Book Description
When The Rainbow Bends is a true story about the faith and courage of two survivors, a mother and her son, who exchanged hundreds of letters that reveal the trials and traumas, and love and respect for each other. Everyone who has experienced death of a loved one will benefit from Ms.Jewett's positive approach to life and will be encouraged to lift their consciousness-level and get on with life. "Fascinating and so poignant! I finished it on a day when the closing words of encouragement to the reader were most appreciated, needed and taken to heart and I know that others will be touched by them as well. The courage of mother and son in the face of unbelievable adversity will give inspiration to all who read the book. What comes across most clearly is the love and support for each other--and that is a magnificent thing."--Judith Geller, author "The ending is perfect. Joan's advice on coping with the death of a loved one can enrich the lives of many people when those thoughts are put into action. Her attitude is remarkable."--Norma Miller, society editor

Book Description
Venerated as god and goddess, feared as demon and pestilence, trusted as battle omen, and used as a proving ground for optical theories, the rainbow's image is woven into the fabric of our past and present. From antiquity to the nineteenth century, the rainbow has played a vital role in both inspiring and testing new ideas about the physical world. Although scientists today understand the rainbow's underlying optics fairly well, its subtle variability in nature has yet to be fully explained. Throughout history the rainbow has been seen primarily as a symbol&—of peace, covenant, or divine sanction&—rather than as a natural phenomenon. Lee and Fraser discuss the role the rainbow has played in societies throughout the ages, contrasting its guises as a sign of optimism, bearer of Greek gods' messages of war and retribution, and a symbol of the Judeo-Christian bridge to the divine. The authors traverse the bridges between the rainbow's various roles as they explore its scientific, artistic, and folkloric visions. This unique book, exploring the rainbow from the perspectives of atmospheric optics, art history, color theory, and mythology, will inspire readers to gaze at the rainbow anew.
