Sinossi

In "Campanalogia: or The Art of Ringing Improved," Fabian Stedman meticulously examines the intricate craft of change ringing, a musical and mathematical exercise involving the ringing of church bells. This seminal work, published in 1668, employs a clear, didactic approach, merging precise mathematical theory with practical instruction. Stedman synthesizes contemporary knowledge of bell ringing, presenting not only the techniques of this auditory art form but also the historical significance of bell ringing in English society. The treatise is characterized by a blend of instructional prose and innovative algorithms, reflecting the 17th-century intellectual milieu where art, science, and mathematics converged in public life. Fabian Stedman, an accomplished bell ringer and mathematician of his time, was driven by a passion for the enhancement of ringing techniques, recognizing its social and spiritual importance. His deep commitment to the craft is evident in his rigorous analysis and personal engagement with ringing practices. His background provided him with insight into the mathematical underpinnings of the art, allowing him to elevate the practice for future generations. "Campanalogia" is not merely a manual; it is a profound exploration of the harmony between mathematics and music. Whether readers are historians, mathematicians, or enthusiasts of musical traditions, this work serves as an essential resource that enriches one's understanding of an art form that resonates deeply within English cultural heritage.

    Buried beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt lies a secret history far darker than the pyramids, pharaohs, and golden treasures we think we know… 
    For centuries, whispers of a forbidden ritual have haunted archaeologists and historians, a chilling practice woven into the rise and fall of Egypt’s most powerful rulers. In The Pharaoh’s Kill List: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Tradition of Human Sacrifice, bestselling researcher Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on a world where divine kingship demanded blood, loyalty was enforced through death, and every royal tomb carried secrets meant to stay hidden forever. 
    Through newly analyzed evidence, forgotten stelae, and translations of long-overlooked texts, this book dives deep into: 
    ·        The origins of human sacrifice in early dynastic Egypt—and why it suddenly disappeared 
    ·        Shocking archaeological finds that reveal entire retinues killed to serve their king beyond death 
    ·        The Pharaohs who expanded, concealed, or weaponized sacrificial rituals 
    ·        How religion, fear, and absolute power shaped one of the most secretive traditions in the ancient world 
    Perfect for fans of ancient history, true crime, Egyptology, anthropology, and dark historical mysteries, this book delivers a gripping blend of scholarship and narrative storytelling. Every chapter pulls you deeper into the ritual logic of a civilization where gods walked among men—and where appeasing them required unthinkable acts. 
    If you believe you already know Ancient Egypt…Prepare to be proven wrong. 
    Enter the tomb. Face the truth. Discover what—and who—the Pharaohs were willing to sacrifice.

    A pop culture celebration of Fred Rogers and the enduring legacy of his beloved, award-winning PBS show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood that offers essential wisdom to help us in our troubled times.  
    Won’t you be my neighbor? 
    For more than thirty years, Fred Rogers was a beloved fixture in American homes. Warm and welcoming, he spoke directly to children—and their parents—about the marvels of the world, the things that worried them, and above all, the importance of being themselves. Dressed in his cardigan and sneakers, Fred Rogers offered a wholesome message of generosity and love that changed the landscape of television and shaped a generation of children. Kindness and Wonder pays tribute to this cultural icon: the unique, gentle man who embodied the best of what we could be. Today’s audiences will be reminded of Mr. Rogers’s uplifting persona in the upcoming TriStar Pictures film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (November 2019), where Tom Hanks stars as the real-life Fred Rogers.   
    Looking back at the history of the show and the creative visionary behind it, pop culture aficionado Gavin Edwards reminds us of the indelible lessons and insights that Mister Rogers conveyed—what it means to be a good person, to be open-hearted, to be thoughtful, to be curious, to be compassionate—and why they matter. Beautifully crafted, infused with Mister Rogers’ gentle spirit, and featuring dozens of interviews with people whose lives were touched by Fred Rogers—ranging from Rita Moreno to NFL Hall of Famer Lynn Swann—Kindness and Wonder is a love letter to this unforgettable cultural hero and role model, and the beautiful neighborhood he created.

    "An engaging glimpse into a world both fascinating and fundamentally unknowable to those who aren't born into it." —R. E. BURRILLO, author of Behind the Bears Ears 
     
     
     
    Craig Childs bears witness to rock art of the Colorado Plateau—bighorn sheep pecked behind boulders, tiny spirals in stone, human figures with upraised arms shifting with the desert light, each one a portal to the open mouth of time. With a spirit of generosity, humility, and love of the arid, intricate landscapes of the desert Southwest, Childs sets these ancient communications in context, inviting listeners to look and listen deeply.
