Summary

Are you spending more resources making the same boring, flawed knife? 
You have made your first knife, a few maybe, but you still feel like you could improve and expand your skills.  
You have joined all forums, scoured the internet for material, but still find yourself a little bit short on information? 
Are your knives losing their edge after sharpening them a few times? Are small details of imperfection in your blades bothering you? Do you want to never make those imperfect blades again? 
I, Wes Sander, will share with you powerful techniques to take your bladesmithing skills to the next level 
In this book you will learn about: 
• The most cost-effective way to make a knife 
• The secrets of making a Damascus knife in just 9 steps 
• How you can make your first sword, in just 17 steps, start to finish 
• The secrets of Japanese blade making 
• A simple technique, used by master bladesmiths, that will prevent your blade from shattering 
• The #1 high-performance steel that you should use to make knives 
• Lost wax casting, an important technique that is rarely included in smithing books 
• 10 essential tools that you need to have when bladesmithing 
• 1 blade sharpening tip, to help you create the perfect edge 
• How to build a simple but effective forge 
• Metallurgical insights into different knife/sword making steels 
Are you frustrated with the scientific, archaic and cryptic language of higher level bladesmithing authors? 
This book has been designed to have simple language so that it is easy to grasp even the most complex concepts. The assorted collection of techniques can help you add a unique touch to your creations. 
Here are answers to some questions you might have about this book: 
Q: What is this book about?  
A: This book is an intermediate guide on forging knives and swords. 
Q: Who should read this book?  
A: If you are interested in making knives and swords of any kind, you would want to read this book. Anyone looking to learn various unique bladesmithing techniques and improve their craft should also read this book. 
Q: Do I need to have tools before I read this book?  
A: Only the barest minimum are required. The rest you can make or acquire along your journey. The book even has a step-by-step guide to make your own forge, so you don't need to start out with one. 
Q: What am I going to learn in this book?  
A: As the title suggests, the main focus of the book is to help you make knives and swords. I also teach you to forge Damascus, as well as several topics like Japanese bladesmithing and lost wax casting, techniques that most bladesmithing books do not touch. 
More than anything, what this book can do for you is to actually guide you throughout every step of every process that is included, simple or complex.  
You can learn and improve as a bladesmith by expanding your smithing knowledge base and skill set, with this guide to help you. 
Every day that you make knives without improving your skills is another day that you miss out on making a knife that you could really cherish.

    Volcanoes - A Very Short...

    Volcanoes are some of the most dramatic expressions of the powerful tectonic forces at work in the Earth beneath our feet. But volcanism, a profoundly important feature of Earth, and indeed of other planets and moons too, encompasses much more than just volcanoes themselves. On a planetary scale, volcanism is an indispensable heat release mechanism, which on Earth allows the conditions for life. It releases gases into the atmosphere and produces enormous volumes of rock, and spectacular landscapes—landscapes which, during major eruptions, can be completely reshaped in a matter of hours. Through geological time volcanism has shaped both climate and biological evolution, and volcanoes can affect human life, too, for both good and ill. Yet, even after much study, some of the fundamental aspects of volcanicity remain mysterious.This Very Short Introduction takes listeners into the inferno of a racing pyroclastic current, and the heart of a moving lava flow, as understood through the latest scientific research. Exploring how volcanologists forensically decipher how volcanoes work, Michael Branney and Jan Zalasiewicz explain what we do (and don't) understand about the fundamental mechanisms of volcanism, and consider how volcanoes interact with other physical processes on the Earth, with life, and with human society.

    When she moved her young family to her husband's hometown in northern France, Karen Le Billon expected some cultural adjustment. But she didn't expect to be lectured for slipping her fussing toddler a snack, or to be forbidden from packing her older daughter a school lunch. Karen is intrigued by the fact that French children happily eat everything-from beets to broccoli, from salad to spinach-while French obesity rates are a fraction of what they are in North America.Karen soon begins to see the wisdom in the "food rules" that the French use to foster healthy eating habits and good manners in babies and children. Some of the rules call into question both our eating habits and our parenting styles. Other rules evoke commonsense habits that we used to share but have somehow forgotten.Combining personal anecdotes with practical tips and appetizing recipes, French Kids Eat Everything is a humorous, provocative look at families, food, and children that is filled with inspiration and advice that every parent can use.

    From the author of Lady Chatterly’s Lover, a travelogue of a journey with his wife that offers a glimpse of post–World War I Europe. After the First World War, when D. H. Lawrence was living in Sicily, he traveled to Sardinia and back in January 1921. This record of what he saw on that journey, Sea and Sardinia, not only reveals his response to new landscapes, new people, and his ability to capture their spirit into literary art, but is also a shrewd inquiry into the post-war values which led to the rise of communism and fascism in various countries around the world. A celebration of the human spirit despite its indictment of materialism, this collection of travel writings has restored passages and corrected corrupted textual readings for the definitive version of the book Lawrence himself called “a marvel of veracity.”
