HUMANITY April 2024
The history of the magazine begins in 2020 (although the idea originated in 2019), then it was born in the form of an electronic newspaper DEMO GOG, with the prospect of further printing on paper. Initially, this newspaper was planned as a student media, but during the evolutionary process, after 20 issues, it changed its subject and audience, and in the fall of 2020, the newspaper acquired the appearance of a magazine with a branded cover, which has reached today almost unchanged. The key moment was the merger with the Life Line magazine, which had previously been published by the charity foundation Every Child's Life Line (ECLF). Since then, the main topics of the magazine have become not only creativity and literature, but also charity. The main changes were the change of the subject to literary and creative and the removal of age (everyone, not just students) and territorial (not only Russia, but all countries of the world) restrictions for the participants of the magazine.Today, Humanity magazine is a unique English-language media that is distributed worldwide and is available in any country when purchased from the online store of the Ukiyoto publishing house. Each issue of the magazine takes place with the participation of the Russian, Vietnamese and Serbian Writers' Unions. Also, each issue of the magazine is accompanied by articles from the Life Line Foundation (ECLF) and the Poetry Clinic rubric. The standard volume is 90 pages. The magazine presents all continents in the form of separate headings and thus each issue of the magazine covers the whole world!The magazine constantly continues to develop, works on connecting and publishing new authors, establishes communication and friendly relations between poets from all over the world and strives to increase circulation.

Tools That Shaped Our Early Nation
This book was an idea that my mother gave me. She said "Why don't you do a book on the old-fashioned tools and old-fashioned ways from the past, like a century ago? That was a little over three years ago. Just recently I decided to go ahead and finish working on this informative composite of what our ancestors used way back in their days of growing up in our country. I still have the plow and corn shucker that came from my mother's house. Growing up in our family was very enlightening because we would always hear about what it was like when our parents grew up and some of the funny stories. I hope that all parents and grandparents will share this with their children and grandchildren.

Oriental Rugs
A must-have reference to the highly confusing rug terminology used across the globe--from Morocco to Turkey, Persia and the Caucasus region to Central Asia, India and China! This monumental reference work--coveted by collectors and scholars alike--remains to fill an important gap in the available literature. Lavishly illustrated with over 1000 photographs and drawings, it offers clear and precise definitions for the rug and textile terms used across a broad swath of the globe--from Morocco to Turkey, Persia, the Caucasus region, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and China. It covers priceless museum-quality rugs as well as modern centers of production, and draws on classical scholarship as well as current terms used by producers and traders today. It focuses on the rich hand-knotting and hand-weaving traditions of the Near East and Central Asia, and also includes some Scandinavian and Native American weavings. Rug terms are confusing; the same rug is often called by a baffling array of different names. Some of these refer to a specific geographic or ethnic origin, while others refer to a particular function, method of production or material. This book makes all these terms accessible and understandable, and aids researchers and collectors by precisely identifying each region and ethnic group and explaining the designs, motifs and materials typically used there. It highlights rugs of particular significance and explains technical terms in use by local producers and traders.

Precious
A renowned jewelry expert recounts her career working with nature's most extraordinary treasures--gemstones--and traces these rare jewels from ancient Egyptian records through the high-stakes auctions of today. "Engaging and illuminating, Precious is a master class in the history of gems."--Francesca Cartier Brickell, author of The Cartiers Helen Molesworth has been captivated by precious stones since early childhood but she struggled to join the gemstone industry, having no connections to the few family-run companies that have dominated the field for centuries. She persevered, and more than two decades later, Molesworth is now an international authority hired to appraise the extraordinary jewelry of such clients as the British royal family. Precious is packed with inside stories about fabulous jewels associated with generations of celebrities, from Cleopatra (emerald) to Catherine, Princess of Wales (sapphire); from Marilyn Monroe (pearl) to Beyonc矇 (garnet); from Jackie O (pearl) to Lady Gaga (diamond); and from Marie Antoinette (pearl) to Elizabeth Taylor (pearl, ruby, and emerald)! As Molesworth tells it, the history of gemstones is the history of humanity. And so she journeys the world, navigating African diamond mines, Colombian emerald mines, and the sapphire-rich rivers of Sri Lanka to study gems at their source. She has selected ten of nature's most dazzling gems, tracing their discovery to when these cut-and-polished masterpieces first adorned empresses and kings. From the stories of a priceless emerald watch hidden under floorboards for centuries to the common quartz fashioned into world-famous royal jewels, and diamonds selling for multi-millions, Precious is not just a chronicle of archeology and geology, high society and high finance, it's the story of our timeless ambition to make--and wear--something beautiful.

Apacheria Gold
Apacheria is an antiquated term referring to the lands inhabited-and often ruled-by the Apache in the 19th Century. It spanned portions of Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Within Apacheria once existed a golden triangle extending from Silver City and Grants in New Mexico to Alpine, Arizona. Somewhere in this nebulous triangle existed the Lost Adams Diggings, an enchanted canyon that "cried tears of gold." As such, any gold strike in the region was often attributed to the lost diggings. And, to the chagrin of the Apache, gold-hungry prospectors ravaged their lands in search of the precious ore. In the pages ahead are tales of Apache warriors who killed miners with golden bullets, a phantom mountain haunted by a hairy giant, lakes of gold frequented by the Navajo, a Masonic Apache brotherhood guarding their "Golden Mountain," plus the secret treasure caches of the great Apache warriors Geronimo, Juh, and Mangas Coloradas among many others.
