Making a Rattan Bow - Linda Schilling - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Making a Rattan Bow - Linda Schilling - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Using rattan or a combination of rattan and wood, a variety of interesting bow designs can be made. Rattan is a very light material consisting of a soft, flexible core and a protective hard circumference, which makes it an excellent choice for bow making. Its elastic properties allow the back part of the bow to handle its tensile strength while the belly of the bow is better able to resist its compression forces. This book guides you through the making of seven bow designs with illustrated, step-by-step instructions. Sections include creating the bow profile, tillering, leather grips, shaping the handle, making wood overlays for the tips, and much more. This book is perfect for archers, woodworkers, and crafters of all skill level.

”Liv, er du der?” ”Ja, Ilva.” ”Liv, vil du love mig noget?” ”Jeg vil love dig alt, søs.” ”Lov mig, at du finder mig igen. Vil du love mig det?” ”Ilva, nej, det gør du ikke. Det må du ikke gøre. Du sagde selv, at de ikke måtte fange os!” ”Lover du det?” ”Ja, Ilva, jeg lover dig, at jeg vil gøre alt, hvad jeg kan, for at finde dig igen!” ”Så løb! Løb, som du aldrig har løbet før!” Hvert år ved juletid forsvinder børn rundt om Livs landsby. De forsvundne børn har evner, som heksen på Tågebjerget skal bruge. Heksen leder efter magiske sten, der kan give uendelig magt. Liv og tvillingesøsteren Ilva bliver på deres 15-års fødselsdag gjort til vogtere af to af stenene. Samme dag angribes deres hjem, og Ilva bliver fanget af mystiske væsner. Liv kastes ud i en hæsblæsende jagt for at finde de sidste sten og få sin søster tilbage. Her møder hun Jack, som leder efter sin søster. Sammen begiver de sig ud på en fantastisk rejse, der udfordrer venskab, tillid og kærlighed. Om forfatteren Pia Naamansen Skriver (f. 1973) skrev i mange til skuffen, præget af angst for at hendes ordblindhed ville stoppe forfatterdrømmen. Nu tager hun springet og debuterer med fantasybogen OKTAVIA, der er første bind i en planlagt trilogi.

Kuttefolket - Steen B.j. - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Kuttefolket - Steen B.j. - Bog - Forlaget mellemgaard - Plusbog.dk

Prior Adamstan er helt overvældet af en ridder, to forsvundne munke, en død munk, en oprevet munk og munken Johannes samt det faktum, at priorinde Stella og priorinde Ilva også ankommer på hans kloster og snager i forholdene, som han for enhver pris ikke sådan ønsker skal blive kendt uden for klostrets mure. Men midt i kaosset er der også lyspunkter for prior Adamstan. Priorinde Stella og priorinde Ilva vil gerne have indblik i forholdene på Bastians kloster, så i de to priorinders iver laver de aftaler med fire nonner. Disse nonner lader sig snuppe af munke fra prior Bastians kloster, hvor priorinderne så efterfølgende udspørger munkene om forholdene på deres kloster. Den viden udnytter de to priorinder mod prior Bastian. De flygtede nonner og munke samt munkedrengen Trud og nonnepigen Sølva lever i skoven. Det skal dog vise sig, at der er et væld af uforudsete udfordringer uden for klosterets mure, hvor de møder Kuttefolket. Uddrag af bogen Priorinde Stella havde taget sin kærre over til Viskum kloster tidligt om morgenen til et lille formøde med priorinde Ilva. ”Værsgo,” sagde priorinde Ilva og skænkede frugtsaft op i et krus til priorinde Stella. ”Tak. Er vi klar til at fortælle dem et par sandheder?” spurgte priorinde Stella. ”Æh, jo jeg er klar. Jeg har talt med mine nonner efter deres sidste tur på engen og de har ikke fået nyt ud af munkene, end det vi allerede ved. Men vi ved også en masse,” svarede priorinde Ilva.”Strategien må være, at vi først går efter, at vi får Bastian bombarderet med spørgsmål, om det han laver. Han vil sikkert stejle, og måske vil prior Adamstan endda bakke ham op og bede os om at blande os uden om det, der sker inden for murene. Her er det så, at vi spiller ud med, at Kato og de andre munke tropper op på vores eng. Om forfatteren Steen B. J. (f. 1965) er forfatter til over tyve værker inden for genrerne krimi og historisk roman. Hans mest kendte er Danmarks vel nok længste krimiserie: En udfordring for Team Milton. Senest har han udgivet den fascinerende skildring af den danske modstandskamp under besættelsen: Modstandsbevægelserne 1-2.

