Sinopsis

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.

Hal Borland

"Some dogs, like some people, just can't abide a quiet life," writes the author of the national bestseller, The Dog Who Came to Stay, in this warm and touching memoir. 
 
 
 
Penny the basset shows up at the Borlands' Connecticut farmhouse on a cold, snowy day—head held high, tail wagging, as if she were a long-awaited guest. Hal and Barbara Borland were no strangers to strays. Pat, the rabbit hound thousands of people came to know in The Dog Who Came to Stay, had also appeared one winter, staying to become the family's dear companion. Now, Pat is gone, and Hal and Barbara are bereft without canine company. They fall in love with Penny—and she seems to fit right in. 
 
 
  
Penny is a delightful dog—short-legged, flop-eared, full of fun and curiosity. And she loves people, so much so that she leaves the Borlands to go visiting elsewhere, often settling in with a different family for days on end. Indeed, Hal and Barbara admire her for her spirit of individuality and independence. 
 
 
  
Though she never truly belonged to them, the Borlands agreed that Penny was a dog well worth loving—and so will listeners.
