Download or read book Favored Flowers written by Catherine Ziegler and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-10 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billions of fresh-cut flowers are flown into the United States every year, allowing Americans to choose from a broad array of blooms regardless of the season. Favored Flowers is a lively investigation of the worldwide production and distribution of fresh-cut flowers and their consumption in the New York metropolitan area. In an ethnography filled with roses, orchids, and gerberas, flower auctions, new hybrids, and new logistical systems, Catherine Ziegler unravels the economic and cultural strands of the global flower market. She provides an historical overview of the development of the cut flower industry in New York from the late nineteenth century to 1970, and on to its ultimate transformation from a domestic to a global industry. As she points out, cut flowers serve no utilitarian purpose; rather, they signal consumers’ social and cultural decisions about expressing love, mourning, status, and identity. Ziegler shows how consumer behavior and choices have changed over time and how they are shaped by the media, by the types of available flowers, and by flower retailing. Ziegler interviewed more than 250 people as she followed flowers along the full length of the commodity chain, from cuttings in Europe and Latin America to vases in and around New York. She examines the daily experiences of flower growers in the Netherlands and Ecuador, two leading exporters of flowers to the United States. Primary focus, though, is on others in the commodity chain: exporters, importers, wholesalers, and retailers. She follows their activities as they respond to changing competition, supply, and consumer behavior in a market characterized by risk, volatility, and imperfect knowledge. By tracing changes in the wholesale and retail systems, she shows the recent development of two complementary commodity chains in New York and the United States generally. One leads to a high-end luxury market served by specialty florists and designers, and the other to a lower-priced mass market served by chain groceries, corner delis, and retail superstores.

Download or read book Flying Flowers written by Rick Sammon and published by Welcome Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying Flowers is an exquisite collection of intimate and up-close images of living butterflies by renowned nature photographer Rick Sammon. A mediation and celebration of one of nature's most beautiful creatures, Flying Flowers takes the reader on a visual journey into the miracle of transformation. The butterfly, with its amazing metamorphosis from a crawling caterpillar into a vivid and graceful winged creature, symbolizes the infinite potential within every living creature to evolve: from darkness into light, ugliness into beauty, lethargy into activity. The life of a butterfly is a coming of age story in the most profound sense. As such an exotic metaphor for transcendence and renewal, the butterfly has been celebrated in art, literature, dance, fashion, myth, and spirituality throughout history and in cultures around the world.Using groundbreaking digital photography, Sammon offers us a new view of these delicate insects in their natural habitat. "The ability to see every shot immediately on my camera's LCD monitor allowed me to make critical exposure and lighting adjustments on site," explains Sammon. "That was of the utmost importance, due to subject movement, changing lighting conditions and the reflectivity of some of the butterflies."The result of over a year's work on the subject, these luminous portraits come together in Flying Flowers like a Technicolor bouquet. From Mourning Cloaks to Hummingbird Moths, dozens of species are represented and identified with brief informational captions. Photographed in extreme close-up and stunning detail during all stages of life-emerging from the cocoon, taking flight, migrating in mass, or simply perched momentarily on a bloom or branch-Sammon's butterflies flutter across the page in a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of wings eyes, legs, and antennae.

Book excerpt: Pitch dark… You can’t see your hand in front of your face. You don’t see anything... When you don’t see, you don’t know, you aren’t known. Something like nothingness... But suddenly, as if you’ve pushed a button, everything becomes illuminated, visible, known... What a beautiful thing it is to exist. Living is a beautiful thing indeed. Life is the button of that light. Our Lord gave us life while we were far from life and friends. He gave us both life and friends... What a beautiful thing life is... Whatever is beautiful, we know it through life; we taste it through life; we experience all the beauties of life. We also find ourselves with life. Life is such a beautiful thing... It’s beautiful like air, like breathing... It’s beautiful like feeling as if you’re drowning, surfacing quickly and taking a deep breath. We save ourselves from drowning with every breath. It would be so good if we could enjoy being kept alive with every breath... How to be grateful for living; how to pay for the blessing of life. Getting used to things makes us blind, we can no longer see. Although the blessing we take for granted is staring us in the face, we throw it into that pitch darkness. When you can’t see it as a blessing, you can’t be grateful... Is there a cure for habituation? Yes, there is. Let’s close our eyes for a few seconds. Let’s open our eyes as if we were using them for the first time after the darkness... What is it like to see, to be able to see? What would you miss if you didn’t see? You can apply such a method of ‘breaking habituation’ for every blessing you have received and everything you love. This is how you can tear the veil of habituation... As the poet says: “Living is such a beautiful thing By understanding, like a master, a book Like a love song Living in wonder like a child...” As we get used to something and take it for granted, the taste, meaning and beauty of seeing it for the first time disappears. We can tear the veil of habituation and renew the meaning of life in our minds by changing our perspective. There lies the taste of life… … Isn’t this important too? The perfect level of life is the life of heaven. Our most vital issue is to turn this world into heaven on the one hand, and to do things that will elevate our lives to heavenly life on the other hand. Man was created for happiness in two worlds... However, happiness on earth and happiness in heaven are not the same. Since opposites coexist in the world, it will be unrealistic to seek full happiness. However, man can find peace with a ‘faithful attitude’ among the waves, turmoil, changes and the hustle and bustle of the world. One should live life to the fullest... He should increase his good deeds. He should fill his life with beauty. Living is really beautiful if you live like this... One should not forget the one who gave this beautiful life. We should not forget that we have Lord, who loves us more than anything He created. He is the one who creates love, He is the one most worthy of being loved; we should not forget it... Flowers, roses, especially butterflies; the stars, the moons, the sun, the seasons... one should live by appreciating them. In other words, we should give them their due on behalf of Allah... Living is really beautiful when you live like that... Otherwise, you see that living has become a dungeon and something meaningless... … Inshallah, “Living is a Beautiful Thing” will touch hearts and lead people to good deeds... May Allah be with you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "utterly spectacular" book weighs the impact modern medical technology has had on the author's life against the social and environmental costs inevitably incurred by the mining that makes such innovation possible (Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises). What if a lifesaving medical device causes loss of life along its supply chain? That's the question Katherine E. Standefer finds herself asking one night after being suddenly shocked by her implanted cardiac defibrillator. In this gripping, intimate memoir about health, illness, and the invisible reverberating effects of our medical system, Standefer recounts the astonishing true story of the rare diagnosis that upended her rugged life in the mountains of Wyoming and sent her tumbling into a fraught maze of cardiology units, dramatic surgeries, and slow, painful recoveries. As her life increasingly comes to revolve around the internal defibrillator freshly wired into her heart, she becomes consumed with questions about the supply chain that allows such an ostensibly miraculous device to exist. So she sets out to trace its materials back to their roots. From the sterile labs of a medical device manufacturer in southern California to the tantalum and tin mines seized by armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to a nickel and cobalt mine carved out of endemic Madagascar jungle, Lightning Flowers takes us on a global reckoning with the social and environmental costs of a technology that promises to be lifesaving but is, in fact, much more complicated. Deeply personal and sharply reported, Lightning Flowers takes a hard look at technological mythos, healthcare, and our cultural relationship to medical technology, raising important questions about our obligations to one another, and the cost of saving one life.
