A fresh redesign of the bestselling The Knot Handbook, this book is
an old favorite of a classic craft that is now being re-imagined
for new and old readers alike. Some Knots have been chosen for
their fame, some for their beauty, and some because they are knots
that everyone should know how to tie. This book will introduce
readers to time-honoured techniques: an intricate art that has been
practiced since before poetry or painting were dreamt of, which
can't be mastered in five minutes. An essential guide to 50 knots
and their uses Clear illustrations with easy-to-follow step-by-step
line drawings Anecdotes reveal the history or fascinating facts
about the featured knots Perfect gift for anyone interested in
outdoor living
By focusing on how the idea of heroism on the battlefield helped
construct, perpetuate, and challenge racial and gender hierarchies
in the United States between World War I and the present, Warring
over Valor provides fresh perspectives on the history of American
military heroism. The book offers two major insights into the
history of military heroism. First, it reveals a precarious
ambiguity in the efforts of minorities such as African Americans,
Asian Americans, Native Americans, women, and gay men to be
recognized as heroic soldiers. Paradoxically, America's heroism
discourse allowed them to press their case for full membership in
the nation, but doing so simultaneously validated the dichotomous
interpretations of race and gender they repudiated. The ambiguous
role of marginalized groups in war-related hero-making processes
also testifies to this volume's second general insight: the
durability and tenacity of the masculine warrior hero in U.S.
society and culture. Warring over Valor bridges a gap in the
historiography of heroism and military affairs.
