Download or read book Sacra Gaea written by Michael Carroll-Smith and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this small book the voice of Sacred Mother Earth - Sacra Gaea - is heard with a plea for humanity. A reckoning is coming, she warns, but there is still time to change. Hers is a motherly voice, sometimes stern, sometimes loving, but always intent on warning her errant human children that their actions have consequences. Sacra Gaea reminds us that we are but one small piece of a much larger puzzle, and that we are subject to the Wisdom and justice of the universe. We can only continue on our destructive path for a limited time before natural laws restore harmony.
Download or read book An Echo From Gaea written by Aicha Fousshi Fischel and published by Book Venture Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2019-08-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were bred as hybrids in an advanced futuristic parallel world countless light years away from Gaea, somewhere within the maze of the universe. Radan, Motaro, Falbala, along with their families, were sent to earth by their breeders for an experimental purpose during medieval times in Europe. The hybrids with mythological looks, gifted supernatural abilities, and wide genetic memories were wrongly taken for demons and evil creatures as they made contact with humans. They sought friendship and found home with a shaman’s three children and bonded together with them. Following a couple of mysteriously tragic events, and after he saved the village from a ravaging fast acting disease, Radan was determined to override his breeder’s plan and make Gaea his forever home, choosing to stay by Ara’s side (the shaman’s older daughter).
Download or read book Historical Thinking written by Sam Wineburg and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ancient times, the pundits have lamented young people's lack of historical knowledge and warned that ignorance of the past surely condemns humanity to repeating its mistakes. In the contemporary United States, this dire outlook drives a contentious debate about what key events, nations, and people are essential for history students. Sam Wineburg says that we are asking the wrong questions. This book demolishes the conventional notion that there is one true history and one best way to teach it. Although most of us think of history -- and learn it -- as a conglomeration of facts, dates, and key figures, for professional historians it is a way of knowing, a method for developing and understanding about the relationships of peoples and events in the past. A cognitive psychologist, Wineburg has been engaged in studying what is intrinsic to historical thinking, how it might be taught, and why most students still adhere to the one damned thing after another concept of history. Whether he is comparing how students and historians interpret documentary evidence or analyzing children's drawings, Wineburg's essays offer rough maps of how ordinary people think about the past and use it to understand the present. Arguing that we all absorb lessons about history in many settings -- in kitchen table conversations, at the movies, or on the world-wide web, for instance -- these essays acknowledge the role of collective memory in filtering what we learn in school and shaping our historical thinking.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Greek Religion written by Esther Eidinow and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2015 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook offers both students and teachers of ancient Greek religion a comprehensive overview of the current state of scholarship in the subject, from the Archaic to the Hellenistic periods. It not only presents key information, but also explores the ways in which such information is gathered and the different approaches that have shaped the area. In doing so, the volume provides a crucial research and orientation tool for students of the ancient world, and also makes a vital contribution to the key debates surrounding the conceptualization of ancient Greek religion. The handbook's initial chapters lay out the key dimensions of ancient Greek religion, approaches to evidence, and the representations of myths. The following chapters discuss the continuities and differences between religious practices in different cultures, including Egypt, the Near East, the Black Sea, and Bactria and India. The range of contributions emphasizes the diversity of relationships between mortals and the supernatural - in all their manifestations, across, between, and beyond ancient Greek cultures - and draws attention to religious activities as dynamic, highlighting how they changed over time, place, and context.

Download or read book Toshiko Takaezu written by Ai Fukunaga and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive look at the multifaceted American artist Toshiko Takaezu within the history of postwar artmaking Toshiko Takaezu (1922-2011) was an American artist whose multidisciplinary work in ceramics, painting, sculpture, weaving, and installation innovatively drew from the natural world, combining expressionist energies with influences from East Asia. The closed ceramic forms for which she is best known are effectively abstract paintings in the round. Her reputation as a ceramic artist, however, has obscured the breadth of her output in other mediums and her role within the larger art movements of the twentieth century. This book provides the first retrospective assessment of Takaezu's art and life, representing her diverse oeuvre, which spanned six decades, and her hybrid identity as an Asian American woman, artist, and teacher. This ambitious volume features essays exploring Takaezu's biography, her background as a Hawai'i-born artist of Okinawan heritage, the relationship between her abstract work and that of her contemporaries, the role of cultural exchange in her art, her impact as an educator, and more. Beautifully illustrated with nearly 300 images of artworks and archival photographs, and including an updated chronology, exhibition history, and recollections from the artist's former apprentices, the book offers a compelling and comprehensive account of this singular artist's career.
