Beschreibung

Cyrus Thomas'Äôs "Day Symbols of the Maya Year" offers an insightful and comprehensive exploration of Maya calendrical systems, focusing on the complex interplay of myth, agriculture, and ritual within the framework of Mayan cosmology. Employing a meticulous literary style marked by precise terminology and rigorous analysis, Thomas delves into the symbolism behind each day in the Maya calendar, presenting a cultural tapestry rich with historical and anthropological significance. The book not only serves as an essential reference for understanding the intricate calendrical system of the Maya but also situates its findings within the broader context of Mesoamerican studies, highlighting the cultural importance of timekeeping in Maya society. Cyrus Thomas, a prominent American archaeologist and ethnologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, dedicated his career to unraveling the complexities of indigenous cultures in North and Central America. His extensive research in the realm of Mayan studies, coupled with his background in linguistics and archaeology, profoundly influenced his approach to the subject. Thomas'Äôs unique experiences, both academic and field-based, instilled in him a deep appreciation for the sophistication of Maya spiritual and social organization, driving his desire to illuminate their calendrical practices through scholarly rigor. "Day Symbols of the Maya Year" is a vital resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Mesoamerican culture. With its rich insights and detailed analyses, this work not only enhances the understanding of Maya timekeeping but also invites readers to appreciate the profound ways in which the Maya engaged with and interpreted their world. This book is essential for anyone seeking to delve deeper into the intricate cultural mechanisms that governed the lives of the Maya.

    George Stephenson was a British civil and mechanical engineer who lived from June the 9th 1781 to August the 12th 1848. Stephenson, called the "Dad of Railways," was regarded by Victorians as a great example of exertion and a desire to enhance. Samuel Smiles, a self-help supporter, applauded his achievements in particular. The four feet eight +12 inches (1.435 m) basic gauge used by the majority of the world's trains is based upon his chosen rail gauge, at times described as 'Stephenson gauge.' 
    Rail transport, which was created by Stephenson and was a crucial element of the Industrial Revolution, was just one of the most essential innovative developments of the nineteenth century. The Mobility No. 1 was the first steam engine to transport guests on a public railway, the Stockton and Darlington Train, in 1825. It was built by George and his child Robert's company, Robert Stephenson & Business. The Liverpool and Manchester Train, which opened in 1830, was the world's first public inter-city train path to use engines. 
    In this book, you will learn more about his inventions and his life.
