Beschreibung

"Wood in Art" unveils the captivating world of wood carvings as vital forms of cultural storytelling and artistic expression across diverse societies. These carvings are not merely decorative; they're tangible representations of a community's worldview, values, and history, illustrating how wood has transformed from a functional material into a powerful medium for preserving traditions and commemorating events.

 
The book explores how various cultures have ingeniously adapted woodworking techniques to reflect their unique cultural identities. The book journeys across continents and through time, examining wood carvings through the lenses of art history, anthropology, and material culture.

 
It begins by introducing wood's fundamental role in human history and art, progresses to detailed analyses of carving techniques and traditions, and concludes by exploring the contemporary relevance of wood carving.

 
By drawing on archaeological findings, historical texts, and ethnographic studies, "Wood in Art" provides a comprehensive exploration of these artistic achievements.

    Are you struggling to understand yourself? Are you constantly fighting with your inner dialogue, trying to figure out what's true and real for you? Whatever it is that helps you come into your own, this book will guide you through the process. 
    Choosing your Self is a journey through the process of self-discovery, self-definition, and self-acceptance. It guides you through the stages necessary for getting to know yourself, understanding what you need for your own personal growth, finding out how to communicate with others in a way that honors who you are as well as what other people are saying and how to express your Truth in a way that is both truthful and respectful of other people. Choosing your Self helps you connect with whatever it is that has always been your guiding light but has been dimmed by fears of rejection or fears of abandonment. 
    I believe there is some way to define yourself that is right for you. And I believe there is a way to communicate with others that is right for you, too. In Choosing your Self, these discoveries are taken one step at a time, to make the process as smooth and clear as possible. 
    There are no magic formulas, no single-step solutions and no "quick fix". But if you're willing to work at it, if you're willing to go through the process of self-exploration, self-discovery, and acceptance (the process described in this book), I promise that you'll have a smoother journey on your road toward wholeness than many other people do. 
    This book covers:Understanding selfHow to engage in self-care activitiesHow to change negative thinking behaviorsPositive psychology and mindfulnessHow to solve negative thinking habits 
    And much more. 
    So, Understand yourself. Change your life.

    Borders are not just meaningless geographical lines. They have an impact on all of our lives, whether it's the fallout from Brexit or the inhumanity of a detention center. In Border Nation, Leah Cowan shows how borders are violent, oppressive, and must be resisted. Looking back, we learn of the elitist, colonial, and patriarchal origins of borders, explore the vital history of anti-racist, anti-border organizing and hear stories from people who have crossed partitions. Debunking myths around migration, Leah Cowan unpacks the 'hostile environment' and reveals how healthcare crises, terrorism, unemployment, and housing shortages are often manipulated by politicians and the media to vilify migrants. As borders grow, migrants are policed, and immigration controls are tightened, this book transforms our understanding of borders, migration, and our fight for belonging.

    'Every thoughtful person, concerned for the future of this country, needs to read this book.' - Prof. Irfan Habib 
    Yaadon ke Bikhre Moti, the Hindi translation of the bestselling Remnants of a Separation, is a unique attempt to revisit the Partition through objects that refugees carried with them across the border. These belongings absorbed the memory of a time and place, remaining latent and undisturbed for generations. They now speak of their owner's pasts as they emerge as testaments to the struggle, sacrifice, pain and belonging at an unparalleled moment in history. A string of pearls gifted by a maharaja, carried from Dalhousie to Lahore, reveals the grandeur of a life that once was. A notebook of poems, brought from Lahore to Kalyan, shows one woman's determination to pursue the written word despite the turmoil around her. The product of years of research, this book is an alternative history of the Partition - the first and only one told through material memory that makes the event tangible even seven decades later.

    A New Resource for Those Experiencing Loss   With It’s OK That You’re Not OK, Megan Devine offers a profound new approach to both the experience of grief and the way we help others who have endured tragedy. Having experienced grief from both sides—as both a therapist and as a woman who witnessed the accidental drowning of her beloved partner—Megan writes with deep insight about the unspoken truths of loss, love, and healing. She debunks the culturally prescribed goal of returning to a normal, “happy” life, replacing it with a far healthier middle path, one that invites us to build a life alongside grief rather than seeking to overcome it.   On this unabridged audio recording read by the author, Megan offers stories, research, life tips, and creative and mindfulness-based practices to guide us through an experience we all must face. With Megan’s gentle but direct guidance, you’ll learn:   • Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief • How challenging the myths of grief—doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold—allows us to accept it as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve • Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to “fix” your pain   Many people who have suffered a loss feel judged, dismissed, and misunderstood by a culture that wants to “solve” grief. Megan writes, “Grief no more needs a solution than love needs a solution.” It’s OK That You’re Not OK is a book for grieving people, those who love them, and all those seeking to love themselves—and each other—better.
