Beschreibung

Alexandrite Origins explores the fascinating story behind this color-changing gemstone, revealing how rare geological circumstances give rise to its unique properties. The book delves into the specific conditions needed for alexandrite to form, emphasizing the interplay of elements like beryllium and chromium. One intriguing aspect highlighted is how alexandrite's existence serves as a marker for unusual geological events, offering insights into the Earth's metamorphic processes.

 
The book also explains the physics behind alexandrite's pleochroism, the phenomenon that causes it to appear green in daylight and red in incandescent light. This color change is due to the way chromium ions absorb light within the crystal structure. Furthermore, it examines the historical and economic significance of alexandrite discoveries, noting how its rarity contributes to its value.

 
The book progresses from introducing chrysoberyl's composition to exploring geological environments and metamorphic events to discussing pleochroism and historical discoveries. This book uniquely emphasizes the geological rarity and specific formation conditions of alexandrite.

 
By presenting complex scientific information in an accessible manner, Alexandrite Origins caters to a broad audience, including geology students, gemologists, and anyone interested in Earth sciences and the origins of gemstones.

    Aztec Astronomy and Astrology:...

    Nearly 500 years after the Spanish conquered their mighty empire, the Aztecs are often remembered today for their major capital, Tenochtitlan, as well as being fierce conquerors of the Valley of Mexico who often engaged in human sacrifice rituals. Unlike the Maya, the Aztecs are not widely viewed or remembered with nuance, in part because their own leader burned extant Aztec writings and rewrote a mythologized history explaining his empire’s dominance less than a century before the Spanish arrived. Naturally, Cortes and other Spaniards depicted the Aztecs as savages greatly in need of conversion to Catholicism. While the Maya are remembered for their astronomy, numeral system, and calendar, the Aztecs have primarily been remembered in a far narrower way, despite continuing to be a source of pride to Mexicans through the centuries. 
    	For the Aztec, astronomy was not a purely scientific pursuit but intimately linked to religious, mythological, and ideological elements that were of the highest importance. The celestial realm held a sacred nature, as did the many gods and goddesses that dwelt there, so for all Mesoamerican cultures, astronomy was a fundamental part of their daily lives. Thus, astronomy was present in their calendars, religion, and even agriculture, and in close relation to astronomy, the concept of time was also an essential part of their worldview. The Aztec recorded many of the astronomical events they observed in codices and hieroglyphic inscriptions, but the main evidence of their deep astronomical knowledge comes from their calendar system. This information was then used to plan the orientation of buildings and ceremonial centers, which were aligned to sunrises or sunsets corresponding to special dates, such as solstices or equinoxes. Observational calendars were also used to schedule agricultural activities, as well as rituals, festivals, and celebrations, on an annual cycle.

    The human eye is one of the most complex and vital organs in the body, enabling individuals to perceive the world in vivid detail. Sight is not only a primary means of experiencing life but also a crucial factor in overall well-being. Despite its importance, eye health is often overlooked until vision problems arise. Many common eye conditions develop gradually, making early detection and preventive care essential. Understanding the significance of eye health is the first step toward maintaining clear vision and preventing long-term complications. 
    One of the most critical reasons for prioritizing eye health is the role of vision in daily life. From reading and driving to recognizing faces and navigating environments, sight influences nearly every aspect of human activity. Poor vision can significantly impact quality of life, leading to difficulties in education, work, and social interactions. Children with undiagnosed vision problems may struggle in school, while adults with deteriorating eyesight can experience reduced productivity and increased dependence on others. Addressing eye health early helps ensure that vision remains strong and functional throughout life.

    Software was supposed to radically improve society. Outdated mechanical systems would be easily replaced; social media platforms like Facebook would bring people together; and generative AI would solve the world’s greatest ills. Yet in practice, few of the systems we looked to with such high hopes have lived up to their fundamental mandate. In fact, in too many cases they've made things worse. How did we get to this point? 
     
     
     
    In Fatal Abstraction, Darryl Campbell explains that the problem is "managerial software": programs created and overseen not by engineers but by professional managers with only the most superficial knowledge of technology itself. 
     
     
     
    A former tech worker himself, Campbell shows how managerial software fails, and when it does what sorts of disastrous consequences ensue, from the Boeing 737 MAX crashes to a deadly self-driving car to PowerPoint propaganda, and beyond. Yet just because the tech industry is currently breaking its core promise does not mean the industry cannot change. Campbell argues that the solution is tech workers with actual expertise establishing industry-wide principles of ethics and safety that corporations would be forced to follow. Fatal Abstraction is a stirring rebuke of the tech industry's current managerial excesses, and also a hopeful glimpse of what a world shaped by good software can offer.
