From the flyleaf: "The Gifts captures the essence of Coast Salish culture through its artistry, oral traditions, and history. Developed in conjunction with the first extensive exhibition of the art and culture of the Coast Salish peoples of Washington State and British Columbia, the book traces the development of Salish art from prehistory to the present. Sculpture in wood, stone, and bone--including monumental house posts--as well as expertly crafted basketry, woven regalia, and contemporary works in glass, print media, and painting showcase a sweeping artistic tradition and its contemporary vibrant manifestations.S'abadeb is the Lushootseed term for "gifts" and invokes a principle at the heart of Salish sculpture: reciprocity, both in the public and spiritual domains. This richly symbolic word expresses the importance of giving gifts at potlatches, of giving thanks during first food ceremonies, of the creativity bestowed upon artists and other leaders, and of the roles of the master artists, oral historians, and cultural leaders in passing vital cultural information to the next generations. The theme of S'abadeb and practices of reciprocal exchange in Salish society are illuminated here through the intersection of art with ceremony, oral traditions, the land, and contemporary realities." Contents by the authors listed above include: Storied arts: lushootseed gifting across time and space, Kwulasulwut: teachings of the past, treasures of the future, Traditional teachings about coast Salish art , The recognition of coast Salish art, how did it all get there? tracing the path of Salish art in collections, A dialogue about coast salish aesthetics, Remembrance, symbols of identity, containers for knowledge and memories, Objects of function and beauty: basketry of the Southern Coast Salish, Weaving in beauty, weaving in time, More than transportation: the traditional canoes of Puget Sound, et. al. 279 pages with large color plates throughout.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The primacy of reason and seizures of art and the enlightenment experience are Pelern's (named for the Mtis rascal-pilgrim in Fortney's novel, Ghost Dancing) central concerns in this book of essays. Others are the nature of inspiration, and most importantly, a unique perspective on the relation of science and religion: religion as art. The religious experience is an aesthetic experience, and its methodology is but a form of artistic creativity. Theology, therefore, is poetry or art criticism. The current conflict between science and religion is a false conflict, and must be reassessed as the more familiar relation of science to art. Thus a picture of progressive religion, grounded in science and art, and with a focus on the mystical event, standard in the East, finally emerges as the esoteric inflection of the monotheisms of the Levant and the monist religious expressions of the Far East, particularly in the neo-agnostic Buddhism of Stephen Batchellor. Science is our first magisterium. The enlightenment experience is central. Art is the path to spiritual progress. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Reunion is the story of several generations of a large Norwegian-American farm family. Many plot strands are interwoven with a description of a huge reunion at the ancestral farm in west-central Wisconsin in 1983. The cousins share a range of backgrounds from farming to big business to nuclear physics to military veterans from WWI to Vietnam . Be warned: the last section of chapter four, titled "1968" is a harrowing tearful ride. Nonetheless, a scene near the end of the novel finds the narrator climbing a hill overlooking a valley where generations of his family have farmed and gone to school. And there, making a simple, life-affirming gesture, he has an experience that lifts him out of his human limitedness into a deep love for the earth, his connectedness to it, and the transcendence of the sorrows of his family.
