Book excerpt: From the author of The Song of the Jade Lily comes a thrilling story of a family secret that leads to a legendary treasure. Why would someone bury a bucket of precious jewels and gemstones and never return? Present Day. When respected American jewelry historian, Kate Kirby, receives a call about the Cheapside jewels, she knows she’s on the brink of the experience of a lifetime. But the trip to London forces Kate to explore secrets that have long been buried by her own family. Back in Boston, Kate has uncovered a series of sketches in her great-grandmother’s papers linking her suffragette great-grandmother Essie to the Cheapside collection. Could these sketches hold the key to Essie’s secret life in Edwardian London? In the summer of 1912, impoverished Irish immigrant Essie Murphy happens to be visiting her brother when a workman’s pickaxe strikes through the floor of an old tenement house in Cheapside, near St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The workmen uncover a stash of treasure—from Ottoman pendants to Elizabethan and Jacobean gems—and then the finds disappear again! Could these jewels—one in particular—change the fortunes of Essie and her sisters? Together with photographer Marcus Holt, Kate Kirby chases the history of the Cheapside gems and jewels, especially the story of a small diamond champlevé enamel ring. Soon, everything Kate believes about her family, gemology, and herself will be threatened. Based on a fascinating true story, The Lost Jewels is a riveting historical fiction novel that will captivate readers from the beginning to the unforgettable, surprising end.

Book excerpt: Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Jewels is the first book from poet, singer & creative director Tai Allen. The chapbook narrates a young life that was loved well, loved wrong and, sometimes, not loved at all. Sadly, this tale is not an aberration or an oddity. There are numerous #NoJewels scenarios in every locale; and, there you find false-love victims who encounter abuse & control. This book of lines, devices, spaces, forms and stanzas hopes to serve them all. The poems speaks of both the deeds and the emergence from them, with admirable self-love to preserve sanity and soul. Ambitious but possible. Purchase the book but do not forget the soundtrack -- Amazon, Apple, Tidal, Bandcamp, Spotify and taiallen.com. The companion is not a reading of the poems over music but an album of soul music inspired by the poems -- songs of revelation and emergence. Tunes that make you dance, nod your head or allow you space to just be.

Download or read book Living Presence written by Kabir Edmund Helminski and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-06-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an excellent book that explains spiritual principles and how to carry them into everyday life . . . Highly recommended."—Library Journal Sufism is a centuries-old spiritual psychology leading to presence in life. Presence is our capacity to be whole in the moment, in alignment with our deepest wisdom. With unusual clarity, this book describes how presence is different from ordinary habits of mind, and how it can be developed. Drawing on the words of the great Sufi, Rumi, as well as traditional material and personal experience, this book integrates the wisdom of Sufism with the needs of contemporary life. Living Presence offers a wisdom that is both universal and practical. It shows how we can bring spirituality and psychology into a balanced system that honors and awakens the soul. “I am pleased to give Living Presence a high recommendation: It is sober, thoughtful, and well worth deep reflection. Helminski is concerned with out interactions with each other, with cultivating love and a desire to serve the Highest through serving each other . . . a valuable emphasis in a culture like ours that tends to think of spiritual development as special and solitary experiences.”—Noetic Sciences Review by Charles Tart, Ph.D.

Download or read book Berber Memories written by Michel Draguet and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Berbers are considered to be the earliest occupants of the regions stretching north of the Sahara. Their ancient cultural tradition has been enhanced by absorbing diverse outside influences, the result of successive invasions punctuating the history of the southern Mediterranean ever since the arrival of the Phoenicians - followed by the Greeks, the Romans, the Vandals, the Byzantines and finally the Arabs. Through appropriation and assimilation, the Berbers gave birth to an exceptionally rich culture, while retaining the very foundations of an age-old civilisation born when the Sahara was still green. The remarkable collection of finery assembled by Anne-Marie Gillion Crowet relates this fascinating history brilliantly. Besides the virtuosity of the Muslim and Jewish artisans, this jewellery also testifies to the complex situation of women within the Berber world. The fruit of a partnership with the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, Berber Memories pays tribute to Berber women, as guardians and conveyors of civilisation in Morocco.
