Have you ever wondered, how all the wonderful objects in our museums were made? The masterly use of hand tools by our ancestors would probably be at the core of the answer. Often those skills and particularly the tools that were used have been left out of the limelight though. Are you interested in; hand tools and making objects, collecting, crafts and trades, material culture, museum studies, social history, folk art? If the answer is ‘yes’ to any one of these topics, this publication may pique your curiosity! In this publication, various antique tools are illustrated and analysed, in relation to their previous functions, their cultural value as objects, and why they are studied and collected. Our current times are dominated by mass-produced objects, many being the results of computer software design and automated production lines. The tools illustrated within this book may provide refreshing alternatives to this. Take a closer look at these examples of craftsmanship from our collective past.

Omnibus of classic stories from the old Warhammer Fantasy universe. The Empire is the largest and most powerful realm in the Old World. Founded by the warrior-god Sigmar, it is built up of city-states and provinces that are now bound together under the rule of the Emperor Karl Franz. Only through the actions of its valiant heroes has it repelled the numerous invasions brought against it. And in the far north stands Kislev, one of the Empire’s staunchest allies and the first bastion against the rampaging Chaos hordes beyond… This omnibus edition collects together three tales of heroism and sacrifice focusing on the dour but courageous Winged Lancers of Kislev, the doughty rank and file of the Imperial halberdiers and the pious warrior-priests of the Sigmarite faith. Also included are an array of short stories focusing on the many fighters of the Empire.

A celebration of the life and culture of the Gullah people of the South Carolina Lowcountry in 179 new paintings Jonathan Green is best known for his vibrant depictions of the Gullah life and culture established by descendants of enslaved Africans who settled between northern Florida and North Carolina during the nineteenth century. For decades, Green''s vividly colored paintings and prints have captured and preserved the daily rituals and Gullah traditions of his childhood in the Lowcountry marshes of South Carolina. While Green''s art continues to express the same energy, color, and deep respect for his ancestors, his techniques have evolved to feature bolder brush strokes and a use of depth and texture, all guided by his maturing artistic vision that is now more often about experiencing freedom and contentment through his art. This vision is reflected in the 179 new paintings featured in Gullah Spirit. His open and inviting images beckon the world to not only see this vanishing culture but also to embrace its truth and enduring spirit. Using both the aesthetics of his heritage and the abstraction of the human figure, Green creates an almost mythological narrative from his everyday observations of rural and urban environments. Expressed through his mastery of color, Green illuminates the challenges and beauty of work, love, belonging, and the richness of community. Angela D. Mack, executive director of the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, South Carolina, provides a foreword. The book also includes short essays by historian Walter B. Edgar, educator Kim Cliett Long, and curator Kevin Grogan.

This is NOT your average real estate book. We don''t assume you''ve got a massive amount of money to invest. We''re not going to throw you into a high-risk, low-reward market that puts you in a precarious position. We ARE going to show you how to build your recession-proof real estate empire from ground zero. We''re going to assume you have no money to start with and give you a system to implement to find massive success in the real estate industry. This book is for the average person who wants to buy their first couple of properties (actual homes, not giant complexes or corporate buildings), who probably hasn''t invested in anything before and is interested in using real estate to leverage their way to financial freedom. The strategies in this book are VERY different from those mentioned in other real estate books. Most large-scale real estate strategies are constantly in danger of cyclical downturns. Every ten years or so, we hear about a market crash, a market downturn, or the shrinking of the real estate market. And every ten years, many developers and investors are shattered, and their strategies have no way of helping them out of their misery. Nor is this house flipping in 90 days -- the sensational high-risk strategy that should be reserved for television shows. The strategy we’re going to give you is different. We''re going to give you several sound economic principles that will not only help you endure a recession but thrive while others are struggling. Instead of wondering if you''re going to pay off your house by the time you retire, your house is going to fund your retirement. How? By using the power of the 3-2-1 Formula. The 3-2-1 Formula is a very specific strategy that helps you buy your first three-story multifamily home in a way that allows you to have one level of the house to yourself while renting out the other two, making your home a 3-2-1 profit center! Here''s what you''ll learn: • The All-Important Rising Tide Rule: If you only have ONE takeaway from this book, this is it. This simple rule alone will give you a head start to find the perfect profitable house without getting caught in emotional decisions. • Leverage Other People''s Money With The 10X Rule: Why use your money when this strategy helps you make a profit with very little upfront to pay? You can even get the government to pay for your contractors. The risk isn''t on you. • How To Find The Holy Grail Tenant: If the thought of being a landlord sounds scary, don''t worry. We''ll go over how to weed out bad types of tenants as well as protect yourself with multiple layers of security to make sure you keep getting paid. • Avoid The Vicious Cycle (And Potential Bankruptcy): We''ll prepare you to survive the inevitable rise and fall of the market, show you how to read and respond to trends and control your risk as much as possible so you can avoid big losses and be comfortable in a recession! • Make Everything Easier With The Toddler Rule: It can be difficult to get loans and all the paperwork approved on time…but follow this rule and you''ll demonstrate you''re trustworthy and build relationships to make the process as smooth as butter. By the end of this book, you’ll be ready to close your first real estate deal, and we can''t wait to hear about your success. If the thought of using real estate to leverage your way into financial freedom and travel the world appeals to you, then you''re reading the right book.

