For the Lebanese Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale, Mounira Al Solh has been invited to create a bridge between myth and reality. Her installation, A Dance with her Myth , is about the abduction of the Phoenician princess Europa by the god Zeus, who disguised himself as a white bull. The artist reinterprets this ancient myth from a contemporary perspective. The catalogue includes several texts on the significance of the monumental 41-part installation. MOUNIRA AL SOLH (*1978 Beirut, Lebanon) is a multidisciplinary artist, working with painting and drawing, text, embroidery, recorded sound, sculptures, video and performative gestures. Growing up during the Lebanese Civil War in Lebanon, Al Solh's works bear witness to the impact of conflict and displacement in the region. She deals with ongoing social and feminist struggles, while her work can be political and poetically escapist at once. She lives and works between Lebanon and the Netherlands.

Contributions by Sandra Bartlett Atwood, Nathan E. Bender, London Brickley, Eric A. Eliason, Noah D. Eliason, Tim Frandy, Robert Glenn Howard, Jay Mechling, Annamarie O'Brien Morel, Raymond Summerville, Tok Thompson, and Megan L. Zahay Guns are a ubiquitous part of life in the United States. Arguably more pervasive than physical guns is "gunlore," which refers to the many folklore genres related to firearms. Gunlore: Firearms, Folkways, and Communities is the first book to engage with the many narratives, rituals, folk-speech, customs, art, and handicraft encompassed by gunlore. Like most expressive cultures, gunlore emerges from specific communities. Groups with a shared interest around firearms may form for many reasons--self-protection, hunting, crime, work, political or social identity signaling, the desire to creatively modify guns, and even the resolve to oppose gun use and ownership. This collection explores a range of gunlore genres and the "gunfolk" groups that give rise to them. Contributors examine topics that include the fetishization of firearms, "Moms Who Carry," online discussion boards, alternative history cosplay, survivalist communities, gunsmiths and gun craft, and more. Gun owners and gun enthusiasts, in all their varieties, are one of the largest avocational groups in America. The essays in Gunlore seek to expand our understanding of these communities by looking at the various roles firearms play, have played, and can play in our world. Gunlore, for better or worse, is a powerful and pervasive method of self-expression. In examining the folklore around these controversial and politically charged tools, weapons, and symbols, we can begin to understand aspects of American culture that will remain prominent for the foreseeable future.

The folktales and urban legends of the southern Appalachian Mountains are unique, changing with the cultures that carried the tales to the foothills. This book examines the most popular and obscure of these stories, including often overlooked stories from the black community. Thanks to TikTok, message boards, podcasts, and YouTube videos, there's been renewed interest in certain indigenous Cherokee tales, which are included here, as well as some of the newer Appalachian folklore that have gained popularity due to these communities, including feral people, dogman, the Appalachian wendigo, and the Appalachian skinwalker. The gruesomely delightful images were created to intrigue younger readers and get them more involved in folklore, history, and Appalachian lore. It doesn't, however, include infamous area-specific localized folklore such as the Grafton monster, the Flatwoods monster, the Loveland frogman, the Kelly-Hopkinsville goblins, the lizardman of Scape Ore Swamp, Mothman, etc. that didn't spread throughout the Smokey Mountains like many others.

Folklore and ghost stories are important. They connect us to our past, and keep memories alive in one form or another. Unfortunately, many stories and tales appeared in books and periodicals that are hard to find, out of print, or have vanished completely. Inside you'll read about the ghosts, urban legends, superstitions about witches, mysterious creatures, strange unidentified flying objects, and other tall tales from Avery, Madison, Watauga, and Yancey Counties, North Carolina. Some books are good at "spinning a yarn", especially out of Southern Appalachian urban legends. Other books have presented the folklore as presented. Word of mouth can completely change a story, as well. Whenever possible, this book dives deep into a story to uncover the persons and true stories behind the legends.

In the lush fields of England's countryside, members of the upper social circles do not breed racehorses or delight in a brisk trot through town-they raise, ride and race dragons.

But it is the arrival of a certain gentleman to Hertfordshire that could threaten everything Elizabeth has been building in secret. Will her acquaintance with Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy spell disaster for her reputation, or will she be able to continue to follow her heart? Secrets, however, have a way of unraveling, and as the truth threatens to come to light, Elizabeth must confront her own fears that she will not be accepted for who she truly is.

NATIONAL BESTSELLERA spiritual thought-leader and featured guest on Oprah's SuperSoul Sunday helps us learn to quiet fear and anxiety and discover the powerful wholeness that exists within us all in this inspiring and affirmative guide.Achieving equilibrium in today's age of anxiety can seem like a near-impossible?even frivolous?task. Panache Desai offers a refreshing, surprisingly unusual approach to meet the challenges of the modern moment and heal the fractured self it produces.For Desai, the soul?whole, unbroken, at peace, and one with the life source?isn't a destination. It already exists within each of us, just waiting to be revealed. It is not something we have to work to develop?it is our birthright. And when we are in union with our soul, we experience a personal evolution that not only illuminates our individual cosmic purpose but helps us to engage the sense of purpose and presence necessary to remake the world itself.You Are Enough offers a straightforward, non-judgmental, and approachable process of revealing the soul, of coming into alignment and harmony with our true selves. Combining personal narrative, clear and inspiring philosophy, and prescriptive practices, it reveals that the way through is the way in?that the way through fear, self-doubt, and anxiety is accepting and embracing dissonance and emotional and psychological blockages, so that we can approach our lives and the world from a perspective that understands our fears are not who we are. Desai's goal is simple: to guide readers through radical self-acceptance toward a life of ultimate peace and fulfillment.Beautifully designed, this enlightening volume by a fresh voice shows us that while life may have caused us to forget our power, potential, light, and love, they are always there, just waiting to be discovered.
