Synopsis

Lost Styles explores the fascinating world of ancient and forgotten dance forms, revealing them as vital expressions of cultural identity, social structure, and spiritual belief. More than just a history lesson, this book excavates motion, uncovering stories etched in the bodies of dancers from vanished civilizations. It examines dance as a historical record and social commentary, illustrating how movements served as communal memory.

The book argues that these lost dance traditions offer invaluable insights into the worldviews and daily lives of past cultures, enriching our understanding of human history. For example, the ritualistic dances of ancient Egypt reveal their religious beliefs and funerary practices, while the acrobatic dances of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica highlight social hierarchies. By reconstructing these dances and their contexts, readers gain a deeper connection to our shared human heritage.

Beginning with a theoretical framework for understanding dance as cultural expression, Lost Styles progresses through in-depth explorations of specific dance styles from diverse regions and periods. It examines the reasons these dances disappeared, often due to colonization, religious suppression, or cultural shifts. Ultimately, the book demonstrates how rediscovering and reconstructing these lost styles can inform contemporary dance practices and cultural preservation efforts, providing fresh perspectives for both dance specialists and general readers interested in history and culture.

Minorities - The Ongoing Fight...

Marcus Klein

This book contains three titles, which are the following: 
Child Soldiers - The use of child soldiers in armed conflicts represents one of the most tragic and pervasive human rights violations of our time. Children, often as young as eight or nine, are forcibly recruited or manipulated into participating in violent wars, often by rebel groups or government forces. These young individuals, deprived of their innocence and forced to endure unimaginable hardships, are exploited in ways that not only strip them of their childhoods but also leave lasting scars on their bodies, minds, and spirits. 
Racism - Racism has been a persistent and destructive force throughout human history, shaping societies, cultures, and institutions in ways that continue to reverberate today. It manifests in myriad forms—through prejudice, discrimination, systemic inequities, and violence—targeting individuals and groups based on their race or ethnicity. While strides have been made in confronting this global scourge, the fight for equality and human dignity remains far from over. This enduring struggle is deeply rooted in historical injustices and perpetuated by contemporary systems of power and privilege.  
Sexism - Sexism, a deeply entrenched social issue, has been pervasive throughout human history, shaping the experiences of individuals and communities across the globe. At its core, sexism refers to the belief that one gender is superior to another, typically manifesting in the unequal treatment and opportunities given to individuals based on their gender. While this issue affects all genders, it is most commonly seen in the discrimination against women and girls, who have been historically marginalized and denied the same rights and opportunities as their male counterparts.

Do The Thing - A Science-Backed...

Erin Laverone

You already know what to do, so why is doing it still so hard? 
When motivation fades and life gets messy, most behavior-change advice collapses. Willpower is unreliable. Discipline becomes brittle. And the cycle of trying, failing, and blaming yourself starts all over again. 
In Do The Thing, behavior change coach Erin Laverone offers a smarter, more empathetic approach to taking action. Grounded in habit science and shaped by more than seventeen years of real-world coaching experience, this book treats behavior change not as a character test, but as a practical, adaptable process. 
Instead of asking you to try harder, Do The Thing shows you how to design habits that actually fit your life, your environment, and the way your brain really works. You’ll learn how to reduce friction, experiment without shame, and keep moving forward even when motivation disappears. 
This is not a rigid system or a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a flexible, science-backed framework that helps you close the gap between intention and action without perfectionism or self-blame. 
You don’t need more discipline or more motivation. You need a process that works when real life shows up. 
Open the book. Do the thing.
