  Ice Age The: The History and...

  The early history of Earth covers such vast stretches of time that years, centuries, and even millennia become virtually meaningless. Instead, paleontologists and scientists who study geochronology divide time into periods and eras.  
  	What humans commonly refer to as the “Ice Age” is actually a series of fluctuating climate events that have occurred throughout the planet’s history. These ongoing historical phenomena are difficult to conceptualize because of both the time frame involved and the natural process by which they cyclically unfold. The Earth’s climatic clock repeats the maneuver over millions of years per occurrence, a number that is intellectually graspable, but not viscerally well-perceivable by most members of the human race. The process by which ice ages form is not relevant to any societal function, and therefore remains a mystery. Those who attempt to define it are often met with either apathy or defiant superstition. 
  	As a basic definition, it may be said that an ice age is simply a period of time during which thick ice sheets cover vast areas of land. These sheets have advanced and retreated, at times taking over the entire planet, and conversely disappearing nearly altogether. Glacial ice formed by this regularly occurring process does not sit in a state of inertia, but moves dynamically, reshaping the geological features of the continents. Again, the time frame for glacial movement is far longer than any involving human activity, so close attention must be paid in order to correctly measure and interpret it for the modern day.

  The Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) is a widespread North American songbird commonly found throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America. It inhabits open woodlands, grasslands, farmlands, suburban neighborhoods, and gardens. It is known for its soft, mournful cooing, gentle whistles, and the distinctive whistling sound produced by its wings during flight. 
  In natural environments, Mourning Doves are most often heard during the early morning and evening hours, especially in open forests, woodland edges, parks, and residential landscapes. Their gentle calls contribute to the peaceful acoustic atmosphere of natural and rural environments and are among the most familiar bird sounds across North America. 
  Visually, the Mourning Dove is recognized for its slender body, long pointed tail, and soft grayish-brown plumage with subtle black spotting on the wings. Its delicate appearance, warm earth tones, and graceful flight make it one of North America's most recognizable and beloved birds.

  “Marla Brooks has crafted a down-to-earth collection of Witch Wisdom. The inclusion of Great-Grandma Sophie’s witchy tips adds a charming touch, making the reader feel as though they are receiving teachings from a trusted elder.” —Jason Miller, author of Consorting with Spirits and other works   Explore the seasons of the witch by way of magickal spells and practices for each turn of the Wheel of the Year. Magick for All Seasons offers a fresh approach to a lifestyle that focuses on mind, body, and spirit in the nature-based way that our ancestors practiced throughout the ages.   Each season is marked by a series of holy days, or sabbats, to honor the qualities of each time of the year, life’s lessons as revealed through nature, and our relationship with the god and goddess. These holy days are divided into Greater Sabbats and Lesser Sabbats which reflect the themes of birth, death, and rebirth. The spokes of the Wheel are comprised of the four Greater and four Lesser Sabbats.  “The biggest takeaway from the Wheel of the Year is that your life will ebb and flow just as plants drop their seeds, grow, lose their leaves, die in winter, and grow back again. Your life experiences all of the seasons in the human way.” —from the foreword by Lorriane Anderson   Starting with Samhain, author Marla Brooks, an experienced and longtime magickal practitioner, explores the eight Wiccan and Pagan sabbats that comprise the traditional Wheel of the Year. She incorporates original spells, recipes, incantations, meditations, and more that enhance the magick of each season. Each sabbat is detailed with information on the symbolism, activities, tools, incense, and gemstones used, along with specific workings and exercises.

  Gunpowder and the Printing...

  Editors Charles River

  In addition to the wheelbarrow, the seismograph, the waterwheel, deep drilling, suspension bridges, and ship rudders, among countless other life-changing contraptions, the Chinese developed what were later dubbed the “Four Great Inventions of China.” Two of those were gunpowder and printing, which both spread through South Asia and the Middle East before making it to Europe.  
  For a time, gunpowder was a mere curiosity, but its destructive power and military potential would be realized quickly. The first record of a cannon in Europe comes from a manuscript written in 1326, which has an illustration showing an armored man with what looks like a slow match lighting a vase-shaped object. This crude cannon was called a pot de fer in French and vasi in Italian. While medieval engineers developed new types of cannons and explosives capable of destroying walls and castles, others were making the first handguns possible. European sources first mentioned the widespread use of handgonnes, as they were often called, in the late 14th century, precisely the time when gunpowder became cheaper.  
  	The history of printing was for ancient Asia an advancement in culture and communication, but for Europe in the 15th century, it was much more, plunging the continent into a new paradigm and aligning it for the modern world. Its importance is often overlooked, but the timeliness of the printing machine was equivalent to the invention of alphabets in antiquity and ranks up there with the digital revolution and the introduction of the internet. Put simply, it made the Renaissance possible and led to the modernization of Europe. Based on earlier Asian principles, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type printing press propelled an industry that led to the education of the West and ultimately removed the tight grip of the Vatican from daily European life.
