Fairy tales, fables, myths and folk tales from around the world. Myths And Folk-Tales Of The Russians, Western Slavs, And Magyars | by Jeremiah Curtin A Few tens of years ago it was all-important to understand and explain the brotherhood and blood-bond of Aryan nations, and their relation to the Semitic race; to discover and set forth the meaning of that which in mental work, historic strivings, and spiritual ideals ties the historic nations to one another. At the present time this work is done, if not completely, at least measurably well, and a new work awaits us, to demonstrate that there is a higher and a mightier bond, - the relationship of created things with one another, and their inseverable connection with That which some men reverence as God, but which other men call the Unknowable, the Unseen. http://chestofbooks.com/fairy-tale/index.html

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home". -- Twyla Tharp. Get your art cravings satisfied with Art and Photography Books. Art Principles In Portrait Photography | by Otto Walter Beck Art in photography is possible only in an extension of the methods known and in the employment of new processes to effect a manipulation of the photo-image. When the tool is made so pliable that it records more than the surface appearance of things, when the personal element enters to give life to the accurate records, the present limitations of impersonal representation are removed from photography, and its large true sphere of influence opens.

The American Heritage Virtual Archive Project a collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, Duke University, and the University of Virginia is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities . The Project is creating a shared database of EAD-encoded finding aids describing and providing access to collections documenting American history and culture. The primary goal of this project will be the development of a demonstration system, which will also provide a test bed to evaluate both the effectiveness of the prototype's "virtual archive" in providing access to distributed digital library resources, and the feasibility of the decentralized production methods of the project.
