Reflections: A Collection Of Poems is about past events and situations that have had a profound effect on the author. Some of these events and situations occurred a long time ago, and some happened recently. Some the author heard about, some she read about, and some she experienced. All of the poems were written for African Americans to inspire them to be motivated to live life well. While the poems are intended for African Americans, some are directed to those outside of the African American community to show the effects of racism. Many of the poems are about the blessings we have received. Most provide a glimpse of the past to recall a time when morals, religion and spirituality were the center of most folk lives. They are about a time when neighbors knew each other and did what they could to strengthen each other. They let the reader know that the past is the past, and each day brings a new beginning.

War was a constant activity, almost a staple livelihood, in the cities of ancient Greece, and many public festivals served to promote and celebrate war. They entailed reunions of the whole community, often at the new year, for enrolling citizens or conducting games. Noel Robertson focuses on such festivals in Athens, Aprta, Argos, and two smaller centres, in order to reconstruct the social conditions reflected in the festival programs and settings. He begins with a close analysis of the extant evidence, bringing together for the first time the many small, scattered indications in familiar sources. He uses in addition new epigraphic and archaeological evidence which has recently come to light at Athens. Since ritual is by definition unchanging, public festivals can disclose earlier stages of social organization. Robertson also shows how the festivals gave rise, by way of aetiology (explanatory tales or legends), to some persistent misconceptions about the past.

The festival folktales in this collection take readers of all ages on a fascinating journey to the remote villages of the Dai, Xizang, Miao, and Hani, four minority groups of southwest China. In addition to the Han (ethnic Chinese) majority, 55 national minority groups live within China's borders, each with its own language, beliefs, festivals, and folktales. The delightful and entertaining legends behind the Dai Water Splashing Festival, the Xizang Bathing Festival, the Miao Lusheng Fair, and the Hani New Year celebration reflect the values and customs of these diverse nationalities. A retelling of each legend is followed by a colorful description of the festival and how it is celebrated today and accompanied by stunning illustrations by award-winning artist Li Ji.

Have you heard the one about the ticket-less punter who was so desperate to get into the Glastonbury Festival that he hired a small plane and parachuted into the site? And what about the guy who dropped his false leg into the stinky depths of a Glastonbury toilet? The Glastonbury Festival is steeped in myths and legends and author Marc Leverton has collected together the pick of them. Every entry is accompanied by a photograph capturing the moment. Marc Leverton is a seasoned Glastonbury Festival goer and is the author of Banksy Myths & Legends which sold well in the UK and the USA. In the course of his research he has uncovered a wealth of Glastonbury rumours and myths. Or are they? Some of the stories are undoubtedly true, some of the recollections are decidedly hazy but many of the most unlikely tales are true stories. Surely it can't be the case that in a hot year a tanker usually used to suck waste out of the toilets was filled with water and sent out to damp down the dusty roads. But the wrong tanker was dispatched and instead of spraying water - Myth or legend? you decide.

Excerpt from Armenian Legends and Festivals It must, therefore, be evident that neither Part One on legends, nor Part Two on festivals, is exhaustive, and this is necessarily so, not only because of my selective plan, but also because much of the work on this and kindred subjects has been done by the French, and is available only on the continent. All of the sources used are, however, original in two possible constructions of the term; that is, they are the works of Armenians who have lived for many years in their native land, or of foreigners, generally French or English, who have traveled through the country and gathered their material first hand. A large portion of this matter I have been able to check up and add to through my wife, an Armenian, who lived in Constantinople most of her life, and who is naturally versed in the folk-lore of her native land. While this has been the chief source of my interest, it is not the only one, for during my three years' work in Beirut, Syria, I became acquainted with many Armenians.
