Knots, Splices and Rope Work: An Illustrated Handbook
This treasury of practical and ornamental knots ranges from easy half-hitches and bow-lines to intricate rope-work projects, such as rope buckles and cask slings. Detailed instructions accompany the 148 drawings, which show how each knot, tie, or splice is formed as well as its appearance when complete.
Following Hilbert, in our treatment of neutral geometry (called also absolute geometry and composed of facts true in both Euclidean and Lobachevskian geometries) we define points, lines, and planes as mathematical objects with the property that these objects, as well as some objects formed from them, like angles and triangles, satisfy the axioms listed in sections 1 through 4 of this chapter.
Shakespeare and Impure Aesthetics by Hugh GradyShakespeare and Impure Aesthetics explores ideas about art implicit in Shakespeare’s plays and defines specific Shakespearean aesthetic practices in his use of desire, death and mourning as resources for art. Hugh Grady draws on a tradition of aesthetic theorists who understand art as always formed in a specific historical moment but as also distanced from its context through its form and Utopian projections.
