Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Sunday Times (UK) Book of the Year Shortlisted • Society of Authors' Somerset Maugham Award A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week The best-selling author of The Secret Lives of Color returns with this rollicking narrative of the 30,000-year history of fabric, briskly told through thirteen charismatic episodes. From colorful 30,000-year-old threads found on the floor of a Georgian cave to the Indian calicoes that sparked the Industrial Revolution, The Golden Thread weaves an illuminating story of human ingenuity. Design journalist Kassia St. Clair guides us through the technological advancements and cultural customs that would redefi ne human civilization—from the fabric that allowed mankind to achieve extraordinary things (traverse the oceans and shatter athletic records) and survive in unlikely places (outer space and the South Pole). She peoples her story with a motley cast of characters, including Xiling, the ancient Chinese empress credited with inventing silk, to Richard the Lionhearted and Bing Crosby. Offering insights into the economic and social dimensions of clothmaking—and countering the enduring, often demeaning, association of textiles as “merely women’s work”—The Golden Thread offers an alternative guide to our past, present, and future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a love story between a believer's heart and the great and loving heart of God. Journey with the author as God gradually wins her love and as He faithfully carries her through a long, dark valley of suffering to a place of peace, joy, and victory. Witness the powerful message of the cross at work in her life and find yourself drawn to the One who suffered and died on the cross for you.The background of this story offers a rare look at the inner workings of a controversial church in which the author was persecuted for her personal Christian beliefs. It depicts the gradual development of an environment of deception and provides insight into how people seeking God can be caught up in such groups. The lessons the author learned, the knowledge she gained about Christ and Him crucified, and the truth that set her free are invaluable.As God's purpose for her life begins to take shape and her tangled experiences begin to make sense, a beautiful part of God's masterpiece unfolds--one that God has skillfully and patiently crafted. You will realize that you, too, have a unique place and purpose in His universal tapestry, one He is waiting to show you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both children's literature and fantasy literature have become established as genre for critical study in recent years, especially in the United States. As one of the outstanding children's authors of the nineteenth century and a pioneer of fantasy writing, MacDonald has become the focus of increased attention. As an acknowledged influence on many authors who came after him--authors such as E. Nesbit, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and T. S. Eliot--MacDonald is one of the rare writers whose work is a starting point for evaluating the achievements of others. New forms of critical theory--Jungian, psychoanalytic, and feminist--turning towards the exploration of sexuality and the fantastic have also found fitting subjects in MacDonald's texts. This volume studies these developments and also the growing acknowledgment that MacDonald was a Scottish writer and a Victorian. His enduring works have been his children's books At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, and the fairy tales of The Golden Key. His two adult fantasy novels, Phantasties and Lilith, are now recognized as classics of their kind.

Book excerpt: In this, her second book, Catherine Black weaves together the wonder, heartache, and 'unlovely beauty' of a youth that is by turns charmed and disquieting. Straddling genres of memoir, prose, and poetry, A Hard Gold Thread delights in the layering of keenly observed moments, in the subtle play of remembering and forgetting, and in the shift in perspective brought to bear on memory as it is transmuted by time. Reverent, sensitively rendered, and sometimes tongue in cheek, A Hard Gold Thread is an unconventional memoir inviting the reader into a meditation on the engulfing beauty of the world and the compulsion to turn away from it.

