Sinopse

Lost Calendars explores the fascinating history of timekeeping by delving into ancient and often forgotten calendrical systems. It reveals how civilizations tracked time, embedding sophisticated science and deep cultural significance into their methods. These lost calendars offer insights into the worldviews of past societies and challenge our assumptions about the universality of time. For example, the intricate Mayan calendar system showcased remarkable mathematical precision linked to complex cosmological beliefs. Similarly, Mesopotamian calendars were closely tied to agriculture and early record-keeping practices, demonstrating the vital role of timekeeping in daily life. The book examines the technological and astronomical expertise needed to construct these calendars and their connection to social, religious, and agricultural practices. It progresses from introducing fundamental concepts like solar and lunar calendars to specific case studies, ultimately discussing why these systems were abandoned due to factors like conquest or the adoption of standardized timekeeping. By treating calendars as cultural artifacts, Lost Calendars provides invaluable insights into the intellectual and spiritual lives of past civilizations, offering alternative ways of understanding our place in the cosmos.

    For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
     
     
     
    Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
     
     
     
    In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.

    Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior. 
     
     
     
    Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions? 
     
     
     
    Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau's and other scientists' research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees—they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.
