Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Peri Wolfman and Charles Gold -- authors of the best-selling The Perfect Setting -- comes the book that showcases one of today's favorite collectibles, vintage Forks, Knives & Spoons. Part of the fun in collecting is the search for new and unusual pieces, and Peri and Charley have amassed delicate coin silver tea spoons, bone-handled knives with rusted steel blades, wood-handled forks with decorative rivets, and picnic ware with bright Bakelite handles. They share the history behind the countless unusual serving pieces -- baked-potato forks, bread knives, and olive spoons among them -that date to Victorian times, and they identify the 29 place setting pieces still in manufacture today. The resource section offers advice on the care, cleaning, and storage of silver, steel, Bakelite, bone, and more. There are also names and addresses of some of the best places to shop for old silver and tableware. Charley's photographs capture the matte beauty of old steel, the warm gleam of silver, the glow of bone, and they offer inspiration for table settings. But the book's biggest bonus is the more than 35 recipes that are tasty ideas for putting your old finds to new use. In Forks, Knives & Spoons, Peri Wolfman and Charles Gold have created a book that both collectors and cooks are bound to relish.

Book Synopsis Metalworking through History by : Ana M. Lopez
Download or read book Metalworking through History written by Ana M. Lopez and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metalworking Through History provides a comprehensive, historic overview of the subject of metalworking while exploring it within its cultural context. It is written from the perspective that the crafting of objects in metal is a unique way of understanding a particular time and culture. As a broad encyclopedia of metalworking, it allows the reader to view the different societies and periods that produced work in this medium as part of a global, interrelated practice. Comprised of over sixty entries on relevant time periods, cultures, makers and processes, the book is a much-needed general reference text in the survey of this craft. The subjects span all the major metalworking periods and peoples, from the rituals of African iron smelting to the twentieth century studio movement. Outstanding individual makers are highlighted to give additional insight into the times at which they were active. Furthermore, the materials and techniques used in the act of metalworking are clearly explained in terms that are easily understood by a practitioner with tacit knowledge of the medium. Suggested further readings and cross-references allow for the expansion of research and additional study. It is an excellent first resource for understanding the concepts and terminology of the ancient and pervasive craft of metalworking. Volume includes eight pages of color plates, and black and white photos throughout.

Download or read book Attack and Die written by Grady McWhiney and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did the Confederacy lose so many men? The authors contend that the Confederates bled themselves nearly to death in the first three years of the war by making costly attacks more often than the Federals. Offensive tactics, which had been used successfully by Americans in the Mexican War, were much less effective in the 1860s because an improved weapon - the rifle - had given increased strength to defenders. This book describes tactical theory in the 1850s and suggests how each related to Civil War tactics. It also considers the development of tactics in all three arms of the service during the Civil War.
