Sinopse

Sumerian Calendar explores the origins of timekeeping with the first recorded calendar system developed in Mesopotamia. This world history book reveals how profoundly the Sumerian calendar, with its lunar cycles and adjustments for the solar year, influenced agriculture, religious festivals, and administration within Sumerian society. Intriguingly, this early system laid the groundwork for calendars still in use today, highlighting the Sumerians' deep understanding of astronomy. The book examines the calendar's structure, its societal integration, and its lasting legacy, drawing on cuneiform texts and archaeological findings. Furthermore, it traces the calendar's influence on later civilizations like the Babylonians and Assyrians, and its connections to Hebrew and Greek calendars. This approach combines detailed calendar analysis with its social and cultural significance.

 
Organized to guide readers, the book first introduces the basics, then explores its use in Sumerian life, and finally, traces its influence on subsequent cultures.

    State of the Union 1982

    In the 1982 State of the Union address on January 26, 1982, Reagan invokes his self-deprecating humor and calls for “a new spirit of partnership between this Congress and this administration”. Reagan cites the “stagflation” of the 1970s: double digit inflation, interest rates over 21%, and over 8 million unemployed.  
    Reagan notes economic improvement and calls for reduced federal spending, further tax reductions, and fewer regulations, saying our economic problems “are the inheritance of decades of tax and tax and spend and spend.”  
    Reagan calls for dismantling the Departments of Energy and Education but keeping a reliable safety net for those in need by rooting out waste and fraud in the food stamp, Medicare, and Medicaid programs. Reagan decries the growth in federal grant programs to state and local governments and calls for major reforms. 
    A short paragraph was lost at 23:15 of the Ronald Reagan presidential library recording. The missing words can be seen in the text version. 
    In meetings with foreign leaders, Reagan “spoke of the strength of the free marketplace system and how that system could help them realize their aspirations for economic development and political freedom.” Reagan endorses sanctions against the Soviet Union for its actions in Poland and Afghanistan, and urges “that we rebuild our defenses.”  
    Reagan concludes with a call to work together to preserve “the sacred flame of liberty -- this last, best hope of man on Earth.” This address followed the assassination attempt and the applause at the start and end was extensive.

    Break Through the Limits of the Brain connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience, and offers proven ways to tap into our superconscious potential. 
     
     
     
    Joseph Selbie explores the current neuroscientific understanding of the brain's dismaying degree of life-controlling influence on our thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and balances that understanding with neuroscience's discoveries of neuroplasticity and our innate ability to rewire the brain for any new purpose. 
     
     
     
    Break Through the Limits of the Brain delves into the scientific support for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality that strongly suggests that we exist simultaneously in both a subtle and a physical reality—and that our thoughts, life force, emotions, and memories originate nonlocally. 
     
     
     
    Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for superconscious awareness. 
     
     
     
    The book offers proven practices for bringing superconscious awareness into one's life for success, energy, health, peace of mind, and happiness.

    Malört may be the worst thing you'll ever taste. 
     
     
     
    Known primarily for its intense bitterness, the infamous Chicago liqueur has been compared to "a forest fire, if the forest was made of earwax." Yet lurking in the horror and the mockery lies the truth of Malört: we keep going back for more. For nearly a hundred years, we've gone back. 
     
     
     
    Jeppson's Malört could have died a hundred deaths in that time. Its survival wasn't always a given. There were cultural shifts and fortunate timing that helped transform a drink rooted in centuries-old Swedish tradition into the American sensation it is today. 
     
     
     
    Malört is a story of love, relationships, and how one generation finds meaning where generations before did not. 
     
     
     
    Author and beer expert Josh Noel unpacks a uniquely American tale, equal parts culture, business, and personal relationships—involving secret love, federal prison, a David vs. Goliath court battle, and the 2018 sale of Jeppson's Malört, which made Pat Gabelick, a seventy-five-year-old Chicago woman who spent much of her life as a legal secretary, into an unlikely millionaire. 
     
     
     
    Malört isn't just the story of one brazen liquor—it is the story of modern tastes and cultural shifts.

    Monsters of the Upside Down, beware! Travis Langley (author of the acclaimed Batman and Psychology) returns with a group of expert contributors to explore these and other questions to shine a light on true human nature through the Netflix series and cultural phenomenon Stranger Things. When do feelings of grief, guilt, depression, fear, and isolation tear us down, and how do we transform them into hope, inspiration, forgiveness, acceptance, and motivation to do what's right? Growing up is hard enough without metaphors for the dangers that lurk in life's shadows springing to life in the form of monsters, villains, conspiracies, and enemy soldiers. Stranger Things Psychology: Life Upside Down descends into the dark side of adolescence to find the light on the other side of the ultimate coming-of-age story.

    Science, not speculative philosophy, is the only guide, however imperfect, to the nature of existence. Science culture uses and supports science. The social brain experiences free will and needs religious faith. Empathy is a choice based on intuition. We need a better scientific understanding of dogma and chauvinism, and this book explores these issues. It also describes the Crisis of the Anthropocene, described in under a hundred pages, is a wakeup that needs to overcome ignorance and naïve optimism, and reach our deepest emotions. Topics include climate change, biodiversity, pollutants, population, and political causes behind the collapse. This book also presents data from Internationalcomparisons.org that demonstrates that the US is neither advanced nor a democracy and has failed to deal with guns, reproductive rights, taxation, social welfare, fiscal discipline, and other issues. Even with these already significant problems Americans must face, there is even more: Trumpism and Putinism are existential threats to American freedom and democracy. This book presents a framework for others to act in the time of these issues.
