Sinopse

"Cosmic Faith" explores the deep connections between ancient astronomy, astrology, and the formation of religious beliefs and ethical systems. It delves into how civilizations of the past, lacking modern scientific understanding, interpreted celestial movements as divine guidance and cosmic order.

 
The book illuminates how early societies used celestial observations not only for practical purposes like navigation but also to develop complex cosmological models that influenced religious narratives. You'll discover how perceived cosmic forces played a role in shaping concepts of good and evil, fate, and free will.

 
The book unfolds in three parts: first, it introduces the fundamentals of ancient astronomy and astrology, explaining how early cultures tracked celestial events and assigned symbolic meanings to celestial bodies. Then, it examines case studies, detailing how these beliefs manifested in the religious practices and ethical codes of various cultures. Finally, it synthesizes these findings to demonstrate the broader impact of cosmic symbolism on the development of religious thought, from the concept of a divinely ordered universe to the role of celestial cycles in ritual practices.

 
This approach challenges the misconception that early religious beliefs were irrational, offering instead a nuanced understanding of how early people integrated empirical observation with spiritual insight.

Inclusive Transportation - A...

Veronica O. Davis, Tamika L. Butler

Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the United States face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities? 
 
 
 
In Inclusive Transportation, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. 
 
 
 
Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.

The Decline and Fall of the...

Henry Gee

"Henry Gee presents a pithy, fascinating account of the stages of biological evolution. ... a meditative and friendly listening experience. —AudioFile on A (Very) Short History of Life on EarthWritten and read by the award-winning author of A (Very) Short History of Life on Earth: a history of humanity on the brink of decline.A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read SelectionWe are living through a period that is unique in human history. For the first time in more than ten thousand years, the rate of human population growth is slowing down. In the middle of this century population growth will stop, and the number of people on Earth will start to decline—fast. In this provocative book, award-winning science writer Henry Gee offers a concise, brilliantly-told history of our species—and argues that we are on a rapid, one-way trip to extinction. The Decline and Fall of the Human Empire narrates the dramatic rise of humanity, how a scattered range of small groups across several continents eventually inbred, interacted, fought, established stable communities and food supplies, and began the process of dominating the planet. The human story is relatively brief—the oldest fossils of H. Sapiens date to approximately 300,000 years ago—yet the spread of our species has been unstoppable…until recently. As Gee demonstrates, our population has peaked, and is declining; our environment is becoming inimical to human life in many locations; our core resources of water, arable land, and air are diminishing; and new diseases, simmering conflicts, and ambiguous technologies threaten our collective health. Can we still change our course? Or is our own extinction inevitable?There could be a way out, but the launch window is narrow.Unless Homo sapiens establishes successful colonies in space within the next two centuries, our species is likely to stay earthbound and will have vanished entirely within another ten thousand years, bringing the seven-million-year story of the human lineage to an end.With assured narration, dramatic stories, and his signature sprightly humor, Henry Gee envisions new opportunities for the future of humanity—a future that will reward facing challenges with ingenuity, foresight, and cooperation.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
