    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.

    The Definitive Guide to Mastering Telehealth In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the healthcare landscape experienced an unprecedented transformation, thrusting millions of clinicians into telehealth. What was once a niche method of providing care rapidly became the new standard overnight.  While some healthcare providers have adapted well, many find themselves wrestling with the challenges of telehealth. Mastering telehealth requires an entirely different set of tools and practices—ones that are not typically taught in medical schools. So what distinguishes those who flourish from those who struggle?  In what is becoming the quintessential guide to telehealth, experts Dr. Brandon M. Welch and Dr. Aditi U. Joshi invite readers to explore what it takes to be successful with telemedicine. Enriched by captivating case studies, groundbreaking research, and firsthand experiences, Drs. Welch and Joshi unravel the complexities of telehealth, offering invaluable insights into its failures, successes, and untapped potential.  They point out that success in telehealth requires success in each of the five critical domains: Patient Success: Ensuring that patients not only receive the quality of care they expect but also experience it in a manner most suited to their preferences. Clinician Success: Empowering clinicians and healthcare organizations to deliver world-class care in a manner that complements their practice. Technology Success: Demystifying the technology that underpins telehealth, emphasizing the importance of intuitive, reliable platforms. Financial Success: Providing a framework for clinicians, insurers, and patients to reap the financial benefits of telehealth adoption. Compliance Success: Navigating the legal landscape of telehealth, helping clinicians leverage healthcare laws and regulations to their advantage.  By following the actionable strategies outlined in this comprehensive book, healthcare providers can transition from merely adopting telehealth to thriving with it.  Telehealth holds the promise of shaping a healthcare future that is more accessible, convenient, affordable, and equitable than we've ever known. And this book is your ultimate roadmap to that future.
