On the sixtieth anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, Silence to Light illuminates the tumultuous period, and the aftermath of World War II and the war in Asia. Through fiction, memoirs, film scripts, poetry, and manga (Japanese cartoons), the volume brings to light the personal and communal memories that have disappeared into silence. Readers get a new and vivid perspective on such events as the Manchurian Incident, the rape of Nanking, Japanese American internment, and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The authors include well-know Japanese figures, such as Yukio Mishima and Dazai Osamu, and such contemporary authors as Hayashi Kyoko, Choko Ishigaki, and Keiji Nakazawa. American authors adding their perspective include Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, Donald Ritchie, and Gladys Swan. Work by Linda Gregg, Martha Zweig, and other American authors is also included.

"There is a new trend in rug hooking a growing desire to express one's own favorite images, stories, and identity. Tamara Pavich wrote this book for rug hookers who wish to take their fiber art a little deeper through designing. Drawing on her own experience and the hooked rugs of friends and teachers, she has written a book to help stimulate our imaginations, make us comfortable with drawing, and inspire us. She presents thirty-six design ideas, ranging from simple to complex, to get us started. Nearly fifty rug hookers and well over a hundred original designs are featured in this book, the product of many imaginations."--Amazon
