Sinopsis

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.

A practical examination of teaching while nonmonogamous, and how parents and administrators can support polyamorous educators. 
Educators are often overworked, underpaid and at the crosshairs of every cultural debate. Teachers dedicate themselves to creating safe, nurturing environments for students, but are themselves subjected to levels of personal scrutiny practically unseen in other professions. In some careers, keeping a picture of your loved ones on your desk isn’t worth a second thought. For teachers with nontraditional families, it can come with the risk of becoming a political football. 
Informed by her firsthand experience as a nonmonogamous educator, Ashley Speed examines the typical objections raised about nonmonogamous people teaching children, how to refute them and how to navigate some of the difficulties of being a nonmonogamous teacher in today’s stormy political waters. It also offers practical advice for administrators and parents who want to support nonmonogamous teachers, and tips for teachers on how to make their classrooms friendly for kids from nonmonogamous families.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
Lessons From Nature: Finding Wisdom in the World Around Us is a collaboration between photographer Wadih Moussa and psychologist Dr. Valeria Ecaterina Purcia, blending the quiet beauty of nature with the clarity of psychological insight. 
In the audiobook edition, each chapter begins with a brief description of a photograph—a still moment captured in nature—followed by a reflection on the life lesson it holds: the diligence of a bee, the endurance of a tree, the contentment of a bird. These stories invite the listener to slow down, pay attention, and discover how nature mirrors the values that ground and sustain us. 
Adding depth to each chapter, Dr. Purcia draws on her experience as a psychologist, educator, and author to explore the emotional and mental dimensions of these natural lessons. Her contributions turn each entry into a practical meditation on resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth. 
This audiobook is both contemplative and usable. It speaks to those who crave meaning in a noisy world, who want to reconnect with themselves, and who believe that nature still has something to teach us if we’re willing to listen. 
Whether drawn by the imagery, the life lessons, or the psychological reflections, listeners will find here a quiet space for renewal. A place to pause. A path back to balance.

In quiet, lovely prose, Julie Brill has delivered a powerful reminder of why our stories—personal, familial, historical—are so crucial. A moving excavation of a family story. –Menachem Kaiser, author of Plunder: A Memoir of Family Property and Nazi Treasure 
Discover a powerful, untold chapter of Holocaust history and a daughter’s enduring quest to know the story that began a generation before her birth. From childhood, Julie Brill struggled to understand how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade, where Nazis murdered 90 percent of the Jewish population without gas chambers or cattle cars. Through exacting research, a bit of luck, and three emotional trips to Serbia, she pieces together her family’s lost past, unearths secrets, and returns to her father a small part of what the Nazis stole: his own family history.
