Sinopsis

Time Concepts explores humanity's enduring quest to measure and understand time, examining how clocks and calendars have shaped societies and cultures. From ancient sundials to modern atomic clocks, the book traces the evolution of timekeeping devices, revealing their impact on everything from agriculture to astronomy. Calendars, like the Gregorian and Julian, reflect diverse cultural and astronomical understandings, each system designed to organize human activity within the rhythms of the natural world. The book uniquely integrates historical, cultural, and scientific perspectives, presenting a holistic view of time rather than solely focusing on technical details. Time Concepts delves into the scientific underpinnings of time, touching on concepts like relativity and the "arrow of time," demonstrating how physics informs our understanding. By examining archaeological findings, historical documents, and astronomical records, the book reveals how our measurement of time is intertwined with cultural, scientific, and societal evolution. Structured to provide a comprehensive exploration, the book begins with foundational concepts, progresses through the development of timekeeping technologies, analyzes various calendar systems, and culminates with a discussion of time within the framework of physics. Readers will gain a deeper appreciation for how time measurement, time zones, and the very concept of time have profoundly influenced human civilization.

  • The Kraken - Myth or Reality? Investigating the Legend of the Sea Monster - cover

    The Kraken - Myth or Reality?...

    The Kraken, a legendary sea monster whose name evokes images of terror and fascination, has captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. First emerging from the shadows of Scandinavian folklore, this giant creature—often described as a massive octopus or squid—has become one of the most iconic symbols of the unknown depths of the ocean. The allure of the Kraken lies in its mysterious nature, its ability to stir both fear and wonder, and the enduring question: is it merely a myth, or could there be some truth behind the legend? 
      
    For sailors of old, the Kraken represented the dangers of the sea, a vast and untamable force filled with peril. Tales of ships being pulled under the water, disappearing without a trace, were often attributed to the Kraken’s monstrous tentacles dragging them to their doom. These stories, passed down through generations, grew in magnitude and detail, transforming the Kraken into a creature of unimaginable size and strength. The Kraken’s enormous presence on the open sea symbolized the boundary between the known world and the vast, dark waters that were beyond human control. 
      
    Yet, despite its fearsome reputation, the Kraken has also been embraced as a symbol of mystery and curiosity. Its mythical status has made it an enduring figure in literature, art, and popular culture, where it is often portrayed as both a terrifying threat and an awe-inspiring force of nature. From the pages of Jules Verne’s *Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea* to blockbuster films like *Pirates of the Caribbean*, the Kraken continues to embody humanity’s fascination with the sea and the creatures that may lie beneath its surface.

    Imagine what could happen if a religious zealot possessing wealth, power, and bio-technical genius, came into possession of a thorn from the Crown of Thorns placed upon Jesus’ head at the time of His Crucifixion. Richard Francis Craig had such a thorn and recovered Jesus’s DNA from its fossilized remains. He then joined forces with two progressive members of the Church, Cardinal Giovanni and Bishop Bellarmine, and a biotech wunderkind, Kristjan Evans. They have the technology to read His genetic code, a gift from God given through the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Dare they go further? Do they have the courage to use His genetic information to recreate the essence of Jesus, His clone, resurrecting Him to usher in the Second Coming and End of Times, the Final Judgement?Richard Craig made his fortune using his technological genius to found the biopharmaceutical company GenFlux. He was brought up in a strict Christian family by a stern father, a minister in the Redemption Church, and an architect of the God Box. While in the God Box Richard had his vision of Revelation and the Second Coming. The world is in chaos approaching the years of Tribulation and Richard believed God’s desire was for Man to save himself. Did not Mankind discover medical breakthroughs that prevented misery and death? Did Richard not develop medical breakthroughs that cured illness and alleviated suffering? Did Man not harness the power of the atom and the power of DNA, the life force? Richard often felt he was chosen to be a Prophet of the Lord. He knew Mankind possessed the power to control the life force itself, DNA, and thus the life essence of any organism whose DNA sequence Man could acquire. Assisted by Cardinal Giovanni, Bishop Bellarmine, and fellow technological genius Kristjan Evans, Richard Craig formulated his plan to clone Jesus and hasten the Second Coming of Christ, the Final Judgment, and the End of Times.

    Fool - In Search of Henry VIII's...

    In some portraits of Henry VIII there appears another figure—a gaunt and morose-looking man with a shaved head. This is William or "Will" Somer, the king's fool, a celebrated wit who reportedly could raise Henry's spirits and spent many hours with him. Was Somer an "artificial fool," a cunning comic who could speak freely in front of the king, or a "natural fool," someone with intellectual disabilities, like many other members of the profession? Fool is the first biography of Somer—and perhaps the first of a Renaissance fool. 
     
     
     
    After his death, Somer disappeared, and historians struggled to separate myth from reality. Unearthing as many facts as possible, Peter K. Andersson pieces together the fullest picture yet of an enigmatic and unusual man with a strange job. Somer's story provides new insights into how fools lived and what they did for a living, how monarchs and courtiers related to commoners and people with disabilities, and whether aspects of the Renaissance fool live on in the modern comedian. But most of all, we learn how a commoner without property or education managed to become the court's chief mascot and a continuous presence at the center of Tudor power. 
     
     
     
    Fool reveals a little-known world, surprising and disturbing, when comedy was something crueler and more unpleasant than we like to think.

    “… a tantalizing window into Mustin’s experiences during the early years of the conflict, with vivid details captured by Mustin’s war diary and his personal recollections of the Battle of Guadalcanal from a naval perspective.” — American Rifleman
    
    1942 would prove crucial for the United States in the Pacific following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and a series of setbacks in the Southwest. As the first ship commissioned following America’s entry into World War II, the light cruiser USS Atlanta would be thrust into the Pacific fight, joining the fleet in time for the pivotal battle of Midway and on to the Guadalcanal campaign in the Southwest Pacific. Embarked was an exceptionally astute observer, Lieutenant Commander Lloyd M. Mustin, who faithfully recorded his thoughts on the conflict in a standard canvas-covered logbook.
    
    Diaries were not supposed to be kept by those serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and for good reason. If recovered by the Japanese, they would likely have revealed that the Japanese code had been broken prior to the battle of Midway. Thus, Mustin’s diary is a rare day-to-day accounting of the Pacific from a very opinionated mid-grade officer. Beginning with the commissioning of Atlanta at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Christmas Eve 1941, Mustin covers the ship’s workups and her deployment to the Pacific in time for the battle of Midway.
    
    It’s then on to the Southwest Pacific, where the ship first engages enemy aircraft at the battle of the Eastern Solomons in late August 1942. Mustin’s final entry covers the battle of Santa Cruz in late October 1942. The story is completed by an account of the battle of Guadalcanal and beyond, drawing upon Mustin’s oral history. This is a valuable document, fully interpreted to provide a better understanding of the Pacific War during that critical year.
