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.

Book excerpt: A true story of spies and intrigue surrounding one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the 20th century, investigative reporter Ravi Somaiya uncovers the story behind the death of renowned diplomat and UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskj ld. On September 17, 1961, Dag Hammarskj ld 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. Hammarskj ld 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 Hammarskj ld 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author begins his true story with the memory of family tragedy and the efforts to be self-sufficient on a small plot of land. He writes about the end of WWII, wanting to fly away to other places, personal cynics concerning clergy, and the petty schisms that split Christian churches into many denominations. He includes events and discussions with people in domestic and foreign places where he has served, worked, and lived about their religion and beliefs for which he observes common elements. His dreams of riding a big chestnut steed started when he was a young boy. The dreams recurred for over forty years. He uses the dreams to symbolically reflect the stages of his life where he strips himself of things that finally sets him free from his anger and doubts.

Interview with the Author Q - So, what makes the Golden Threads Trilogy special? A - A handful of readers noticed the science fiction elements very early and speculated that my fantasy elements were stealthy science fiction. I did my job if you have to consider ‘is that possible for science?’ I made this complete series a solid mix of genres. Starting with fantasy and slowly adding in hidden science fiction elements. By the mid-point of the series, the readers enjoy a clear view of both sides of the battle. In this war of wizards and warriors, there are equal elements of fantasy sword & sorcery and science fiction action & adventure. This world has the expected mythical creatures like elves, dragons, orcs and ninjas but with unique twists you will enjoy. I won’t spoil the story for you. I designed this complete series to keep building and compelling you to turn the page. I’ve made sure there’s never a dull moment. Q - Are these books safe for teens and tweens? A - Absolutely, there is no explicit details or bad words. Adult subjects are there but dealt with in a tween safe way. I made this complete series a fast, fun-ride for adults and teens to live with wizards and warriors! Each of the books has hit the top ten bestsellers list on Kindle for Fantasy and Science Fiction, which isn’t easy. Q - What order should I read the books in? A - Good question. I do not mean these books to be read out of order. I’d recommend the following sequence: Thread Slivers Thread Strands Thread Skein Q - So, why should readers give these books a try? A - Because the Golden Threads Trilogy is a fast, fun-ride that takes you to a wondrous world of wizards and warriors! Each of the books has hit the top ten bestsellers list on Kindle for Fantasy and Science Fiction, which isn’t easy. Readers who enjoy epic fantasies with fast-paced fighting, mysteries, and twisty plots will get a thrill out of this complete series. And thanks for reading!

Download or read book From Shamanism to Sufism written by Razia Sultanova and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have traditionally played a vital part in Islam throughout Central Asia - the vast area from the Caspian Sea to Siberia. With this ground-breaking and original study, Razia Sultanova examines the experiences of Muslim women in the region and the ways in which religion has shaped their daily lives and continues to do so today. 'From Shamanism to Sufism' explores the fundamental interplay between religious belief and the cultural heritage of music and dance and is the first book to focus particularly on the role of women. Based on evidence derived from over fifteen years of field work, 'From Shamanism to Sufism' shows how women kept alive traditional Islamic religious culture in Central Asia, especially through Shamanism and Sufism, even under Soviet rule when all religion was banned. Nowhere was the role of women more important than in the Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan, the cradle of female Islamic culture and a centre for women's poetry and music. This area is home to the 'Otin-Oy', a sisterhood of religiously educated women and members of Sufi orders, who take a leading part in rituals, marking the pivotal moments in the Islamic calendar and maintaining religious practices through music and ritual dances. Sultanova shows how the practice of Islam in Uzbekistan has evolved over time: long underground, there was a religious resurgence at independence in 1991, boosting national Uzbek identity and nationalism - 500 new mosques were built - only to be followed by a return to persecution by a repressive state under the banner of the 'war against terror'. Now events have come full circle, and once again covert worship by women remains crucial to the survival of traditional Muslim culture. Ritual and music are at the heart of Central Asian and Islamic culture, not only at weddings and funerals but in all aspects of everyday life. Through her in-depth analysis of these facets of cultural life within Central Asian society, 'From Shamanism to Sufism' offers important insights into the lives of the societies in the region. The role of women has often been neglected in studies of religious culture and this book fills an enormous gap, restoring women to their rightful historical and cultural context. It will be essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in the History or Religion of Central Asia or in Global Islam..
