Download or read book A String of Knots written by and published by PublishAmerica. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recollection about personal sacrifices, the protagonist, Saul Brown, recalled the losses he had suffered in several confrontations prior to the aftermath of 9-11. In the juxtaposition of the near and far experiences, his grief became unbearable but softened by the rediscovered relationships formed over time, despite the attempt of his friend, Clay, to paint a tainted picture of his first love. Poised to choose between two great loves, his girlfriend Venus Genetrix and his brother Samuel Brown, Saul is torn between his heart and mind. The story becomes intriguing as the choice is deferred by a series of events, and metaphorical as the struggles are likened to a string of knots where imagery fluctuates between tying and untying???keeping and letting go. Finally, two loves come clashing with censors on creativity and the impediments of moral obligations, but in the untidy acts of consolation, communion, and reaffirmation, one discovers that true love comes softly in a bittersweet way.

Download or read book Why Knot? written by Philippe Petit and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mr. Petit is the perfect teacher” in this fascinating, educational volume on knot-tying—an art and science that has held civilization together (The Wall Street Journal). Philippe Petit is known for his astounding feat of daring when, on August 7, 1974, he stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between the World Trade Center’s twin towers in New York City. But beyond his balance, courage, and showmanship, there was one thing Petit had to be absolutely certain of—his knots. Without the confidence that his knots would hold, he never would have left the ground. In fact, while most of us don’t think about them beyond tying our shoelaces, the humble knot is crucial in countless contexts, from sailing to sports to industrial safety to art, agriculture, and more. In this truly unique book, Petit offers a guide to tying over sixty of his essential knots, with practical sketches illustrating his methods and clear tying instructions. Filled with photos in which special knots were used during spectacular high-wire walks, quirky knot trivia, personal anecdotes, helpful tips, magic tricks, and special tying challenges, Why Knot? will entertain and educate readers of all ages. “In reading Philippe’s book we are cogently reminded that without the ability to secure a rope, or tether a goat, or make fast the sheets of a galley, much of the civilization that we take for granted would disappear as easily as a slipknot in the hands of a Vegas conjuror.” —Sting, musician and activist “His descriptions are clear, he deploys humor frequently and he makes his points with anecdotes that are colorful and memorable. Explaining the purpose and creation of knots and thanks to those flawless drawings Mr. Petit earns perfect marks.” —The Wall Street Journal
