Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, and a Few Yarns I commenced this book with the intention of only writing on the Victorian Navy, and the chapter on the Constance. Is the result. But a friendly critic told me that it was rather technical and too impersonal for the general public, so I boldly launched into an autobiography, intending it to be a humble effort on the part of an old fossil to depict life in the Royal Navy during a service of forty-one years, as he found it. After all, it is only by the study of fossils that we are able to arrive at any conclusions as to the period' in which they existed. It is true that we have among the fossils, to mention a few, Tonge, Smollett, Michael Scott, Marryat, Chambre and Hannay, the last the author of that charming book Singleton Fontenoy, r.n., descriptive of naval life in the fifties of the last century. Nicholas and James are more geologists than fossilists, and only give dry details. Laird' Clowes has brought Up naval history to the year 1900 in a more human fashion, while Rudyard Kipling well, we all know his gems of naval life. The war has produced a new school, and I have read its works with' infinite enjoyment. I dedicate this ambitious work to the glorious Service.

Book excerpt: “Thiessen has done her research, and talked to people who truly have insight into the process of making both yarn and clothing.” —Modern Daily Knitting Like the “slow food” movement, Slow Knitting encourages knitters to step back, pare down, and celebrate the craftsmanship of their work. In five chapters centered around the tenets of slow knitting—sourcing carefully, making thoughtfully, thinking environmentally, experimenting fearlessly, and exploring openly—Hannah Thiessen challenges knitters of all skill levels to view their practice in a new way. Each chapter contains explorations of fiber types; profiles of well-known yarn types, makers, and yarn suppliers; and garment patterns inspired by the featured fibers. With contributions from knitting superstars Norah Gaughan, Bristol Ivy, and many others, Slow Knitting proposes an approach to knitting that is both minimalist and all-encompassing, and emphasizes what makes knitting a meditation, a passion, and a unique necessity. “Promotes the concept of ‘slow knitting’ which discards the pressure to produce prolifically and instead, revolves around the idea that thoughtfully produced yarn will result in better projects for you-the crafter.” —MarthaStewart.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Spun Yarns In the big house on the hill, two small pairs of hands had trimmed the chimney-piece with holly and mistletoe, and hung the windows with wreaths and crosses, all in hopes that their absent father would return in season to see it, and wish them a merry Christmas. It was lonely enough for little Guy and Elsie in the big house. Only servants to keep them company since their old grandfather died; for their mother was dead, and their father had long been travelling in foreign lands. They were not much better off before their grand father died. He was not an affectionate grandfather, but an irritable old man, with moods of tenderness, it is true, but so generally out of humor that the children feared rather than loved him. It was said that he was not always so unlovely;-'that it was only since his daughter Margery ran away from home, and married against his wish her music-teacher, that he had be come so morose. He disowned her, and would never look at the pleading letters she sent begging his forgiveness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

First let me say that I make no excuse for publishing this book, for verily a book of humour wants no apologia in these days of general curtailment, and it is because I fear the Shortage of humour that I hasten to help the world to laughter. You will say - and I heartily agree with you - that it is as dangerous to put Old jokes in new books as new wine in Old bottles, and yet when I contend that there is nothing new under the sun you will dismiss your criticisms and laugh again at the story you heard your father tell your mother when some decades ago you were at her knee.

Book excerpt: One surviving cotton sock tells us that the Egyptians were knitting as long ago as the first millennium AD. Tenderly preserved shawls and sweaters bespeak our great-grandmothers handiwork. And colorful strands of yarn escaping from a basket in the corner show that the tradition lives on with us. That tradition, celebrated in the stories and essays in this book, knits together a world of warmth and memory, wisdom and camaraderie. These writings--sometimes amusing, sometimes moving, always entertaining--comprise a charming scrapbook reflecting the myriad cultural and historical aspects of knitting. Ranging from the days of World War II to our own time, they include offerings by Jamaica Kincaid, Melanie Falick, Elizabeth Zimmermann, Meg Swansen, Susan Gordon Lydon, Pam Allen, Lela Nargi, Perri Klass, Teva Durham, and many others. Artwork by Solveig Hisdal, fiber artists Debbie New and Karen Searle, and photographer Chris Hartlove, along with historical photographs, vintage advertising, and pattern booklets, brings the color and textures of these stories to vibrant life. Whether you ply knitting needles yourself or simply appreciate the art, this collection will enfold you in all the softness, warmth, and beauty of knitting today and yesterday.

Book excerpt: In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platform that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in humanity's broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened.

Book excerpt: This much anticipated collection of stories, written by Oxford University Fellow and Pain Scientist, Dr GL Moseley, provides an entertaining and informative way to understand modern pain biology. Described by critics as 'a gem' and by clinicians as 'entertaining and educative', Painful Yarns is a unique book. The stories, some of his travels in outback Australia, some of experiences growing up, are great yarns. At the end of each story, there is a section "so what has this got to do with pain?" in which Lorimer uses the story as a metaphor for some aspect of pain biology. The level of the pain education is appropriate for patients and health professionals. The entertainment is good for everyone. You don't have to be interested in pain to get something from this book and a laugh or two!
