Sinossi

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.

How to Lose the Hounds - Maroon...

Celeste Winston

In How to Lose the Hounds Celeste Winston explores marronage—the practice of flight from and placemaking beyond slavery—as a guide to police abolition. She examines historically Black maroon communities in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, that have been subjected to violent excesses of police power from slavery until the present day. Tracing the long and ongoing historical geography of Black freedom struggles in the face of anti-Black police violence in these communities, Winston shows how marronage provides critical lessons for reimagining public safety and community well-being. These freedom struggles take place in what Winston calls maroon geographies—sites of flight from slavery and the spaces of freedom produced in multigenerational Black communities. Maroon geographies constitute part of a Black placemaking tradition that asserts life-affirming forms of community. Winston contends that maroon geographies operate as a central method of Black flight, holding ground, and constructing places of freedom in ways that imagine and plan a world beyond policing.

The Hidden Plague - A Holistic...

Tara Grant

Have you been plagued with boils, cysts, ingrown hairs, and acne-like bumps that take months to resolve, leave embarrassing scars, and cause considerable pain? Have you been to the doctor, only to leave with a prescription for antibiotics, few answers, and little to no hope? Hidradenitis supprativa (HS) is a poorly understood skin condition that is believed to affect nearly 12 million people in the US alone. Only a small fraction of those affected have been properly diagnosed, leaving many others to suffer in silence or pursue ill-advised conventional treatment methods that fail to address the cause of this painful condition. Tara Grant, a twenty-year sufferer of HS, has become an underground legend to her Internet community of HS victims by presenting a methodical, self-tested action plan to heal naturally. The centerpiece of her holistic approach rests on the understanding that HS is an autoimmune disorder caused by leaky gut syndrome. With a few simple dietary changes that eliminate certain trigger' foods, you can heal your gut, restore your skin, reclaim your health, and rid yourself of HS symptoms forever. That means no antibiotics, no experimental surgeries, and no more pain, suffering, or confusion.
You will learn to adopt a big picture perspective about disease and dysfunction, and understand how autoimmunity (the body attacking itself in an adverse manner) represents the root cause of many frustrating chronic health conditions. By modifying your diet and other lifestyle habits, you can break free from the suffering, frustration and uncertainty that seems to go hand in hand with autoimmune conditions and skin conditions like HS in particular. The Hidden Plague is a fabulous and comprehensive resource for not just HS specifically, but many other related inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
