  Carl Sandburg is beloved by generations of children for his Rootabaga Stories and Rootabaga Pigeons (which is not in the public domain), a series of whimsical, sometimes melancholy stories he originally created for his own daughters. The Rootabaga Stories were born of Sandburg's desire for "American fairy tales" to match American childhood. He felt that the European stories involving royalty and knights were inappropriate, and so populated his stories with animals, skyscrapers, trains, corn fairies, and other colorful characters.

  2040 - Is This the End We Want?

  Howard Atkins

  2040 is a dystopian warning and deliberate prequel to the companion novel 2084. Where 2084 explores a future shaped by thoughtful integration between humanity and artificial intelligence, 2040 reveals what happens when power, fear, and unchecked systems determine the path forward instead. This is the future we do not want. 
  The story traces the years leading to 2040, as democratic institutions erode, surveillance becomes normalized, and technology shifts from innovation to enforcement. Authority tightens. Extremism spreads. Economies fracture. Citizens comply not through force, but through convenience, loyalty, and fear. Freedom survives as language, but disappears in practice. 
  Artificial intelligence is not the villain here. Like in 2084, it is a tool. The danger lies in who controls it and why. Systems designed to protect become mechanisms that monitor, restrict, and punish. Resistance is reframed as risk. 
  This book is intentionally unsettling because it is plausible. Its events echo debates already unfolding worldwide. This is the dark trajectory. Read it first. 
  The possible alternate ending appears in the hopeful companion book: 2084. What if there’s another path? Discover it in 2084, where humanity chooses ethics, restraint, and shared responsibility over domination, obedience, and control of its own future at last now.

  Mesoamerican Astronomy: The...

  For the Maya, astronomy was not a purely scientific pursuit but intimately linked to religious, mythological, and ideological elements that were of the highest importance. The celestial realm held a sacred nature, as did the many gods and goddesses that dwelt there, so for all Mesoamerican cultures, astronomy was a fundamental part of their everyday lives. Thus, astronomy was present in their calendars, religion, and even agriculture, and in close relation to astronomy, the concept of time was also an essential part of their worldview.  
  The Aztec recorded many of the astronomical events they observed in codices and hieroglyphic inscriptions, but the main evidence of their deep astronomical knowledge comes from their calendar system. This information was then used to plan the orientation of buildings and ceremonial centers, which were aligned to sunrises or sunsets corresponding to special dates, such as solstices or equinoxes. Observational calendars were also used to schedule agricultural activities, as well as rituals, festivals, and celebrations. 
  Though the Spanish physically conquered them in quick fashion, the culture and legacy of the Inca Empire has continued to endure throughout the centuries in both Europe and South America, due in no small part to the fact they were one of the most advanced and sophisticated cultures on the continent. The sun was the main element present in the Inca worldview, so Inti, the sun god, was worshipped above all others and, even though the different parts of the empire were allowed to practice their individual beliefs, they were encouraged to venerate the sun. The connection with the sun even extended to their kings since they were considered to be the sons of the sun. Naturally, this meant astronomy was a key component of the Incas’ beliefs, and in addition to the sun, the Inca observed the moon, stars, constellations, and some planets, all of which became integral parts of their cosmology.
