Sinossi

Rope Twisting Art explores the rich history and enduring significance of rope making, revealing its profound impact on human civilization. From ancient hunter-gatherers to seafaring explorers, rope has been an indispensable tool. Did you know that the strength and reliability of ropes directly influenced the success of maritime trade and exploration? Or that different cultures developed unique twisting techniques based on locally available natural fibers? This book not only uncovers these fascinating historical facts but also delves into the practical applications of rope making.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the basic principles of fiber selection and preparation, then moving through various techniques from hand-twisting to early machines. Each chapter expands on methods for creating ropes, highlighting regional variations and cultural practices. By combining historical research with hands-on instruction, Rope Twisting Art offers a unique perspective, emphasizing the use of sustainable natural fibers and providing practical projects for readers to reconnect with this traditional craft.

    You think transformation is pretty? Think again. Just like the messy goo a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly, human transformation is equally "gooey." Rachel Burr’s story is filled with mishaps, mistakes, misadventures, and… yes, mess. But it’s not all slog. There are also triumphs and growth in Butterfly Goo as Burr takes you on a hilarious and poignant sightseeing tour of her own transformative journey. 
    With important lessons/chapter takeaways and experiential exercises for you to try, this book that's part memoir and part self-help will make you think about where your life is working and where it isn’t. Maybe you’re stuck in comfortable discomfort or searching for something, but you don’t know what it is. Maybe you want to make a change, but you’re afraid you’ll fail. Worse, maybe you think you aren’t good enough, smart enough, or just not enough, so you feel stuck. 
    As a successful executive coach and people expert, Burr has the experience you’d look for to lead you through change. But her most important credential is having confronted and survived her own fears, challenges, and reluctant decisions to emerge out the other side. 
    Don’t get us wrong: Butterfly Goo won’t create the change you’re looking for. Only you can do that. But it just might inspire you to step into the mess of your own transformative journey. After all, as Burr found out, you have to go through the goo before you can spread your wings.

  • Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How Rousseau Invented Modern Society While Failing at Basic Human Decency - cover

    Noble Savage Deadbeat Dad - How...

    In this mercilessly funny takedown, Jean-Jacques Rousseau—history's most insufferable philosopher—gets the roasting he so richly deserves. "Noble Savage, Deadbeat Dad" exposes the spectacular hypocrisy of a man who abandoned five children at orphanages while writing the definitive guide to education, preached natural virtue while exposing himself to strangers, and railed against wealth while living off rich patrons. 
    Laugh out loud as we dissect Rousseau's greatest contradictions: his fetishization of indigenous cultures (without meeting any actual indigenous people), his belief that society corrupts natural goodness (while engaging in deeply unnatural bedroom activities), and his conviction that he alone understood true freedom (while being pathologically dependent on others for basic survival). 
    This savagely irreverent guide reveals how a paranoid, chronically constipated Swiss misanthrope somehow managed to inspire both democracy AND totalitarianism between bouts of accusing everyone he met of conspiring against him. With brutal honesty and razor-sharp wit, we explore how Rousseau's complete disaster of a personal life somehow produced philosophical insights that still haunt us today—especially when we complain about technology ruining society while scrolling through social media. 
    Perfect for philosophy students in desperate need of comic relief, or anyone who enjoys watching narcissistic geniuses get thoroughly eviscerated. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable laughter and concerned looks from serious academics.

    Science Be Dammed - How Ignoring...

    Science Be Dammed is an alarming reminder of the high stakes in the management—and perils in the mismanagement—of water in the western United States. It seems deceptively simple: even when clear evidence was available that the Colorado River could not sustain ambitious dreaming and planning by decision-makers throughout the twentieth century, river planners and political operatives irresponsibly made the least sustainable and most dangerous long-term decisions. 
     
     
     
    Eric Kuhn and John Fleck delve into rarely reported early studies, showing that scientists warned as early as the 1920s that there was not enough water for the farms and cities boosters wanted to build. Contrary to a common myth that the authors of the Colorado River Compact did the best they could with limited information, Kuhn and Fleck show that development boosters selectively chose the information needed to support their dreams, ignoring inconvenient science that suggested a more cautious approach. 
     
     
     
    Focused on both science and policy, Kuhn and Fleck unravel the tangled web that has constructed the current crisis. Understanding how mistakes were made is crucial to understanding our contemporary problems. Science Be Dammed offers important lessons in the age of climate change about the necessity of seeking out the best science to support the decisions we make.
