Download or read book The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History written by Kassia St. Clair and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Authority • 36 Best Textile Design eBooks of All Time A briskly told, 30,000-year history of textiles that “will make you rethink your relationship with fabric” (Elle Decoration). From colorful threads found on the floor of an ancient Georgian cave to the Indian calicoes that fueled the Industrial Revolution, The Golden Thread illuminates the myriad and fascinating histories behind the cloths that came to define human civilization—the fabric, for example, that allowed mankind to shatter athletic records, and the textile technology that granted us the power to survive in space. Exploring the enduring association of textiles with “women’s work,” Kassia St. Clair “spins a rich social history . . . that also reflects the darker side of technology” (Rachel Newcomb, Washington Post).
Download or read book The Golden Thread written by Ewan Clayton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Synopsis Golden Thread of Time by : Crichton E.M Miller
Download or read book Golden Thread of Time written by Crichton E.M Miller and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 477 pages. 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 Synopsis The Thread of Gold by : Jane Carole Anderson

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.
Download or read book Threads of Life written by Clare Hunter and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This globe-spanning history of sewing and embroidery, culture and protest, is “an astonishing feat . . . richly textured and moving” (The Sunday Times, UK). In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their “disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, memory, power, and politics told through the stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the universal beauty and power of sewing.

Download or read book An Absolutely Remarkable Thing written by Hank Green and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Sparkling with mystery, humor and the uncanny, this is a fun read. But beneath its effervescent tone, more complex themes are at play.” —San Francisco Chronicle In his wildly entertaining debut novel, Hank Green—cocreator of Crash Course, Vlogbrothers, and SciShow—spins a sweeping, cinematic tale about a young woman who becomes an overnight celebrity before realizing she's part of something bigger, and stranger, than anyone could have possibly imagined. The Carls just appeared. Roaming through New York City at three a.m., twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture. Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship—like a ten-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor—April and her best friend, Andy, make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day, April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world—from Beijing to Buenos Aires—and April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight. Seizing the opportunity to make her mark on the world, April now has to deal with the consequences her new particular brand of fame has on her relationships, her safety, and her own identity. And all eyes are on April to figure out not just what the Carls are, but what they want from us. Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing grapples with big themes, including how the social internet is changing fame, rhetoric, and radicalization; how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration spring for the same dehumanization that follows a life in the public eye. The beginning of an exciting fiction career, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a bold and insightful novel of now.

Book Synopsis The Golden Thread of World History: Advanced Civilizations as Far as 30,000 Years Ago by : Alexandre Saint-Yves D'Alveydre
Download or read book The Golden Thread of World History: Advanced Civilizations as Far as 30,000 Years Ago written by Alexandre Saint-Yves D'Alveydre and published by Manakael Masterworks. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Thread of World History is conceived in such a way that the contemporary readers, exploring wider and deeper historical territories, will become more perceptive, intelligent, insightful and wiser, and even eager to participate positively in the necessary reconciliation between Religion and Science as they are re-morphing respectively into "Scientific Religion" and "Hypernatural Science". This book clearly demonstrates that "Science" and "Religion" having in many instances recognized and experienced, in regards with their quest for Essential Truth, are like two faces of the same coin. Whenever they combine their enquiring efforts, they both thrive. But whenever they enter into hostile opposition, either they both fall back and decline, or Science alone seems to win the fight and Religious timeless mighty truths are distorted and stifled; then both contenders end up contemptuously accusing each other of propagating myths and fantasies, and, consequently, Human Life and its sustaining environment fatally wane and deteriorate.This erudite and inspired author has gathered and intelligently linked for us myriad fragments of that Fundamental "Savancy", which combines Science and Religion, their respective Principles, Methods and Applications. The readers will enjoy discovering the fruits of that "Integral Science" as it unfolded frequently in remote past. They are scattered all around the globe, in the form of ancient grand Architectural Monuments, secular Writings and sacred Scriptures, Topical and Personal names, Social Organizations, Government Structures, Teaching and Learning systems, and more.Content Samples: MODERN SCIENCE AND THE OLD TESTAMENT___ESSENCE AND SUBSTANCE OF THE UNIVERSE___ESSENCE AND SUBSTANCE OF BEINGS AND TERRESTRIAL ELEMENTS ___SCIENCE IN ANTIQUITY ___REAL ORIGIN OF THE HEBREWS___CYCLE OF RAM___ UNIVERSAL EMPIRE OF THE ARIES___UNIVERSAL SCIENTIFIC THEOCRACY___THE SCHISM OF IRSHU___ORIGIN OF THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES___CHRISTNA IN INDIA___FO HI IN CHINA___ZOROASTER IN PERSIA___ABRAMIDS OR NEO RAMIDS FROM MESOPOTAMIA___MOSES IN EGYPT___ORPHEUS IN GREECE___THE HISTORICAL EXODUS___ARBITRAL CONSTITUTION OF ISRAEL___INTEGRAL SCIENCE OF MOSES AND BIBLICAL TRUTH DECRYPTED___JESUS PROMISE OF IMMORTALITY. In this exhaustive account of long, long past civilizations, an assortment of conflicts erupts cyclically: Masculine vs Feminine, Secularism vs Sacred Mysteries, Arbitral governance by the many vs Arbitrary oligarchy. The author is explicit as to the remedies that have been effective in the remote past and may again be applied successfully today.If you have not made up your mind about the existence of hyperphysical and supernatural realms, this read offers new valuable knowledge, while opening for wider perspectives on the multiple "forces" interacting within your daily normal life. However, if you are, for now, in denial of the realms existing beyond the span of normal sensorial perceptions, this book will delight you, as it contains a treasure trove of useful data that even pure reason cannot reject. Though, if you are among the happy ones who welcome every day the Light of Divine Love and compassionate Providence, this read will enable you to progress further on the path to higher Wisdom and Perfection.
