Download or read book Dare to be as Different as the Colors in a Rainbow written by Bernice J Martin and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 11-19-2020 version People everywhere enjoy seeing rainbows arched over the sky and the seas. They bring a sense of calmness and add beauty in the midst of storms. They symbolize a covenant made by God after the Great Flood. Additionally, there are legends that reveal that a pot of gold can be found at the end of every rainbow. Because people near and far can relate to rainbows, rainbows are referenced throughout this book to express the uniqueness of color. Dare to Be as Different as the Colors in a Rainbow is a book about the importance of respecting differences, regardless of skin color. There is a message in the book to help build self-esteem and self-worth. The analogies between colors in a rainbow, skin color, and apples are to convey a profound message of acceptance and tolerance of others who may look different, talk differently, and even think differently. Undeniable, the colors in a rainbow are different, beautiful, and unique. The same is true about the different skin colors of people. Each skin tone is uniquely beautiful. Conclusively, different skin shades of people make them just as special and as beautiful as the colors in a rainbow. This book is thought-provoking and one that helps remedy racism and draws attention to the blind spot biases, which are not as easy to recognize as racism. An added bonus to the book is that it has undertones of science and history concepts immersed throughout that will greatly benefit students in grades 3 to 12 by providing background knowledge, which transitions into discussions that are more productive in the learning environment. Concepts as the colors of the electromagnetic spectrum, seasons, and the civil war appear in the context of Dare to be as Different as the Colors in a Rainbow, along with other relevant topics, including poetry. 12

Download or read book Unweaving the Rainbow written by Richard Dawkins and published by HMH. This book was released on 2000-04-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times–bestselling author of Science in the Soul. “If any recent writing about science is poetic, it is this” (The Wall Street Journal). Did Sir Isaac Newton “unweave the rainbow” by reducing it to its prismatic colors, as John Keats contended? Did he, in other words, diminish beauty? Far from it, says acclaimed scientist Richard Dawkins; Newton’s unweaving is the key too much of modern astronomy and to the breathtaking poetry of modern cosmology. Mysteries don’t lose their poetry because they are solved: the solution often is more beautiful than the puzzle, uncovering deeper mysteries. With the wit, insight, and spellbinding prose that have made him a bestselling author, Dawkins takes up the most important and compelling topics in modern science, from astronomy and genetics to language and virtual reality, combining them in a landmark statement of the human appetite for wonder. This is the book Dawkins was meant to write: A brilliant assessment of what science is (and isn’t), a tribute to science not because it is useful but because it is uplifting. “A love letter to science, an attempt to counter the perception that science is cold and devoid of aesthetic sensibility . . . Rich with metaphor, passionate arguments, wry humor, colorful examples, and unexpected connections, Dawkins’ prose can be mesmerizing.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Brilliance and wit.” —The New Yorker
