Sinossi

Babylonian Time explores the origins of our modern timekeeping methods, revealing the sophisticated astronomical and mathematical systems of ancient Mesopotamia. It details how the Babylonians ingeniously predicted eclipses and shaped our perception of time. The book highlights the development and application of their sexagesimal system, a base-60 number system, which influenced everything from measuring angles to dividing time into hours, minutes, and seconds – a legacy still present today. It further shows how meticulous observations, recorded on cuneiform tablets, enabled these predictions and advanced their calendar systems.

 
The book provides historical context, explaining the social and political structure of ancient Mesopotamia and the role of priests and scribes in astronomical observation. It progresses by examining Babylonian mathematical techniques for predicting eclipses, exploring their calendar systems used to regulate agricultural cycles and religious observances, and analyzing the transmission of Babylonian astronomical knowledge to other cultures, including the Greeks.

 
By examining cuneiform texts and archaeological findings, Babylonian Time demonstrates how echoes of Babylonian thought are still audible in our daily lives.

    In a world increasingly shaped by fear, division, and rising authoritarianism, Finding My Humanity is a timely memoir that invites us back to what connects us most—our mutual capacity for love, empathy, and courage- indeed our shared humanity. Ryan Ubuntu Olson's journey begins in rural Colorado, where he wrestles with his identity in a community that offers little space for difference. As a queer young man navigating isolation, discrimination, and heartbreak, he is forced to reckon with what it means to live authentically in the face of rejection. But what begins as a personal struggle evolves into something far greater. On a conservative Catholic college campus, Ryan Ubuntu unexpectedly becomes a public advocate, confronting bias and building community. That role propels him into global human rights work, where he supports activists and inclusive development efforts in countries like Kenya, Jamaica, Peru, Malawi, and Cambodia. From the grassroots to the halls of the United Nations, Ryan Ubuntu becomes a bridge between lived experience and global policy, shaping strategies for inclusion and dignity worldwide. More than a memoir, Finding My Humanity is a reflection on what it means to turn pain into purpose—and how one person’s story can spark collective action. With raw honesty and unwavering hope, Ryan Ubuntu explores how our personal "why" can become a driving "how" in the fight for justice, connection, and change. Narrated by the author himself, the audiobook seeks to add deeper meaning to the memoir by adding the human depth and conviction that can only be expressed in the tone and intonation of the person most impacted by the memoir's greatest meaning. Whether you're seeking purpose, healing, or inspiration, this is a book for anyone ready to lead with heart in a world hungry for hope.
