Sinopse

"Braiding Heritage" unveils the fascinating world of braiding as a deeply significant cultural practice that transcends mere hairstyling. This comprehensive exploration reveals how braiding techniques have evolved from practical necessities into powerful symbols of social status, cultural identity, and artistic expression across diverse civilizations, from Ancient Egyptian cornrows to Indigenous American storytelling styles.

 
The book masterfully weaves together historical research and practical application through three distinct sections. Beginning with archaeological evidence and ancient texts, it establishes braiding's historical foundations before delving into the cultural significance of various styles and their connections to societal values and religious beliefs. The final section bridges past and present by offering detailed, illustrated instructions for recreating historical patterns while respecting their cultural origins.

 
What sets this work apart is its holistic approach to understanding braiding as both an art form and a cultural phenomenon. Drawing from anthropological studies, museum collections, and collaborations with cultural practitioners, it presents a unique intersection of practical crafting and scholarly research. The book not only preserves traditional techniques but also addresses contemporary discussions about cultural appreciation, making it an invaluable resource for historians, craftspeople, and anyone interested in understanding how this ancient practice continues to influence modern society.

Join the call of a just kitchen: where meal preparation is as much an act of resistance against injustice as marches and protests. 
 
 
 
For food and faith writers and podcasters Derrick Weston and Anna Woofenden, The Just Kitchen is about a passion for food, sharing meals, showing hospitality, and understanding cultures, faith traditions, food histories, and local foodways. 
 
 
 
Their authentic podcast conversations spill over the pages of this book and explore how the kitchen can be a place where the things we care about most in the world are reflected in the foods we prepare and the way we prepare them. In a world where disconnection from the earth, our food, our faith, and each other is becoming the norm, Weston and Woofenden bring together voices of hope who are working for a world of organic reconnections. They invite us to dig deeply into the complexity of ecology and food systems, as well as how faith communities are connected to them. 
 
 
 
This is an invitation to reprioritize the kitchen as a space for healing, community, activism, and celebration. Be inspired to see the sacred in the daily mundane, forge connection with the people and earth around you, and join the call of a just kitchen.

In Soul Friend and Other Love Notes to the Natural World, author and naturalist Sheila McEntee artfully conveys her deep love of the natural world and the solace she finds there. In twelve brief personal essays, spanning 20 years, she explores the flora and fauna in Appalachian forests, on the shores of the Potomac River, and, especially, in her own backyard, as she navigates the joys and trials of an introspective life: love, loss, death, loneliness, intimacy, uncertainty, and, ultimately, self-knowing and self-acceptance. In this small volume, we learn that nature teaches resiliency, and to be present to it is to find joy. Indeed, there is no heartache or struggle for which it does not offer comfort.

“I couldn’t stop reading it. It is well written with good imagery and appeals to those of us who have dealt with fear on any level…” ~ Bruce Weary, D.C., endurance rider 
Sometimes raw, sometimes humorous, but always honest, this is a true account of a woman’s struggle to overcome a paralyzing fear, get back into the sport she loves, and the friendships she develops along the way. 
After a lifetime of riding and owning horses and performing both in the show ring and on the trail, a difficult fall off her own horse on her own property leads Pam to realize age is catching up with her and she has become afraid to get back in the saddle. She embarks on a journey to find the perfect horse to help her get back into the tough sport of endurance riding, never knowing she would find help, both physically and emotionally, in a trainer and fellow rider who becomes a great friend. 
This is a book for anyone who has fear or aging issues, anyone who loves riding horses, and anyone who needs a bit of hope.
