Sinopsis

The Turner's Companion is a seminal work in the field of woodworking, specifically focusing on the art of turning'Äîa craft that has both aesthetic and functional implications. Written in an accessible yet informative style, this instructional guide elucidates various techniques of concentric, elliptic, and eccentric turning, enhancing the reader'Äôs understanding of the tools and methodologies essential for mastering these forms. The text is not only a manual but also a historical document, reflecting the period's burgeoning interest in craftsmanship and the intricacies of design, likely influenced by advancements in industrial technology during the 19th century. Though the author remains anonymous, The Turner's Companion resonates with the values and experiences typical of skilled artisans of the time. The absence of personal identification may suggest a collective wisdom of trade masters or an intention to focus solely on the craft itself rather than individual fame. This anonymity exemplifies the democratic spirit of craftsmanship, where the sharing of knowledge transcends the creator'Äôs identity and emphasizes the collaborative nature of skill acquisition and dissemination. Highly recommended for both novices and seasoned woodworkers, The Turner's Companion is a treasure trove of practical insights and technical expertise. Its combination of clear instructions and historical context makes it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the art of turning, while also serving as a reminder of the beauty and complexity inherent in handmade objects.

    A groundbreaking collection of essays about food and its powerful link to identity, culture and community, from twenty exciting voices around the world.
    We hear about a family ritual of drying mango and pickling limes in India, and the search for a father's favourite hotdog in North Carolina. We investigate Latino food in cinema and vegetarianism in Buddhist diets, the cultural appropriation of Chinese food and the effect of gentrification on Black communities. And, we learn about the grassroots organisations fighting for change, for equality for farmers and for better mental health provisions in kitchens, where toxicity and microaggressions are rife.
    Edited by chef and activist Zoe Adjonyoh, and featuring a foreword by acclaimed author and broadcaster Yasmin Khan, Serving Up is an electric, urgent anthology campaigning for representation around our dinner tables, wherever that dinner table may be. 
    Includes essays from: Abigail Koffler, Apoorva Sripathi, Chris Nigro, Cynthia Greenlee, Duron Chavis, Fatima Tarkleman, Hassel Aviles, Izzie Ramirez, Lee Tran Lam, Lenore Adkins and others.

    A classic Laurel and Hardy routine. 
    Laurel and Hardy were a British-American comedy duo act during the early era of American cinema, consisting of Englishman Stan Laurel (1890–1965) and American Oliver Hardy (1892–1957). Starting their career as a duo in the silent film era, they later successfully transitioned to "talkies.” From the late 1920s to the mid-1950s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully.
