Beschreibung

Byzantine Calendar explores the intricate timekeeping system of the Byzantine Empire, a blend of Roman administration, Christian liturgy, and astronomical science. More than just a way to track days, the calendar shaped Byzantine identity and governance, influencing everything from agriculture to imperial policy.

 
The book reveals how the Byzantines adapted Roman calendar practices and integrated Christian religious cycles, like the calculation of Easter, into their daily lives. The book delves into the astronomical knowledge used to maintain the calendar's accuracy, linking celestial events to agricultural cycles.

 
The Byzantine calendar wasn't static; it evolved to harmonize imperial power, religious ideology, and scientific understanding. This unique calendrical system offers insights into the Byzantine worldview and the interplay between secular and sacred authority.

 
Beginning with the Roman roots of the Byzantine calendar, the book progresses through the Christianization of timekeeping, and culminates in an exploration of the astronomical knowledge applied to maintain its accuracy. Through original texts and archaeological findings, the book showcases the Byzantine Empire's commitment to harmonizing various aspects of life into a cohesive cultural framework.

    The intriguing, in-depth story of the most powerful woman in Canadian politics. *A NATIONAL BESTSELLER* 
     
     
     
    Catherine Tsalikis traces Chrystia Freeland's remarkable journey from the northwestern Alberta town of Peace River to Moscow, London, and New York, where she spent two decades as a journalist, to the halls of Parliament Hill as deputy prime minister and finance minister in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government. Ambitious and talented with a work ethic to match, Freeland has had an impressive run since she entered politics in 2013: spearheading major trade negotiations, expertly navigating relations with an erratic US president, speaking out about human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, and standing up to Vladimir Putin's aggressions in Ukraine. 
     
     
     
    With her impeccable research, seasoned perspective, and accessible style, Tsalikis brings Freeland's story to life. The defining moments and experiences that shaped Freeland's particular worldview illuminate the answers to larger social questions: how to live a good, useful life; how to hold fast to guiding principles; how to break through glass ceilings. This is a unique behind-the-curtains look at Canadian politics through the story of a trailblazing woman.

    A military operation unlike any other on American soil, Morgan's Raid was characterized by incredible speed, superhuman endurance, and innovative tactics. One of the nation's most colorful leaders, Confederate general John Hunt Morgan, took his cavalry through enemy-occupied territory in three states in one of the longest offensives of the Civil War. The effort produced the only battles fought north of the Ohio River and reached farther north than any other regular Confederate force. Morgan's Raid historian David L. Mowery takes a new look at this unprecedented event in American history, one historians rank among the world's greatest land-based raids since Elizabethan times.
