African Beads

Traore Issa

Author Profile

Glass bead roots can be traced back to ancient times. They
originated in Africa with gemstones, seashells, animal bones,
and teeth. Eventually, European powers sought trade with
Africa’s abundant resources and started producing the glass
beads favored by Africans. These trade beads then spreadthroughout the world.
This book is the first comprehensive publication to summarize
types of beads and their history spanning 100,000 years, theirrelationship with Europe, and also contemporary African beads.
This book can be enjoyed both as a reference for collectors andas a cultural anthropology. This book is the culmination of avaluable collection passed down through three generations,starting with the author’s grandfather. When you are finishedwith this book, you will surely understand the names, designs,
and history of trade beads.

Author Profile

Your perspective will dramatically improve just by harnessing the“power of green”!
“Green (referring to foliage and trees)” is often depicted as mere
background scenery and has not received as much attention as it
deserves, perhaps because it has always been relegated to a supportingrole. However, green has the power to enrich almost any artworkwith color, textures, warmth, and a sense of atmosphere. Anyone who
manages to harness the “power of green” will easily create sketcheswith a higher level of perspective.

Author Profile

The Corona virus pandemic caused us to re-evaluate our diet,searching out healthier alternatives. It’s a fact that people are
increasingly becoming interested in incorporating fish into theirdiet. While using simple fillets is fine, there is merit to being able
to “clean a fish” yourself. It is cheaper than purchasing fillets, andyou can make two or three dishes that incorporate the entire fish.
Above all, you will realize how fun it is to cook with a whole fish.
One of the appeals of cooking the whole fish is that you can enjoy
leftover bones by frying them and making bone broth!
This book is actually a guide to cooking fish by a highly
trusted culinary instructor, Fumiyo Kawakami. Kawakami
actually teaches a specialty fish cooking course! Rather thanjust purchasing fillets, it’s best to buy the whole fish from afishmonger, fillet it yourself into two or three cuts, and then use
those – and the rest of the fish – in a variety of dishes. The main
appeal of this book is that the repertoire of fish dishes – which was
actually slightly difficult to come up with – has been expanded toinclude Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine.

Vitamin Bl during fermentation and is consideredhealthy. Also, consuming nukazuke vegetables that
contains lactobacillus can be beneficial for improving one's
gut biome and overall health. This book is for beginners
who wish to start making nukazuke using basic vegetable,meat, and fish fermenting methods. It also presents
variations of unique nukazuke and recipes that use
