Synopsis

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.

Virtual Searches - Regulating...

Christopher Slobogin

A host of technologies—including digital cameras, drones, facial recognition devices, night-vision binoculars, automated license plate readers, GPS, geofencing, DNA matching, datamining, and artificial intelligence—have enabled police to carry out much of their work without leaving the office or squad car, in ways that do not easily fit the traditional physical search and seizure model envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. Virtual Searches develops a useful typology for sorting through this bewildering array of old, new, and soon-to-arrive policing techniques. It then lays out a framework for regulating their use that expands the Fourth Amendment's privacy protections without blindly imposing its warrant requirement, and that prioritizes democratic over judicial policymaking. 
 
 
 
The coherent regulatory regime developed in Virtual Searches ensures that police are held accountable for their use of technology without denying them the increased efficiency it provides in their efforts to protect the public. Whether policing agencies are pursuing an identified suspect, constructing profiles of likely perpetrators, trying to find matches with crime scene evidence, collecting data to help with these tasks, or using private companies to do so, this book provides a template for ensuring their actions are constitutionally legitimate and responsive to the polity.

History of Chile - Colonialism...

Kelly Mass

The history of Chile spans thousands of years, with evidence suggesting that the region was inhabited as early as 10,000 years ago. Migrating Native Americans are believed to have settled in the fertile valleys and coastal areas, forming over a dozen distinct Amerindian cultures. These early inhabitants may have arrived via the Pacific coast in a rapid expansion predating the Clovis civilization or through trans-Pacific migration. Archaeological sites such as Monte Verde, Cueva del Milodón, and the Pali Aike Crater provide critical evidence of this early human activity. Monte Verde, in particular, predates the Clovis site by thousands of years, challenging traditional theories of the first human migrations to the Americas.
By the time of Spanish exploration in the 16th century, various indigenous groups occupied the land. The Mapuche, who inhabited south-central Chile, were the most significant and resilient, maintaining their independence through centuries of conflict with Spanish colonizers and later the Chilean state. Their resistance was emblematic of the challenges faced by Spanish conquistadors who arrived in 1540 under the leadership of Pedro de Valdivia. Despite fierce resistance, Valdivia founded Santiago in 1541, marking the beginning of Chile's colonial era.
Chile was part of the Spanish Empire from 1540 to 1818. During this period, the colony developed an economy centered on agriculture and the extraction of natural resources like saltpeter and, later, copper. While these resources bolstered the economy, they also led to over-reliance on commodity exports and tensions with neighboring countries. The War of the Pacific (1879–1884) exemplified such conflicts, as Chile battled Bolivia and Peru over control of the nitrate-rich Atacama Desert.
