Beschreibung

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 ultimate interactive public speaking guide from tech speakers 
    Poornima Vijayashanker and Karen Catlin that prepares and encourages  
    techies to discover their expertise, confidently share it, and successfully level up in their careers. 
     
    Techies around the world can now jump start and grow their speaking careers with the book, Present! A Techie’s Guide to Public Speaking, written by tech leaders, Poornima Vijayashanker and Karen Catlin. The book serves as a resource for technology professionals who want or need to develop the skills to communicate their expertise effectively, whether in a meeting at work or delivering an engaging talk at a conference. 
     
    Poornima, who is the founder of Femgineer and the founding engineer of Mint.com, collaborated with former Adobe vice president and founder of Karen Catlin Consulting, Karen Catlin, to compile and share their lessons, tips, and techniques learned from their own experiences as professional tech speakers. 
     
    “Karen and I wanted to write this book so that our fellow techies would have a comprehensive resource to help them with their own public speaking endeavors. So many folks in the tech industry have amazing ideas and experience, but they often feel stuck on how to present them effectively. Also, our hope is that more women will be inspired by our stories and encouraged to get out there and share their own valuable expertise through public speaking in order to boost representation of women tech speakers,” Poornima said. 
     
    Present! covers public speaking from A to Z. Through stories, examples, and interactive exercises, Poornima and Karen dive into topics including, overcoming stage fright, exploring personal speaking style, creating the right talk for the right audience, polishing presence and delivery, and nailing any type of talk, whether it’s a lightning or long-form talk or being part of a panel. 
     
    Karen said, “Even though Poornima and I are professional speakers, we felt it was important to share our own feelings of nerves and uncertainty, and bumps we’ve had along the way - and sometimes continue to experience. It was important for us to communicate that no one is perfect and it really is okay when talks don’t always go according to plan. Our hope is that by being open, we’ll be able to give others the confidence and the techniques to handle situations when they arise, deliver an amazing presentation, and most importantly, have FUN”!

    Space is a place of unparalleled possibility for humanity, and it's undergoing a revolution. A wave of companies led by gutsy entrepreneurs are unlocking opportunities that fire the imagination. No, it's not hotels on Mars or day trips to orbit (yet), but it's an awe-inspiring transformation driven by innovative technologies, creative approaches, hard work, and—for the first time—market forces. Above all, this revolution is uncovering the simple but unfamiliar truth that space is a place: a place where countries, markets, and each of us can play a vital role in realizing some of our biggest, boldest dreams. 
     
     
     
    But we won't succeed through dreams alone. The space economy is just that—an economy—governed by the same laws of supply and demand that apply here on Earth. The authors, who teach a highly popular course on the topic at Harvard Business School, bring the revolution in space to life through players you know—like SpaceX and Blue Origin—and many you may not, like Astroscale, founded by a Japanese IT executive who quit his job to start a company to clean up space debris. They also bring to bear fundamental tools from economics to understand how the market in space is forming, how it's fast becoming a source of value for businesses across industries and for society as a whole, and how we can best ensure that its growth benefits us all.
