Beschreibung

Gregorian Reform explores the dramatic shift from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, a change that briefly erased eleven days in 1582 for many Europeans. This book investigates the scientific, social, and political factors behind this reform, highlighting how a seemingly technical adjustment triggered widespread resistance and gradual global adaptation.

 
For over 1600 years, the Julian calendar miscalculated the solar year, leading to a ten-day discrepancy affecting religious observances like Easter. The book examines the meticulous calculations made by Pope Gregory XIII's commission to devise a more accurate system. It details the vehement reactions to the new calendar, particularly from Protestant countries that viewed it as a "Papist plot," and traces its eventual worldwide adoption.

 
Using primary sources and astronomical data, this book offers a balanced perspective on a pivotal moment in timekeeping history. The book begins with historical context, progresses through the scientific basis and social reactions, and concludes with its global implementation. It is a valuable resource for those intrigued by history of science or the sociology of time.

    In today’s deeply divisive political environment, the constant media storm pits Democrats against Republicans and liberals against conservatives, and drives narratives that describe Donald Trump as the worst president in American history who should be incarcerated forever for high crimes against society. But another segment of America believes Trump is the savior of the nation and worthy of sainthood. 
    What is the truth? Is there an acceptable reality somewhere within these two extremes? Can we know what actually guides Trump’s larger than life political persona? What really makes him tick? Is he worthy of the support of an American people desperately seeking the best for a nation in turmoil? 
    The Magic and Mayhem of Donald Trump lays out with uncommon clarity the reality of the Trump enigma. Known for his supreme self-confidence, inexhaustible ambition, braggadocio, arrogance, vanity, and knack for thriving amid conflict, Trump, who fights opponents with a fierce intensity that is often cruel and harsh, also possesses a firm but realistic sense of right and wrong influenced by a simple faith and bears a serious connection to everyday common people that springs from his past. 
    You will confidently discover, amidst the magic and the mayhem, the real man behind the myth. And in the process, you just might acquire a renewed or even novel appreciation for this American original.

    The following are the live recordings of William Butler Yeats reading and discussing the inspiration behind three of his most famous poems, "The Lake Island of Innisfree," "The Fiddler of Dooney," and "Song of the Old Mother." Yeats made these three recordings in 1932, 1934, and on October 28, 1937 when he was 72. 
     
    "The Lake Island of Innisfree" is a twelve-line poem comprising three quatrains, written in 1888 and first published in the National Observer in 1890. The poem is featured in Irish passports. "The Fiddler of Dooney" was first published in 1892. The word "Dooney" refers to Dooney Rock, a small hill overlooking Lough Gill near Sligo. The central theme of poem is the celebration of life and the joy that comes from living it to the fullest. "Song of the Old Mother" first appeared in The Wind Among the Reeds anthology, published in 1899. Written in first person, the poem echoes Yeats' fascination with the Irish peasantry, explaining the difficult chores and struggles of an aged, unfortunate woman.
