With clear, detailed instruction and over 500 images, it provides a thorough account of the principles, and encourages you to explore the potential of this exciting technique.Double cloth holds a special fascination for handweavers: there is something truly extraordinary about being able to create a multi-layered fabric in a single piece. In Designing and Weaving Double Cloth, the processes of double weave design and construction are developed step by step through detailed examples and inspirational projects. Starting with two layers on four shafts, and methodically building up a repertoire of design elements from blocks and curves to colour and structure, this book offers something for everyone from the double cloth novice to the experienced weaver. Every element is illustrated with samples and full-colour drafts, and practical advice is supported by detailed photographs of warping, weaving and finishing techniques. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on offering a choice of approaches in both design and construction, equipping the reader with the tools to pursue their own vision for double cloth and bring it to life at the loom.

Downtown NYC of the mid-1970s and early 80s was the perfect landscape for reinvention. If the Lost Generation writers telegraphed the death of the American dream, the No Wave era, led by artists including Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Nan Goldin, Sonic Youth and the Contortions, challenged that dream by howling "NO" while creating a counterculture that brought punk, rock, jazz, funk, the art world, hip hop, and outlaw literature together into an international explosion of creativity. Why was this scene so compelling, and remains so today? What set this confluence of time, place, and people apart from the rest? The answer, in a word: women. Women, resisting stereotypes. Reinventing themselves according to their individual artistic visions. Adele Bertei was a pivotal figure in the No Wave movement. She was an original member of the Contortions and Brian Enos fascination with the band resulted in the seminal No New York record, released in 1978. NO NEW YORK: A Memoir of No Wave and the Women Who Shaped the Scene will provide an uncompromising testimony to the first significant, international movement of women artists creating work on an equal footing with the men, the fruits of which were some of the most striking and unique of this era.

From rising horror star and award-winning author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke comes a nightmarish, haunting, tech-Gothic thrill ride about sorrow, memory, and the unabashed complexity of love as a transgressive act.After his husband dies, Simeon Link finds himself overcome by grief and seeking comfort in an unusual support group called The Wretches, who offer an addictive and dangerous source of relief. They introduce Simeon to a curious figure known as Porcelain Khawa man with the ability to let those who are grieving have one last intimate moment with their beloved...for a price.Hallucinatory, fiendish, and destructively beautiful, Wretch transports us to a world where not everything is as it seems, and those we love may be the ones who haunt us most.

From the former Poet Laureate, a remarkable contemplation of departure and return.Andrew Motions new collection gives a moving account of the friction and interplay between past and present. In the opening elegies for friends and former versions of the self, and in the long title sequence which completes the book, he explores the ways in which regrets compete with hope, and the appetite for life is always a prey to hard facts of mortality. The energy and reach of these poems opens a new chapter in Motions writing, remaining true to the elegiac subjects which have always been his main concern, while adding new depths of pathos and resonance.

E SE O COLAPSO DA HUMANIDADE NO VIESSE DA GUERRA, MAS DA AUSENCIA ABSOLUTA DE CONEXO REAL? E SE, EM NOME DA SEGURANÇA E DO PROGRESSO, ESQUECESSEMOS COMO TOCAR, SENTIR, OLHAR NOS OLHOS E CRER? "Conexes Invisiveis" e um drama distopico global, de estetica intimista e alma espiritual, que mistura ficço especulativa com profundidade existencial. Num planeta a beira do colapso, a humanidade vive enclausurada, e as telas substituem a presença. Mas sob a superficie digital, escondem-se dores no curadas, verdades ocultas e um mundo espiritual esquecido. Entre Seul, Tel Aviv, Londres e Provence, vozes solitarias se cruzam em um espaço virtual onde compartilham suas feridas. Sem perceber, abrem portais que podem conduzir a esperança ou ao fim de tudo. Mais que ficço cientifica, esta e uma narrativa multicultural que une drama psicologico, reflexo filosofica e horizonte teologico. O desfecho arrebatador revela que o verdadeiro apocalipse no foi ambiental, mas espiritual. E que ha um Livro esquecido por muitos que ainda guarda o caminho para quem ousa confessar e crer.

When Henry Forrester inherits a house in the country, he knows exactly what he wants to do: leave Oxford, write his book, forget about the war. But even at Ferley Court the memories are not so easy to escape according to the locals there is a deserter living rough in his wood. And although Henry doesnt believe that, there is something unexpected going on, something that is almost the same shape as the fairy tales he is writing about. And everyone, from friendly Miss Learmont of the National Trust to unsmiling Mr Pryce of the Department of Special Enquiry, wants him to do something about it. Everyone except Robin Talliver, who seems content simply to be an impossibility.As Henry begins to accept that he has found not just another life but another world, he also understands that it is not as untroubled as Robin would have him believe. He needs to make a choice, and he cant do that without confronting the questions raised by the war. And even though he will not do it alone, he still knows that in making that choice he risks losing everything that brought him back out of the darkness.

Ensinar no começa no ponto de partida, mas no instante em que quem educa escolhe avançar guiado por uma pergunta. Entre o olhar e a palavra, entre o gesto e o pensamento, este livro percorre o territorio vivo da docencia como travessia feita de reflexo, planejamento e nova reflexo. Em meio a presses por resultados e a ansiedade por respostas imediatas, a escola revela fissuras do nosso tempo: estudantes que pedem voz e tambem direço, familias tensionadas, afetos em aprendizado. A obra assume esse cenario sem simplificaçes e oferece uma escrita que conversa: entre pesquisas, experiencias na educaço basica e ensino de matematica nos anos iniciais, o leitor encontra um convite a transformar o entre-tempo das aulas em oficina de pensamento. Longe de roteiros fixos, a autoria docente surge como cartografia de si mapa desenhado pela pratica e soprado pela duvida. No e tratado tecnico nem memorial academico: e um ensaio comprometido com a etica do cuidado e a firmeza das rotinas, com perguntas que sustentam a demanda cognitiva e ampliam horizontes. Se acender em voce a vontade de replanejar passos, o livro cumprira a sua funço: afirmar que o sentido do ensino aparece em movimento e que caminhar junto e, ainda, a melhor forma de aprender.