Toxic Matters - Monica Seger - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

Toxic Matters - Monica Seger - Bog - University of Virginia Press - Plusbog.dk

In Toxic Matters, Monica Seger considers two Italian environmental disasters: an isolated factory explosion in Seveso, just north of Milan, in 1976 and the ongoing daily toxic emissions from the Ilva steelworks in the Apulian city of Taranto. Both have exposed residents to high concentrations of the persistent organic pollutant known as dioxin. Seger traces a dialogue between Seveso and Taranto, exploring an interplay between bodies, soil, industrial emissions, and the wealth of dynamic particulate matter that passes in between. At the same time, the book emphasizes the crucial function of creative narrative expressions, in literary, cinematic, and other forms, for making sense of this modern-day reality and for shifting existing power dynamics as exposed communities exercise their voices. While Toxic Matters is grounded in Italian cases and texts, it looks outward to the pressing questions of toxicity, embodiment, and storytelling faced by communities worldwide.

Kan de på nogen måde aktivere den, hvis og når de finder den? Hvad venter der dem på den anden side? Xandria jagter dem nådesløst, alt imens Liv og Jacks forhold bliver dybere. Liv er sikker på, at han bedre kan lide Ilva end hende. Uddrag af bogen Hun kan tydeligt se den sorte skygge derinde. Hvad er det, du vil? Xandria ved udmærket godt, hvad skyggen vil, spørgsmålet er kun for at vinde tid. Håber hun. Du ved godt, hvad jeg vil. Det spørgsmål er ikke gennemtænkt, Xandria! Måden, skyggen får sagt hendes navn på, får de små nakkehår til at rejse sig mere endnu. Ja, det ved jeg, men jeg har dem ikke. Hvorfor vil du have de sten? Skyggen griner med en hæs stemme. Hvad sker der med din hukommelse? Jeg synes, der er huller i den! Det må være alderen, men jeg skal nok få dig til at huske en dag. Denne højpandede måde, skyggen taler på, er ved at drive hende til vanvid. Ja ja, hun ved det, hun er ikke nogen ungmø mere, men huske kan hun stadig, og hun kan ikke huske noget som helst om at skulle vide, hvem eller for den sags skyld hvad denne skygge er. Jeg husker udmærket, men jeg ved ikke, hvem … Om forfatteren Pia Naamansen Skriver (f. 1973) har altid elsket at skrive og forsvinde ind i en anden virkelighed, som hun selv har skabt. Det at skabe sin egen virkelighed har altid været lykken. Ordblindhed har gjort, at hendes skriverier er havnet i skuffen. Hun tog springet i 2021 med første bind i Oktavia -serien.

Flet i forvandling - Else Marie Pedersen - Bog - Tempa Håndværk - Plusbog.dk

Denne bog er tænkt som inspiration til alle som holder af at bruge deres hænder og hjerne til at flette kurve håndværksmæssigt og kreativt.Kurvehåndværket er en del af vores kulturarv og har ikke forandret sig så meget op igennem historien. Det er de samme grundteknikker vi fletter med i dag som før. Designet på kurvene har ændret sig, alt efter moden og kurvenes anvendelse. Materialerne som anvendes er stadig, hvorend du rejser i verden, naturmaterialer som er tilgænglige dér hvor folk bor. Dog har mulig-heden for at få materialer fra andre dele af verden været med til at ændre flettehåndværket.Ved at gå tilbage i historien og tage de gamle fletteteknikker med op til nutiden, håber jeg at disse bliver bevaret i fremtiden. Bogen er en kombination af historier, teknikker og opskrifter. Grundmaterialet er rattan, kendt i Danmark som peddigrør. Foruden grundteknikker til mange forskellige typer kurve kan du også finde grundteknikker til splejsning af kurve og tasker af papirgarn, en skøn teknik til fremstilling af kurve.

Probing Arts and Emergent Forms of Life - Michael M. J. Fischer - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Probing Arts and Emergent Forms of Life - Michael M. J. Fischer - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

In Probing Arts and Emergent Forms of Life Michael M. J. Fischer calls for a new anthropology of the arts that attends to the materialities and technologies of the world as it exists today. Fischer examines the work of key Southeast and East Asian artists within the crucibles of unequal access, geopolitics, reverberating past traumas, and emergent socialities. He outlines the work of artist-theorists---including Entang Wiharso, Sally Smart, Charles Lim, Zai Kuning, and Kiran Kumar---who speculate about changing the world in ways that are attuned to its cultivation, repair, and rethinking in the Anthropocene. Their artistic vocabulary not only undoes Western art models and categories; it probes the unfolding future, addresses past trauma, and creates contested, vibrant, and flourishing spaces. Throughout Indonesia, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam---and from Kumar’s experimental dance to Kuning’s rattan and beeswax ghost ships to Lim’s videography of Singapore from the sea---Fischer argues that these artists’ theoretical discourses should be privileged over those of the curators, historians, critics, and other gatekeepers who protect and claim art worlds for themselves.

