Synopsis

Runic Calendars explores the fascinating timekeeping methods of Norse and Viking societies, revealing sophisticated systems far beyond simple record-keeping. These calendars were integral to their social, economic, and religious lives, demonstrating advanced astronomical observation, mathematical understanding, and symbolic representation. One intriguing aspect is how these societies tracked the movements of the sun and moon to identify solstices and equinoxes, crucial for predicting weather and planning agricultural activities. Furthermore, the calendars' connection to Norse mythology highlights how specific days were associated with particular gods and stories, deeply weaving timekeeping into their cultural fabric.

 
The book begins by establishing the historical and social context of Norse and Viking societies, then proceeds across three major sections. First it will explore the different types of runic calendars, then it will dissect the astronomical knowledge embedded within, and finally it will investigate the cultural significance. By examining archaeological finds, medieval Norse literature, and linguistic data, Runic Calendars offers a nuanced understanding of these ancient timekeeping devices. This targeted approach provides an in-depth analysis valuable to anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the history of science.

    The famous physicist Sir Isaac Newton lectured on optics from 1670 - 1672. He worked on refraction of light into colored beams using prisms and discovered chromatic aberration. He also postulated the corpuscular form of light and an ether to transmit forces between the corpuscles. His "Opticks", first published 1704 contains his postulates about the topic. This is the fourth edition in English, from 1730, which Newton himself had corrected from the third edition before his death. (Summary by Availle)
