English and American tool builders

Joseph Wickham Roe

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In 'English and American Tool Builders,' Joseph Wickham Roe meticulously charts the evolution of tool manufacturing in the English and American contexts from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. The book presents a detailed examination of the technological innovations and the craftsmen behind them, highlighting the interplay between industrial growth and artisanal skill. Roe employs a scholarly yet accessible prose style, infused with rich historical context and technical insights, making it an invaluable resource for both historians and industry professionals. The work encapsulates the rise of mechanization while celebrating the artistry inherent in tool making, underscoring a period of profound change in industrial society. Joseph Wickham Roe, an astute scholar of industrial history and a toolmaker himself, brings a unique perspective to this study. His firsthand experience in the field provides authenticity to his analysis, while his extensive research unearths lesser-known narratives of craftsmen that shaped the industry. Roe's background lends not only depth to his arguments but also an appreciation for the significance of manual skill in an era increasingly leaning toward automation. I highly recommend 'English and American Tool Builders' to anyone with an interest in the historical evolution of technology, craftsmanship, and industrial innovation. This work serves as both a scholarly reference and a compelling narrative that will engage historians, students, and practitioners alike, enriching their understanding of how these traditional crafts laid the foundation for modern manufacturing.

Fashion After Fifty - A Guide to...

Kaaren Hale

The trouble with being over fifty is that everything starts to change. By sixty, gravity has started to pull hard and by seventy there is an urgent need to cover up some of the wobbly bits. The female ageing process has not been helped by society’s worship of youth and airbrushed beauty. Yet despite the youth-obsessed society of which the fashion industry is only one reflection, women continue to need to feel good about themselves, to nurture their self-confidence; to re-educate themselves about what works and why, to seek new doyennes of style and to retain beauty that is attainable past the first blush of youth.
In this timely new edition of her tongue-in-cheek look at the fashion world, Kaaren Hale gives us her take on the industry and how to confidently find your own style in an ever-changing and confusing landscape.The women of her generation are the product of the conservative Fifties, the Swinging Sixties, the boom-boom Eighties and sober Nineties. They have enjoyed many heydays and aren’t ready to give up just yet. So why is it that the fashion industry, with few exceptions, directs all its ideas to the very young?
Although the lack of style mentors and fashion choices is disheartening, women do not have to fill their wardrobes with dreary clothes, insensitive to the high-spirited girl inside them who still craves fashion adventure. They may not have Donna Karan to guide them personally through the minefield of middle age, but they can learn from their peers who already know how to do it – and enjoy the ride. This is a book for a generation of women that has done it all, seen it all and still wants to look – and feel – good.
