Since the beginning of time, people have seized upon “magical” objects to guard against danger, assure good luck, and gather strength along life’s journey. Amulets and talismans still possess this power—and this fascinating reference showcases ancient and revered examples from cultures throughout the world. They come from the goddesses of antiquity, Egypt, the I-Ching, Chinese zodiac, Celts, runes, and medieval Europe. Each symbol serves a different purpose: Udjat, the Egyptian Horus Eye, is the protective amulet, warding off evil and blindness, while the tai chi encircled by eight tri

The 1970s and 1980s saw the awakening of social awareness and political activism in Mexican-American communities. In San Diego, a group of Chicana women participated in a political theatre group whose plays addressed social, gender, and political issues of the working class and the Chicano Movement. In this collective memoir, seventeen women who were a part of Teatro de las Chicanas (later known as Teatro Laboral and Teatro Raices) come together to share why they joined the theatre and how it transformed their lives.

Where are the environmentalists? Where is the peace movement? The answer: They are everywhere. The award-winning sister-