This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein are two illustrated children’s stories, each with a moral, by Norman Macleod (1812 – 1872.) In THE GOLD THREAD "Prince Eric loses his way in the Hemlock Forest where a wicked robber king and his band of cutthroats and thieves live. The prince must learn the lessons of the Gold Thread if he is ever to return home to see his father, the good King Magnus, again. Through his failures and victories, he follows his gold thread through the forest. On his journey, he must turn aside temptation and enticements, of all kinds, and follow the Gold Thread whatever the danger. But what is the Gold Thread? Well you will have to download and read the story to find out! WEE DAVIE is a lovely story about how a child brought about an amazing change in the village into which he was born. He was the only child of William Thorburn, blacksmith, and of Jeanie, his wife. First, the “bonnie bairn” brought a change to his father and later to his mother as well. In time, his goodness and influence spread to his neighbours and then into the village itself. Yet, Wee Davie, the name by which he had been known since birth remained with him as he grew older. He had a knack for reconciling the village Tories and the more “radical elements” in the village whom it seemed had been at loggerheads ever since politics had been invented. Unexpectedly, one day “wee Davie” became ill and he began to refuse his food. His parents sat with him and nursed him day and night. “What ails Willie?” was the question villagers asked, to which no reply could be given. Not even the Doctor could save him and one beautiful morning in spring, with a bright blue sky, living air, springing grass, and singing birds, Wee Davie left our world. His passing left a large void in the fabric of village society and for years to come he was spoken about with love and affection. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ================== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Wee Davie, Gold Thread, Prince Eric, Hemlock Forest, wicked, robber king, cutthroats, thieves, return home, father, king, temptation, enticement, follow, William, Thorburn, Jeanie, curly blond, bonnie bairn, Scottish, Scotland, village, happiness, love, love, tolerance, forgiveness, understanding, influence, goodness, passing,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is the most important commodity on Earth, we live by it and we die by it, it gives order to our lives and we control all of our modern society using time and its modern instruments. We think we have mastered time, what if we are wrong?We are told in the Bible in Genesis 1 verse 14, that our ancestors measured time by the stars and moon and we are told by evolutionists that ancient people used basic astronomy to achieve a crude understanding of time.What if the war between science and religion has psychologically obscured an obvious and indisputable fact from us all?If our ancestors could measure time accurately, then all our science and technical achievements would have been inherited in a tree of knowledge that brought us to where we are today.What if the Church in its desperate struggle to keep a profitable business alive and functioning has created such division over the ages that we do not understand the simple messages left by our ancestors on the real nature of time.What if both church and crown in their pact to rule Europe, obscured a scientific system inherited from Palaeolithic and Neolithic sea faring hunter gatherers that was used for thousands of years to keep time while measuring and travelling the planet and developing a philosophy that maintained a balance with Nature?There is a golden thread of truth running through our history that millions cannot see, but that if we did, it may give us hope for our children in a world adrift without an anchor, where time runs faster, exploitation is rife and honesty is a bye word from a lost time, imagined to be better, where society cared about its people and families about their children living by rules that were easy to understand and no one old, poor or disabled lived in isolation.The Golden Thread of Time is designed to give hope where it does not exist, providing answers where there have been none while motivating people to look beyond the mundane toward the light.Do you care?

Book excerpt: From the simple representative shapes used to record transactions of goods and services in ancient Mesopotamia, to the sophisticated typographical resources available to the twenty–first–century users of desktop computers, the story of writing is the story of human civilization itself. Calligraphy expert Ewan Clayton traces the history of an invention which—ever since our ancestors made the transition from a nomadic to an agrarian way of life in the eighth century BC—has been the method of codification and dissemination of ideas in every field of human endeavour, and a motor of cultural, scientific and political progress. He explores the social and cultural impact of, among other stages, the invention of the alphabet; the replacement of the papyrus scroll with the codex in the late Roman period; the perfecting of printing using moveable type in the fifteenth century and the ensuing spread of literacy; the industrialization of printing during the Industrial Revolution; the impact of artistic Modernism on the written word in the early twentieth century—and of the digital switchover at the century's close. The Golden Thread also raises issues of urgent interest for a society living in an era of unprecedented change to the tools and technologies of written communication. Chief among these is the fundamental question: "What does it mean to be literate in the early twenty–first century?" The book belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who is inquisitive not just about the centrality of writing in the history of humanity, but also about its future; it is sure to appeal to lovers of language, books and cultural history.

Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE ALCS "GOLD DAGGER" AWARD FOR NON-FICTION CRIME WRITING Uncover the story behind the death of renowned diplomat and UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld in this true story of spies and intrigue surrounding one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century. On September 17, 1961, Dag Hammarskjöld boarded a Douglas DC6 propeller plane on the sweltering tarmac of the airport in Leopoldville, the capital of the Congo. Hours later, he would be found dead in an African jungle with an ace of spades playing card placed on his body. Hammarskjöld had been the head of the United Nations for nine years. He was legendary for his dedication to peace on earth. But dark forces circled him: Powerful and connected groups from an array of nations and organizations—including the CIA, the KGB, underground militant groups, business tycoons, and others—were determined to see Hammarskjöld fail. A riveting work of investigative journalism based on never-before-seen evidence, recently revealed firsthand accounts, and groundbreaking new interviews, The Golden Thread reveals the truth behind one of the great murder mysteries of the Cold War.

Book excerpt: Scandal rocks Depression Era New York while a Mayor’s aide pursues her dark past in a mystery full of “colorful characters and rich historical flavor” (Publishers Weekly). November, 1936. Lane Sanders breaks away from her busy job at City Hall to confront childhood nightmares still lingering in Rochester, Michigan. An unknown assailant left Lane with scattered memories after viciously murdering her parents. But one memory of a solid gold pawn piece remains—and with it lies a startling connection between the midwestern tragedy and a current mystery haunting the Big Apple. Meanwhile, panic grips Manhattan after a respected banker disappears, threatening the already crippled financial industry—not to mention the pristine reputation of Lane’s boss, Mayor Fiorello “Fio” La Guardia. Fio’s fight to restore order leads him into conflict with a familiar foe intent on ending his mayoral term—and his life. Now it’s up to Lane to both silence old ghosts and derail present-day schemes. But when the investigation awakens a darker side of her own nature, will she—and the city she loves—still forge ahead into a prosperous new age? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?
