Book excerpt: The Coranians have won the war, and Kymru is defeated. For Havgan, however, the victory is not complete. Cadair Idris, the hall of the High Kings, remains closed to him. To gain entrance, he must locate the Four Treasures—the Stone, the Spear, the Cauldron, and the Sword—and bring them to the Guardian of the Doors. Only then can he proclaim himself High King of Kymru. But the Treasures were hidden long ago. In order to save Kymru, Gwydion the Dreamer must locate a long-forgotten song and the clues it contains before Havgan does. Following the dictates of the song, he persuades Rhiannon, her daughter Gwenhwyvar, and his nephew Arthur to set out with him on the dangerous quest. Dogged by Havgan's soldiers, they must hurry to find the artifacts. Soon, distrust and fear complicate their already difficult journey, and one of them must risk life and limb on the next move in their deadly game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking examination of death, dying, and the afterlife Prominent scholars present their most recent work about mortuary rituals, grief and mourning, genocide, cyclical processes of life and death, biomedical developments, and the materiality of human corpses in this unique and illuminating book. Interrogating our most common practices surrounding death, the authors ask such questions as: How does the state wrest away control over the dead from bereaved relatives? Why do many mourners refuse to cut their emotional ties to the dead and nurture lasting bonds? Is death a final condition or can human remains acquire agency? The book is a refreshing reassessment of these issues and practices, a source of theoretical inspiration in the study of death. With contributions written by an international team of experts in their fields, A Companion to the Anthropology of Death is presented in six parts and covers such subjects as: Governing the Dead in Guatemala; After Death Communications (ADCs) in North America; Cryonic Suspension in the Secular Age; Blood and Organ Donation in China; The Fragility of Biomedicine; and more.

Download or read book The Crying Book written by Heather Christle and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bestselling "lyrical, moving book: part essay, part memoir, part surprising cultural study" is an examination of why we cry, how we cry, and what it means to cry from a woman on the cusp of motherhood confronting her own depression (The New York Times Book Review). Heather Christle has just lost a dear friend to suicide and now must reckon with her own depression and the birth of her first child. As she faces her grief and impending parenthood, she decides to research the act of crying: what it is and why people do it, even if they rarely talk about it. Along the way, she discovers an artist who designed a frozen–tear–shooting gun and a moth that feeds on the tears of other animals. She researches tear–collecting devices (lachrymatories) and explores the role white women’s tears play in racist violence. Honest, intelligent, rapturous, and surprising, Christle’s investigations look through a mosaic of science, history, and her own lived experience to find new ways of understanding life, loss, and mental illness. The Crying Book is a deeply personal tribute to the fascinating strangeness of tears and the unexpected resilience of joy.

Download or read book Crying Spells written by Bethany Moore and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Crying Spells" is Bethany Moore's fourth self-published work of poetry, following her previous work's themes of self-discovery, spirituality, searching, and coming to terms with those darkest nights of the soul. Poems follow the artist through her twenties and early thirties as she dissects and digests the struggles of coming of age and sorting out one's boundaries, limitations, as well as developing and establishing one's true values and morals. Reviews:"When I read Bethany's prior collection of poetry, Weather Magick, I was impressed, sure that future works from this author would continue to be on par with her previous work. However, Crying Spells is actually a notable departure from Moore's prior work, in that it is extremely comfortable within its own established voice, allowing the words to take ownership over their author's unique tone and style, while expanding upon the format as a whole to create something that is both confident and questioning -- this is extremely rare for such an early entry to a volume of creative writing. Crying Spells is not just another book of poetry, but a milestone for an author who could have easily become lost in the sea of her colleagues, and instead, chose to create her own lane that is both respectful to form and completely independent of it, a feat that many writers never achieve. Bethany Moore's poetry has, within just a few years, evolved from extremely enjoyable, to flat-out undeniable." - Ray McMillin, Cherry City Studios"Bethany Moore is on fire. The poems in Crying Spells have such a sense of urgency that I sat down to read a few and found myself reading the book cover to cover in one sitting. Moore's poems are at once assertive and compassionate, and as real as they are full of magic. This collection of poems, spanning over a decade of the poet's life seem meant for each other. A collection not just of words or ideas, but a large cumulative story of the foundation of bone, the vulnerability of blood and the inevitability of sorrow and how we all face these things." - Brice Maiurro, Editor, South Broadway Ghost Society"These pieces are clear-sighted and smoothly-flowing, looking at everything, feelings, subjects, and objections without too much complication, and the book reads quickly and smoothly because of that talent without missing any of the hot-hearted pains and points. Moore's words have a sense of clarity, like raindrops swirling on your windshield in a rainstorm, or sparks from an eager campfire on a dark winter's night when your heart starts knocking. Moore's work has a rare hospitality." - Zack Kopp, Fire Diner
