Ein Erbe der Menschheit sind Zahlen und Zeichen als kosmische Einheiten für Maße in Raum und Zeit. Gezählt werden Tage, Wochen, Monate und Jahre, jedoch nicht nur in Anlehnung an die Perioden von Sonne und Mond, sondern auch an die von Saturn, Venus, Merkur und Jupiter. Die Zahl Sieben z.B. konstituiert unsere Wochenzählung, zahlreiche Bräuche und Gewohnheiten, Volksmärchen, Redensarten und Rätsel. Ebenso häufig werden die Zahlen Acht und Fünf, Sechzehn und Zehn erwähnt. Untersuchungen weisen auf einen kalendarischen Ursprung dieser Zahlenverhältnisse von fünf Venusperioden innerhalb von acht Jahren hin. In acht Jahren durchläuft aber auch der Mond eine ganze Zahl von Zyklen - 99. Beziehen sich die Zahlen, die z.B. in Märchen auftauchen, auf diese Zeitverhältnisse? Welche Märchen, Mythen und Sagen spiegeln aufgrund ihrer Zahlenverhältnisse kalendarisches oder kosmisches Wissen wider? Beispiele zur Verwendung einer "Zählmethode" aus der Bronzezeit sind bekannt, u.a. die Aubrey-Löcher (Stonehenge), die Himmelsscheibe von Nebra mit der Schaltregel oder die Goldhüte mit geheimem Kalenderwissen. Auch die Meridianlinien in Kirchen werden diskutiert, wobei Kathedralen zu Sonnenobservatorien und Kalenderbauten werden. Und was verraten die alten Maßeinheiten? Wie sind die mittelalterlichen Kirchen oder Städte ausgerichtet, z.B. die mysteriöse Drüggelter Kapelle am Möhnesee? Wie haben die Ägypter, Griechen und Römer gemessen? Wie hängt die Astronomie - früher und heute - mit der Vermessung von Himmel und Erde zusammen? Wie sehen die ältesten Messinstrumente aus? Wie hat man die Größe der Welt in Kreta vermessen? Sind die geheimnisvollen Linien von Nasca eine Kalenderanlage? Diese Kulturastronomie fragt nach der Bedeutung des Sternenhimmels für das Leben der Menschen.

Imagine being famous. Being recognized on the street, adored by people who have never even met you, known the world over. Wouldn’t that be great? But what if, one day, you got stuck in a country where celebrity means nothing, where no one spoke your language and you didn’t speak theirs, where no one knew your face (no book jackets, no TV) and you had no way of calling home? How would your fame help you then? What if someone got hold of your cell phone? What if they spoke to your girlfriends, your agent, your director, and started making decisions for you? And worse, what if no one believed you were you anymore? When you saw a look-alike acting your roles for you, what would you do? And what if one day you realized your magnum opus, like everything else you’d ever written, was a total waste of time, empty nonsense? What would you do next? Would your audience of seven million people keep you going? Or would you lose the capacity to keep on doing it? Fame and facelessness, truth and deception, spin their way through all nine episodes of this captivating, wickedly funny, and perpetually surprising novel as paths cross and plots thicken, as characters become real people and real people morph into characters. The result is a dazzling tour de force by one of Europe’s finest young writers.

Now in paperback, from one of the most dazzling authors of contemporary German literature comes this delightful tale of a philosopher and his encounter with a supernatural lion. One night, German philosopher Hans Blumenberg returns to his study to find a shocking sight--a lion lying on the floor as if it's the most natural thing in the world. The lion stretches comfortably on the Turkmen rug, eyes resting on Blumenberg. The philosopher with some effort retains his composure, even when the next day during his lecture the lion makes another appearance, ambling slowly down the center aisle. Blumenberg glances around; the seats are full, but none of his students seem to see the lion. What is going on here? Blumenberg is the captivating and witty fictional tale of this likable philosopher and the handful of students who come under the spell of the supernatural lion--including skinny Gerhard Optatus Baur, a promising young Blumenbergian, and the delicate, haughty Isa, who falls head over heels in love with the wrong man. Written by Sibylle Lewitscharoff, whom Die Welt called the "most dazzling stylist of contemporary German literature," Blumenberg will delight English readers.

A Cultural History Of The Modern Age Vol 3 written by Egon Friedell and has been published by Transaction Publishers this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on with History categories.
Volume three of A Cultural History of the Modern Age finishes a journey that begins with Descartes in the first volume and ends with Freud and the psychoanalytical movement in the third volume. Friedell describes the contents of these books as a series of performances, starting with the birth of the man of the Modern Age, followed by flowering of this epoch, and concludes with the death of the Modern Age. This huge landscape provides an intertwining of the material and the cultural, the civil and the military, from the high points of creative flowering in Europe to death and emptiness. The themes convey multiple messages: romanticism and liberalism opens the cultural scene, encased in a movement from The Congress of Vienna and its claims of peaceful co-existence to the Franco-German War. The final segment covers the period from Bismarck's generation to World War I. In each instance, the quotidian life of struggle, racial, religious, and social class is seen through the lens of the mighty figures of the period. The works of the period's great figures are shown in the new light of the human search for symbolism, the search for superman, the rise of individualism and decline of history as a source for knowledge. This third volume is painted in dark colors, a foreboding of the world that was to come, of political extremes, and intellectual exaggerations. The author looks forward to a postmodern Europe in which there is a faint glean of light from the other side. What actually appeared was the glare of Nazism and Communism, each claiming the future.

In 1799, Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland set out to determine whether the Orinoco River connected with the Amazon. But what started as a trip to investigate a relatively minor geographical controversy became the basis of a five-year exploration throughout South America, Mexico, and Cuba. The discoveries amassed by Humboldt and Bonpland were staggering, and much of today’s knowledge of tropical zoology, botany, geography, and geology can be traced back to Humboldt’s numerous records of these expeditions. One of these accounts, Views of the Cordilleras and Monuments of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, firmly established Alexander von Humboldt as the founder of Mesoamerican studies. In Views of the Cordilleras—first published in French between 1810 and 1813—Humboldt weaves together magnificently engraved drawings and detailed texts to achieve multifaceted views of cultures and landscapes across the Americas. In doing so, he offers an alternative perspective on the New World, combating presumptions of its belatedness and inferiority by arguing that the “old” and the “new” world are of the same geological age. This critical edition of Views of the Cordilleras—the second volume in the Alexander von Humboldt in English series—contains a new, unabridged English translation of Humboldt’s French text, as well as annotations, a bibliography, and all sixty-nine plates from the original edition, many of them in color.
