Sinopse

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.

Gardening Can Be Murder - How...

Marta McDowell

This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come.    “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries

Two Cats on the Camino -...

Pia Lamm

I'm sitting on the bus to León and the lady next to me is taking one candy after another to suck on while she's talking on the phone at the same time. If there was even the slightest chance that she could understand me, I would scream out loud: FOR GOD'S SAKE, STOP THAT! Instead, I cover my ears and wait for the trip to be over. Of course, such hyperacusis can affect not only people with autism. However, it once again makes me aware of the challenges that neurodivergent people face when traveling. A day later, still in Spain, I grab my phone and start dictating this book to the voice recognition app. A book about how to cope on the Camino de Santiago as an autistic person.
