Beschreibung

"Value of Button" unveils the remarkable story of how a humble fastening device shaped human civilization across millennia, influencing everything from social hierarchies to global commerce.

 
This comprehensive exploration traces the button's evolution from its origins in ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley and Bronze Age China to its pivotal role in the Industrial Revolution and modern fashion. Through meticulous research drawing from archaeological findings, textile archives, and anthropological studies, the book reveals how buttons transcended their basic function to become powerful symbols of status and catalysts for social change.

 
The narrative unfolds across three major themes: technological development, cultural significance, and economic impact. Readers discover fascinating insights about how buttons served as currency in some societies and social markers in others, before mass production democratized their use and transformed clothing design.

 
The book's multidisciplinary approach weaves together material culture, economic history, and fashion archaeology, presenting complex concepts in accessible language while maintaining scholarly rigor. What makes this work particularly valuable is its ability to demonstrate how seemingly minor innovations can drive profound societal changes.

 
By examining button usage from 3000 BCE to the present day, with special attention to transformative periods, the book illuminates the intricate relationships between technological advancement, social equality, and human expression. The analysis is enriched by historical anecdotes and case studies, making it relevant for academics, design professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how everyday objects shape our world.

    Culture and society are deeply interconnected, shaping human behavior, beliefs, and institutions. Culture encompasses the shared practices, values, symbols, and artifacts that define a group of people, while society refers to the structured interactions and relationships within a community or nation. Culture provides the foundation for social norms, influencing everything from language and customs to laws and moral expectations. At the same time, society determines how culture is transmitted, adapted, and reinforced through institutions such as family, education, and government. 
    One of the key aspects of culture is its learned nature. Unlike biological traits, cultural knowledge is passed down through generations via socialization. From early childhood, individuals absorb cultural norms through interactions with family, peers, and media. These shared understandings create a sense of belonging and cohesion within a group. However, culture is not static; it evolves over time as societies encounter new ideas, technologies, and challenges. The dynamic nature of culture ensures that it remains relevant to the needs and values of the people who uphold it.

    «Una autobiografía perturbadora e inolvidable [...] Esta desgarradora historia narra la lucha a la que se enfrentan muchas familias que son separadas en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México». —Publisher's Weekly  
    «La inquietante y elocuente historia de una guatemalteca en búsqueda de una vida mejor». —Kirkus  
    «Un libro profundamente conmovedor e importante […] que debería ser leído por todo aquel que se considere estadounidense. Por todo ciudadano del mundo». —John Perkins, autor de Confessions of an Economic Hitman y Touching the Jaguar 
     
    Una historia conmovedora sobre dos madres marcadas por la crisis migratoria: una guatemalteca que ha sido separada de sus hijos y la estadounidense que la ayuda a reunirse con su familia. 
    Cuando Rosayra Pablo Cruz tomó la desgarradora decisión de buscar asilo en Estados Unidos con sus dos hijos, Fernando, de cinco años y Yordy, de quince, sabía que la travesía sería difícil, peligrosa y probablemente mortal. Pero la violencia rampante en Guatemala era insostenible; Rosy sabía que su familia sólo sobreviviría si migraba al norte. 
    Tras un peligroso viaje que los deja deshidratados, hambrientos y exhaustos, Rosy, Fernando y Yordy logran llegar a Arizona. Pero casi inmediatamente son separados a la fuerza por los oficiales gubernamentales del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional bajo la política «tolerancia cero». 
    Rosy y Julie Schwietert Collazo, la fundadora de Immigrant Families Together (Familias Inmigrantes Juntas), la organización comunitaria creada para reunir a madres con sus hijos, cuentan su historia y desvelan las crueles condiciones de los centros de detención, la insoportable ansiedad que padeció Rosy al ser separada de sus hijos y cómo la Fe y el amor la ayudaron a sobrellevar sus momentos más oscuros. 
    Un retrato insólito y cautivante de las consecuencias que las políticas inhumanas infligen sobre los inmigrantes que cruzan la frontera estadounidense y de los lazos inquebrantables de la familia, la Fe y la comunidad. 
    ROSAYRA PABLO CRUZ es la madre de cuatro hijos. Fue dueña de una pequeña tienda de ropa en Guatemala antes de llegar a Estados Unidos. En la actualidad, vive en Nueva York, es copresidenta de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros de su hijo mayor y miembro activo de su comunidad e iglesia.  
    JULIE SCHWIETERT COLLAZO es escritora, editora, traductora bilingüe (inglés-español) y exterapeuta de artes creativas. Ha escrito para varios medios y es coautora de un libro sobre el Papa Francisco que ha sido traducido a más de una docena de idiomas. Vive en Nueva York.

    Yes or No? 
    Have you ever been stuck in the past? Running around and around only to find that you are right where you were in the beginning? 
    Have you ever fought so hard to break free only to be dragged back in? Ever felt like you couldn't be loved? Couldn't be cherished? 
    Have you ever hurt so much to the point where you were bleeding and crying, but numb at the same time? 
    That you were worthless and nothing, but refused to give up? 
    Did you answer yes? 
    Then come find the way out with Ashton, a renowned neurosurgeon, who was kidnapped, raped, beaten, and forced to kill. Only to find she couldn't escape. Until she fell in love with an angel. 
    Demons—the most dangerous creatures, and Angels—the purest of all beings. For Ashton Lure, a renowned neurosurgeon, these beings only existed in mythological stories. Or so she thought... And, when she found herself in the Demon Realm, she could only wonder, can I truly be free from him? 
    The demons weren't all bad, and the angels weren’t all pure, and somehow, they became a family—something Ashton had missed all her life. But just when she thought she could live without her painful nightmares, the dark past she tried to hide got in the way, threatening to leave her in ruins yet again.
