DOWNLOAD EBOOKBook 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).

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 EBOOKIn every era, global progressive thinkers have used creativity as a means for cultural reformation and social justice in response to oppressive regimes. For example, theater, cartoons, social art, film, and other forms of representative arts have always been used as critical instigation to create agency or critical commentary on current affairs. In the education sector, teachers in schools often say one of two things: they are not creative or that they don't have the time to be creative given the curricular demands and administrative mandates that they are required to follow. Each day, educators are working to find exceptionally creative ways to engage their students with limited resources and supplies, and this becomes even more of a challenge during turbulent times. Creativity as Progressive Pedagogy: Examinations Into Culture, Performance, and Challenges primarily focuses on pedagogical creativity and culture as related to various aspects of social justice and identity. This book presents experience-based content and showcases the necessity for pedagogical creativity to give students agency and the connections between cultural sensitivity and creativity. Covering topics such as the social capital gap, digital spaces, and underprivileged students, this book is an indispensable resource for educators in both K-12 and higher education, administrators, researchers, faculty, policymakers, leaders in education, pre-service teachers, and academicians.

By the mid-point of the series, the readers enjoy a clear view of both sides of the battle. In this war of wizards and warriors, there are equal elements of fantasy sword & sorcery and science fiction action & adventure. This world has the expected mythical creatures like elves, dragons, orcs and ninjas but with unique twists you will enjoy. I won’t spoil the story for you. I designed this complete series to keep building and compelling you to turn the page. I’ve made sure there’s never a dull moment. Q - Are these books safe for teens and tweens?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author begins his true story with the memory of family tragedy and the efforts to be self-sufficient on a small plot of land. He writes about the end of WWII, wanting to fly away to other places, personal cynics concerning clergy, and the petty schisms that split Christian churches into many denominations. He includes events and discussions with people in domestic and foreign places where he has served, worked, and lived about their religion and beliefs for which he observes common elements. His dreams of riding a big chestnut steed started when he was a young boy. The dreams recurred for over forty years. He uses the dreams to symbolically reflect the stages of his life where he strips himself of things that finally sets him free from his anger and doubts.
