Book excerpt: From cultural heritage to inspired contemporary jewelry, this book is a journey into the ateliers of the master artisans in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul. This lavishly illustrated book provides an intriguing glimpse inside the luminous world of Fatma Altinbas, an anthropology professor and the creative mind behind the heritage jewelry brand Meváris. Born into a family of gold merchants, she had the privilege of growing up with the Grand Bazaar, immersed in the wonderfully rich history of Istanbul. Her distinctive approach as an academically minded entrepreneur is to marry the city's legacy of impeccable craftsmanship with new and alluring contemporary designs. This book is a celebration of the magnificent city of Istanbul and this designer's relationship with her creative culture. From the floral motifs in Ottoman kaftans to the enduring Byzantine architectural marvels, the beautiful imagery traces the historical and contemporary influences that have shaped the unique artistic vision guiding Meváris's exquisite jewelry creation. It offers unique aesthetic reinterpretations of Istanbul's heritage and its renowned Grand Bazaar through a celebration of past and present, and the colors and cultural wealth of the contemporary city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attitude of the British to India was compounded partly of arrogance, but partly also of homesickness, and it shows in their constructions. Georgian terraces were adapted to tropical conditions, Victorian railway stations were elaborately orientalised, and seaside villas were adjusted to suit Himalayan conditions. This book, now reissued with a new introduction by Simon Winchester, is the first to describe the whole range of British constructions in India. Stones of Empire charts an enterprise in architecture, engineering, and social adaptation unique in human history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystals are part of ancient wisdom and they have been used as tools of protection, growth, and healing for a long time. Although a crystal does not create energy, it amplifies it. Nor does a crystal heal, but it conducts healing energies that are being channeled to you by the Earth or by your spirit guides. There are many ways to use quartz crystals, but using them in water is one of the most effective ways to "soak in" what a crystal has to offer you. Bathing with crystals enhances the natural healing powers of stones, infusing these vibrational frequencies of the quartz crystal into your body for the purposes of healing, higher awareness, grounding, and meditation. Elizabeth Garzarelli has been studying the healing properties of quartz crystals for over 20 years and presents this calming and enriching book, filled with gorgeous photos and simple-to-follow instructions. In Taking a Bath with Quartz Crystals you will learn the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits of 12 different healing crystal baths using Amethyst, Smoky Quartz, Lake Superior Agate, Carnelian, Bloodstone, Red Jasper, Onyx, Green Aventurine, Tiger's Eye, Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz and Lemurian Seed Crystal. You will also learn: Breathing techniques and meditation in the bath. How to select crystals to use in the bath, and which ones are safe to bathe with. How to energetically cleanse your crystals. Other potential additions to your bath to further sweeten your time in the tub as essential oils, lighting, flowers and fruits, and music. "What a nurturing and powerful book. The author walks you through a journey of deep self-care and ritual. I loved her suggestions for which crystals to use for healing ailments and all her guidance as to how therapeutic baths have been used over the centuries. An exceptional, essential read for anyone who loves to bathe and wants to take it to the next level." - Dr. Shannon South, Therapist and Author Whether the bather is 8 or 88, woman or man, active or differently-abled, a quartz crystal bath offers a soothing, transformative experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, the Ankarana region of northern Madagascar has developed a reputation among globe-trotting gemstone traders and tourists as a source of some of the world's most precious natural wonders. Although some might see Ankarana's sapphire and ecotourist trades as being at odds with each other, many local people understand these trades to be fundamentally connected, most obviously in how both serve foreign demand for what Madagascar has to offer the world. Walsh explores the tensions and speculations that have come with the parallel emergence of these two trades with sensitivity and a critical eye, allowing for insights into globalization, inequality, and the appeal of the "natural."

Book excerpt: A fashion-forward guide to living well with crystals from the jewelry editor of British Vogue—including guidance and advice from designers, jewelers, and celebrity crystal fans. The New Stone Age guides you through fifteen different types of stones, categorized by color, and teaches you how to stylishly incorporate them into your wardrobe, home, and beyond. Assigning each crystal to a particular ailment of the modern age, whether it’s self-doubt, travel anxiety, or restlessness, Carol Woolton explains how a simple crystal worn around your neck, tossed in your purse, or sitting next to your computer can help inspire you to make positive changes in your life. Woolton traces the history of crystals, showing how the same quartz that was used as a form of protection in the handles of Egyptian daggers can also be hung near a bedside to help with burnout. Filled with insights, facts, and real-life stories from people who attribute dramatic personal improvements to their crystals, The New Stone Age is a fun and informative idea book for crystal lovers everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.
