Beschreibung

"Color in Festivals" explores the profound role of color in global celebrations, revealing how it functions as a symbolic language that communicates identity, spirituality, and social order. The book argues that color is not merely decorative but a powerful tool for understanding cultural values and histories. For example, the prevalence of red in many festivals often symbolizes good fortune and vitality, while white frequently represents purity or mourning, depending on the cultural context. 

 
The book progresses thematically, beginning with color theory and symbolism, then delving into case studies from around the world, such as Holi in India and Day of the Dead in Mexico. It emphasizes the historical context of color usage, noting how the availability and cost of dyes influenced their symbolic value. By analyzing historical records, ethnographic studies, and visual materials, the book uncovers overarching patterns in the global use of color, highlighting both universal themes and culturally specific interpretations. This approach provides a unique lens for cross-cultural understanding, making it valuable for anyone interested in world history and social science.

    “It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.” ~Warren Buffet 
    Crisis manager George Pillari takes the reader through a series of real-life case studies to show us that decision making in tense situations is a skill to be learned and perfected. Different from most business books that talk about recipes for success (improve your habits, be more productive, etc.), Stupidities highlights what you need to avoid in order to be successful. 
    In his foreword to the book, Guy Kawasaki sums it up: 
    “80% of success is avoiding stupidity.” 
    We learn from the success and failures of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Holmes, Google X, JP Morgan, the New York Yankees, the Titan Sub, Thomas Edison, Taylor Swift, and others. 
    The Seven Deadly Stupidities: 
    Going for the Moonshot 
    Surrendering to FOMO 
    Relying on Family and Friends 
    Being Blinded by the Upside 
    Trusting the Media 
    Using Quick and Dirty Thinking 
    Neglecting to Measure Twice 
    There is the amazing story of Soviet General Petrov, who avoided all seven of the stupidities and prevented a global thermonuclear war. 
    The chapter-by-chapter format lets the reader thumb through and pick the order to read the book. The summary of each stupidity includes lessons learned and advice on how to avoid the stupidity and “be smarter.” 
    We are twice as likely to respond to negative events than positive ones. Pillari uses this behavioral sciences insight to guide the reader through how to learn from the failures of others and become a better decision-maker.

    A vibrant and illuminating exploration of medieval thinking on women's beauty, sexuality, and behavior. 
     
     
     
    What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love, and be? In this high-spirited history, medievalist Eleanor Janega turns to the Middle Ages, the era that bridged the ancient world and modern society, to unfurl its suppositions about women and reveal what's shifted over time—and what hasn't. 
     
     
     
    Enshrined medieval thinkers, almost always male, subscribed to a blend of classical Greek and Roman philosophy and Christian theology for their concepts of the sexes. For the height of female attractiveness, they chose the mythical Helen of Troy, whose imagined pear shape, small breasts, and golden hair served as beauty's epitome. Casting Eve's shadow over medieval women, they derided them as oversexed sinners, inherently lustful, insatiable, and weak. And, unless a nun, a woman was to be the embodiment of perfect motherhood. 
     
     
     
    In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.
