Sinossi

Calendar Wars reveals that calendars, seemingly fixed, have been battlegrounds shaped by religion, politics, and the desire for order. The book explores how calendar reform ignited conflicts, highlighting the religious underpinnings of calendar systems, the impact of science on timekeeping, and the pursuit of a unified calendar. Calendars are not just tools; they reflect belief systems and power assertions, influencing social and economic activities.

 
For instance, the adoption of the Gregorian calendar faced resistance from various religious factions, illustrating deep-seated cultural and religious attachments to existing timekeeping methods. The book argues that calendar reform is a negotiation of power, tradition, and worldviews, impacting society and shaping the modern world. It begins by establishing calendars' foundational role in ancient civilizations, then examines their evolution through religious conflict, scientific advancements, and attempts at universal standardization.

 
Calendar Wars progresses to explore contemporary issues like daylight saving time and alternative calendar proposals, offering a fresh perspective on understanding broader historical trends through the lens of calendar reform.

    In School Communities of Strength, Peter W. Cookson, Jr., lays out a blueprint for providing equitable educational opportunities for students from all socioeconomic strata, and particularly for the five million American children who live with the extreme material hardship known as deep poverty. This work issues an urgent call to action for K–12 schools to put in place the policies, practices, and programs that enable economically vulnerable students to thrive. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from up-to-date findings in the science of learning and development as well as analyses of schools that serve students in poverty, Cookson pinpoints success strategies that can help schools improve their poverty responsiveness. He shows how these strategies can help educators create the culturally responsive, inclusive environments that provide a base of safety from which students can better engage with their education. 
     
     
     
    Offering astute analysis, Cookson notes that school communities of strength require adequate funding and also meaningful collaboration among families, neighborhood partners, and educators. This book amplifies the idea that communities working together can drive transformative change, and it brings into focus three primary policy initiatives that can advance educational equity.

    Classical Christian ideas loom large in philosophy of religion today. But arguments against Christian doctrine have been neglected. J. L. Schellenberg's new book remedies this neglect. 
     
     
     
    The tide of human development, which the early Christians might have expected to corroborate their teaching, has in fact brought many results that run contrary to that teaching. Or at least it will be seen to have done so, says Schellenberg, when we think about the consequences of any God existent then being fully cognizant, when Christian doctrine was first formed, of all that we have laboriously learned since then. Newly discovered facts, not just about such things as evolution and the formation of the New Testament but also about mental illness, violent punishment, the relations between women and men, and the status of same-sex intimacy, suggest new arguments against the content of the Christian revelation when the prior understanding of the purported revealer is taken into account. 
     
     
     
    What God Would Have Known offers a thorough and incisive treatment of its subject that remains respectful and fair-minded throughout. It is not concerned with the overworked question of whether classical Christians believe irrationally, but with what overlooked arguments about human development show in relation to the truth or falsity of Christian claims about reality.

    Since the temple embodies all of divine life on a macrocosmic scale, it reflects the sublime qualities of divine regions in the physical world. The soaring columns of the temple’s hypostyle Hall, which leads celebrants into the environment of the Neteru, embody the sacred marshes of time. 
    Auxiliary chambers and the Hall of Records in the temple reflect the majestic halls of the Duat. The divine genealogy of royal persons and thus humanity was recorded here. Additionally, the sacred mound on which the ancients rested at the dawn of time is in the temple’s sanctuary. In this sanctuary lies the naos where the Neter rests.

    Operation Varsity: The Final Airborne Assault of World War II
     
    One river. One daring drop. One last chance to crush Nazi Germany.
    
    In the spring of 1945, as Allied forces closed in on Hitler's collapsing empire, one final major barrier remained: the Rhine River. Beyond it lay the industrial core of Germany and the fading but fierce hope of Nazi resistance.
    
    To break through, Allied commanders launched Operation Varsity, the largest single-day airborne assault of World War II.
    Thousands of paratroopers and glider-borne soldiers from the British 6th Airborne and American 17th Airborne divisions flew across the Rhine and into one of the most dangerous, high-stakes missions of the entire conflict.
    
    What made this operation different?  Everything. 
    
     Inside this book, you'll discover: 
    
    -  The political and military pressures that made Operation Varsity unavoidable. 
    -  Why the Rhine was far more than a river and why it was Germany's final wall. 
    -  How thousands of troops and tons of equipment were coordinated and dropped with remarkable precision. 
    -  What failed in earlier airborne operations, and how Varsity transformed those lessons into success. 
    -  How Varsity's victory opened the path to the Ruhr and ultimately Berlin. 
    -  Why this often overlooked battle deserves recognition among the war's decisive turning points. 
    -  And much more! 
     
    Packed with gripping detail, strategic insight, and human drama,  Operation Varsity illuminates a bold yet frequently forgotten chapter of World War II.
    If you love real-life military history, this is the battle you need to know.
