Blacksmithing : a guide to practical metalworking, tools and techniques
\"Skilled artisans at the heart of human civilization since the Iron Age, blacksmiths gained the respect of their communities through the utility of their creations, whether these were weapons, armour, farming tools, wagon axles or household items. Industrialization and mass production may have led to the disappearance of the blacksmith from everyday life, but the art of metalworking is alive and well. Today, blacksmithing is still practised throughout the world and is experiencing a revival. Blacksmithing provides a photographic introduction to blacksmith practices today from an expert teacher, offering the novice and enthusiast an insight into this ancient trade. Learn how blacksmiths heat the metal using a variety of methods, including electric induction and traditional coal-fired forges; see the huge range of items that a metalworker can produce, including wrenches, shovels, door plates, bicycle stands and railings; see craftspeople practicing specialist metalworking techniques, such as upsetting, collaring, twisting, fullering and swaging; and understand how blacksmiths respect the environment by using old iron ore and scrap iron. Illustrated with 350 photographs -- many of them of the author at work, with step-by-step guides -- that will instruct and inspire, Blacksmithing is a dazzling pictorial celebration of a craft as old as civilization itself.\"--Publisher website.

BOOK
Oneness Pentecostalism
This volume traces the history of Oneness Pentecostalism in
North America. It maps the major ideas, arguments, periodization,
and historical figures; corrects long-standing misinterpretations;
and draws attention to how race and gender impacted the growth and
trajectories of this movement.
Oneness Pentecostalism emerged in the aftermath of the Azusa
Street Revival (1906-9), baptizing its members in the name of Jesus
Christ rather than the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and
splintering from trinitarian Pentecostals. With its rapid growth
throughout the twentieth century, especially among ethnic
minorities, Oneness Pentecostalism assumed a diversity of
theological, ethnic, and cultural expressions. This book reckons
with the multiculturalism of the movement over the course of the
twentieth century. While common interpretations tend to emphasize
the restorationist impulse of Oneness Pentecostalism, leading to
notions of a static, unchanging movement, the contributors to this
work demonstrate that the movement is much more fluid and that the
interpretation of its history and theology should be grounded in
the variegated North American contexts in which Oneness
Pentecostalism has taken root and dynamically developed.
Groundbreaking and interdisciplinary, this volume presents
diverse perspectives on a significant religious movement whose
modern origins are embedded within the larger Pentecostal story. It
will be welcomed by religious studies scholars and by practitioners
of Oneness Pentecostalism.
In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume are
Daniel Chiquete, Dara Coleby Delgado, Patricia Fortuny-Loret de
Mola, Manuel Gaxiola, David Reed, Rosa Sailes, and Daniel
Segraves.

Being Together in Place
Being Together in Placeexplores the landscapes that convene Native and non-Native people into sustained and difficult negotiations over their radically different interests and concerns. Grounded in three sites-the Cheslatta-Carrier traditional territory in British Columbia; the Wakarusa Wetlands in northeastern Kansas; and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in Aotearoa/New Zealand-this book highlights the challenging, tentative, and provisional work of coexistence around such contested spaces as wetlands, treaty grounds, fishing spots, recreation areas, cemeteries, heritage trails, and traditional village sites. At these sites, activists learn how to articulate and defend their intrinsic and life-supportive ways of being, particularly to those who are intent on damaging or destroying these places.
Using ethnographic research and a geographic perspective, Soren C. Larsen and Jay T. Johnson show how the communities in these regions challenge the power relations that structure the ongoing (post)colonial encounter in liberal democratic settler-states. Emerging from their conversations with activists was a distinctive sense that the places for which they cared had agency, a \"call\" that pulled them into dialogue, relationships, and action with human and nonhuman others. This being-together-in-place, they find, speaks in a powerful way to the vitalities of coexistence: where humans and nonhumans are working to decolonize their relationships; where reciprocal guardianship is being stitched back together in new and unanticipated ways; and where a new kind of \"place thinking\" is emerging on the borders of colonial power.

Outlines in Orthopaedic Surgery

Surgery requires a combination of knowledge and skill acquired through years of direct observation, mentorship, and practice. The learning curve can be steep, frustrating, and intimidating for many medical students and junior residents. Too often, books and texts that attempt to translate the art of surgery are far too comprehensive for this audience and counterproductive to learning important basic skills to succeed. Outlines in Orthopaedic Surgery by Valentin Antoci and Adam Eltorai is the orthopaedic volume in a series of textbooks that offer a simplified roadmap to surgery. The text serves as starting point for learning orthopaedic surgery techniques, with room for adding notes, details, and pearls collected during the journey.
This unique resource outlines key steps for common orthopaedic procedures, laying a solid foundation of basic knowledge from which trainees can easily build and expand. Thirty-five chapters are systematically organized and formatted by subspecialty, starting with an introduction, followed by sections covering surgery of the hand, shoulder and elbow, joint arthroplasty, sports orthopaedics, spine surgery, orthopaedic trauma, foot and ankle, and pediatrics. Each chapter includes symptoms and signs, surgical pathology, diagnostic modalities, differential diagnosis, treatment options, indications for surgical intervention, step-by-step procedures, pitfalls, and prognosis.
Key Features
* Concise text and bullets provide quick procedural outlines essential for understanding procedural steps
* The generously illustrated text encompasses a full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders related to degenerative changes, injuries, and congenital conditions
