Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Those who do not learn from the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them." George Santayana's law of repetitive consequences is applicable not only in the context of history, but also in people's lives. It is the underlying theme of the novel Of Tapestry, Time and Tears. Of Tapestry, Time and Tears is an epic story of a woman's journey of painful self-discovery and her participation in the historical events of the twentieth century-the Depression, World War II, India's Partition, and ultimately, 9/11. Edwina Kleberg is defined by her German and Irish immigrant parents and her life in the Texas Hill Country during the Depression and pre-war years of the 1930's. As a female writer in the predominately male world of journalism, she is a unique observer to the myriad of hateful global changes through her work as a war correspondent in Italy, but meets an Indian soldier who not only saves her life at the battle of Monte Cassino, but piques her interest about India's impending break from British rule. Her ultimate assignment takes her to 1946 India. Against the dramatic backdrop of India's Independence and the violent cruelties of Partition, Edwina commits a series of poor choices, including a tragically poignant romance, all of which transforms her from a naïve egotistical young writer into a mature woman committed to saving the orphans of Delhi. Upon her return to Texas, she is faced with personal demons of loneliness, purposelessness, and alcoholism which miraculously results in her greatest blessing-just as Baba, her beloved sadhu predicted. Each of the characters woven through the story mirrors the complexities of life and how we are permanently affected by the historical era into which we are born. From Rajil Chaudhary, an emotionally tortured man trapped between the modern world of the west and the rigidity of India's culture, Baba, the colorful sadhu, who guides Edwina through her problems with his rich metaphorical lessons, Nikolai Petrov, the Russian journalist who surreptitiously struggles against the Cold War, Gordon Winchcomb, the hard-edged entrepreneur who secretly believes in the noble magic of Don Quixote to Carl T. Bunch, the Texas rancher hiding a painful secret behind his wild, alcohol-fueled antics-all of the characters are fresh, psychologically complex, and symbolic of life's difficult choices.

From 1460 to 1560, courts and churches lavished vast sums on costly weavings in silk and gold thread from designs by leading artists. In this lavishly illustrated book, the first major survey of tapestry production of this period, contributors analyze some of these & beautiful tapestries, examine the stylistic and technical development of tapestry production in the Low Countries, France, and Italy during the Renaissance, and discuss the contribution that the medium made to art, liturgy, and propaganda of the day.

Book excerpt: A tapestry is created by diligently working many threads together to make a complete picture. This story is a tapestry of life created from true facts and events made up with various threads of a childs life up to adulthood from birth in 1936 in a Yorkshire town to the millennium. It tells of world events that happened in her lifetime that made the headlines in the worlds press and on the cinema and TV screen newsreels. It relays a childs perspective of the Second World War and the hardships that had to be endured by the people of her time. The promise of a normal family life shattered by the death of her mother before the childs second birthday and the trauma experienced by her father in his dilemma and the consequences of it. It continues to describe her life after being admitted into the local orphanage, which became her home for a number of years, as one small insecure child amongst many. The story creates a picture of various stages leading up to the introduction by her father of the lady who was to become her future mother. Life progresses through the years leading to her marriage, motherhood, tragedy, heartbreak, divorce and disillusionment. Fate then gives a hand and in unexpected twist she finds herself remarried and living on a beautiful island in the Ionian Sea. She experiences life style changes that help her to grow in confidence and maturity enabling her to blend easily into the Greek way of life. She lives the dream for a short time before deciding to return to England to her family that she has missed so much by their absence in her everyday life. Upon her return she finds she has too much time on her hands and takes up voluntary work and media studies. Through the media work she assists someone with her family tree and decides to do one of her own. This leads to the discovery of a whole new family living in New Zealand. Contact was hastily made via e-mail and at a later date she was able to meet all the relatives involved who were still living, when nine of them visited her in England. After further research a bigger picture emerged of her beginnings that she had previously known nothing about but other had done. The startling facts were revealed to her. Her father had been part of two families resulting in the previously unknown relation in New Zealand and others. She manages to contact the other relatives besides from her own birth town in Yorkshire. Contact was then established and meeting arranged with all concerned. The result being that many things connected with her childhood came to her notice with their revelations. The tapestry of 64 years of her life was now complete.

She invites us to become weavers of tradition; to knit our personal stories together with those of our ancestors and our community; and to honor, savor, and celebrate the sacred in our lives. This important addition to the Jewish family library presents detailed explanations of each ritual, along with historical, cultural, and scriptural background. By describing traditional rites as well as contemporary innovations--the Passover seder and Miriam's Cup, baby-naming ceremonies and the practice of wrapping the newborn in a tallit--Rabbi Cardin shows how we can honor and add to our tradition. Supplementary margin notes offer: Examples of ethical wills Personal anecdotes Rabbinic stories, folk tales, and poetry Tips on addressing the December Dilemma Enhancing the volume are exquisite drawings by Ilene Winn-Lederer, a mini-prayerbook of blessings for home observance, and a 20-year calendar of Jewish holidays. Rabbi Cardin invites us to record details of our observance in Personal Weavings--favorite holiday recipes, family rituals, and prayers of the heart--so that the Jewish tradition may be renewed and enriched. The Tapestry of Jewish Time reflects a profound spirituality that inspires us all to contribute to the lush weave of Jewish life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time’s Fool: Essays in Context is a collection of essays on a broad range of topics, from Gilgamesh to James Joyce – and beyond: to Kazuo Ishiguro, Michael Ondaatje, Yaşar Kemal, Cormac McCarthy, Abdulrahman Munif, and many others. Time’s Fool is a memorial to the life work of A. Clare Brandabur, who walked away from a tenure-track teaching position at the University of Illinois to embark on a career of teaching in Middle Eastern universities in Jordan, Syria, Bahrain, occupied Palestine, Cyprus, Ankara, and finally Istanbul, where she taught for the last decade and a half of her life. Had Clare stayed with a career at a “Research I” university in the United States, her scholarship would have been far less rich and free-wheeling – more narrow, concentrated, and specialized – and she would not have been able to help and inspire her graduate and undergraduate students from the Near East and, especially during her last five or six years at Fatih University, from around the world. The essays are organized into five main groups, from “Gender and Family Relations” and “Ecocriticism,” to “Colonialism and Post-Colonialism,” “Colonialism and Ireland,” and “Colonialism, Palestine, Genocide”; and a final ‘catch-all’ section of “Miscellaneous Essays” that includes Gilgamesh, T.E. Lawrence, Yaşar Kemal, Graham Green, and modern theory. There are also sub-categories that transcend the six sections, such as Arab Literature, Catholicism, Women’s Studies, and Mythology – something for everyone, in short. Clare’s essays give a sense of her breadth of scholarship and her very rich play of mind, but the real monument to her life’s work is in the hearts and minds of the students from around the world whom she influenced.
