Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh brings to life debut author Gloria Amescua's lyrical biography of an indigenous Nahua woman from Mexico who taught and preserved her people's culture through modeling for famous artists She was Luz Jiménez, child of the flower-song people, the powerful Aztec, who called themselves Nahua— who lost their land but who did not disappear. As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned how to grind corn in a metate, to twist yarn with her toes, and to weave on a loom. By the fire at night, she listened to stories of her community’s joys, suffering, and survival, and wove them into her heart. But when the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee and start a new life. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers such as Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, and Tina Modotti. These artists were interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Through her work, Luz found a way to preserve her people's culture by sharing her native language, stories, and traditions. Soon, scholars came to learn from her. This moving, beautifully illustrated biography tells the remarkable story of how model and teacher Luz Jiménez became “the soul of Mexico”—a living link between the indigenous Nahua and the rest of the world. Through her deep pride in her roots and her unshakeable spirit, the world came to recognize the beauty and strength of her people. The book includes an author’s note, timeline, glossary, and bibliography.

Download or read book Plant Kin written by Theresa L. Miller and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indigenous Canela inhabit a vibrant multispecies community of nearly 3,000 people and over 300 types of cultivated and wild plants living together in Maranhão State in the Brazilian Cerrado (savannah), a biome threatened with deforestation and climate change. In the face of these environmental threats, Canela women and men work to maintain riverbank and forest gardens and care for their growing crops, whom they consider to be, literally, children. This nurturing, loving relationship between people and plants—which offers a thought-provoking model for supporting multispecies survival and well-being throughout the world—is the focus of Plant Kin. Theresa L. Miller shows how kinship develops between Canela people and plants through intimate, multi-sensory, and embodied relationships. Using an approach she calls “sensory ethnobotany,” Miller explores the Canela bio-sociocultural life-world, including Canela landscape aesthetics, ethnobotanical classification, mythical storytelling, historical and modern-day gardening practices, transmission of ecological knowledge through an education of affection for plant kin, shamanic engagements with plant friends and lovers, and myriad other human-nonhuman experiences. This multispecies ethnography reveals the transformations of Canela human-environment and human-plant engagements over the past two centuries and envisions possible futures for this Indigenous multispecies community as it reckons with the rapid environmental and climatic changes facing the Brazilian Cerrado as the Anthropocene epoch unfolds.

She includes more than 40 simple, practical exercises and meditations to guide you on a heart-centered journey of transformation and commune with the environment, the seasons, the cycles of the moon, and the Earth Heart.

Guided meditations and shamanic journeys enable a deeper exploration and interaction with the spirit of plants for healing and support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beauty of nature surrounds us, but its beauty is often wasted as we rush through lives filled with work, family, and other responsibilities. What if we were to slow down for a moment and take a look around? What would we notice; what would we learn? Surely, more than we could have imagined. Poet Ajit Sripad Rao Nalkur admires the wilderness around him, while living in southern India. His words bridge the gap between the human world and the world of nature, where small details speak volumes and inspire peace. He writes not only of natures majesty but also of our connection to ita connection we can choose to ignore or embrace. In this collection, an artist seeks and waits for his muse. Little things bring great joy, like a single wildflower or the serene power of silence. Nalkurs words reach beyond the page and into the readers innermost being, challenging each of us to emotionally connect with nature. These poems remind us all to slow down and admire the miracle that is life on Earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She is a serious poet who is writing with wit, dedication and thoughtfulness. I admire greatly her wonderful skills with language, dance and culture. She in-deed brings many things of beauty to the world and that is everyones good fortune. - Laurie Ramey. Poet, Professor and Center for Contemporary Poetry and Poetics Director, Cal State Los Angeles. With lyricism and a chord of ontological idealism, the book, A Multicultural Song that I Sing Alone releases the hopeful poetry drastically to the readers of the world with all kinds of enthusiasms and dreams, not only affecting and encour-aging but also securing endless beauty. In her writing, she absorbs many artistic facts and expresses into her poetic field ambitiously and positively with a refined mind, a pure image and sincere language. - Tae Ho Kim, Literature Critic, from his Critical Essays In here, I spread the seeds of multicultural love, peace, dance and songs. From Asia to the whole world, from the origin of human history to today, from little things to great things, visible, and invisible, looking for the gold vein of under-ground in languages, picking well ripened fruits, living as a fisherman on this land is very fun. Multiculturalism might be the ideal of human pursuits, as hu-mans are not just single celled and have not just one sense of taste. Autumn times come down slightly, seducing the green climax of summer and color of nature. The sky gets dark. Maybe the weather will change. - Poets Epilogue
