Summary

Greek Calendars explores the intricate timekeeping systems of ancient Greece, revealing how these calendars were deeply intertwined with regionalism, religion, and astronomy. Far from being uniform, Greek timekeeping varied significantly between city-states like Athens, Sparta, and Corinth. These variations reflected the decentralized nature of Greek culture, where local identity was paramount. Religious festivals played a crucial role, shaping the rhythm of life and influencing economic activities.

 
The book examines how religious festivals were integrated into these calendars, varying significantly from region to region, and the Greeks' attempts to align calendars with solar and lunar cycles. Discover how inscriptions, literary texts, and archaeological findings contribute to our understanding. The book progresses by first introducing the main calendars, then exploring the development of religious festivals, next examining the astronomical knowledge, and finally synthesizing these elements.

 
By integrating historical, archaeological, and literary evidence, Greek Calendars offers a nuanced account that is both academic and accessible.

    Geometry - A Very Short...

    The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof—deductive reasoning from a set of axioms—first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research in mathematics. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Starting from the basics, Maciej Dunajski proceeds from concrete examples (of mathematical objects like Platonic solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem) to general principles. Throughout, he outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of science and art.
