Beschreibung

In "Outlines of Zuñi Creation Myths," Frank Hamilton Cushing presents a captivating exploration of the rich tapestry of Zuñi cosmology. Through a meticulous collection of oral traditions and narratives, the book employs a narrative style that blends ethnographic observation with poetic lyricism, offering readers not only a glimpse into the Zuñi world but also a profound appreciation for the community's cultural heritage. The text serves as a crucial document reflecting the late 19th-century anthropological discourse as Cushing seeks to preserve these vital narratives at a time when Indigenous cultures were at risk of erasure. Frank Hamilton Cushing, an early American anthropologist, was profoundly influenced by his experiences living among the Zuñi people of New Mexico. His commitment to understanding and accurately depicting Indigenous cultures fueled his interdisciplinary approach, which intertwined anthropology, linguistics, and art. Cushing's work was pioneering for its time, as he advocated for the importance of Indigenous voices and the preservation of their stories. "Outlines of Zuñi Creation Myths" is an essential read for anyone interested in anthropology, Indigenous studies, or the power of storytelling. Cushing's work invites readers to reflect on the profound connections between myths and cultural identity, making it a vital addition to the scholarly discourse surrounding Native American literature.

    Astronomy was an avid hobby for the ancient Maya, who recorded and interpreted every aspect of the sky. As a result, many of their most important buildings were built with astronomy in mind, because they believed it was possible to read the will and actions of the gods in the stars, moon, and planets. The Maya studied the sun, moon, and planets, especially Venus. 
    At Xultun, Guatemala, Maya daykeepers published astronomical tables tracking the movements of celestial bodies in the early 9th century during the heyday of Maya astronomy. The tables are also found in the Dresden Codex, a bark-paper book written in the 15th century. Specialist astronomical observers corrected and maintained Maya calendars, which were largely based on ancient Mesoamerican calendars created at least as early as 1500 BCE. The Maya even structured their government in part based on astronomy tracking requirements.

    In an era of unprecedented access to knowledge, why does ignorance thrive? Why do conspiracy theories, science denial, and anti-expert sentiment dominate public discourse? And how did we reach a point where misinformation spreads faster than facts, and critical thinking is treated as an elitist threat? 
    From the war on expertise and the rise of conspiracy thinking to the manipulation of public opinion through propaganda and technology, this book reveals the deep-rooted causes of our current crisis. More importantly, it offers a roadmap to reclaim reason, evidence-based discourse, and the intellectual curiosity necessary for a thriving society. 
    The Cult of Ignorance is a thought-provoking exploration of the forces fueling modern anti-intellectualism. Drawing from history, psychology, media analysis, and political strategy, this book unpacks how ignorance is not merely a lack of knowledge but a weaponized ideology—one that serves powerful interests, weakens democracy, and threatens societal progress.

While his friends and family have no idea of his activities during the War, his daughter Nora and his grandson Andrew, being interested in recent history, begin to suspect their (grand-) father’s dark secret.How far does moral responsibility go? Can really heavy guilt ever be expiated in Dostoyevsky’s sense or is there no hope for atonement by later generations? Is it ever too late to learn fundamental lessons from political developments?
