Sinopse

Mayan Calendar explores the fascinating Long Count, a sophisticated timekeeping system central to Mayan civilization. The book unveils how this intricate calendar shaped Mayan life, offering unique insights into their worldview, advanced astronomy, and complex mathematics. One intriguing aspect is the Mayan's base-20 number system, including their innovative concept of zero. The book also highlights how the calendar wasn't just about tracking days; it governed religious ceremonies, agricultural practices, and even legitimized the rule of kings.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of the Mayan civilization, then delving into the mathematical and astronomical foundations of the Long Count. It then investigates the historical interpretations of key dates and the evolution of scholarly understanding. By synthesizing archaeological evidence, epigraphic studies, and astronomical data, Mayan Calendar provides a balanced view of Mayan timekeeping, separating fact from the 2012 phenomenon and other misinterpretations.

The Shortest History of Our...

David Baker

A complete history of the universe, spanning 13.8 billion years in an ultra-accessible, uncommonly illuminating, exhilarating chronicle of key events 
 
 
 
In this thrilling history, David Baker captures the longest-possible time span—from the Big Bang to the present day—in an astonishingly concise retelling. His impressive timeline includes the "rise of complexity" in the cosmos and the creation of the first atoms; the origin of all galaxies, stars, and our solar system; and the evolution of life on Earth, from tiny single-celled organisms to human beings. 
 
 
 
Weaving together insights across the sciences—including chemistry, physics, biology, archaeology, and anthropology—Baker answers the fundamental questions: How did time begin? Why does matter exist? What made life on Earth the way it is? He also argues that never before has life on Earth been forced to adjust to a changing climate so rapidly, nor has one species ever been responsible for such sudden change. Baker's grand view offers the clearest picture of what may come next—and the role we can still play in our planet's fate.

Redefining the Boundaries of...

Paul Cerrato, John D. Halamka

Health care as it stands today needs to be re-imagined. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine by Paul Cerrato and Dr. John Halamka challenges the profession to renegotiate its priorities and address the fact that it’s become timid and reluctant to explore new care delivery models. The guiding premise of this book is that rethinking and reimagining the way medicine is practiced in the 21st century will improve health outcomes, and that technology is central to this transformation. Dr. Halamka is the President and Paul Cerrato is the Senior Research Analyst and Communications Specialist for Mayo Clinic Platform, which is harnessing novel technologies to change how care is provided. This cutting-edge work, along with their combined 80 years of experience in healthcare, afford Dr. Halamka and Mr. Cerrato authoritative voices in technology and health care. This book shows how one-size-fits-all health care is slowly giving way to a more precise, personalized approach that takes into account each person’s unique environmental and genetic risk factors. It discusses the use of several emerging technological tools that give each patient a unique “topographical map” to navigate their journey. Artificial intelligence in health care must be accurate, equitable and ethical; providers need to embrace a better way to predict diseases, identify effective treatments and rethink much of the conventional wisdom that has been handed down over the decades. Redefining the Boundaries of Medicine provides the guide to doing just that.
