Beschreibung

"Firework Festivals" dives deep into the captivating tradition of pyrotechnics, exploring why these dazzling displays hold such universal appeal. More than mere entertainment, fireworks serve as potent symbols of cultural identity, social meaning, and historical narratives. For instance, their origins trace back to ancient China where they were initially used in religious ceremonies. The book examines how these fiery celebrations evolved and spread across the globe, adapting to different cultures and becoming integral to events like Independence Day in the United States.

 
The book uniquely combines historical analysis with technical explanations and sociological insights. It begins by laying a historical foundation, then meticulously dissects firework production, covering everything from chemical composition to safety protocols. Finally, the book looks towards the future, addressing advancements in sustainable pyrotechnics and the integration of digital technologies.

 
The book argues that fireworks are not frivolous but "powerful cultural artifacts," connecting to history, chemistry, and sociology.

    These are called ''' Poems from the Chinese"" and we have Mr. Waley's assurance that there are in existence Oriental originals. But if it be so (and, of course it is) then we have here a literary miracle. It is a platitude that translation of poetry is either bad verse or bad translation. But Mr. Waley, translating not merely from one language into another, but almost from one planet into another, has produced a body of living poetry, in which there is every reason to believe he re-creates, without distorting, the Chinese poets. This is an unparalleled feat. But as we are, with about six exceptions in the whole of Great Britain, incapable of comparing the English and the Chinese, we must address ourselves to these poems as though they had been written by an Englishman of the twentieth century, and judge them on that basis. It is a severe test to apply to translations, but Mr. Waley emerges from it serenely victorious. Indeed, serenity is the keynote of all this work—the serenity of assured mastery in a difficult medium but still more of outlook. The beauty with which these poems are. inlaid is fundamentally a wise beauty and the wisdom is as much in the shape of Mr. Waley's mind as in that of China. There is no need to hurry here. Wisdom goes at an even pace, and has time between her penetrations of the stars to observe the smallest things of life. Her leisurely glance sweeps over them with patient gold, and they settle, almost without a sigh, into decoration and into pattern. We have lost {and the Chinese have lost) the secret of their enamels of the great periods. But Mr. Waley has private access to them, and his poems, varnished with just that cool and even certainty of paint and texture, achieve one filial translation— the translation of colour into speech. -- Humbert Wolfe.

    Written by Arthur Quinn 
    Read by Ed Quinn (with an introduction written and read by Julia Whelan) 
    The final book from esteemed Berkeley historian Arthur Quinn, Hell With the Fire Out is both a complex chronicle of a forgotten chapter in American Indian history and a vivid detailing of human foible, folly, and failure. With a novelistic flair, Quinn outlines the sad inevitability of America's westward expansion in its post-Civil War era. Wrangling all the inherent contradictions — Quaker Peace Policy vs Grant and Sherman's War Department; inter- and inner-tribal conflicts; the opposing attitudes of the region's White settlers — Quinn gives us a battle story not merely between nations and governments, but within the hearts of the very individuals at its center. 
    This is the first time an audio version of this book has been available and it is read by none other than the author's son, actor Ed Quinn (Two Broke Girls, One Day at a Time, Tyler Perry's The Oval).

    In a world often narrated by male voices, "Notable Women Through the Ages" emerges as a resonant chorus of female stories, echoing through the corridors of time.This book is not just a collection of biographies; it's an intricately woven tapestry of lives that have shaped history in unspoken ways. We embark on a journey that meanders through the annals of history, uncovering the stories of women whose names might not echo in the halls of fame but whose contributions have been pivotal in the grand scheme of things.The resilience that led to Hypatia of Alexandria with their brilliant minds who defied her time and to the persistence that enabled Joan of Arc to overcome her difficult path. In this regard it focuses on the scientific genius of Marie Curie and artistic superiority of Frida Kahlo making us remember that talent has no gender. Each chapter unfolds a fresh aspect of women’s courage from politicians as Indira Gandhi and Angela Merkel down to the women fighting for social justice such as Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafzai.The more we read, we are accompanied by other lesser-known tough women such as unheard NASA mathematicians, anonymous heroines of wars and quiet fighters for art and literature revolution. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is not just a mere chronicle of achievements, but also traces all hardships and personal sacrifice required to accomplish such milestones in the society.It goes beyond being just a book to read; it’s an experience. The story of great women is a reminder that the historic narrative would remain incomplete without making references to them. Their stories of passion, grit, and strength do not read like mere footnotes in a textbook. Rather, they burn bright enough to light the way for those who follow. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is a dedication, an inspiration, and a legacy of the courage of woman-hood.
