  • What Your Favorite Color Says About You - The Psychology of Color Preferences - cover

    What Your Favorite Color Says...

    Color is a fundamental part of human experience, shaping emotions, perceptions, and even behavior. From ancient civilizations to modern psychology, color has been studied for its impact on the human mind. Some colors evoke feelings of warmth and excitement, while others create a sense of calm and relaxation. But beyond their immediate effects, colors can also serve as a reflection of personality and identity. The idea that a person’s favorite color reveals something about their character has intrigued psychologists, researchers, and individuals alike. This book explores the fascinating connection between color preferences and human psychology, offering insights into how and why we gravitate toward certain shades.  
    How a person develops a preference for a particular color is influenced by multiple factors, including early childhood experiences, cultural associations, and even genetic predispositions. Some psychologists suggest that color preferences are rooted in personal memories—positive experiences with a specific color may lead to a lasting affinity for it. Additionally, cultural and societal norms play a significant role in shaping perceptions of color. For example, while white represents purity and new beginnings in Western cultures, it is often associated with mourning in parts of Asia. These cultural variations demonstrate that color meanings are not universal, but rather deeply ingrained in social contexts.  
    Despite these external influences, color preferences are also highly personal and can evolve over time. A child who loves bright and playful colors like yellow or orange may later develop an appreciation for more subdued tones such as blue or gray. Life experiences, emotional growth, and shifting priorities contribute to these changes.

    More and more textile artists are using natural processes in their work, from dyeing with rust to working with found and scavenged items, and this book is the first to bring these increasingly popular techniques together. It promotes a way of working creatively with what is close at hand, whether gathered on walks by the seashore or collected in your garden, and working in tune with natural processes, bringing the rhythms and unpredictability of nature into your work.
    Examples of this type of working include rust dyeing embroidered fabric to give it a natural patina, dyeing with garden fruits or seaweed, weaving with pieces of beachcombed fibre and printing with found objects. In all of this work nature is directly harnessed to make its mark.
    The book is illustrated with the finest examples of contemporary embroidery and textile-art work using nature, by artists whose practice is tied up with their experience of and respect for the natural environment, often capturing a very strong sense of place and a feeling of calmness and contemplation.

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    The issues in this ebook concern various aspects of protecting your family and home and related ideas is organised into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about their safety.  
    There has always been an unacceptable amount of burglary. It is such a harrowing experience to be burgled. People are forced to accept that they are not safe even in their own homes. 
    In the days of larger families, it was not easy for the burglar. There was always someone at home, and usually several people. Burglars would be detected and easily overpowered. Nowadays, on the other hand, many people live alone, and many of those are elderly baby-boomers. 
    It can induce a permanent state of worry and anxiety. 
    One way around this, is to implement a home security system. They are actually quiet affordable now too. A decent home security system, coupled with friendly neighbours, is an affordable solution. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first. 
    In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.

    Tokugawa Shogunate - Peace...

    The Tokugawa Shogunate, also known as the Edo period (1603–1868), was a time of unprecedented peace and stability in Japan, following centuries of war and political fragmentation. This era began with the victory of Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, a decisive conflict that allowed him to consolidate power over the warring daimyo. Three years later, in 1603, he was granted the title of shogun by the emperor, officially marking the beginning of Tokugawa rule. 
    Ieyasu’s triumph at Sekigahara was not merely a military success but also a demonstration of his strategic brilliance and political foresight. By carefully forging alliances and exploiting rivalries among the daimyo, he ensured that his Tokugawa clan would emerge as the dominant force in Japan. Once in power, Ieyasu took immediate steps to secure his family’s hold over the nation. He redistributed land among the daimyo, rewarding loyal vassals and weakening potential threats. This reorganization of landholdings laid the foundation for the centralized feudal system that would define the Tokugawa era. 
    Although Ieyasu formally retired in 1605, passing the title of shogun to his son Tokugawa Hidetada, he continued to wield significant influence from behind the scenes. His retirement was a strategic move designed to solidify the legitimacy of hereditary succession, ensuring that the Tokugawa family would maintain control for generations. This transition of power set a precedent for stability, preventing the kind of succession disputes that had plagued previous shogunates.

    Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), who can be assigned to the school of classical modernism, was born in Amersfort, Netherlands. After studying in Amsterdam, he started his artist´s career in the impressionist style as a figure and landscape painter. His works from these years showed the influence of Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) and of Fauvism, a French school from the beginning of the 20th century. When he traveled to Paris in 1911, he discovered Pablo Picasso´s works (1881-1973) and, with that, Cubism. He thereafter became a pioneer of abstract painting in the Netherlands. From the 1920s on, his paintings show a vertical and horizontal composition that, combined with the oppositions of blue, yellow, red, and noncolored spaces, turned into his trademark. His art was very appreciated in New York, where he spent his last years. Mondrian was not only a painter but also an art theoretician and cofounder of the art school De Stijl.
