Synopsis

"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.

    Be encouraged! You're already "doing it right" just by doing it. 
     
    · a must-have resource for parents who homeschool or who want to start 
    · from the founder of the 1000 Hours Outside Movement  
    · equips parents with the confidence and tools they need to give their children the education they dream of and deserve 
     
    During the past five years, homeschooling rates have been on the rise and show no signs of slowing. But many parents lack confidence, questioning whether they are doing it right (or whether they should take the plunge at all). With so many voices offering conflicting advice, it's hard to know where to start and where to go from there. 
     
    A homeschooling mother of five and founder of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich draws from her years of experience and research, as well as her master's degree in education from the University of Michigan, to encourage and equip parents who want to give homeschooling a try or want to improve their experience.  
     
    Starting from the standpoint of "you're doing it right" instead of "you're doing it wrong," Ginny helps parents understand that just by choosing to homeschool they are 
    · learning through living 
    · allowing for individual timelines 
    · leaving space for boredom 
    · providing multiage experiences 
    · teaching self-reliance 
    · offering freedom 
    · slowing down 
    · and more 
     
    If you've been on the fence about homeschooling or wondering if you're doing it all wrong, let Ginny encourage you in all you've already accomplished and equip you for even greater things ahead.

    Though our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits. 
     
     
     
    The authors take the listener step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Listeners will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burn out, and relative versus absolute thinking. 
     
     
     
    This book provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism.

    Mike Perry’s extraordinary and thoughtful account of meeting the people of his small hometown by joining the fire and rescue team was a breakout hit that “swells with unadorned heroism” (USA Today) 
    Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin (population: 485) where the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Michael Perry loves this place. He grew up here, and now-after a decade away-he has returned. 
    Unable to polka or repair his own pickup, his farm-boy hands gone soft after years of writing, Mike figures the best way to regain his credibility is to join the volunteer fire department. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, he tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy.  
    Tracing his calls on a map in the little firehouse, he sees “a dense, benevolent web, spun one frantic zigzag at a time” from which the story of a tiny town emerges.
