'His book injects some grounded, non-jargon-laden reality into the
bland corporate-speak around notions of passion, engagement and
purpose.' Financial Times 'This is explicitly a book to help a
"regular person do well in a rapidly changing economy" and it
succeeds precisely because there is no hyperbole or hard sell. No
dynamism is required' Financial Times 'Inspiration for
entrepreneurs that should be required reading in any business
school curriculum' Kirkus 'The Passion Economy is exactly what
everyone needs today: examples of how to thrive in an economy that
can seem overwhelming, and crystal-clear explanations of how to
succeed. This is the book about how to live (and work) a more
passionate life' Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit 'Adam
Davidson is one of America's most accomplished business journalists
- and this book reminds us why. With a reporter's eye and a
storyteller's grace, he has traveled the country to find regular
people who have cracked the code of the modern economy. Reading
their stories will reveal the secrets of successful careers' Daniel
H. Pink, author of When 'Move over Malcolm Gladwell. In The Passion
Economy Adam Davidson upends the conventional thinking about how to
succeed in our topsy-turvy, seemingly unforgiving post-industrial
economy by sharing the stories of regular people who followed their
dreams' William D. Cohan, author of House of Cards The brilliant
creator of NPR's Planet Money podcast and award-winning New Yorker
staff writer explains our current economy: laying out its internal
logic and revealing the transformative hope it offers for millions
of people to thrive as they never have before. Contrary to what you
may have heard, the middle class is not dying and robots are not
stealing our jobs. In fact, writes Adam Davidson--one of our
leading public voices on economic issues-- the twenty-first-century
economic paradigm offers new ways of making money, fresh paths
toward professional fulfillment, and unprecedented opportunities
for curious, ambitious individuals to combine the things they love
with their careers. Drawing on the stories of average people doing
exactly this--an accountant overturning his industry, a sweatshop
owner's daughter fighting for better working conditions, an Amish
craftsman meeting the technological needs of Amish farmers--as well
as the latest academic research, Davidson shows us how the
twentieth-century economy of scale has given way in this century to
an economy of passion. He makes clear, too, that though the
adjustment has brought measures of dislocation, confusion, and even
panic, these are most often the result of a lack of understanding.
In The Passion Economy, he delineates the ground rules of the new
economy, and armed with these, we begin to see how we can succeed
in it according to its own terms--intimacy, insight, attention,
automation, and, of course, passion. An indispensable road map and
a refreshingly optimistic take on our economic future.
In the first of a potential new series Florian Richter presents
colour profile models of every ship on both sides in this epic

Whether you love growing, love creating, or just want to liven up
your outdoor space, a container garden is just the answer. So many
of us nowadays are crammed into our homes and a garden is a luxury
that few can afford. But there is always room for a bit of
greenery; whether it's herbs and spices to add fresh flavour to
your food, or putting a jungle on your windowsill, a container can
enable growers to bring nature to the most inhospitable and
smallest spaces. Frances Tophill covers the sustainable, crafty and
culinary aspects of container gardening. From urns and troughs to
chimney stacks and hanging baskets alongside what to grow inside
them - bonsai to annuals, bulbs, grasses and bamboos, tumbling and
creeping plants and flowers - there are also 40 ideas on how to
pair plants and pots, including upcycling existing items and
creating your own containers.
A comprehensive guide to the use of expanded plastic foam materials
in aircraft modelling. This manual quickly takes the newcomer to
foam building techniques up to expert level. Foam is a relatively
recent addition to the range of materials used to make model
aeroplanes, and many modellers are still not familiar with the
necessary information and techniques. The author describes the
choice of foam, the materials for strengthening and covering, and
tools and glues to create not only wings and fuselages, but also
cowlings, mouldings and much more besides. This revised edition of
David Thomas's book has been extensively updated by Sid King, who
has a wide experience of foam modelling and foam component
fabrication, both as a hobbyist and commercially. Many new tricks
and techniques are included, plus the latest information on the
many new materials currently used. The book contains a wealth of
useful information for new projects and repairs, and
scratch-building from foam.

You don't need to own a factory to make toys. Author and toymaker
Bob Knetzger has been making fun stuff all his life with simple
technology like vacuum forming and mold-making. In an age where
makers are tantalized by the capabilities of 3d printers and other
digital fab technology, this book takes you back to old-school hand
tools, simple electronics, and working with metal and plastic to
make toys every bit as good as those you can find in a big-box
store. This book has something for everyone, from a marble maze to
a talking booby trap; from custom cookie cutters to an "EZ Make"
oven. Discover the basic principles of science, electronics, and
engineering through hands-on projects that range from easy to more
challenging...and are always fun!
Want to save cash, your child's imagination and possibly even the
planet? This is the book you need. Packed with great photos of real
families in the outdoors, Born to Be Wild contains easy-to-follow
instructions for activities that require nothing more sophisticated
than a small person's imagination and access to a little outdoor
space. Nature lays on magical materials for free each season, from
fallen leaves and twigs, moulted feathers, sand and shells, to mud,
puddles and rain. Everything else you'll need for these activities
is already hiding in your cupboards at home. No expensive art
supplies of outward-bound kit required. All you need are the
toolkit items at the front of the book - ordinary household
essentials like scraps of paper, string, glue, recycled food
containers and an empty jar or two. Along the way Hattie talks to
families, organisations and communities who have rebuilt their
relationships with nature with extreme or inspiring results, and
she introduces scientists, psychologists and other experts who
explain why, as modern families, we should revive our waning
relationships with nature, whatever age or stage we're at.

This book deals with the process of choosing and using a milling
machine and its accessories. In addition to the machine itself, the
accessories include the cutters, cutter chucks, workpiece clamps,
vices, angle plates, dividing heads, rotary tables, boring heads
and other minor items. The content is divided into three main
sections. Firstly, it describes what machines and accessories are
available and covering each one in detail. The author explains
which are essential and which can be obtained when the workshop
activity eventually demands one. There are also suggestions on how
the equipment chosen should be installed. The usage of each machine
and accessory is covered for all but their most complex uses.
Typically, using the rotary table and the dividing head are both
described to a detail sufficient for the majority of uses that will
surface in the home workshop. The third section deals with the
actual machining process, covering the choice of the cutter for the
task in hand, the speeds to use and how the direction of the feed
relative to the cutter rotation is vitally important. A
less-understood feature of milling, back cutting, is also
explained. The subject of sharpening milling tools is briefly
covered and a simple off hand grinder fixture that will bring new
life to a used end mill is described.
The Mini-Lathe has become the best-selling item of machinery in the hobby engineering market - often purchased as a first step by beginners to the hobby.

The Mini-Lathe covers:
- Safety,
- Preparing the lathe,
- Tooling materials and geometry,
- Tooling up,
- Getting started,
- Gear cover,
- Head stock dividing attachment,
- Modifications for milling,
- Improving rigidity,
- Guided centre punch, filing rest, use of steadies and chuck depth stop,
- Toolpost powered spindle, saw table and grinding rest ,