Bohemian Modern - Emily Henson - Bog - Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Emily Henson explores the elements that come together to create this eclectic, colorful, and contemporary look and draws inspiration from an array of real-life Bohemian Modern homes. The Bohemian Modern home is a place where creativity, individuality, and a bold mix of color and pattern meet in a modern environment. Whitewashed walls and polished concrete floors are brought to life by vibrant rugs and wall hangings; a cozy rattan chair suspended from the ceiling, and a jungle of houseplants—clustered in pots, hanging from the ceiling, or even growing on the walls. The style gives a nod to 1970s chic, with its use of shagpile rugs, Swiss cheese plants, and macramé, but it stands firmly in the present day by boldly contrasting those elements with sleek modern art and polished concrete worksurfaces. Emily starts by taking a look at the different facets of the look: pattern and color, textiles, handmade pieces, living with houseplants, and collections and display. She offers up styling tricks to use at home and timely ideas for recycling and reuse. Next, a series of case studies take a closer look at free-spirited and creative homes and the people who live in them. From a restored barn on the coast of Morocco to a former parking garage in the Netherlands that''s been converted into a flexible family live/work space, Emily shows that any home can have Bohemian Modern style.

Hvad døden har lært mig om livet - Else Marie Nygaard - Bog - Kristeligt Dagblads Forlag - Plusbog.dk

Man bliver klogere af at leve. Men døden kan faktisk også lære os noget om livet. Hvis man altså tør tage sorgen under armen og lade den blive en naturlig følgesvend på sin vej. 21 markante danskere fortæller i HVAD DØDEN HAR LÆRT MIG OM LIVET, hvordan mødet med døden har gjort dem klogere – ikke bare på sig selv og andre, men også på livet. “Man lærer virkelig meget af at miste,” fortæller forfatter Naja Marie Aidt, der mistede sin søn Carl Emil for tre år siden. “Man lærer så meget om sig selv, og hvor stærke vi mennesker faktisk er. Men også om livet, at man ikke skal tage alting for givet. Man får øvet sig i, hvordan man håndterer vanskelige ting og får et andet niveau for, hvad der er vanskeligt, og hvad der ikke er. På en måde får man en eller anden visdom, og man vokser som menneske. Selvom det selvfølgelig er uønsket. Det, der ikke slår dig ihjel, gør dig stærkere, siger man. Jeg har altid tænkt ’ja ja’, men det er faktisk rigtigt.” I HVAD DØDEN HAR LÆRT MIG OM LIVET beskriver Aidt og 20 andre, hvordan mødet med døden sendte deres eget liv ud i en ny bane, de ikke anede fandtes, og hvordan sorgen har været smertefuld, men også fuld af skaberkraft. Derudover beskriver en række eksperter, der på godt og ondt forholder sig til døden hver dag, hvordan dens nærvær tvinger dem til at tænke på livet med dyb taknemmelighed. Livet er en gave. Men en gave, du kun har på lånt tid. Det kan døden lære os at forstå. Et er nemlig sikkert: Vi skal alle dø en dag – men alle andre dage skal vi leve!

Twin Ports by Trolley - Aaron Isaacs - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

Twin Ports by Trolley - Aaron Isaacs - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

An international seaport and an industrial powerhouse, Duluth was a natural for streetcar service, but making it successful was a challenge. The city, some twenty-five miles long yet only three miles wide in most places, has the tallest and steepest hills in Minnesota and a harbor separating it from its sister city, Superior, Wisconsin. Twin Ports by Trolley charts the history of the streetcar system that met the unique difficulties posed by Duluth, from the Interstate Bridge that crossed the harbor to the Incline Railway that carried travelers more than five hundred feet above Lake Superior. Following the rails as horse-drawn cars gave way to electric trolleys, Aaron Isaacs takes us into the workings of the Duluth–Superior streetcars: politics and corporate maneuvers, engineering and maintenance, scheduling and setting routes, running and riding the trolleys. Along the way we meet motormen and conductors (including twenty-one women who stepped in during World War I) and learn what it’s like to run a streetcar through obstacles ranging from heavy snowstorms to Halloween pranks to the heroism of evacuating a burning neighborhood. Then we ride the rails in a typical car, with a floor of varnished wood and seats of cushioned rattan, and a not-so-typical luxury car, outfitted to the nines with velvet curtains and a bar for lucrative “streetcar parties.” We experience the ride, whether buying a token or braving the smokers on the rear platform when boarding, and we learn the routes as the streetcars deliver, along with passengers, mail pouches and newspapers, dogs, and, in the case of the Park Point funeral car, corpses and mourners. Isaacs traces traffic patterns and geographic features for each line and describes imaginary trips on three of the most interesting routes. The book is, finally, a tour of the Twin Ports over time, with a wealth of maps and photographs illustrating routes and landmarks and picturing the people who made the rails hum. Interviews and newspaper features, “day-after reports” and management memos, stories told by employees and onlookers—all contribute to a rich evocation of a fascinating historical era. The streetcars are long gone from Duluth and Superior, but remnants survive if one knows where to look—and this street-level exploration points the way.