Paintings, magisterial and universal, that capture the essence of a vibrant African American community In his art Jonathan Green paints the world of his childhood and an ode to a people imbued with a profound respect for the dignity and value of others—the Gullah people of the South Carolina barrier islands. His canvases, beloved for their sense of jubilation and rediscovery, evoke the meaning of community in Gullah society and display a reverence for the rich visual, oral, and spiritual traditions of its culture. His art also reveals a keen awareness of the interpersonal, social, and natural environments in which we live. The 180 images assembled in this collection showcase the meaning, purpose, and beauty that Green finds in the small but critical tasks of life. His work elevates the everyday—preparing morning meals, doing the wash, accomplishing farming chores, finishing a day''s work, relaxing in the evening—and celebrates the social and religious—community dances, baptisms, weddings, funerals. Green allows his audience the space and silence to observe people unobtrusively as they pursue life''s mission of labor, love, and belonging and as they work in harmony with nature''s mysterious, ever changing fabric. While Green''s paintings speak specifically to his own upbringing, they transcend racial, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, thus allowing individuals of all backgrounds to recall fond memories and to reflect on the place that purpose and dignity hold in their lives. In addition to a foreword by Pat Conroy, essays by Bettye J. (Mbitha) Parker Smith, Lynn Robertson, and Ronne Hartfield complement Green''s images. They tell of the vitality of the Gullah community, the progression of Green''s career, and the authenticity of his work.

Are you desperate to get a job? If you''ve recently been thrust into the cruel world of unemployment or have been searching for so long you''ll even settle for a job in fast food… you need to read this. Unemployment rates are at an all-time high. We''re constantly competing with people that are younger, more educated and willing to work for pennies. And often being unemployed isn''t even your fault—it''s because someone higher up than you made a mistake. These days, you''re far more likely to lose your job for something you didn''t do rather than something you did. And the longer you''re out of work, the harder it is to get back in. But it doesn''t have to be that way. Now you can turn the odds in your favor. Employers can be looking for you, not the other way around. You will no longer be told that you''re overqualified, underqualified, have too much experience or too little. You can set your own terms. Some people think landing a job is about getting lucky at the right time. But do you want to leave your fate (and your family''s) to luck? To throw resumes around and hope you get an interview? Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. We can''t control the opportunity, but we can control the preparation. You don''t have to do this alone. Getting a job is a skill, and like any skill, it can be improved with a system and a mentor. This book is your guide to give you an advantage over the competition and become the perfect candidate. You''ll learn… The Seven Key Steps To Getting Hired 1. Focus Have you ever tried to drive to an unknown place without directions? You might get there in the end, but you''re bound to get lost. Here you''ll learn the seven layers of finding your why and how to position yourself to beat the competition—this is your roadmap to your new job. 2. Getting Them To Choose You A lot of people say they''re passionate about the job, but how can you go above and beyond to really show them that you''re the best one for the job? One part of this is investing in yourself and your skills, and you''ll learn how to get paid to do it. 3. The Specialist Gets Paid If you need heart surgery, would you go to the general doctor or a heart surgeon? When you''re a specialist, you can name your price because you''re the best at what you do. Discover your rare skills and position yourself as the expert they need. 4. Your Job Search Skills Matter It''s really easy to get burned out when looking for a job, we often go through manic cycles and end up getting nowhere in the end. And the key to winning the marathon is in this simple children''s tale… 5. Taking Committed Action Fear is a major barrier that holds us back from doing the things which push us forward. You''ll learn how to not only overcome that fear, but to see your unemployment like an opportunity. 6. Winning Interviews Did you know that most positions get filled before they are ever offered to the public? These are the skills you need to master in order to get that insider information and be one step ahead of your competition. 7. Getting The Best Offer When someone else controls all the factors and you feel like a puppet on a string—your job search efforts are more like gambling. Learn how to be strategic, control as many factors as you can and land that job. Even if you''re desperate… if you feel like you''re on the end of your rope… you can take this system and turn your circumstances into your advantage.

Nominated for an Edgar Award “Exceptionally authentic.”—Jill Leovy, The New York Times Book Review In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Bronx had one of the country’s highest per capita homicide rates.

Drawing on years of research and extraordinary access to gang leaders, law enforcement, and federal prosecutors, Green delivers an engrossing work of gritty urban reportage.

Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 examines prognostic traditions and late medieval prophetic texts in the first century of printing and their effect on the new medium of print. The many prophetic and prognostic works that followed Europe''s earliest known printed book---not the Gutenberg Bible, but the Sibyl''s Prophecy, printed by Gutenberg two years earlier and known today only from a single page---over the next century were perennial best sellers for many printers, and they provide the modern observer with a unique way to study the history and inner workings of the print medium. The very popularity of these works, often published as affordable booklets, raised fears of social unrest. Printers therefore had to meet customer demand while at the same time channeling readers'' reactions along approved paths. Authors were packaged---and packaged themselves---in word and image to respond to the tension, while leading figures of early modern culture such as Paracelsus, Martin Luther, and Sebastian Brant used printed prophecies for their own purposes in a rapidly changing society. Based on a wide reading of many sources, Printing and Prophecy contributes to the study of early modern literature, including how print changed the relationship among authors, readers, and texts. The prophetic and astrological texts the book examines document changes in early modern society that are particularly relevant to German studies and are key texts for understanding the development of science, religion, and popular culture in the early modern period. By combining the methods of cultural studies and book history, this volume brings a new perspective to the study of Gutenberg and later printers.
