Starting with two layers on four shafts, and methodically building up a repertoire of design elements from blocks and curves to colour and structure, this book offers something for everyone from the double cloth novice to the experienced weaver. Every element is illustrated with samples and full-colour drafts, and practical advice is supported by detailed photographs of warping, weaving and finishing techniques. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on offering a choice of approaches in both design and construction, equipping the reader with the tools to pursue their own vision for double cloth and bring it to life at the loom.

From the former Poet Laureate, a remarkable contemplation of departure and return.Andrew Motions new collection gives a moving account of the friction and interplay between past and present. In the opening elegies for friends and former versions of the self, and in the long title sequence which completes the book, he explores the ways in which regrets compete with hope, and the appetite for life is always a prey to hard facts of mortality. The energy and reach of these poems opens a new chapter in Motions writing, remaining true to the elegiac subjects which have always been his main concern, while adding new depths of pathos and resonance.

We proudly upgrade our voice assistants, smart thermostats, and wireless security cameras every few years, celebrating the clean, frictionless efficiency of modern domestic automation. Yet, this relentless cycle of consumer convenience is quietly generating the most toxic and rapidly expanding stream of physical garbage in human history.Far from the polished retail stores of the West, millions of discarded internet-connected devices are systematically exported to unregulated rural landscapes. Here, highly toxic heavy metals and rare earth elements leach into the groundwater, transforming once-fertile agricultural regions into hazardous technological wastelands simply to sustain the illusion of infinite digital progress.This urgent environmental investigation traces the shadow logistics of global electronic waste. It exposes the corporate hypocrisy of planned hardware obsolescence, documents the devastating health impacts on the marginalized communities forced to process our discarded appliances, and calculates the true ecological price of a fully automated life.Confront the physical reality behind your wireless convenience, and demand a fundamental restructuring of how modern technology is manufactured, consumed, and ultimately destroyed.

Beneath the sleek glass screens and obsolete processors of discarded mobile devices lies an immense, untapped reservoir of raw economic power. While traditional mining conglomerates blast deep into the earths crust to find dwindling veins of precious metals, a new generation of sophisticated urban scavengers is quietly extracting billions of dollars in pure gold directly from urban landfills.The modern circuit board is a marvel of concentrated wealth, containing significantly higher yields of precious metals per ton than the richest natural ore deposits on the planet. Through a dangerous, highly unregulated combination of acid stripping and extreme heat, rogue metallurgists and innovative recycling startups are aggressively mining the invisible electronic graveyards of the twenty-first century, redefining the very concept of resource extraction.This deep economic dive exposes the hidden, hyper-lucrative world of modern e-waste alchemy. It details the complex chemical processes required to isolate microscopic gold from toxic silicon, profiles the shadow economies driving this massive industrial scavenging, and anticipates the future geopolitical battles over recycled digital hardware.Unlock the invisible vaults buried within your discarded electronics, and witness the birth of the most profitable mining industry in modern history.
