Sinopsis

Whether experienced or new to woodcarving, you are sure to appreciate the in-depth knowledge of the art form from author David Young. The book begins with information on what you need to know to start whittling including tools, materials, knife sharpening, and techniques. Next, David covers finishing your project with instructions for his simple painting technique to achieve professional-looking results. Using these techniques, you'll then be ready to start whittling the 13 beautifully illustrated projects which range in difficulty, building on the skills and techniques used in each. You'll start with projects that build upon each other, adding a new technique and skill for each. You are then ready to start the next set of simple projects, further refining your whittling skills. You're now ready for the step-up projects that include a pineapple, a vase with a rose, and a wood spirit. Each project uses a 1" x 1" x 'varying length' block and can be completed in less than an hour. The scale of the projects and the use of minimal tools and supplies make carving the projects possible in virtually any space or location.

    Mexico’s economic history is a fascinating journey shaped by diverse influences, from the ancient Aztec empire to the complexities of the modern global economy. Over the centuries, Mexico has experienced dramatic transformations, driven by conquests, colonial rule, revolutions, and economic policies that have defined its growth and challenges. Understanding the evolution of Mexico’s economy requires examining its foundations, the role of geography and natural resources, and the early trade networks that set the stage for future economic systems.  
    The foundations of Mexico’s economy date back to the indigenous civilizations that thrived long before the Spanish conquest. The Aztecs, in particular, established a sophisticated economic system based on agriculture, trade, and tribute collection. Markets flourished in major cities like Tenochtitlán, where goods from across Mesoamerica were exchanged. The Aztec economy was not just a local system but a well-organized network that connected distant regions, allowing the movement of resources such as cacao, textiles, and obsidian. This structure provided a strong economic base, but it also made the region vulnerable to external forces, particularly the arrival of the Spanish.  
    Geography and natural resources have played a crucial role in shaping Mexico’s economic development. The country’s vast landscapes include fertile valleys, mineral-rich mountains, and long coastlines, all of which have influenced economic activities throughout history. The presence of silver, for example, turned Mexico into one of the most important centers of global trade during the colonial period. However, while natural resources have been a source of wealth, they have also led to economic dependency and external exploitation, shaping Mexico’s economic struggles even in modern times.

    Not That Wheel Jesus! - Stories...

    From the bestselling author of Holy Hot Mess, a laugh-out-loud look at what happens when life goes a direction we didn't expect and we are forced to reconsider the beliefs, assumptions, and stories that have always steered our course.  Mary Katherine Backstrom grew up the most basic of all youth group kids—pH level 14—and her faith only grew as she led youth ministry, served as a missionary, and went on to become a bestselling Christian author. She knew all the practiced, perfect Sunday school answers and was driving happily down the straight and narrow, until one day her young son asked a simple question: will my Jewish best friend go to hell? In the months and years that followed, that single question continued to snowball. MK challenged and reconsidered every part of the faith she’d been raised to accept so completely. Not That Wheel, Jesus! is Mary Katherine’s hilarious journey from certainty to doubt to going nuclear on the socials (“it was my heresy era”), and then of slowly and painfully finding her way back to a different, less defined faith. It’s the heartfelt and achingly honest story of a spirituality that went off the road and crashed and burned in spectacular fashion, right before God and everybody. And then, slowly, through grace and plenty of therapy, grew richer and deeper than she ever could have imagined.
