Sinopsis

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.

    The Mexican Revolution was a great revolution that included a series of army local battles instead of a single united struggle. It destroyed the Federal Force and changed it with an innovative army, changing Mexican civilization and governance at the same time It also culminated in the adoption of a new constitution that included the revolutionaries' ideal visions. 
    In spite of the fact that President Porfirio Daz's (from about 1880 to 1911) rule had grown progressively out of favor over the prior 31 years, there was no indicator that a transformation would break out in the year 1910. 
    Daz was not able to establish a regulated resolution to governmental succession, which led to a power struggle between opposing elites, and between elites and the middle classes, which sometimes included the "masses." 
    There were agrarian uprisings, most significantly in Morelos under Emiliano Zapata. 
    In this book, we will learn more about those.

    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. 
     
     
     
    Derived from both practice knowledge and empirical evidence, the book provides guidance to social workers and other professionals about how to effectively work with foster parents. The goal is to promote change in the foster care system and improve the outcomes for children and families. It serves as a tool to help social workers and other professionals currently working in the foster care system improve their skills and better collaborate with foster parents. Foster Parent Collaboration contains numerous practice examples drawn from actual cases that offer insights into what social workers and foster parents navigate and how social workers best can work with foster parents. Each chapter includes a real-life challenge from a foster parent's perspective.

    Together is better, but only if you turn up and lean in. 
    High performing teams are teams in synergy - where the whole is greater than the sum 
    of its parts. 
    This is especially important for directors and leadership teams who face unprecedented 
    market dynamics. Their individual and organisational success depends on their capacity 
    to form bonds of trust that allow them to show up, have courage, welcome open dissent, 
    and explore new solutions to adaptive challenges. 
    In this book, high performance leadership coach Stephanie Bown explores team synergy 
    as the intersection between independent thinking and collective capacity with the goal 
    of amplifying the potential for great people to come together to achieve amazing things.

    Benedict Spinoza's 'A Theologico-Political Treatise' challenges prevailing religious and political dogmas of his time. With bold reasoning, Spinoza advocates for intellectual freedom, questioning the role of theology in governance. This seminal work lays the groundwork for secularism, advocating for a state where reason prevails over religious authority. A visionary treatise, it remains a cornerstone in discussions on freedom, politics, and the separation of church and state. Read in English, unabridged.

    She is But a Woman - Queenship...

    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.
