"Henna, the book, is about the magic of henna. The community and the sacred body art ceremonies that create rituals and connected human experiences. It includes history (or as cleverly altered in the title HERstory) of henna, from various resources. It's also a reference for the henna paste recipes, henna cone making and rituals associated with henna. Though, the most valuable resource in this book might be the 50+ pages of illustrations of henna designs often broken down for any skill level and the reference images of henna designs on physical bodies."--Amazon.com.

Take a colorful walk through human ingenuity. Humans have been unpacking the earth to use pigments since cavemen times. Starting out from surface pigments for cave paintings, we’ve dug deep for minerals, mined oceans for colors and exploited the world of plants and animals. Our accidental fumbles have given birth to a whole family of brilliant blues that grace our museums, mansions and motorcars. We’ve turned waste materials into a whole rainbow of tints and hues to color our clothes, our food and ourselves. With the snip of a genetic scissor, we’ve harnessed bacteria to gift us with “greener” blue jeans and dazzling dashikis. As the pigments march on into the future, who knows what new and exciting inventions will emerge? Mary Virginia Orna, a world-recognized expert on color, will lead you through an illuminating journey exploring the science behind pigments. Pausing for reflections en route to share stories around pigment use and discoveries informed by history, religion, sociology and human endeavour, this book will have you absorbing science and regaling tales. Jam packed with nuggets of information, March of the Pigments will have the curiously minded and the expert scientist turning pages to discover more.
