring and supporting the Cathars. While Raymond’s motivations were complex, his apparent reluctance to persecute the Cathars made him an easy target for the papacy, which saw him as an obstacle to its desire for religious unity and control over the region.

Childhood Obesity - Causes...

MAX EDITORIAL

Childhood obesity is a growing public health problem involving excessive accumulation of body fat in children and adolescents. This condition is one of the most pressing concerns today, given its substantial impact on the health and well-being of younger generations. This chapter will discuss the definition and prevalence of childhood obesity, as well as highlight the importance of the topic in the context of public health.Definition and Prevalence of Childhood ObesityChildhood obesity is characterized by excess body weight that is associated with health risks. It is often assessed using the body mass index (BMI), which takes into account the relationship between weight and height. When the BMI of a child or adolescent is above the established limits for their age group, they are considered obese. However, it is worth mentioning that childhood obesity is not just an aesthetic problem, but a health issue that is closely linked to a number of medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in recent decades. It has become a global phenomenon, affecting both developed and developing countries. The transition from less healthy eating patterns, combined with a sedentary lifestyle and constant exposure to ultra-processed foods , contributed to the spread of this problem. Childhood obesity rates vary by region and population, but in many places, the numbers are alarming and indicate a public health crisis.Importance of the Topic and Its Relevance to Public HealthChildhood obesity should not be underestimated as its implications go far beyond individual health concerns. It has a profound impact on communities, health systems and the broader economy. Obese children are at greater risk of becoming obese adults , increasing the chances of developing debilitating and costly chronic diseases. This puts a significant strain on healthcare systems, consuming valuable resources that could be allocated elsewhere.In addition, childhood obesity also influences social and emotional issues. Obese children often face discrimination, bullying and low self-esteem , which can hinder their psychosocial development. This can have lasting effects throughout life, affecting quality of life and productive participation in society.In light of these challenges, addressing childhood obesity has become a global priority. The need for effective preventive interventions, nutritional education programs, promotion of physical activity and changes in public policies is crucial to reverse this worrying trend. This book will explore these issues in detail, providing insights into the underlying causes, consequences , and multidisciplinary approaches that can be taken to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic comprehensively and effectively.

Florida at Sea - A Maritime History

Joe Knetsch

From small ports to large ports, from rivers to creeks, from lakes to lagoons, water routes have been essential to Florida's development as a commercial, recreational, agricultural, and cultural entity. With more than 30,000 lakes and ponds and some 1,700 rivers, creeks, and streams, Florida ranks second in the list of wettest states in the USA. Native Americans used the rivers, creeks, and lakes as routes to various locales within the peninsula while harvesting fish and other aquatic edibles to sustain their daily lives. Early European settlers followed suit and supplemented their diets with the bounty from the oceans and fresh water sources. Into statehood, settlers relied on the same sources for food while using fresh water to make the land productive for food and cash crops. By the early decades of the 20th Century, water became a marketable attraction to lure millions of tourists to Florida for recreation and sports. The trend continues today. Join a trio of authors on this look at the immense impact water and maritime activities have played in the development of Florida.
