Sinossi

Ancient Textile Craft explores the fascinating world of ancient textiles, revealing how weaving, dyeing, and other textile crafts were essential forms of cultural expression and social status. These ancient crafts provide tangible connections to vanished civilizations, offering insights into their technological capabilities, resource management, and artistic sensibilities. Examining these textiles allows us to understand aspects of ancient life, often overlooked, such as the sophistication of indigenous communities and their impact on local ecosystems. The book demonstrates that ancient textiles were more than mere utilitarian objects; they served as vital forms of communication and embodiments of cultural heritage. Through archaeological finds, museum collections, and scientific analyses, the book uncovers the ingenuity of ancient artisans.

 
Ancient Textile Craft begins by introducing fundamental techniques and progresses through themes such as textiles reflecting social status and the role of textiles in ritual, ultimately discussing their legacy on contemporary art and design. By connecting history with crafts and hobbies, this book offers a unique perspective on the agency and creativity of indigenous textile producers. It challenges the traditional view of textiles as passive objects, highlighting their active role in shaping cultural identity and social relations. Case studies of cultures like the Inca and Egyptians illustrate these themes, making the book valuable for students, researchers, craft enthusiasts, and anyone interested in ancient history.

    "A fun introduction to English history for those who may find conventional history books dry and tedious... it offers an accessible and enjoyable alternative to more traditional texts." 
    "a delightful blend of history, humor, and art. It provides readers with an entertaining way to learn about England’s past while enjoying the wit and creativity of A. Beckett. Whether you are a history buff or someone looking for a lighthearted approach to learning, this book offers something for everyone." 
    In the third drily hilarious volume of A Comic History Of England, we move forward to the thirteenth century, when a succession of Edwards and Henrys gain the throne and immediately use it to steal everything they can from the population, in order to fund attempts to conquer France (or pay their debts from conquering England). Along the way we get the fabled Black Prince, one of the greatest battles in English history, a queen far more powerful than her king or sons, and a consideration of the manners and condition of the English period up to this point in the history.

    Long before their country officially joined the war, American aid workers were active in rescue efforts across Europe. Two such Americans were Martha and Waitstill Sharp, who were originally sent to Prague as part of a relief effort but turned immediately to helping Jews and dissidents after the 1939 invasion by Germany. 
     
     
     
    They were not the only ones. Renowned historian Debórah Dwork follows the story of rescue workers in five major cities as the refugee crisis expanded to Vilna, Shanghai, Marseille, and Lisbon. Followed by Nazi agents, spiriting people across borders, they learned secrecy. 
     
     
     
    Others negotiated with government representatives, like Laura Margolis, who worked with the Japanese, to get enough food and warm shelter for the refugees in Shanghai. Yet, the women also often faced lack of support from their agencies; if part of a couple, they fought to get paid even at a low salary despite working as long and hard as their husbands. 
     
     
     
    Moving and revelatory, Saints and Liars illuminates the unpredictable circumstances with which these aid workers contended, while revealing the moral questions they encountered and the devastating decisions they had to make.

    On 29 May 1953 Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquered Everest.Before it had claimed the lives of dozens of climbers, including George Leigh Mallory in 1924. Norgay, the descendant of generations of yak herders, was destined to become a Lama, but his love for the mountains was that much stronger and he ran away from his Buddhist monastery. He had but one dream despite the deaths of many mountaineers: to conquer Everest. For thirty years expeditions had been struggling to scale its fiendishly difficult icy slopes until he and Hillary finally succeeded. His memoir is a unique and eloquent tribute to Zen and the art of mountain climbing.
