The arts and crafts developed and practiced by the Indian peoples of North America varied widely among tribes of different geographical regions. Each tribe used the resources at hand — wood, stone, shell, bone, and other materials — to develop a craft technology that suited the needs of its people.
This carefully researched and informative book contains 39 detailed, accurately rendered illustrations (including 5 double-page spreads) that depict various North American Indian peoples engaged in typical craft activities. Ideal for coloring, the images show Native Americans building a Seminole house of palmetto leaves, making drums, constructing a bark canoe, painting tribal history on teepee coverings, making and painting ceramic pots, carving totem poles, making masks, tomahawks and clothing; weaving rugs and blankets, preparing hides, silversmithing and much more.
Extensive, fact-filled captions accompany the illustrations, making this an excellent educational resource as well as an entertaining coloring book.

When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the North of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. This is intensified by her tempestuous relationship with the mill-owner and self-made man John Thornton, as their fierce opposition over his treatment of his employees masks a deeper attraction.

For thousands of years, proud Indian civilizations flourished along the narrow strip of land stretching from southern Alaska to northern California. Nootka, Cowichan, Kwakiutl, Yurok, Chinook they called themselves — and their names still echo through the great, verdant forests.
In 33 impressive, ready-to-color line drawings, museum curator and noted illustrator David Rickman recaptures the spirit and richness of these and other Native American cultures — customs and traditions, religious lore, and distinctive art. Meticulously researched, crisply rendered illustrations depict the Northwest Coast Indians in authentic warrior dress, hunting for whale, weaving robes of rare beauty, staging elaborate ceremonials, and pursuing everyday activities. Full captions identify the tribe and the period — ranging from late eighteenth to early twentieth centuries — and note the changing lifestyles wrought by time and the coming of the Europeans.
For children and adults alike,
Northwest Coast Indians Coloring Book is an enlightening, enjoyable adventure into the rich past of some of the earliest Americans.

A Story of Sweden in the 16th Century Pastor Sten Nilson, a tall, noble-looking man, stood up to welcome his brother, with a smile on his lips and a glad light in his frank blue eyes. But the next moment he drew back disappointed, and even a little annoyed; for "mine host" was ushering in a stranger, an elderly man in a fur coat, holding by the hand a little boy about seven . . . [The boy asked] with a half timid, half confiding air, "What book is that?"
Surprised at the question from so young a child, the Pastor answered, "It is the Red Book, my son."
The boy looked up indignantly, all his shyness gone. " ’Tis not red," he said, " ’tis brown, nearly black. I thought pastors always spoke the truth."
