Tales of the Soil
Author: NEC Iankowitz
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467856037
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Tales of the Soil is a collection of spiritual and inspirational allegories that challenge the concept of existence. The book invites each reader to become The Meadow and every creature that calls it home. Venture through time as a dandelion. Experience love, compassion, aging, and learning through the eyes of the butterfly. Explore growth, understanding, and change, as would a droplet of dew. "I viewed, through the magical eyes of this author, a wondrous tale of what is all about us and yet unseen. The writing is powerful, evoking images that brought tears as I read, echoing truths that resonated deeply. The ordinary so transformed, that I could neither read it aloud without my voice breaking, nor read it through dry eyes. This is a spiritual journey, in the story style of the ancient medicine men of native cultures, which touches the Great Spirit in us all. Discover the world above, below and within this special Meadow as the stories are painted through your minds eye upon the palette of your imagination. I don''t know how she does this, but I''m grateful that she does. ~ Daniel Cohen Ph.D., Retired Executive Director New York Testing and Guidance Center, Assistant Professor, Educational and Developmental Psychology Pace University, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Educational Psychology Brooklyn College, Dean of Students, NYC Bd. of Education, Fellow Royal Society of Health (Eng.)

American Myths, Legends, and Tall Tales [3 volumes]
Author: Christopher R. Fee
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1610695682
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1265
Book Description
A fascinating survey of the entire history of tall tales, folklore, and mythology in the United States from earliest times to the present, including stories and myths from the modern era that have become an essential part of contemporary popular culture. Folklore has been a part of American culture for as long as humans have inhabited North America, and increasingly formed an intrinsic part of American culture as diverse peoples from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania arrived. In modern times, folklore and tall tales experienced a rejuvenation with the emergence of urban legends and the growing popularity of science fiction and conspiracy theories, with mass media such as comic books, television, and films contributing to the retelling of old myths. This multi-volume encyclopedia will teach readers the central myths and legends that have formed American culture since its earliest years of settlement. Its entries provide a fascinating glimpse into the collective American imagination over the past 400 years through the stories that have shaped it. Organized alphabetically, the coverage includes Native American creation myths, "tall tales" like George Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree and the adventures of "King of the Wild Frontier" Davy Crockett, through to today's "urban myths." Each entry explains the myth or legend and its importance and provides detailed information about the people and events involved. Each entry also includes a short bibliography that will direct students or interested general readers toward other sources for further investigation. Special attention is paid to African American folklore, Asian American folklore, and the folklore of other traditions that are often overlooked or marginalized in other studies of the topic.

Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476612897
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Csenge Virag Zalka, a Hungarian storyteller, has collected 55 folktales from around the world about supernatural abilities like superhuman strength, invulnerability, flying, heightened senses, speed, invisibility, healing, agility, precognition, telepathy, fire manipulation, teleportation, water powers, and shifting.
