Book excerpt: Red is a brilliantly told, captivating history of red hair throughout the ages. A book that breaks new ground, dispels myths, and reinforces the special nature of being a redhead, with a look at multiple disciplines, including science, religion, politics, feminism and sexuality, literature, and art. With an obsessive fascination that is as contagious as it is compelling, author Jacky Colliss Harvey (herself a redhead) begins her exploration of red hair in prehistory and traces the redhead gene as it made its way out of Africa with the early human diaspora to its emergence under Northern skies. She goes on to explore red hair in the ancient world; the prejudice manifested against red hair across medieval Europe; red hair during the Renaissance as both an indicator of Jewishness during the Inquisition and the height of fashion in Protestant England, under the reign of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I; the modern age of art and literature, and the first positive symbols of red hair in children's characters; modern medicine and science and the genetic and chemical decoding of red hair; and finally, red hair in contemporary culture, from advertising and exploitation to "gingerism" and the new movement against bullying.

Download or read book The Warning of the Ravens written by Raquel Villaamil and published by Raquel Villaamil. This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brigit returns to her city of birth in search of the only family she has, her grandmother. Of the few memories she has left, little remains in the almost abandoned city of Ballymote. Its streets, houses and forests conceal mysteries which seem to go back in times when, from legends rose something very real, something monstrous. Ancestral confrontations, bitter rivalries and an uncertain future, where Brigit must find all the replies, look into her nightmares and discover the truth in a dark world which is no longer hers and is revealed within the shadows when the ravens warn. "Raquel Villaamil is able to actualize the Irish mythological legends in The Warning of the Ravens. The formidable beings and races from the manuscripts of the XI century "The Book of Invasions” have their parallel among the characters of the XXI century which inhabit these pages. A novel of mystery, fantasy and action which secrets plunged into millenary legends and now approach its outcome, where love and its pursuit transversely crossed the argument in order to end in an unexpected conclusion." “A book with gothic tinges and a touch of romanticism which catches you from the first page for its originality, its good narration, because Brigit is a very peculiar heroine and the rhythm is frenetic from the beginning. The warning of the ravens is one of the best Spanish novels of fantasy which I have read recently. If you like this gender, don’t miss out on it!”
