  POKER MATH - Putting the Odds in...

  There is no possible way to overestimate the significance of poker math. In the absence of a good understanding of probability and statistics, players are more prone to make judgments solely on their intuition or "feel," which can result in potentially disastrous outcomes. Although intuition can be useful in certain circumstances, it is not a reliable strategy for making decisions that are guaranteed to generate consistent profits. Poker Math offers players a trustworthy framework for making decisions based on the likelihood of specific outcomes in the game of poker. 
  Probability is regarded as one of the most fundamental ideas in poker mathematics. The study of how likely it is that something will take place is what we mean when we talk about probability. A player's ability to assess the possibility of forming specific hands in poker, the odds of winning a hand based on the amount of outs, and the probability of their opponents holding certain hands requires a grasp of probability. Players can eliminate the need to speculate or rely on their gut instincts by developing an understanding of probability, which enables them to make judgments based on the likelihood of various events. 
  Consider the following scenario: a player holds a pair of 7s in their pocket, and the flop reads 10-7-2. The player now has a set, which is a very strong hand and one of the best possible outcomes. On the other hand, there is a flush draw on the board, which indicates that if another player has two cards of the same suit, they have a chance to build a flush and beat the player who already has a set. By having a concept of probability, the player is able to compute the likelihood that another player possesses two cards of the same suit and then make a choice based on that information.

  Ring the Hill

  A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked 'Quite A Lot Of Hills' where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are. Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill - whether it's a knoll, cap, cliff, tor or even a mere bump - as a starting point for one of Tom's characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations. Tom's lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.

  A practical and inspirational guide to textile folk art from cultures all around the world, accompanied by step-by-step projects.
  From samplers and quilts in Europe, to tribal and nomadic cloth further afield in Mongolia and China, folk and traditional designs have played a crucial part in the development of textile art and craft. In this book, Anne Kelly explores the traditional motifs used in textile folk art and shows you how contemporary textile artists use these in their work today. The beautifully illustrated guide is also packed with helpful step-by-step projects that demonstrate how to apply folk motifs to your own work.
  Drawing inspiration from the Far East to Scandinavia, artists and designers have often used folk art to influence their work. Beginning with the chapter 'Samplers in Stitch', Anne looks into handmade momentoes and souvenirs created in the UK and USA. Samplers as statement pieces are also explored and are contextualised within the role of women and children recording their personal histories and lives. 'Nordic Notes' then looks at Scandinavian traditional textile art, and how modern screen printing and embroidery have been used by contemporary makers. 'Silk Road' looks at the influence of nomadic cultures and textiles, including yurts in Mongolia and Miao folklore in China. Projects on how to make felt, pouched and jewellery are also covered. Lastly, 'Trees of Life' looks the motif of the tree in a variety of cultures. Anne also looks at traditional techniques from South Asia and how to create your own 'Family Tree' using photo transfers and appliqué.
  Featuring step-by-step projects as well as work from contemporary artists and makers throughout, this practical and beautiful guide shows how practitioners of all kinds can draw from folk art for making and inspiration.
