Sinossi

Scissors Cut Clean explores the fascinating history and design evolution of scissors, transforming our understanding of this seemingly simple cutting tool. From ancient Egypt, where early scissor-like tools emerged around 1500 BCE, to modern surgical and industrial applications, the book traces how necessity and ingenuity shaped their form and function. Early scissors were not pivot-based but resembled tweezers; the invention of the pivot was a pivotal moment, enabling greater control and cutting force. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with archaeological evidence of the earliest forms and moving through the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, highlighting regional variations and manufacturing techniques. Readers will discover how scissor design reflects broader technological and societal progress. The book shows how scissors are a microcosm of tool evolution, influencing industries from textile production to hairdressing, and emphasizing the human element in design.

The Hiramic Legend

Manly Palmer Hall

The Masonic legend of the building of Solomon's Temple does not in every particular parallel the Scriptural version, especially in those portions relating to CHiram Abiff. According to the Biblical account, this Master workman returned to his own country; in the Masonic allegory he is foully murdered. On this point A. E. Waite, in his New Encyclopædia of Freemasonry, makes the following explanatory comment: 
"The legend of the Master-Builder is the great allegory of Masonry. It happens that his figurative story is grounded on the fact of a personality mentioned in Holy Scripture, but this historical background is of the accidents and not the essence; the significance is in the allegory and not in any point of history which may lie behind it."

On the Duty of Civil...

Henry David Thoreau

ivil Disobedience (Resistance to Civil Government) is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican–American War. (Summary by Wikipedia)
