Book Synopsis A Perfect Red by : Amy Butler Greenfield
Download or read book A Perfect Red written by Amy Butler Greenfield and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You’ll finish [Greenfield’s] book with new respect for color, especially for red. With A Perfect Red, she does for it what Mark Kurlansky in Salt did for that common commodity.”—Houston Chronicle Interweaving mystery, empire, and adventure, Amy Butler Greenfield’s masterful popular history offers a window onto a world far different from our own: a world in which the color red was rare and precious—a source of wealth and power for those who could unlock its secrets. And in this world nothing was more prized than cochineal, a red dye that produced the brightest, strongest red the Old World had ever seen. A Perfect Red recounts the story of this legendary red dye, from its cultivation by the ancient Mexicans and discovery by 16th-century Spanish conquistadors to the European pirates, explorers, alchemists, scientists, and spies who joined in the chase to unlock its secrets, a chase that lasted more than three centuries. It evokes with style and verve this history of a grand obsession, of intrigue, empire, and adventure in pursuit of the most desirable color on earth.

Book excerpt: Map of Desire is an elegant, innovative, and powerful blueprint for self-fulfillment. Through the power of pictures, it reveals inner landscapes. By seeing the topography of our own psyche, we can then identify, locate and (with the aid of transformative Practices), conquer those inner demons that typically sabotage our best efforts. Furthermore, as with all maps, we can see clear paths towards our true destinations all the way to personal freedom. Thanks to Fu-Ding Cheng's background in art and architecture, the "maps" are expertly designed, beautifully illustrated, and wonderfully instructive. Based on timeless wisdom traditions East and West, and informed by his own breakthrough awakening with world renowned shaman don Miguel Ruiz, the writing is as clear as it is authoritative, the practices effective as they are timely. With bold promise and sense of adventure, this book invites you to a journey rich and rewarding. "Fu-Ding is a nagual, a Master...Study these maps, follow the guidance, and you will find yourself enjoying your journey towards self-fulfillment." --don Miguel Ruiz Fu-Ding Cheng began his career as an architect, but has dedicated the past three decades to books, films, and spirituality. Since life-changing experiences with shaman, don Miguel Ruiz, he has been devoted to distilling the highest wisdoms into practical pathways to personal freedom for everyone.

Book Synopsis A Field Guide to Getting Lost by : Rebecca Solnit
Download or read book A Field Guide to Getting Lost written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-06-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An intriguing amalgam of personal memoir, philosophical speculation, natural lore, cultural history, and art criticism.” —Los Angeles Times From the award-winning author of Orwell's Roses, a stimulating exploration of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown Written as a series of autobiographical essays, A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Rebecca Solnit's life to explore issues of uncertainty, trust, loss, memory, desire, and place. Solnit is interested in the stories we use to navigate our way through the world, and the places we traverse, from wilderness to cities, in finding ourselves, or losing ourselves. While deeply personal, her own stories link up to larger stories, from captivity narratives of early Americans to the use of the color blue in Renaissance painting, not to mention encounters with tortoises, monks, punk rockers, mountains, deserts, and the movie Vertigo. The result is a distinctive, stimulating voyage of discovery.

Book Synopsis The Colours of Desire on the Canvas of Restraint by : Sudhamahi Regunathan
Download or read book The Colours of Desire on the Canvas of Restraint written by Sudhamahi Regunathan and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lucid account of the history of Jainism The early Jainas were clever communicators. From sensuous poetry to voluptuous sculptures, tales that were both explicit and explorative, and even games, they employed a range of innovative techniques to explain and transmit their teachings. Sudhamahi Regunathan, a former vice-chancellor of the Jain Vishva Bharati University, takes a leaf out of their book as she writes this introduction to Jainism. Using an array of stories and myths, she starts with a historical account of the first twenty-three Tirthankaras as narrated in the Jaina texts and goes on to delve into the philosophy of the religion. The discussions on the tenets that form the bedrock of Jainism are illuminating -- be it anekanta, the belief in the multi-dimensionality of truth; santhara, the controversial practice of voluntarily embracing death; or the interplay between desire and restraint, which is at the heart of Jainism's simple way of life. Regunathan also highlights the contribution of the Jainas to building a common Indian ethos, and throws light on Jainism's many distinctions. It is a little known fact, for instance, that the first nun was initiated into the Jaina order long before the start of the Christian era. Scholarly yet accessible, The Colours of Desire on the Canvas of Restraint hopes to upturn the popular notion that Jainism is a 'dry' religion as it takes its readers into an austere yet colourful world.

Download or read book The Book of (More) Delights written by Ross Gay and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling author of The Book of Delights and award-winning poet, a book of lyrical mini-essays celebrating the everyday that will inspire readers to rediscover the joys in the world around us. In Ross Gay’s new collection of small, daily wonders, again written over the course of a year, one of America’s most original voices continues his ongoing investigation of delight. For Gay, what delights us is what connects us, what gives us meaning, from the joy of hearing a nostalgic song blasting from a passing car to the pleasure of refusing the “nefarious” scannable QR code menus, from the tiny dog he fell hard for to his mother baking a dozen kinds of cookies for her grandchildren. As always, Gay revels in the natural world—sweet potatoes being harvested, a hummingbird carousing in the beebalm, a sunflower growing out of a wall around the cemetery, the shared bounty from a neighbor’s fig tree—and the trillion mysterious ways this glorious earth delights us. The Book of (More) Delights is a volume to savor and share.
