Introduce your child to parts of the face \- with a fantastic novelty mirror on every spread and a peekaboo finale!

The essays in this book are gathered together from the realms of art, literature, history, archaeology, philosophy and science. Together they weave a picture that gives us new insights into the mirror as a material object and as an image in art and texts. This interdisciplinary and innovative book raises important issues about the material life of an object and its intimate interrelations with socio-cultural imagery. Perceptions of the workings of our cognitive processes and of our subjectivity are shown to be dynamically interwoven with the technological and socio-cultural matrices of particular periods, whilst longer term continuities in the understanding and employment of the mirror reflect underlying continuities in the capacities and constraints of mirrors and of human subjects. This book demonstrates the active role imagery and technologies have always played in our thoughts, lives and worlds.

God wanted to make something so unique, so special, so much better than even the coolest animals on the planet. He wanted something like himself that he could love and be loved in return. So, he looked in the mirror and decided to make people, in his image. Some people are one color, some are another color. Some people are short, others are tall. But, we're all just right and equally loved by God. The Mirror conveys a powerful message that combats the current culture of racism, comparison, and low self-esteem. It gives impressionable little minds a firm foundation for navigating these issues from a Christian worldview. The book celebrates each child in the unique way he or she was created and encourages kids to love themselves and their neighbors, just as they are loved by their creator.

This engaging and witty cultural history traces the evolution of the mirror from antiquity to the present day, illustrating its journey from wondrous object to ordinary trinket. With its earliest invention, the mirror allowed us to gaze upon ourselves, bestowing a power both fascinating and terrifying.
