Beschreibung

Mayan Mathematics explores the remarkable intellectual achievements of the Maya civilization, focusing on their sophisticated number system, calendrical computations, and astronomical observations. The Maya, despite lacking advanced technology, developed the concept of zero and charted celestial movements with incredible precision. Their mathematical system was deeply intertwined with their society, influencing everything from religious beliefs and ritual practices to agricultural planning and political power. The book reveals how the Maya used a base-20 (vigesimal) system and two calendars, the Haab (365-day solar) and the Tzolkin (260-day sacred), which combined to form the Calendar Round. It examines their tracking of the Sun, Moon, and Venus, demonstrating how these observations informed their cosmology. By analyzing inscriptions, archaeological findings, and colonial-era texts, the book reconstructs Mayan mathematical thought.

 
The book begins with Mayan numerals and calendars, then moves to astronomical observations and their connection to Mayan cosmology. It concludes by exploring the legacy of Mayan mathematics and its influence on other Mesoamerican cultures. This approach makes complex concepts accessible, highlighting the Maya's unique contribution to the history of science and challenging Eurocentric views of intellectual development.

    Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relationships between living organisms and their interactions with their environment. This scientific discipline explores how organisms coexist within ecosystems, interact with one another, and adapt to their surroundings. The study of ecology is vital because it provides insight into the functioning of natural systems and the impact human activities have on the environment. It emphasizes the interdependence of all life forms, from microscopic bacteria to the largest animals, and underscores the intricate balance necessary for sustaining life on Earth. 
    At its core, ecology is concerned with understanding the distribution and abundance of organisms, as well as the processes that shape these patterns. It is a multidisciplinary field that draws from biology, geography, geology, chemistry, and physics. Ecologists examine how factors such as climate, geography, and natural resources influence the diversity of life in different habitats. They also study the effects of human intervention, such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change, on ecosystems.

    Symbiosis, the sustained and intimate associations between unrelated life forms, is now recognized as a ubiquitous phenomenon, one that has shaped evolution since the origin of life and that continues to affect all species. This overview of symbiosis starts with a quick history of relevant early discoveries and researchers, and considers why symbiosis was so long neglected as a respectable topic of biological research and why it was a controversial topic. Today, symbiosis is widely appreciated as being everywhere in nature and as a pervasive influence on ecological communities. One chapter explores the fundamental drivers that lead to symbiotic associations, using examples to illustrate the nature of services exchanged between symbiotic partners. Another considers the evolutionary stability of symbiotic partnerships, which can quickly decay in the face of symbiotic cheating. A full chapter is devoted to the most consequential of all symbioses: the origin of the complex (eukaryotic) cell, and the origin of chloroplasts and green plants. Other triumphs of symbiosis described include the root-fungus associations that enabled plants to colonize land 450 million years ago, gut microbial communities that empower animals to utilize a wide range of foods, including plant fiber wood and sap, and coral-algal symbioses that resulted in the rise of coral reefs.
