A form of handmade lace, tatting is a traditional skill with
origins dating back centuries and spanning continents. Each stitch
is composed of two half-hitch knots. The single thread is looped
and knotted with the aid of a small shuttle - a simple technique
that produces amazingly intricate results. This book shows how a
simple piece of tatting can be developed into something striking
and complex. The reader is guided through the process with
easy-to-follow diagrams and descriptions. The 15 stunning designs,
including many variants to experiment with, allow the tatting
disciple to explore the craft further. Ideas for how the basic
patterns can be developed are included, as well as suggestions such
as creating very different looks by varying the thread used.
Whatever your level of experience, "Mastering Tatting" offers the
chance to create something satisfying and unique to cherish or give
as a gift.

Exploring the interactions that swirl around scientific uncertainty
and its coverage by the mass media, this volume breaks new ground
by looking at these issues from three different perspectives: that
of communication scholars who have studied uncertainty in a number
of ways; that of science journalists who have covered these issues;
and that of scientists who have been actively involved in
researching uncertain science and talking to reporters about it. In
particular, "Communicating Uncertainty" examines how well the mass
media convey to the public the complexities, ambiguities, and
controversies that are part of scientific uncertainty.
In addition to its new approach to scientific uncertainty and mass
media interactions, this book distinguishes itself in the quality
of work it assembles by some of the best known science
communication scholars in the world. This volume continues the
exploration of interactions between scientists and journalists that
the three coeditors first documented in their highly successful
volume, "Scientists and Journalists: Reporting Science as News, "
which was used for many years as a text in science journalism
courses around the world.

Traditionally used for doyleys and edging handkerchiefs or collars,
there is much more that can be done with tatting with a bit of
imagination. Tatting is basically a handmade lace, with each stitch
composed of two half-hitch knots. The single thread is looped and
knotted with the aid of a small shuttle, and people are often
amazed that so simple a technique can produce such intricate
results. The appeal of the craft is that it is simple and portable,
you can take your tatting equipment anywhere, and now that Tatting
Collage is republished as a concealed spiral bound book it will be
easy to use 'on-the-go'. Tatting collage creates attractive designs
by combining small motifs and gluing them down to card, paper or
fabric. As well as offering great fun and flexibility, it also
avoids the need to handle large and complicated pieces of tatting -
a bonus if you are pressed for time or are new to the craft and
looking for encouragement. Whatever your level of experience,
Tatting Collage offers the chance to create something satisfying
and unique in a short space of time. * It is NOT a book to teach
how to tat. It assumes that readers will already be familiar with
the basic techniques, and includes a Further Reading list of books
for beginners to learn basic stitches. * It does include lots of
useful tips throughout and a Tools and Techniques section and the
How to Use this Book section explains how to follow the patterns
and designs. * Includes some of the easiest tatting patterns
possible through to more complex ones. * There is instruction to
make 65 patterns or motifs and 60 designs for everything from gift
tags to bookmarks and cards to paperweights and door finger plates.
* It encourages the reader to give free rein to the imagination and
develop skills to create distinctive gifts and decorative pieces.
More than six decades after John Dewey's death, his political
philosophy is undergoing a revival. With renewed interest in
pragmatism and its implications for democracy in an age of mass
communication, bureaucracy, and ever-increasing social
complexities, Dewey's The Public and Its Problems, first published
in 1927, remains vital to any discussion of today's political
issues. This edition of The Public and Its Problems, meticulously
annotated and interpreted with fresh insight by Melvin L. Rogers,
radically updates the previous version published by Swallow Press.
Rogers's introduction locates Dewey's work within its philosophical
and historical context and explains its key ideas for a
contemporary readership. Biographical information and a detailed
bibliography round out this definitive edition, which will be
essential to students and scholars both.
* Thoughtful exploration of midlife spirituality through the prism
of nature walks * Study questions for each section Roger Owens,
facing a "dark night of the soul" as he turned forty and entered
midlife, was en-couraged by his spiritual director to think of it
instead as a "threshold of discovery." Rather than go on a grand
adventure like walking the Appalachian Trail or the Camino de
Santiago, he decid-ed to mark his fortieth year by taking forty
walks in a nearby nature preserve. With patience and attention, he
explored the concerns rising with him: the inevitability of death,
his boredom with life, and the reality of his changing faith,
changing images of God, and changing sense of self. The result is
forty short chapters that weave together insightful stories of his
walks with accessi-ble history and practices of Christian
spirituality and the lives of saints. This field guide to the
spirituality of midlife facilitates readers' personal journeys
through ques-tions of faith, purpose, and relationships. It is not
solely a memoir, but a work of wisdom litera-ture that uses
engaging first-person narratives to explore universal themes and
spiritual inquiry. Wise and imaginative, and with study questions
for each section, Threshold of Discovery is the companion guide for
a thoughtful Christian journey.

