Sinopsis

Egyptian Time explores how ancient Egyptians perceived and codified time, revealing a system deeply interwoven with their environment and beliefs. The book highlights their sophisticated solar-based calendar and its origins, dictated by the sun and the Nile's rhythm. Readers will discover how crucial events like the annual Nile flood were meticulously tracked, impacting their agricultural society, religious festivals, and administrative duties. The Egyptians' ingenuity in timekeeping, particularly their civil calendar, laid the foundation for many concepts we use today.

 
The book progresses from the fundamental principles of Egyptian astronomy and mathematics to the development of their unique civil calendar. It details how the Egyptians tracked the Nile's inundation through the Sothic cycle, integrating this knowledge into their calendar system.

 
What makes this book unique is its emphasis on the practical and adaptive nature of Egyptian timekeeping, showcasing its effectiveness in managing society and influencing modern methods. Drawing from hieroglyphic texts, astronomical records, and archaeological findings, Egyptian Time presents a nuanced and up-to-date account of this fascinating aspect of ancient Egyptian civilization. It connects to interdisciplinary fields like astronomy, hydrology, and religious studies, providing a holistic view of this cornerstone of human history and timekeeping.

Nineteen Reservoirs - On Their...

Luc Sante

Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. 
 
 
 
From 1907 to 1967, a network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York, including Greene, Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties. This feat of engineering served to meet New York City's ever-increasing need for water, sustaining its inhabitants and cementing it as a center of industry. West of the Hudson, it meant that twenty-six villages, with their farms, forest lands, orchards, and quarries, were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, and submerged, profoundly altering ecosystems in ways we will never fully appreciate. 
 
 
 
This paradox of victory and loss is at the heart of Nineteen Reservoirs, Lucy Sante's meticulous account of how New York City secured its seemingly limitless fresh water supply, and why it cannot be taken for granted. In inimitable form, Sante plumbs the historical record to surface forgotten archives and images, bringing lost places back to life on the page. Her immaculately calibrated sensitivity honors both perspectives on New York City's reservoir system and helps us understand the full import of its creation.

Metacognitive Therapy - Free...

Linda Burlan Sørensen

“Metacognitive Therapy – Free Yourself from Imprisoning Thoughts”
Metacognitive therapy is a groundbreaking approach in psychology, emphasizing the identification and challenge of metacognitive processes that individuals employ when dealing with their thoughts and feelings. By understanding and addressing the metacognitive management systems underlying behaviour and thought patterns, individuals can break free from the cycle of anxiety, depression, and stress. Offering a comprehensive understanding and practical guidance, the book empowers readers to explore the mechanisms behind thought patterns and emotional reactions influencing their well-being.
We cannot get better by ruminating and worrying. Nevertheless, these are the strategies for many who suffer from anxiety and depression. But a wound does not heal by continuing to scratch at it. It just becomes bigger and bigger. If we spend several hours each day wondering about our gloomy thoughts, we become even more depressed and anxious, and do not thrive well psychologically. By using cases as examples, "Metacognitive Therapy – Free Yourself from Imprisoning Thoughts" shows us how metacognitive therapy can help us manage our thought processes. At the same time, this book is also a critical voice and warning about the evaluation culture we have created. A culture where more and more people are developing anxiety and depressive disorders because we are constantly under surveillance and must fit into certain schemas. We need to learn how to think for ourselves and be aware that we can regain control over our thought processes.
The author Linda Burlan Sørensen is a licensed clinical psychologist and specialist in psychotherapy and supervision. She is an expert in metacognitive therapy and owner of the Neokognitivt Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark, which offers therapy, professional courses, education, and supervision.

Scottish Literature - An...

Alan Riach

What do we mean by 'Scottish literature'?
Why does it matter?
How do we engage with it?
Bringing infectious enthusiasm and a lifetime's experience to bear on this multi-faceted literary nation, Alan Riach, Professor of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow, sets out to guide you through the varied and ever-evolving landscape of Scottish literature.
A comprehensive and extensive work designed not only for scholars but also for the generally curious, Scottish Literature: an introduction tells the tale of Scotland's many voices across the ages, from Celtic pre-history to modern mass media. Forsaking critical jargon, Riach journeys chronologically through individual works and writers, both the famed and the forgotten, alongside broad overviews of cultural contexts which connect texts to their own times. Expanding the restrictive canon of days gone by, Riach also sets down a new core body of 'Scottish Literature': key writers and works in English, Scots, and Gaelic.
Ranging across time and genre, Scottish Literature: an introduction invites you to hear Scotland through her own words.
