"For centuries, poets, scientists, philosophers, and worshippers have pondered the moon under its serene light - and compiled in this volume is an enthralling collection of the verse, philosophy, psalms, and proverbs that the moon has inspired. Graced with delicate illustrations of moon symbols and the moon itself in every phase of its eternal cycle, accompanied by a lunar calendar and a guide to the world's moon goddesses and gods, this collection - including the writings of Galileo and Robert Frost, the psalmists of the Bible and the Vedic poets - is a lovely and intriguing harvest of lunar wisdom, moon lore, and praise for the silver queen of the heavens."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In Praise of the Silver Lamp of Night

Moon

"Gathered here are the most beautiful words ever spoken in honor of the awesome star at the center of our days. Prayers and song, poems and proverbs both ancient and modern - the words of mystics, poets, saints, and scientists raised in praise of the sun. Copernicus and Dylan Thomas, Rumi and St. Francis of Assisi, Emily Dickinson and ancient Celtic and Native American prayers: all celebrate both the world and the mystical sun that brings us wisdom, knowledge, and insight. Together with a Sun Calendar of solar movements and sun festivals, a glossary of the world's sun gods, and drawings of sun symbols, their voices are the world's hymn to its parent and creator, the golden sun."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Sara Little Turnbull was a designer, an observer, a mentor, and not afraid to cause a little trouble while making the world a better place. As a global traveler, she made connections between people and found wonder in the everyday objects they hold dear. As a very petite female designer in the world of large men, Sara used her unique perspective and curiosity to design a wide range of revolutionary products-from facemasks to cookware to astronaut suits-and to encourage others to see the world through new eyes. Sara was a mentor to designers of all ages and in Lettuce Get in Trouble, she helps children understand the basics of design: observing the world around them, asking questions, and trying out new things. One day, the Ministry of Food asks Sara Little to convince the children to eat more vegetables. Instead of offering a stern lecture, however, Sara Little brings her young friends to her Little Lab to explore the colors and shapes of food and why we eat anything at all. Together they design a grand event, inviting children to gather, play, and design tasty new creations.
