Synopsis

In "Outlines of Zu√±i Creation Myths," Frank Hamilton Cushing embarks on an illuminating exploration of the intricate tapestry of Zu√±i cosmology. The book meticulously chronicles the creation myths of the Zu√±i people, employing both an ethnographic lens and a narrative style that captures the oral traditions of this Indigenous culture. Cushing'Äôs work intertwines anthropological insights with lyrical prose, illuminating the essential motifs of life, nature, and spirituality that permeate these myths while situating them within the broader landscape of Native American folklore and oral storytelling traditions. Frank Hamilton Cushing was a pioneering American anthropologist and ethnologist, notably associated with the American Museum of Natural History in the late 19th century. His extensive fieldwork among the Zu√±i tribe not only enriched his understanding of their culture but also imbued his writings with profound respect and genuine appreciation for their traditions. Cushing's passion for preserving native narratives and his commitment to cultural anthropology were instrumental in his dedication to documenting the spiritual life of the Zu√±i, influenced by his surroundings and a deep connection with the community. Readers interested in Indigenous studies, anthropology, and mythology will find "Outlines of Zu√±i Creation Myths" an indispensable text. Cushing'Äôs meticulous observations and engaging storytelling offer insight into the transformative power of myths and their role in forging communal identity. This book stands as a crucial contribution not only to the understanding of Zu√±i culture but also to the broader discourse on Native American narratives.

    In the Early Middle Ages, the Anglo-Saxons were a cultural group that resided in England. They traced their roots back to the arrival of incomers to Britain in the fifth century, who originated from the North Sea coastlands of continental Europe. The ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, happened in Britain, and the identity wasn't just imported. The contact between getting in groups of people from some Germanic tribe, both amongst themselves and with native British populations, led to the facility of an Anglo-Saxon identity. A lot of the native tribes ultimately incorporated and embraced Anglo-Saxon society and language. The Anglo-Saxons established the idea of England and the Kingdom of England, and while the modern English language owes practically 26% of its vocabulary to them, this includes the great bulk of words used in daily discussion. 
    The Anglo-Saxon period in history describes the period in Britain from roughly 450 and 1066, starting with their preliminary settlement and ending with the Norman Conquest. 
    Let’s have a look at how this time period has influenced European history, and what else was so significant about the Anglo-Saxon civilization.

    Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world.  
     
    He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic.  
     
    Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor’s Journey to Broadway’s Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s inspiring story. As an autistic and legally blind person, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of  
    doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the  
    play Amadeus, cocreated the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph.  
     
    Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he  
    shows all people—autistic and nonautistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.

    An engaging new translation of a timeless masterpiece about coping with the death of a loved one 
     
     
     
    In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward. 
     
     
     
    Lost in antiquity, Cicero's Consolation was recreated in the Renaissance from hints in Cicero's other writings and the Greek and Latin consolatory tradition. The resulting masterpiece—translated here for the first time in 250 years—is infused throughout with Cicero's thought and spirit. 
     
     
     
    Complete with an inviting introduction, Michael Fontaine's engaging translation makes this searching exploration of grief available to readers once again.
