Summary

Iron Forging Trade explores the world of blacksmithing, revealing its importance to historical village life. This book examines how iron forging techniques evolved, the role of family workshops, and the trade's overall impact on society. Blacksmiths were not just metalworkers; they were essential to their communities, crafting everything from tools to hardware. Interestingly, the transmission of skills often occurred within families, with knowledge passed down through generations. The book highlights how blacksmithing underpinned technological advancement and economic stability in pre-industrial communities.

 
It begins by tracing ironworking's historical development, then examines family workshops, using historical records and archaeological findings to illustrate their dynamics. The final section broadens the scope to consider the blacksmith's impact on agriculture, construction, and daily life, revealing how blacksmiths fostered community identity and contributed to the local economy.

    As a literary agent, Joy Eggerichs Reed sees book proposals that, unfortunately, she writes off after about sixty seconds of skimming. 
    While that may sound harsh, there are specific things she looks for that show her immediately how seriously a writer takes their goals of getting published. 
    Even though the first steps of writing and figuring out how to publish a book can feel daunting, this book will not only give you everything you need for an incredible proposal, but demystify the publishing process, tell you how to market yourself authentically (and enjoyably), and cheer you on with practical next steps as you decide which publishing route is best for you. 
    And, Joy wants to make this whole process FUN. 
    This is an upbeat 30-day guide with easy to follow examples, stories, and funny illustrations (that you're more than welcome to color in because your brain will need a break), as well as insider knowledge about how to catch an agent's eye, how to land your dream endorsement and how to wildly increase your chances of getting a book deal. 
    Non-fiction, memoir, or novel—this book will help authors (especially first-timers) who have questions and feel alone in the writing process. Let Joy be your (slightly aggressive) friend who will encourage you, tell you what to do, and leave you feeling oh-so-confident because of all the progress you've made by day 30. If you let this book guide you, you will close the last page, and involuntarily shout, "WOW, I did that!" 
    You’ll also get to know way more about Joy’s personal life than you probably wanted

    Five Women. A Crumbling City. A Daring Flight to Freedom. 
     
    August 2021. The fall of Kabul.  
    Twenty years after they were defeated, the Taliban storms Afghanistan's capital, claiming every piece of land they pass and plunging the city into chaos. 
    For Anjali and four other women, who were all from different parts of the world and worked together at the Anglo-American University of Kabul, this moment marks the beginning of a harrowing journey. Forced into hiding, hunted for their work at the University, and unsure of whom to trust, knowing betrayal is just a whisper away, they are bound by one urgent impetus: to get out alive. 
    What unfolds is an inspiring story of resistance and survival, furtive phone calls, forged documents and midnight dashes through enemy territory-and the relentless courage of women who refuse to be silenced. 
    Searing and utterly gripping, Escape from Kabul is at once an extraordinary first-person account of sisterhood in crisis as well as a meditation on the meaning of freedom, and what it takes to reclaim agency when the world closes in.
