Woven Tapestry is an in-depth practical guide to the technique of this unique art form, and to finding creative expression within it.Progressive exercises based on the authors combined 50 years experience are used to explain technique from making a first sample through to finished pieces. These are illustrated by over 400 specially woven samples and diagrams. The underlying principles are outlined and applied in a contemporary and creative way. Full-page images illustrate the qualities of line, colour, pattern and texture unique to woven tapestry, and the rich and exciting range of yarns available. Exercises in making and interpreting designs guide the developing weaver towards making individually creative work. Woven Tapestry offers the reader the technical skills and understanding needed to make expressive and beautiful work of their own. By working with several weft threads simultaneously, tapestry weaving becomes highly nuanced and is capable of complex imagery. Exercises in design show how to make use of the unique qualities that woven tapestry has to offer. The initial techniques are fundamentally simple and are clearly explained using only basic equipment and readily available yarns. The reader is encouraged to take time in learning, and to look closely whilst working. The continuous slow under over rhythm of weft passing through warp can promote a mental space in which to think and feel more deeply, and ultimately to create.Right from the first exercise there are creative choices to be made. By progressing to more advanced techniques, and working with many types and combinations of yarns, the expressive freedom available to the developing weaver soon becomes endless.

Reimagine Your Theology of Faith and Work Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; theyre a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanitys purpose, but were no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective.In Worth Doing, David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski embrace the realities of limitations, challenging the myths of "You are what you do" and "Do what you love." Instead, they propose a theology of work that affirms the goodness of human limits while addressing the realities of fallenness, offering hope for those who may not find deep fulfillment in their daily jobs.Buschart and Tafilowski outline a new vision of work that resonates with all workers, recognizing that every job has value, even when it doesnt align with idealized notions of purpose or calling. By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesnt feel deeply fulfilling.In Worth Doing, readers will: Gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling. Learn how to embrace human limitations as part of Gods good design. Reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing. Worth Doing invites readers to consider their limitations as valuable aspects of their vocational journey, offering a thoughtful framework for addressing the complexities of work. This book is particularly relevant for theologians examining the intersections of work, faith, and rest; Christian educators; and leaders in the faith and work space. By moving beyond conventional theological approaches to faith and work, Worth Doing presents a hopeful and theologically rich perspective on vocation that acknowledges and embraces human limitations.

But even amidst a tide of chaos and fear, hope remains.Join Thrall, Jaina Proudmoore, Renzik the Shiv, Faerin Lothar, Alleria Windrunner, and the Locus-Walker in this new collection of novellas and short stories that provide deeper insight into the powers at play and the battles still to fight following The War Within.

Every day, we are exposed to evidence of hundreds of war crimes: residential buildings bombed and burning in Ukraine, merciless shootings in Gaza despite a so-called ceasefire, civilians beaten and starved by armies in Sudan and a mounting number of aid workers and journalists murdered by soldiers. The evidence proves guilt beyond reasonable doubt, but we know there will be few, if any, prosecutions.In this powerful book, distinguished human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson exposes the fraud that is international humanitarian law. Drawing on his experience as a UN war crimes judge, he considers some of the most pressing legal issues of our time, including torture, nuclear weapons, drone warfare and the fallacy of anticipatory self-defence. In the face of such threats, and with an impotent Security Council neutered by the worlds most powerful aggressors, modern democracies are increasingly vulnerable to conflict and invasion.Most importantly in an age of amoral warlords like Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, the book warns that we are losing sight of Nurembergs legacy: that there can be no peace without justice. This authoritative and deeply humane work is both a rallying defence of moral law and a resounding condemnation of those who defy it.

Most people plan forwardthey set a goal, then figure out the next step, then the step after that. By step five, theyve lost sight of the destination and drifted into busyness. Six months later, theyre nowhere closer to their goal. Forward planning fails because its vague and easily derailed.Work Backwards to Win introduces backward planning, a strategic method where you start from your desired end state and reverse-engineer the exact path required to reach it. Instead of hoping youll eventually arrive, you map the journey in reverse, revealing dependencies, timing, and the critical milestones that actually matter. This clarity transforms goal-setting from wishful thinking into a navigable roadmap.Inside youll learn how to vividly define your end goal with enough specificity that backward planning becomes possible, then work through each required phase in reverse sequence. Youll identify the prerequisites each milestone depends on, spot potential obstacles before they derail you, and allocate realistic time and resources to each phase. Youll discover how to use backward planning across different time horizonsfrom a 90-day project to a five-year career transformation to a lifetime ambition.This method also reveals which goals are actually achievable versus which ones are fantasies that ignore real constraints. By working backward, you either confirm your goal is possible and have a clear path forward, or you discover early that the goal needs adjustment. Real examples show entrepreneurs launching businesses, professionals making career transitions, and individuals completing major life projects by using backward planning to cut through confusion and move with precision.Once you experience the clarity of working backward, forward planning feels like wandering blindfolded.

Words from the Hedge is a passionate evocation of the history, beauty and importance of our hedgerows by a craftsman who has been laying hedges for almost three decades and has the scars to prove it. Hedges are as old as civilisation and as emblematic of the British countryside as chalk streams, hay meadows and oak trees. But unlike woodland and rivers, farmland hedges remain on the periphery of the public consciousness, often going unnoticed and almost always underappreciated. Wielding his pen as deftly he does a billhook, professional hedgelayer Richard Negus takes us on a journey that reveals these ribbons of thorn and barb are so much more than mere decoration or boundary markers. They are essential for much-needed wildlife recovery. If we dont get our hedges right, there is little hope for species like the almost-extinct turtledove.And yet, no hedge is truly wild; each one is a testament to generations of human skill and labour, requiring ongoing maintenance to survive and thrive. But there is a problem: we need more hedgelayers, and this is something Negus is trying to solve.Introducing a lively band of fellow countrymen and countrywomen along the way, Negus explores everything from the practical complexities of modern farming and land ownership to the challenges faced by conservationists. Written with vigour and humour, as well as rare insight and honesty, Words from the Hedge is a timely exploration of how we can use hedges to make the British countryside a place where nature has a home.

World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Bakers latest collection is his most ambitious yet. Following on from the success of Unashamed (Burning Eye, 2022), Harry Baker combines the insight of a mathematician and the vulnerability of the poet to find wonder in the little things that make life so precious. From a poem about wellies becoming an exploration of masculinity, a poem planning his own funeral inspiring thousands around the world to do the same, or a poem about his favourite German wheat-beer literally just being a poem about his favourite German wheat-beer, The combination of grief and joy in recent poems has led to Harry being described as the Barbenheimer of the poetry world (by himself, but he is hoping it catches on).
