Beschreibung

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.

In the Shadow of Our Ancestors

Wayne Arthurson

Searching through the annals of North American history uncovers the diverse and astounding contributions by the Natives of the Americas who formed the world we know today.
		 
In the Shadow of Our Ancestors explores the rich history of the indigenous peoples of North America and leaves us in awe of their stunning achievements and inventions:
		 
The Great Law of Peace — The ideals, words and symbols of the Iroquois Confederacy inspired the governments of the New World to form democracies that recognized, in their constitutions, the rights of all people.
		 
Potatoes — The lowly potato, a staple food of Natives for almost 15,000 years, was unknown outside the Americas until Europeans arrived; now, with almost 4000 varieties, it is the fourth most-consumed agricultural product in the world.
		 
Sacagawea — The settlement of western North America was inspired and influenced by the results of the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800s, with the journey’s success made possible because of a Native woman named Sacagawea, whose presence paved the way for the explorers to be seen as a peaceful party.

The Age of Insecurity - Coming...

Astra Taylor

Finalist, 2024 Writers' Trust Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing 
 
 
 
These days, everyone feels insecure. We are financially stressed and emotionally overwhelmed. The status quo isn't working for anyone, even those who appear to have it all. What is going on? 
 
 
 
In this urgent cultural diagnosis, author and activist Astra Taylor exposes how seemingly disparate crises—rising inequality and declining mental health, the ecological emergency, and the threat of authoritarianism—originate from a social order built on insecurity. From home ownership and education to the wellness industry and policing, many of the institutions and systems that promise to make us more secure actually undermine us. 
 
 
 
Mixing social critique, memoir, history, political analysis, and philosophy, this genre-bending book rethinks both insecurity and security from the ground up. By facing our existential insecurity and embracing our vulnerability, Taylor argues, we can begin to develop more caring, inclusive, and sustainable forms of security to help us better weather the challenges ahead. The Age of Insecurity will transform how you understand yourself and society—while illuminating a path toward meaningful change.
