| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Russian culture is associated with the country of Russia and, sometimes, specifically with ethnic Russians. It has a rich history and can boast a long tradition of excellence in every aspect of arts, especially handicrafts and toys. This book studies socio-cultural connections of Russian handicrafts and toys like Russian lacquer art, Zhostovo painting, the matryoshka doll, and petrushka. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
