Sinossi

Ancient Tribal Calendars explores the sophisticated timekeeping methods of indigenous cultures, revealing their profound astronomical knowledge. These ancient civilizations, despite lacking modern technology, developed intricate calendars to predict seasonal changes and align their lives with nature’s rhythms. For example, the Mayan calendar showcases a complex understanding of celestial movements, while Aboriginal Australians used seasonal markers for navigation and resource management. These systems were not merely timekeeping devices; they were holistic integrations of astronomy, mathematics, and cultural practices crucial for societal survival. The book delves into the astronomical observations, socio-cultural roles, and mathematical principles behind these calendars. Moving beyond a purely scientific approach, the book contextualizes these calendars within specific cultural and environmental circumstances. The book progresses by first introducing fundamental astronomical principles, then exploring case studies like the Mayan calendar and Native American lunar calendars, and finally analyzing the mathematical underpinnings. By examining archaeological findings and ethnographical accounts, Ancient Tribal Calendars challenges Eurocentric views of scientific history and offers valuable lessons for sustainable living.

    As a Russian recruit in World War II, Ivan Makarov witnessed General Chuikov pull out his pistol and shoot their regimental commander as a traitor. That was on his first day at the front. Thrown into an open field to face German tanks and artillery fire, with only rifles and machine guns to defend themselves with, almost 2,000 men of his regiment were wiped out in only six days at the Eastern Front. At this rate, Ivan struggled to comprehend how he would survive the hundreds of battles that lay before him, with death seeming to be the only certainty. 
     
     
     
    In his raw and trenchant memoir, Ivan recounts the terror and despair faced by a Red Army soldier on the Eastern Front. He has no sympathy for Stalin and his incompetent commanders, who sought awards and recognition at the expense of their soldiers' lives. He simply wanted to serve his country. 
     
     
     
    It is rare to find first-hand accounts of the Great Patriotic War from Red Army soldiers, as many did not survive to tell the tale. For the first time, Ivan reveals his gripping recollections of battles, times, places, and people encountered throughout World War II, from when he was drafted in 1941 until their victory in 1945. These recollections he dared not put on paper until 1992.
