Download or read book We Visit Puerto Rico written by John Torres and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pristine beaches, limestone mountains, and a tropical rain forest are some of the scenic wonders that make Puerto Rico a modern paradise. Unlike other Latin American places to visit and explore, however, Puerto Rico is a part of the United States, and the people who live there are U.S. citizens. Puerto Rican history dates back to ancient cultures established long before Christopher Columbus explored the island in 1493. Later, these cultures gave way to the influence of Spanish settlers and Africans brought over as slaves. Reminders of all those cultures, such as impressive forts and soaring cathedrals, can still be seen in some of the island’s cities and sampled in its spicy cuisine. Come along and learn about the wildlife of El Yunque, the battles of El Morro, and the people who popularized salsa music. Discover some of the most influential people with Puerto Rican roots, including baseball hall-of-famer Roberto Clemente, actress Rita Moreno, and entertainer Jennifer Lopez. Then make a tasty treat of coconut kisses and a mask to celebrate Carnival as souvenirs of your visit to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Download or read book The Hidden Powers of Ritual written by Bradd Shore and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating overview of the development, benefits, and importance of ritual in everyday life, written by a leading cognitive anthropologist. The Hidden Powers of Ritual is an engaging introduction to ritual studies that presents ritual as an evolved form of human behavior of almost unimaginable significance to our species. Every day across the globe, people gather to share meals, brew caffeinated beverages, or honor their ancestors. In this book, Bradd Shore, a respected anthropologist, reaches beyond familiar “big-R” rituals to present life’s humbler, overshadowed moments, exploring everything from the Balinese pelebon to baseball to family Zoom sessions in the age of Covid to the sobering reenactment rituals surrounding the Moore’s Ford lynchings. In each ritual, Shore shows how our capacity to ritualize behavior is a remarkable part of the human story. Encompassing both the commonly unlabeled “interaction rituals” studied by sociologists and the symbolically elaborated sacred rituals of religious studies, Shore organizes his conception around detailed case studies drawn from international research and personal experience, weaving scholarship with a memoir of a life encompassed by ritual. A probing exploration that matches breadth with accessibility, The Hidden Powers of Ritual is a provocative contribution to ritual theory that will appeal to a wide range of readers curious about why these unique repetitive acts matter in our lives.
Download or read book HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS and Much More written by Pat Morrell-Donnelly and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS and Much More” is Pat Morrell-Donnelly’s tenth (10th) book to publish. It has been said “Don’t look back if you don’t want to go that way.” This is true when looking back at mistakes and challenges one has faced. But sometimes it is good to reflect on the past particularly regarding special holidays, events and happy times. “Precious memories how they linger.” It is sometimes helpful to reminisce and remember loved ones and friends, many of whom are no longer with us. Recalling special Christmas’s, Thanksgiving dinners and get-together's with family and friends can be good for the soul. Nostalgia 2 point O. It is good to spend a few moments in thought regarding these joy-filled celebrations, special times and memorable events spent with loved ones. “HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS and Much More” speaks to just those things, those celebrations and events so precious to recall. This book contains 200 poems Pat has written through the eighties, nineties, two thousand and on about different holidays and celebrations. After some of the sets of poems there are pictures depicting the occasion, and pictures of Pat’s table settings representing each holiday or event. Some poems also convey what was going on in the country, to some extent, particularly the years about which her poem was written. Also some poems tell about what was going on in Pat’s life at that particular time. To find all of the New Year’s poems in one place, covering so much of the past history, is quite unusual and unique. Pat’s first book to publish “The Climb Up Life’s Mountain” was published in 2009 when Pat was eighty years of age. Her ninth book “All About Love” was published July 2023. Pat published her first nine books in fifteen years. Pat has written over eighteen (1800) hundred poems. Pat shares many of her life’s experiences through her poetry. Thoughts wake her up in the night and she scribbles those thoughts, or poem, on a note pad deciphering the next morning. She has written many poems while under the hair dryer. Pat’s aim is to get her poems out of her computer into books so they will not be lost forever when she is no longer here. At age ninety-four only the Good Lord knows when the final page of her “Life’s Book” will be written and finished. Pat is thankful for the “gift” God has given her to write poetry. If it lifts some ones spirit, or takes them away for a few minutes from worldly cares, it will have been worth her time publishing this book.
