Book Synopsis The Babylonian Theory of the Planets by : N. M. Swerdlow
Download or read book The Babylonian Theory of the Planets written by N. M. Swerdlow and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second millennium b.c., Babylonian scribes assembled a vast collection of astrological omens, believed to be signs from the gods concerning the kingdom's political, military, and agricultural fortunes. The importance of these omens was such that from the eighth or seventh until the first century, the scribes observed the heavens nightly and recorded the dates and locations of ominous phenomena of the moon and planets in relation to stars and constellations. The observations were arranged in monthly reports along with notable events and prices of agricultural commodities, the object being to find correlations between phenomena in the heavens and conditions on earth. These collections of omens and observations form the first empirical science of antiquity and were the basis of the first mathematical science, astronomy. For it was discovered that planetary phenomena, although irregular and sometimes concealed by bad weather, recur in limited periods within cycles in which they are repeated on nearly the same dates and in nearly the same locations. N. M. Swerdlow's book is a study of the collection and observation of ominous celestial phenomena and of how intervals of time, locations by zodiacal sign, and cycles in which the phenomena recur were used to reduce them to purely arithmetical computation, thereby surmounting the greatest obstacle to observation, bad weather. The work marks a striking advance in our understanding of both the origin of scientific astronomy and the astrological divination through which the kingdoms of ancient Mesopotamia were governed.

Book excerpt: Every conclusion arrived at as a result of study of the fragments of information available in respect to money and its creators in the world of the Ancient Civilizations, indicates the existence of a far reaching conspiracy in respect to monetary issuance influencing the progression of man's history in the earliest times of which written record exists. It is also outstandingly clear that it was parent to that acknowledged and most obvious conspiracy such as exists today. Hence was able to develop that conspiracy against mankind most exemplified by a continuous propaganda of hate against all authority: in pre-antiquity and antiquity against the many city gods, and in relatively modern times against the kings that rose out of the ruins of that which had been Rome. As those controlling totally the economic life of a state through monetary creation and emission, must have felt that kings and gods were more of a nuisance than anything else, the instigators of this conspiracy in whatever place and era, obviously were those who first did the business of bankers; the controllers of values, and consequently the economic life of the states wherever the precious metal standard was used.
Book Synopsis Babylon Religion by : David W. Daniels
Download or read book Babylon Religion written by David W. Daniels and published by Chick Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history of goddess-worship. Written like a graphic novel, this well-researched book shows how goddess worship "morphed" through the centuries until it climaxed in its present most common form: the worship of the Virgin Mary. In different cultures, the names were different, but the goddess was the same. She was the Queen of Heaven, the mother of the god. She became the Mediatrix through whom all must go to reach their god.Author David Daniels is a stickler for research, so no one will be surprised to find a 30-page section of End Notes, as well as annotated bibliography. You can check out his facts for yourself! It's a heavy subject, but the illustrations by Jack T Chick help to make the story flow, and a lot easier for the casual reader to understand.
Book Synopsis Babylonian Creation Myths by : Wilfred G. Lambert
Download or read book Babylonian Creation Myths written by Wilfred G. Lambert and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the last half of the twentieth century, W. G. Lambert devoted much of his research energy and effort to the study of Babylonian texts dealing with Mesopotamian ideas regarding creation, including especially Enuma Elish. This volume, which appears almost exactly 2 years after Lambert’s death, distills a lifetime of learning by the world’s foremost expert on these texts. Lambert provides a full transliteration and translation of the 7 tablets of Enuma Elish, based on the known exemplars, as well as coverage of a number of other texts that bear on, or are thought to bear on, Mesopotamian notions of the origin of the world, mankind, and the gods. New editions of seventeen additional “creation tales” are provided, including “Enmesharra’s Defeat,” “Enki and Ninmah,” “The Slaying of Labbu,” and “The Theogony of Dunnu.” Lambert pays special attention, of course, to the connection of the main epic, Enuma Elish, with the rise and place of Marduk in the Babylonian pantheon. He traces the development of this deity’s origin and rise to prominence and elaborates the relationship of this text, and the others discussed, to the religious and political climate Babylonia. The volume includes 70 plates (primarily hand-copies of the various exemplars of Enuma Elish) and extensive indexes.

Book Synopsis The Babylonian Quartet by : J. Clarke McIntosh
Download or read book The Babylonian Quartet written by J. Clarke McIntosh and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we read? We read to be entertained, challenged, informed, and as The Shadowlands declares, “we read to know we are not alone.” Why do Christians read? We need to learn more about God, ourselves, our journey. The Babylonian Quartet is a collection of three stories that retell the timeless and timely struggle of four adolescents forcibly removed from their homes and transported to another culture. It tells of their bonding together, their commitments to God and one another that enables them to stand firmly against forces that threaten their lives and seek to push them into compromise. The Furnace tells the story of the exile of four Hebrew youths arriving in Babylon and committing themselves to excellence. It tells of the revelation of God to Daniel regarding Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and interpretation. It culminates in the other three youths standing firm and finding God’s power and warmth in the Babylonian monarch’s furnace. The Restoration picks up after The Furnace, bringing some romance into the lives of the youths, their elevation in the Chaldean realm, the interpretation of the second dream of Nebuchadnezzar, and their work to assure his reclaiming of his throne following his debacle. It culminates in the profession of faith by the great Chaldean monarch. The Den begins with the handwriting on the wall, the collapse of the Chaldean regime, and the division of the quartet. Azariah (Abed-nego) the narrator of all three books, ends up in Susa with Daniel, whereas Hananiah (Shadrach) and Mishael (Meshack) stay in Babylon. The story recounts the rise of Daniel to the position of greatest authority, the treachery of his “colleagues,” culminating in his night with the lions.

Book Synopsis Inclusive Schooling by : Stanley J. Vitello
Download or read book Inclusive Schooling written by Stanley J. Vitello and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides new information on how various inclusion policies have been implemented in different schools and school districts in North America and in a range of European countries. The purpose of inclusion policy is to prevent the marginalization of people who experience unfavorable circumstances in life. It is an approach to the education of students with disabilities that is based on a commitment to what all members of a free society deserve in order to become fully participating members--a fair chance to find a meaningful place in their own communities. This book is a kind of status report on what inclusive education has achieved and what it may achieve in the future for children and youth with disabilities. It describes the philosophical, legal, and practical terrain covered by inclusion policy in general and inclusive schooling in particular. Contributors assess inclusion policy and suggest ways to reconceptualize it, bringing to their data analysis a depth of experience and knowledge about public schooling in their respective countries. Although inclusion of students with disabilities in general education classes has been embraced by politicians and educators calling for equal opportunity in our society and is being incorporated into national and international education laws, it continues to be controversial and the debate is sometimes heated. A goal of this book is to shed some light on this debate. Is inclusion mostly about student placement? Are students with disabilities attaining social and learning membership in general classrooms? Have they benefitted from inclusion? How about students without disabilities? What have been the benefits? Must learning take second priority to socialization and friendship? Are teachers getting the training they need? How do parents feel about inclusion programs? How do students feel? What kind of curricular accommodations should be made? These and other questions are addressed. This volume is based on original papers presented by the contributing authors in October 1997 at the Rutgers Invitational Symposium on Education on Inclusive Schooling: National and International Perspectives.
