Summary

Ink Making Methods explores the rich history and complex chemistry behind ink, tracing its evolution from ancient soot-based concoctions to modern, chemically sophisticated formulas. The book uniquely blends art history and archival science, examining how different ink recipes influenced manuscript production and artistic techniques across civilizations. Early inks, for instance, relied on readily available materials like gum Arabic as binders, significantly shaping writing styles of the time. The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with ancient inks and their cultural significance, then moving to the alchemical innovations of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, exemplified by the widespread use of iron gall ink. This type of ink, while historically important, is known for its corrosive effect on parchment. The book culminates in an exploration of modern ink chemistry, detailing the role of synthetic dyes and pigments while also addressing the environmental impact of ink production. Throughout, the book combines historical accounts, scientific data, and artistic analyses to provide a comprehensive understanding.

    CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota's memoir Combat Love is her story of growing up longing for stability and attachment as the foundation of her family crumbled. Set on the Jersey Shore in the free-range 1980s, Camerota finds the belonging she craves courtesy of a local punk rock band named Shrapnel and their diehard fans. Combat Love chronicles her near-misses and misadventures at clubs like CBGB and Max's Kansas City, coupled with the sex, drugs, and punk rock of 1980s New Jersey. By the time she leaves home at sixteen, it feels like home had left her long ago. 
     
      
     
    Combat Love is also the story of two women, mother and daughter, trying to forge their own paths and independence, and find their own happiness, success, and wholeness. Camerota's story searches for the line between shelter and risk, nurture and neglect, parenting and personal freedom. What are we willing to sacrifice for self-actualization and happiness? What if the answer is your mother, or your daughter? 
     
      
     
    The two-time Emmy-award-winning Camerota retraces her steps down an often gritty path toward her dream of becoming a journalist. At times heartbreaking and pulse-pounding, Combat Love is an inspiration for anyone who's ever searched for that elusive place called home.
