Synopsis

Seasonal Cycles explores how ancient societies, despite geographical distances, developed intricate calendar systems to track time and seasonal changes. It highlights the ingenuity of human cultures in adapting to the cyclical nature of our planet, examining calendars not merely as historical records, but as reflections of human interaction with the environment. These systems played a pivotal role in shaping agricultural practices, religious ceremonies, and societal structures. For example, calendars influenced irrigation management in ancient Egypt and dictated seasonal festivals among the Celts. 

 
The book adopts a comparative approach, blending Earth Sciences, Geography, and History to analyze calendar systems from diverse perspectives. It begins by establishing a foundational understanding of astronomical observations, then progresses through thematic chapters focusing on agricultural calendars, calendars and rituals, and calendars and environmental awareness.

 
By examining a variety of calendars from different regions, the book demonstrates how environmental factors, agricultural needs, and cultural beliefs shaped the development and evolution of timekeeping practices.

 
Ultimately, Seasonal Cycles argues that calendar systems are dynamic adaptations reflecting the complex interplay between societies and their environment. It emphasizes the legacy of these ancient systems and their relevance to contemporary challenges like climate change adaptation and sustainable practices, showcasing the importance of understanding ecological patterns for a more sustainable future.

Keepers of the Shield

Sandy Kelly

Why would anyone spend a large portion of their life in a world that doesn’t really exist, or with friends they have never met? Those are questions anyone considering online gaming should explore. It starts out innocently enough—with the excitement, unbelievable graphics, and unique storylines that suck you into a world which can rob you of time, self-esteem, health, and the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy.The sad truth is that there are millions upon millions of people just like you and me who fall down that rabbit hole. It’s a drug, an escape, a test of our fortitude—and it can replace reality to the point of a false existence. And yet, we do it over and over, and we love almost every minute.We, who are called humans, are easily sideswiped off the road of common sense into the dumpster of adventure. I, of all people, can point this out because I spent almost 22 years, and even now—after five years away—I am still going through withdrawals.This is what some call tough love.

"A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" by Andrew Dickson White is a seminal two-volume work that delves into the prolonged struggle between science and religious orthodoxy throughout Western history. White, co-founder and first president of Cornell University, provides a comprehensive account of how religious dogma frequently stood in opposition to scientific advancements, from the age of Galileo to Darwinian evolution. He posits that this clash hindered intellectual progress and societal development, but also acknowledges the instances where religion fostered the growth of scientific understanding. Through detailed historical analysis, White underscores the necessity of maintaining a clear separation between theological beliefs and empirical investigation for the unhindered progress of knowledge.
