Book Synopsis The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History by : Kassia St. Clair
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 368 pages. 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: LONGLISTED FOR THE ALCS "GOLD DAGGER" AWARD FOR NON-FICTION CRIME WRITING Uncover the story behind the death of renowned diplomat and UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld in this true story of spies and intrigue surrounding one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century. On September 17, 1961, Dag Hammarskjöld 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. Hammarskjöld 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 Hammarskjöld 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.
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.

In this book Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colours and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilisation. Across fashion and politics, art and war, The Secret Lives of Colour tell the vivid story of our culture.

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.
Book Synopsis The Golden Thread by : Sidney Schwartz
Download or read book The Golden Thread written by Sidney Schwartz and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If all of history were a tapestry of time, a Golden Thread would be woven throughout, symbolizing the working of Spirit. This Golden Thread is contrasted against a dark background of ignorance, that theologians perpetuated to keep the truth of the Spirit World hidden from humanity. The Golden Thread will examine history from a new perspective, through the eyes of a medium. The aim of this book is to explain the workings of Spirit, known today as parapsychology or psychic phenomena and to relate this phenomena with historical events, to demonstrate how mankind has been guided by Spirit since the beginning of time. The presentation of alternative theories is not intended to convert the reader's beliefs, but to provide rational evidence to support and enhance the reader's beliefs. Most of the major personalities of the Bible were mediums, and demonstrated at least one of the Gifts of the Spirit. The Golden Thread will explain how each of the Gifts of the Spirit functions and clarify which Biblical medium demonstrated that gift. The laws of psychic science have never changed, and what was true in Biblical times, is still true today. The text of the Bible has filtered through the minds of hundreds of translators, and as a result many translations have been infused with translators' biases and agendas not found in in the original texts. Despite the fact there are over 500 translations of the Bible, much psychic meaning and information is embedded in the original Hebrew of the Old Testament, which never gets transmitted into English translations.
