Beschreibung

Sacred Trees explores the profound, enduring connection between humanity and trees, delving into their diverse roles in religious and cultural practices worldwide. It examines how trees—often symbols of life, wisdom, and divinity—have shaped rituals, mythologies, and belief systems. For example, the book illustrates how specific trees, such as the Bodhi tree in Buddhism and the oak trees revered by the Druids, have become intertwined with religious narratives. This exploration highlights recurring themes of creation, knowledge, and our fundamental relationship with nature.

 
The book uniquely integrates perspectives from botany, religious studies, anthropology, and environmental history to provide a comprehensive understanding of the cultural significance of trees. Beginning with an introduction to the concept of sacred trees, the central chapters showcase their diversity across geographical regions, using case studies from creation myths to healing rituals. The concluding section synthesizes these examples, identifying common threads and exploring the implications of this enduring reverence for modern environmental ethics and conservation efforts, enriching our understanding of belief systems and cultural history.

    Ancient Mesopotamian Astronomy...

    In ancient Mesopotamia, the Sumerians also provided the civilizational template for the earliest forms of astronomy. As the Sumerians gazed at the sky and began mapping the cosmos, they successfully tracked retrograde motion and predicted lunar and solar eclipses, bringing forth thousands of years of discoveries made by enterprising astronomers.  
    For the Mesopotamians, astronomy and astrology intertwined. Today, astronomy is understood as the scientific study of the universe, focusing on the physical properties of different bodies, from how they move to how they came into being. Conversely, astrology is a non-scientific belief system that interprets the stars and planets to predict human behavior, personality, or future events. However, in Mesopotamia, the astronomy determined the course of religion and the choices made by rulers, providing a certain mix between the mundane and the surreal. From their births to their deaths, the ancient Mesopotamians believed that deities surrounded them, and whether their social interactions were on the level of a smaller city or that of a larger nation-state, the deities played key roles in the social fabric of their society. Astronomy and astrology were thus wielded in order to divine supernatural intentions, and thereby plot proper courses in everyday life.

    DesignedUp is a practical, inspiring guide for modern designers working at the intersection of technology, consultancy, and agency life. It’s written for practitioners who choose to plot their own path across complex organisations, balancing competing priorities while striving to make meaningful impact. 
     
    Praised by John Maeda, VP of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft, as a refreshing antidote to career stagnation, and by Jeff Gotthelf, author of Lean UX and Sense & Respond, as a roadmap to redesigning how organisations work, DesignedUp tackles a challenge many designers know well: being undervalued, misunderstood or sidelined in tech-led environments. 
     
    When design is treated as a “nice extra” rather than a strategic driver, influence is lost. DesignedUp shows you how to change that. 
     
    Drawing on frameworks, methods, and real-world stories from global technology and design leaders, including Rebecca Parsons at Thoughtworks, Andreas Markdalen at frog, Lauren Pleydell-Pearce at PwC UK, and Andy Polaine, formerly of Fjord, this book shows you how to: 
     
    Harness your strengths 
    Speak the language of business and technology 
    Influence engineers, stakeholders, and executives 
    Make compelling design arguments that resonate 
    Turn leaders into design champions 
     
    DesignedUp helps you move from the margins to the centre, so design doesn’t just get a seat at the table, it reshapes it!

    The Darién Gap—a lawless strip of jungle between Panama and Colombia—has swallowed countless travelers. Few who enter ever make it out. 
    When a small charter plane crashes in the heart of this untamed wilderness, four survivors are left with no rescue, no supplies beyond what they can carry, and no choice but to trek through one of the most dangerous places on earth. 
    Lena, a battle-hardened pilot, and her son Noah, an ambitious young co-pilot, were supposed to be running a routine flight. Alex, their wealthy passenger, claimed he was on a medical research expedition—but his obsession with a rare jungle orchid hints at another agenda. And Amaia, a quiet woman with a past she doesn’t share, seems to know far more about the land—and the people who control it—than she’s willing to admit. 
    The jungle closes in fast. Days bring unbearable heat, venomous snakes, and rivers teeming with predators. Nights echo with the sound of something stalking them just beyond the firelight. Tensions splinter the group as distrust grows and survival becomes a brutal negotiation. 
    Every step forward is a gamble. Every decision could be the one that gets them killed. And in the Darién, the most dangerous thing they’ll face might not be the jungle at all. 
    Into The Darién is a gripping survival thriller of greed, loyalty, and endurance, where the secrets people keep are as deadly as the terrain.
