The Art of Cigar Band

Philippe Mesmer

Sinopse

Cigar-bands have sdorned cigars for more than 150 years. Until World War I they were produced and printed to the hightest quality using the best methods available, with the result that many cigar-bands of the time are genuine works of art. Images depicted on the bands are varied, but specific themes may be distinguished – flowers and foliage, for example, or heraldic ‘charges’, or of course portraits of contemporary rulers and celebrities. This book features nearly 1,800 cigar-bands drawn from the collection of Roger van Reeth, including some of the most beautiful, some of the rarest and some of the oldest. Their presence adds something special to what is already a special publication: the Flavour, perhaps, of a superb Havana cigar.

Breaking the Cycle of Silence -...

Daniel L. Pearse

Breaking the Cycle of Silence is an introduction into child sexual abuse and child sexual abuse prevention. The latest statistics tell us that one out of three girls and one out of six boys will be sexually abused before the age of eighteen, destroying their lives in ways we can't even imagine. We also know that 90 percent of the time victims know their abuser.  
     Daniel Pearse is living proof of both these statistics. He and his brother were sent to live with a pedophile after their mother died. For nine years, Daniel suffered sexual, physical, emotional, mental and verbal abuse at the hands of his tormentor.  
Like many abused children, Daniel then suffered in silence for decades as an adult. Now he's committed to stopping the cycle of abuse that causes so much pain. 
     Breaking the Cycle of Silence recounts Daniels harrowing story, gives his opinions on how to eliminate child sexual abuse, offers introductory educational  resources for the prevention of child sexual abuse. How to recognize child sexual abuse, disclosure and support for victims of child sexual abuse.  
     Breaking the Cycle of Silence proposes age-appropriate child sexual abuse prevention training and education in schools. It teaches children what is appropriate, shows adults the signs of abuse to look for, and offers sources for support for victims. With such training and education, we can identify and stop abusers, preventing them from claiming victim after victim for years.
