Beschreibung

Solar Time explores the history of solar calendars and ancient civilizations' ingenious methods of timekeeping. These calendars were not just time-measuring tools, but crucial to religious practices, agricultural planning, and social structures. The book reveals how cultures, like the Egyptians and Mayans, developed sophisticated systems to align daily life with the sun's movements. These calendars demonstrate humanity's early grasp of astronomical principles; for example, the Mayan calendar's intricate mathematical underpinnings highlight its role in their cosmology. The book investigates diverse methodologies in constructing solar calendars and adapting to seasonal changes. It begins by introducing fundamental concepts of solar time and then examines specific calendars, starting with the Egyptian system and its influence. It progresses to explore the Mayan calendar and other significant solar calendars from ancient China and indigenous cultures worldwide. Solar Time emphasizes the cross-cultural similarities and differences, providing a global perspective on humanity's shared impulse to understand and measure time.

    Foster Parent Collaboration: A Guide for Social Workers and Other Professionals argues that the foster care system is in crisis and one strategy for meaningful change is for social workers and other professionals to collaborate with foster parents. The collaboration will assist with increasing foster parent retention and the quality of care they can provide to children in their homes. The book provides practical suggestions supported by current research for how this can be done. The book provides information about the foster care system, children in foster care, and foster parents' vital roles. It couples the first-hand experience of a foster parent and social worker with current research. This combined lens provides a critical examination of the current realities of foster parents and social workers in foster care.

    Arawak Empire - The Seafarers...

    The Arawak people trace their origins to the vast and resource-rich region of the Orinoco River basin in present-day Venezuela. As part of the larger Arawakan language family, they were one of the many groups that gradually expanded across South America and into the Caribbean. Their migration was driven by a combination of environmental factors, population growth, and the search for fertile land and abundant resources. Over generations, they navigated rivers, coastlines, and open waters, eventually settling in the islands of the Greater and Lesser Antilles, where they established thriving communities. 
    Archaeological evidence suggests that the Arawak migration into the Caribbean began around 2000 BCE, with the earliest settlements appearing in the Guianas and Trinidad before spreading to islands such as Hispaniola, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. The seafaring skills of the Arawak were instrumental in their expansion, allowing them to cross large distances using well-crafted dugout canoes. These vessels, some of which could carry dozens of people, enabled them to transport goods, establish trade networks, and maintain cultural connections between islands. 
    The Arawak developed a rich cultural identity deeply connected to their environment. They were skilled agriculturalists, cultivating staple crops such as cassava, maize, sweet potatoes, and fruits like guava and pineapple. Their farming methods, including slash-and-burn techniques and mound cultivation, allowed them to sustain large populations and support the growth of permanent villages. In addition to agriculture, they engaged in fishing and hunting, making use of the diverse ecosystems found throughout the Caribbean.

    She is but a Woman, the first in-depth study of medieval Scottish queens, investigates the relationship between gender and power in the medieval Scottish court by exploring the art of queenship as practised by Joan Beaufort and Mary of Guelders, queens of James I and James II. These women were excluded from authority but clearly possessed power as wives and mothers of kings. They established and cultivated relationships with members of the court, learned about Scottish political life and supported their husbands in the business of government. The book examines for the first time the arrivals of Joan and Mary in Scotland, their social and political status, their relationships with their husbands and families, and their roles in international diplomacy.
    This modern re-evaluation of the role and power of the medieval queen is a thematic exploration rather than a biographical study. It situates the experiences of Joan and Mary within a broader European context and provides a new perspective on Scotland's political, social and cultural links with Europe in the fifteenth century.
