  Astronomy was an avid hobby for the ancient Maya, who recorded and interpreted every aspect of the sky. As a result, many of their most important buildings were built with astronomy in mind, because they believed it was possible to read the will and actions of the gods in the stars, moon, and planets. The Maya studied the sun, moon, and planets, especially Venus. 
  At Xultun, Guatemala, Maya daykeepers published astronomical tables tracking the movements of celestial bodies in the early 9th century during the heyday of Maya astronomy. The tables are also found in the Dresden Codex, a bark-paper book written in the 15th century. Specialist astronomical observers corrected and maintained Maya calendars, which were largely based on ancient Mesoamerican calendars created at least as early as 1500 BCE. The Maya even structured their government in part based on astronomy tracking requirements.

  The Holocaust - The Systematic...

  The devastating events of World War II, particularly the Holocaust, left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. This chapter sets the stage for understanding the roots of hatred that led to one of the most horrific genocides in human history, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of events during the war. The Holocaust was not just an isolated act of mass murder; it was the culmination of a complex set of political, social, and cultural factors that had been brewing for decades. To grasp the magnitude of the atrocities, we must first look at the deep-seated prejudices and ideologies that laid the groundwork for such violence. 
    
  The roots of hatred can be traced back to centuries of anti-Semitism in Europe. Jews, along with other minority groups, had long been scapegoated for various societal issues. This animosity intensified during times of political and economic upheaval, particularly in post-World War I Europe, where the Treaty of Versailles created a climate of resentment and instability. The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party capitalized on this frustration, offering a vision of a united and racially pure Germany. This vision, however, was built on a foundation of hate, exclusion, and dehumanization. 
    
  Nazi ideology emphasized the superiority of the "Aryan" race and portrayed Jews, Romani people, disabled individuals, and others as inferior and dangerous. Propaganda played a critical role in spreading these ideas, as the Nazi regime sought to indoctrinate the German public through media, education, and political rallies. Hitler's vision for Germany was one in which racial purity was paramount, and the systematic exclusion of those deemed undesirable was essential to achieving this goal.

  Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
  Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
  the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
  'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
  The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

  Never before had they known such hope. 
  In a world drenched in violence and oppression, here was a man armed with a message of peace and freedom. Into lives nearly overwhelmed by grief and sorrow, he brought compassion and healing and the deepest joy. To people who felt like outcasts and aliens, he showed the way home. And then, in one devastating night, all their hopes collapsed. 
  This is where our story begins—in the valley of despair. It is a tale of two friends, a stranger, and a search for truth in a world gone mad with doubt. 
  Historian Joseph Loconte unlocks the meaning of their exchange, set in the chaotic days following the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Drawing from literature, film, philosophy, history, and politics, Loconte shows how this biblical drama is an integral part of our own story. Sooner or later, we will find ourselves among the searchers.