The New Linguistic and Exegetical Key to the Greek New Testament is
ideal for students and for busy pastors whose knowledge of Greek
grammar is limited or rusty but who want to read the Greek New
Testament. It not only simplifies reading the text of the Greek New
Testament but also gives the reader a wealth of tools that a
lexicon and grammar alone cannot provide. For those with a basic
knowledge of first-year Greek grammar and vocabulary, this
completely revised and greatly expanded edition of the highly
successful Linguistic Key to the Greek New Testament (1982) makes
reading the Greek New Testament faster, easier, and more effective.
Going through the New Testament verse by verse, The New Linguistic
and Exegetical Key to the Greek New Testament provides help in
three areas: Lexical - It identifies unusual and uncommon word
forms that in the past had to be looked up in a lexicon, as well as
their meaning, based on BAGD and other standard lexicons.
Grammatical - It provides grammatical insights from the leading
Greek grammars, including Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the
Basics. Exegetical - As the title of this revised and expanded
edition indicates, The New Linguistic and Exegetical Key to the
Greek New Testament also provides the reader with a wealth of
exegetical insights and nuances, as well as references to a wide
range of commentaries, monographs, journal articles, historical
works, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and so forth.
A powerful new account of what a group of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century African American activists, intellectuals, and
artists can teach us about democracy Could the African American
political tradition save American democracy? African Americans have
had every reason to reject America’s democratic experiment. Yet
African American activists, intellectuals, and artists who have
sought to transform the United States into a racially just society
have put forward some of the most original and powerful ideas about
how to make America live up to its democratic ideals. In The
Darkened Light of Faith, Melvin Rogers provides a bold new account
of African American political thought through the works and lives
of individuals who built this vital tradition—a tradition that is
urgently needed today. The book reexamines how figures as diverse
as David Walker, Frederick Douglass, Anna Julia Cooper, Ida B.
Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, Billie Holiday, and James Baldwin thought
about the politics, people, character, and culture of a society
that so often dominated them. Sharing a light of faith darkened but
not extinguished by the tragic legacy of slavery, they resisted the
conclusion that America would always be committed to white
supremacy. They believed that democracy is always in the process of
becoming and that they could use it to reimagine society. But they
also saw that achieving racial justice wouldn’t absolve us of the
darkest features of our shared past, and that democracy must be
measured by how skillfully we confront a history that will forever
remain with us. An ambitious account of the profound ways African
Americans have reimagined democracy, The Darkened Light of Faith
offers invaluable lessons about how to grapple with racial
injustice and make democracy work.
Anthropologist and preservationist Robert S. Grumet has created
this up-to-date, well-written overview of historic contact with
Native Americans on the colonial frontier from a vast array of
documentary, archaeological, and ethnographic data never assembled
before. This is a definitive history of early Indian-white
relations in an area extending from Virginia to Maine and from the
Atlantic coast to the upper Ohio River. It will be read by
specialists and Indian-studies buffs alike. Historic Contact
divides native northeastern America into three subregions where the
histories of thirty-four "Indian Countries" are described and
mapped in detail, including all National Historic Landmarks. In the
North Atlantic Region are the Eastern and Western Abenaki,
Pocumtuck-Squakheag, Nipmuck, Pennacook-Pawtucket, Massachusett,
Wampanoag, Narragansett, Mohegan-Pequot, Montauk, Lower Connecticut
Valley, and Mahican Indian Countries; in the Middle Atlantic
Region, the Munsee, Delaware, Nanticoke, Piscataway-Potomac,
Powhatan, Nottoway-Meherrin, Upper Potomac-Shenandoah, Virginian
Piedmont, Southern Appalachian Highlands, and Lower Susquehanna
Indian Countries; and in the Trans-Appalachian Region, the Mohawk,
Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, Niagara-Erie, Upper Susquehanna,
and Upper Ohio Indian Countries. Readers interested in Indian
history and colonial America will value this basic reference, which
originated as a National Historic Landmarks Survey Theme Study.
Federal agencies, state and local preservation offices, and Indian
communities will use it as an excellent planning tool in making
evaluations and protection decisions.
In Putting the Humanities PhD to Work Katina L. Rogers grounds
practical career advice in a nuanced consideration of the current
landscape of the academic workforce. Drawing on surveys,
interviews, and personal experience, Rogers explores the evolving
rhetoric and practices regarding career preparation and how those
changes intersect with admissions practices, scholarly reward
structures, and academic labor practices-especially the increasing
reliance on contingent labor. Rogers invites readers to consider
how graduate training can lead to meaningful and significant
careers beyond the academy. She provides graduate students with
context and analysis to inform the ways they discern their own
potential career paths while taking an activist perspective that
moves toward individual success and systemic change. For those in
positions to make decisions in humanities departments or programs,
Rogers outlines the circumstances and pressures that students face
and gives examples of programmatic reform that address career
matters in structural ways. Throughout, Rogers highlights the
important possibility that different kinds of careers offer
engaging, fulfilling, and even unexpected pathways for students who
seek them out.
Peaceniks. Stoners. Tree huggers. Freaks. For many, the hippies of
the 1960s and early 1970 were immoral, drug-crazed kids too spoiled
to work and too selfish to embrace the American way of life. But
who were these longhaired dissenters bent on peace, love and
equality? What did they believe? What did they want? Are their
values still relevant today? Bringing together the personal
accounts and perspectives of 54 "old hippies", this book
illustrates how their lives and outlooks have changed over the past
five decades. Their collective narrative invites readers to reach
their own conclusions about the often misunderstood movement of
ordinary young people who faced an era of escalating war, civil
turmoil and political assassinations with faith in humanity and a
belief in the power of ideas.
