Synopsis

Precolonial Metalwork explores the fascinating history of indigenous metallurgy, revealing sophisticated artistic and technological achievements developed independently across the globe. Challenging Eurocentric perspectives, the book demonstrates that complex metalworking skills were mastered in many precolonial societies. Discover how metalwork was deeply intertwined with social status, ritual practices, and artistic expression, far beyond mere functional craft.

 
The book examines diverse metalworking traditions through archaeological findings, historical accounts, and ethnographical studies. For example, the goldwork of pre-Columbian South America showcases an exquisite aesthetic sense and mastery of materials.

 
The book progresses through chapters focusing on specific geographical regions, such as West African bronze casting, highlighting the unique metalworking traditions of each culture and their applications in tools, weapons, regalia, and jewelry.

 
Finally, the book culminates by exploring the cultural and symbolic meanings embedded in these metal artifacts, discussing their role in trade, warfare, and religious ceremonies, and contrasting their forms and uses.

    The internationally acclaimed last work by the legendary Latin American writer Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction. Comprised of all new material, published here for the first time in a wonderful English translation by longtime collaborator Mark Fried, Hunter of Stories is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy. Written in his signature style -- vignettes that fluidly combine dialogue, fables, and anecdotes -- every page displays the original thinking and compassion that has earned Galeano decades and continents of renown.

    Rage through the centuries has shown that anger can be a catalyst for change; it can also be a tool employed in fear by those resisting reform or trying to quell protests or advancements by other people. Perhaps you too have experienced the rise of rage within yourself. You might be fed up with feeling angry and not having any way to express it. But counselor and psychotherapist Julie Christiansen says that if we take time to examine the belief systems that fuel our anger, we can free ourselves from the bondage that anger puts us in, learning how to make it work for us. 
     
     
     
    When we map out our anger, we can learn to manage it. With a ten-step program full of practical exercises such as defining your anger style, understanding your belief systems, releasing residual anger, and more, The Rise of Rage will help you: identify the ten anger styles; develop tools for resolving anger at work; give effective feedback and criticism; listen more effectively with a view to deepening connection; enhance communication in all manner of relationships; harness the power of forgiveness and acceptance; communicate effectively with angry people. 
     
     
     
    Embrace this journey of self-discovery with The Rise of Rage to learn what real anger is, what real forgiveness looks like, and which safe, effective, and successful anger resolution tools work best for you.
