Sinossi

World Festivals explores the fascinating world of cultural celebrations and global traditions, highlighting the profound impact of these events on communities worldwide. Festivals are not just about having fun; they are critical to cultural heritage, reinforcing cultural identity and preserving collective memory. Readers will discover how festivals often originate from agricultural cycles, religious observances, or historical events, evolving over centuries to reflect changing societal values. This book offers a unique lens through which to view world history and understand the social impact of shared rituals.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with the historical origins of festivals and moving into specific categories like harvest festivals and religious celebrations. It then examines the social impact of festivals, including their role in community building and tourism. What sets this book apart is its global perspective, drawing on historical texts, ethnographic studies, and firsthand accounts to compare and contrast festivals across different cultures.

 
Ultimately, World Festivals argues that these celebrations are vital expressions of human culture, fostering empathy and promoting cross-cultural understanding in an increasingly interconnected world.

    Slumdog Millionaire meets Forrest Gump 
    In 2018, under a full moon in the remote Mantiqueira mountain range in Brazil, a sickly stray dog chose to follow a runner during the Brazil 135 ultramarathon. He stayed by his side for 140 miles. 
    Fast forward to 2021, when Lucky the stray, now living the life in Florida, set off with his ultrarunner soulmate, David Green, on the journey of their lives — a four-month run covering 3,400 miles from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to Muir Beach, California. Their route took them through a nation ravaged by Covid-19 and still reeling from the most toxic presidential election in history. An RV became their nightly retreat-on-wheels, captained by Chris, an affable chef from Brooklyn, who would provide so much more than food. 
    This is David’s honest account, his love letter to Lucky, after three short years together, during which time they inspired each other to break barriers of what is thought possible for dogs and humans -- physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

    From Dr. Kwane Stewart, CNN's Hero of the Year for 2023. 
    Mountains Beyond Mountains meets Tattoos On the Heart in this unforgettable, powerful, and stunningly-told memoir of a struggling veterinarian saving animals and humans on the streets of California - and how he discovered what bonds all living creatures.  
    Dr. Kwane Stewart was questioning his career as a veterinarian when he saw a homeless man with a flea-infested dog outside of a convenience store. In a moment of spontaneous generosity, he offered to examine the dog and treat him for free. It was the first step in a now nine-year journey that has taken Dr. Kwane from Skid Row to San Francisco and beyond to care for pets and their humans who are living on the streets. 
    In What It Takes to Save a Life, Dr. Kwane shows how our four-legged, feathered, scaled, and swimming family members—these dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other animals that live side by side with us—provide more than companionship. They offer essential love, hope, and a sense of security. 
    Written with striking honesty and rich detail, Dr. Kwane looks back on his childhood, how he discovered his appreciation for animals and his calling, and offers a frank assessment of the state of veterinary medicine today, where compassion fatigue, burnout, and suicide are facts of life. Full of warm and inspiring stories of human-animal relationships, this powerful and eye-opening book is a reminder that we are all members of a wider family. It is also a clarion call for each of us to help those in need—especially our most vulnerable brothers and sisters—and the animals who are their families. Wise and warm, Dr. Stewart's story is a reminder that one life can make an immeasurable difference.
