Synopsis

Hindu Time explores the rich tradition of the Hindu calendar, a system deeply intertwined with religious life, cultural practices, and ancient Indian thought. This book unveils how timekeeping in Hinduism extends beyond mere measurement, serving as a holistic framework that integrates astronomy, astrology (Jyotisha), mythology, and religious observances. One intriguing aspect discussed is the concept of vast cycles of creation and destruction (kalpas), reflecting a unique perspective on time's eternal nature. Also highlighted is the calendar's critical role in determining the timing of Hindu festivals and rituals, thus shaping communal worship and individual spiritual practices.

 
The book progresses from introducing the fundamental units of time, the concept of yugas, and the astronomical basis of the calendar, to examining the influence of planetary positions and the calendar's application in determining the dates of major Hindu festivals. What sets Hindu Time apart is its comprehensive approach, blending historical, astronomical, astrological, and religious perspectives to offer an accessible understanding of this complex system. By contextualizing the calendar’s origins within Vedic cosmology and ancient Indian thought, the book reveals its multifaceted significance, making it valuable for students of religion, history, South Asian studies, and anyone interested in Hindu culture.

    Most scholars consider Melanchthon to be a Reformation enigma. He, the developer of the Reformation doctrine of forensic justification, is contrarily condemned as a synergist. Known well as the Protestant preceptor of Germany, he was Martin Luther's lifelong friend, colleague, teacher of Greek, and fellow reformer. Upon arriving at Wittenberg, Melanchthon was a theologian neither by trade nor by training. He was a classically trained expert in classical languages, neo-Latin poet, textbook author, Greek scholar, humanist, and above all, an educator
    Though he was offered a doctorate on several occasions, he was not a doctor of theology. Yet his influence on the protestant reformation of the 16th century is profound, both through the Loci Communes (the first Lutheran systematic theology) and the Augsburg Confession both of which came from his pen.
    Dr. Scott Keith, who has spent much time studying and translating this great reformer, has written this short biography by way of introduction. Also, Melanchthon speaks for himself in fresh translations of his work.

    Just a few decades ago, as recently as the Clinton years, we had a vibrant nation that inspired the rest of the world.  But then a new religion called Secular Humanism took hold.  It saw wrongs that needed to be righted, but went overboard as its revolutionary zeal carried it to excesses that plague our nation today. Clawback proposes a roadmap to get back to the nation we once had when common sense superseded idealistic and impractical zeal.  The book presents over two hundred ideas to return us to a time when the pillars of family, friendships, and faith supported a healthy, happy, and powerful nation.

    An expert's guide to humanizing psychosis through communication offers key insights for family and friends to support loved ones during mental health crises. 
     
     
     
    Are we all a little crazy? Roughly fifteen percent of the population will have a psychotic experience, in which they lose contact with reality. Yet we often struggle to understand and talk about psychosis. Interactions between people build on the stories they tell each other—stories about the past, about who they are or what they want. In psychosis we can no longer rely on these stories, this shared language. So how should we communicate with someone experiencing reality in a radically different way than we are? 
     
     
     
    Drawing on his work in psychoanalysis, Stijn Vanheule seeks to answer this question, which carries significant implications for mental health as a whole. With a combination of theory from Freud to Lacan, present-day research, and compelling examples from his own patients and well-known figures such as director David Lynch and artist Yayoi Kusama, he explores psychosis in an engaging way that can benefit those suffering from it as well as the people who care for and interact with them.
