Sinossi

Cosmic Deities explores how ancient cultures used mythology and religious beliefs to understand the cosmos, examining the fascinating intersection of celestial deities, creation myths, and early cosmological models. It reveals how civilizations worldwide, from ancient Mesopotamia to the Americas, personified stars, planets, and cosmic forces, attributing divine roles to them. 

 
These myths weren't just stories; they were early attempts to explain the universe, reflecting observations and cultural values. For example, a culture's understanding of planetary movements might be encoded in the actions of its planetary deities. 

 
The book delves into the attributes of stellar and planetary deities, analyzing creation myths and how societies mapped the heavens. Each chapter builds upon the last, first introducing fundamental concepts and then exploring thematic elements like the significance of constellations and cosmic geography. 

 
By integrating mythological analysis with historical and scientific contexts, Cosmic Deities offers a unique perspective on the origins of human curiosity about the universe and how early civilizations used available knowledge to make sense of it all.

Data Equals - Democratic...

Colin Koopman

An expansive vision for data equality that goes beyond algorithmic fairness. 
 
When we gave algorithms power over our world, we hoped that the apparent neutrality of machine thinking would create a more egalitarian age. Yet we are more divided than ever, staring down threats to democracy itself. In Data Equals, Colin Koopman argues that data technologies fail us so often because we built them around a deficient notion of equality. 
 
It is not enough, Koopman explains, that algorithms engage everyone’s data with the same measuring stick. The data themselves are all too often structured in ways that obscure and exacerbate stratifying distinctions. Koopman contends that we must also work to ensure that those people subject to computational assessment enter data systems on equal terms. Part philosophical argument, part practical guide (replete with case studies from education technology), Data Equals offers novel methods for realizing democratic equality in a digital age.
