There is something irresistible about baby knits and they are all the more special if they are made by hand. Each piece in this collection has been designed using Sublime's Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK. This reassuringly delicate, soft and smooth yarn is the gentlest, natural blend next to your baby's skin. With emphasis on the quick and easy to knit, the 15 designs are essentially simple knits with a little design twist to give them individual style.
Alexander McCall Smith, best-selling author of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, has turned his hand to humour. The delightful result is a creation of comic genius. For in the unnaturally tall form of Professor Doctor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, we are invited to meet a memorable character whose sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of Frasier Crane and of Inspecteur Clouseau’s hapless gaucherie.
Often labelled as ‘indescribable’, the sublime is a term that has been debated for centuries amongst writers, artists, philosophers and theorists. Usually related to ideas of the great, the awe-inspiring and the overpowering, the sublime has become a complex yet crucial concept in many disciplines. Offering historical overviews and explanations, Philip Shaw looks at: the legacy of the earliest, classical theories of the sublime through the romantic to the postmodern and avant-garde sublimity
Words! Words! Words!- Words are fun! Words understood, explained, defined, differentiated, used, abused; words of great writers and poets, words of schoolboys and girls; descriptive, active, perceptive, living words - these are the themes of Dr. Andrew Scotland's book. By examples, suggestions, exercises, narrative, poetry and above all by humour, he seeks to rouse the reader to an interest in and a right use of words. The approach is daring: schoolboy puns jostle with sublime passages from the great masters of words; lighthearted sketches offset thorough and scholarly examinations of the derivations of words, and Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes.
