Book Description

The perfect gift for moon and space enthusiasts, a collection of photographs and global folklore capturing Earth’s only natural satellite. From Strawberry to Dragon, Harvest to Storm, the full moon is known by many names around the world and across the seasons, and each name has a story behind it. This beautiful photographic celebration of our closest celestial neighbor captures the visual wonder and the connection we feel to the moon. Including three dozen folk names and short evocative explanations drawn from Native American, Inuit, Celtic, medieval English, Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, and pagan cultures, Seasons of the Moon presents an inspired visual pairing for each, taken in the month the folk name represents. This portrait of our eternal fascination with the moon is a welcome companion as we look to the sky throughout the seasons.

Book Description

Goldwell's fantasy book series Dragon Keepers can be considered a prelude for young readers before reading the Harry Potter series. This dragon fantasy book series is imaginative and adventure-filled. Dragon Keepers is a dragon book series by Bruce Goldwell whose main character is Merlin the Wizard. It is written in third-person narrative. The narrative is about the fantasy life of Merlin which includes dragons, fairies, mermaids, unicorns, and other fantasy creatures popular in mythology around the world. While the story uses aspects of Arthurian legend, much of the story is based on fantasy characters and events made up by the author. "The author has a very wise intention for choosing the fantasy world, a fantasy genre illustrates a gateway to stories and imagination that is beyond the narrow convention of this known world. The series will certainly allow the readers to escape from the reality and get back to the world of mystery. Through the characters, readers often find crisis, inequality, pain, and loss, those issues are valid and challenging ones that we are confronted with in our real world, whether as individuals or socially. More importantly, using the fantasy world, the author tries to engage more connectivity with those issues and instruct how to avoid them in a realistic setting." - The Ritz Herald, Article April 2022 ** Dragon Keepers is a dragon fantasy book series for teens and adults. The series follows the life of Merlin the Magician. In Book I, Merlin turns 13 years old and is made an official dragon keeper, a position that requires him to learn how to control and care for dragons. The story includes a romance between Merlin and a young girl from the World of Dragons named Aeem. This fantasy book series is for kids 9-13, however, it can be enjoyed by teens of any age as well as adults.**

Book Description

This striking work, prepared through the enthusiasm of Professor Conder, who was Professor of Art and Architecture to the Japanese Government, is particularly important as it includes six woodblocks by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, deemed to be perhaps the finest print designer of the period (1839-1892) - a Kuniyoshi pupil who stands almost alone in expressing ukiyo-e vigor during the years of social, political and artistic upheaval.
