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.

December in Dacca - The Indian...

KS Nair, P. Mathai Abraham

The 1971 war between India and Pakistan, to help liberate the beleaguered people of Bangladesh, is considered one of the last 'just wars' of the twentieth century. Good triumphed decisively, unequivocally and indisputably. Yet, given the scale of atrocity that was halted in its tracks, it is shocking that the compelling circumstances as well as numerous poignant and heart-warming stories of the war have failed to become iconic representations of military intervention and success in the folklore and popular culture of India, Bangladesh and beyond. 
December in Dacca seeks to right this wrong. From the dramatic dogfight over Boyra to the cornering of Pakistani naval vessels at Karachi to the Indian helicopter-riding infantry and paratroopers forcing the enemy to retreat, the book retells the many thrilling anecdotes, setting them within their diplomatic, strategic and tactical contexts. 
It also provides a glimpse into the lives of some of these heroes once the dust had settled. Most importantly, it offers thoughts on why the events of 1971 are not better known, and how a better understanding of those could help India reaffirm her sense of self.
