  To Everything a Season is a beautifully crafted personal and reflective account of many years of the changing seasons, from autumn    to autumn, in and around a village on the edge of the Cambridge Fenland. It is an uplifting reflection about change: what was, what is, what will be.   
  It is about the miracle of the rich gift of life. It is also about death, loss, and the rebirth of the old into something rich and strange.   
  But it is also a book suffused with a gentle humour, with a deep love and sympathy for our fellow creatures. Charles Moseley tackles what we have done to the world of which we are not owners or masters but stewards, not only for our children but for the whole web of life on which everything depends.

  Quantum Physics Made Simple -...

  Quantum physics sounds brilliant—until someone actually tries to explain it. 
  Suddenly you’re drowning in equations, paradoxes, or New Age promises. You’re told particles can be in two places at once… that time isn’t real… that light behaves like a wave and a particle… but no one seems to explain how or why in a way that actually makes sense. 
  So you nod, smile, and move on—still confused. 
  This audiobook fixes that. 
  You’ll understand what superposition really is. What tunneling actually means. How Einstein proved light could knock out electrons. Why your thoughts might influence physical matter. And how quantum theory is powering the next generation of computers and technologies. 
  Here’s what you’ll take away:Why Max Planck’s idea shattered physics—and created an entirely new oneWhat the birth of the universe has to do with particle uncertaintyHow particles tunnel through walls (yes, seriously)Why black body radiation melted 19th-century science—and changed everythingWhat light really is, and why it behaves so weirdlyHow Einstein explained the photoelectric effect—and kicked off the tech ageWhy quantum physics and the Law of Attraction might have more in common than you thinkHow time works in quantum theory (hint: not how you expect)Why one particle can be in two places at once—and what that means for your computerWhat quantum computing is, and how it’s already rewriting the rules 
  If you’ve ever wished someone would finally explain quantum physics like a real person would, here it is.Start listening and see just how simple this “impossible” science can be.

  Mesoamerican Astronomy: The...

  Editors Charles River

  For the Maya, astronomy was not a purely scientific pursuit but intimately linked to religious, mythological, and ideological elements that were of the highest importance. The celestial realm held a sacred nature, as did the many gods and goddesses that dwelt there, so for all Mesoamerican cultures, astronomy was a fundamental part of their everyday lives. Thus, astronomy was present in their calendars, religion, and even agriculture, and in close relation to astronomy, the concept of time was also an essential part of their worldview.  
  The Aztec recorded many of the astronomical events they observed in codices and hieroglyphic inscriptions, but the main evidence of their deep astronomical knowledge comes from their calendar system. This information was then used to plan the orientation of buildings and ceremonial centers, which were aligned to sunrises or sunsets corresponding to special dates, such as solstices or equinoxes. Observational calendars were also used to schedule agricultural activities, as well as rituals, festivals, and celebrations. 
  Though the Spanish physically conquered them in quick fashion, the culture and legacy of the Inca Empire has continued to endure throughout the centuries in both Europe and South America, due in no small part to the fact they were one of the most advanced and sophisticated cultures on the continent. The sun was the main element present in the Inca worldview, so Inti, the sun god, was worshipped above all others and, even though the different parts of the empire were allowed to practice their individual beliefs, they were encouraged to venerate the sun. The connection with the sun even extended to their kings since they were considered to be the sons of the sun. Naturally, this meant astronomy was a key component of the Incas’ beliefs, and in addition to the sun, the Inca observed the moon, stars, constellations, and some planets, all of which became integral parts of their cosmology.
