East-Asian Archaeoastronomy
Historical astronomical records can play an important role in modern research, especially in the case of ancient Chinese observational data: sunspot and aurora records are important for the study of solar variability; solar and lunar eclipse records for the study of the Earth's rotation; records of Comet Hally for the study of orbital evolution; "guest star" records for the study of supernova remnants; planetary conjunction records for research in astronomical chronology. In the past, Western scientists have not been able to exploit these valuable data fully because the original records were difficult to gather and interpret, and complete English translations have not been available. East-Asian Archaeoastronomy is the first comprehensive translation into English of such historical records for modern research. The book also features an introduction to East Asian astronomy and offers guidance on how to use the records effectively. It will not only be a valuable research tool for astronomers but should also be of great interest to historians of China and Chinese science.

Die Anfänge der Philosophie
Dieses Buch behandelt die auf den Kosmos bezogenen Vorstellungen der bronzezeitlichen Menschen Mittel- und Nordeuropas, der alten Ägypter, Babylonier, Inder und Chinesen, denen in dieser zeitlichen Periode die Entwicklung zu einer Hochkultur gelang. Zentrales Thema sind die kosmologischen Weltanschauungen, das astronomische Wissen und die damaligen Theorien der Weltentstehung und Weltsinn dieser globalen Hochzivilisationen. Der Blick in Jahrtausende Jahre zurückliegende Zeiten ermöglicht nicht zuletzt eine Positionierung des Menschen in der Gegenwart, indem er im Spiegel seine Vergangenheit als ́Mensch ́ an sich wahrnimmt und sich die Frage stellt: ́Woher komme ich? ́ Daher beschreibt dieses Buch den eigentlichen Beginn jeglicher Philosophie, die später in einer Vielzahl von Kulturen ihren prominenten Anfang nahm.
