Sinopse

Mesopotamian Science reveals the pivotal role Mesopotamia played in laying the groundwork for modern science. Often overlooked, this ancient civilization's advancements in astronomy, mathematics, and medicine significantly influenced Greek and Hellenistic thought, shaping the course of scientific inquiry for millennia.

 
The book highlights the Mesopotamians' sophisticated understanding of celestial mechanics, evidenced by their meticulous observations and creation of predictive models like the Saros cycle, which allowed them to forecast eclipses. Further, their development of the base-60 number system, still used today for measuring time and angles, demonstrates their profound mathematical insight.

 
The book meticulously examines cuneiform texts and archaeological findings, revealing the depth of Mesopotamian knowledge. It is structured to provide a comprehensive overview, beginning with the historical context and progressing through detailed explorations of astronomy, mathematics, and medicine.

 
By emphasizing the ingenuity of Mesopotamian scholars and their empirical approach, Mesopotamian Science offers a fresh perspective on the origins of scientific thought and its lasting impact on our world.

    In the years after the Easter Rising of 1916 in Ireland, a new independence movement had emerged, and in 1918-19 the political party Sinn Féin and its paramilitary partner, the Irish Republican Army, began a political struggle and an armed uprising against British rule. By 1922 the United Kingdom had lost a very substantial portion of its territory, as the Irish Free State came into being amid a brutal civil war. At the same time Ireland was partitioned and a new, unionist government was established in what was now Northern Ireland.

    Tarot has always been a powerful guide for introspection and inner work, so what better tool to use when we're ready to do the really hard work? Author Maria Minnis takes a radical new look at the Major Arcana in this tarot workbook, which provides listeners a unique, personal understanding of systemic racism—and what steps we can take to begin to dismantle it. This book says tarot can be a tool for action, one that may offer great satisfaction as well as great difficulty, all while pushing you out of your comfort zone. 
     
     
      
    You'll explore the Major Arcana to uncover how each archetype can help cultivate a freer, anti-racist world. It will consider the upright, or benevolent, aspects of each card and how listeners can use those themes to dismantle internalized racism, racism in our relationships, and racism in our communities. As you move from the Fool to the World card, you'll discover that everything we do ripples beyond us, and that there are practical ways to change our actions and perspectives. 
     
     
      
    This is a book that speaks to both white and BIPOC audiences. The author addresses the human community as a whole and how racism affects our relationships to each other, to our communities, and to our institutions. This book addresses how the energy can be turned around into self-awareness, self-love, and positive action.

    Ranging from the earliest Native American settlers to the presidency of Barack Obama, this Very Short Introduction offers an illuminating account of politics, diplomacy, and war as well as the full spectrum of social, cultural, and scientific developments that shaped our country. 
     
     
     
    Here is a masterful picture of America's achievements and failures, large-scale socio-historical forces, and pivotal events. Boyer sheds light on the colonial era, the Revolution, and the birth of the new nation; right up to the tragedy of 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the epoch-making election of Barack Obama. Certain broad trends shape much of the narrative—immigration, urbanization, slavery, continental expansion, the global projection of U.S. power, the centrality of religion, the progression from an agrarian to an industrial to a post-industrial economic order. Boyer also highlights the diversity of the American experience and the crucial role of race, ethnicity, gender, and social class in shaping the contours of specific groups within the nation's larger tapestry. And along the way, he touches upon the cultural milestones of American history, from Tom Paine's The Crisis to Allen Ginsberg's Howl. 
     
     
     
    American History: A Very Short Introduction is a panoramic history of the United States, one that covers virtually every topic of importance.

    Has it ever happened to you that you suddenly couldn't keep up with an interesting conversation? Did you have the impression that everyone else around you was taking part in an exciting debate that you could only understand? That's not a nice feeling and can lead to embarrassing situations in which you appear uninformed and clueless. If you hardly know anything about the world, you are quickly left behind in conversations and find it difficult to form an opinion on socially relevant topics. In a fast-paced and increasingly hectic world, it is often difficult to distinguish between important and unimportant knowledge and to find the right words. But it's not that difficult to acquire important general knowledge in a very short space of time!
    That's exactly what I want to help you with this book. You don't have time to wade through huge encyclopaedias or spend hours researching topics on the Internet? Are you often unsure whether your sources really reflect the facts correctly and how you can actually apply your knowledge? Then reading this compact guide to general knowledge is the right thing for you! Instead of complicated explanations and pages and pages of figures and data, you can expect easy-to-understand, informative sections on relevant topics from a wide range of areas.
