[...]it is seriously lacking in chronological depth, as is apparent from among the first books which I pulled from the shelves of Betty's and my library; see copies enclosed. [The writer enclosed several illustrations from The Art of Medieval Technology Images of Noah the Shipbuilder by Richard W Unger (New Brunswick, NJ.: Rutgers University Press) one of which is printed above.] Indeed, I am quite certain that baskets for tool carrying can be dated to the thirteen or possible twelfth century without a great deal of exertion.

Willow : a guide to growing and harvesting ; plus 20 beautiful woven projects
Master basket maker and willow grower, Jenny Crisp, teaches you some of the key basket weaving techniques to make 20 simple projects without the need for complicated tools. As natural materials such as wood, leather, rattan and cork continue to be used in the home, handmade woven objects, from bread baskets and trays to stools and screens, are fast becoming the must-have accessories of the contemporary interior. Master basket maker and willow grower, Jenny Crisp, teaches you some of the key weaving techniques to make 20 simple willow projects without the need of complicated tools. Jenny's approach is innovative and moves forward beyond the old patterns and boundaries, to allow the reader to make work that is fresh and for contemporary use.

Art of the Interwoven
Appearing on this month’s cover is a jar-shaped basket created by Sara Hunter, who belonged to the Panamint Shoshone Tribe and was, according to the Cleveland Museum of Art, the last American Indian basket weaver to live in the Saline Valley on the edge of what is now Death Valley National Park in California. The US National Park service notes, “They hunted and followed seasonal migrations for harvesting of pinyon pine nuts and mesquite beans with their families. Later, as settlers, silver miners, and others moved into the region, the Portland Art Museum explains that “the fine quality of Panamint baskets created a collectors’ market, which lasted well into the mid-twentieth century.

New clinical trial designs in the era of precision medicine
Cancer treatment has made significant strides towards the promise of personalized medicine. Recent scientific advances have shown that there are numerous genetic deregulations that are common in multiple cancer types, raising the possibility of developing drugs targeting those deregulations irrespective of the tumour type. Precision Cancer Medicine (PCM) was born out of accumulated evidence matching targeted agents with these tumour molecular deregulations. At the same time, the therapeutic armamentarium is rapidly increasing and the number of new drugs (including immune‐oncology agents) entering drug development continues to rise. These factors, added to strong collaboration with regulatory agencies, which have approved novel agents based on data obtained from phase 1/2 trials, have led to unprecedented evolution in the design of early‐stage clinical trials. Currently, we have seen rapid phase 1 dose‐escalation trials followed by remarkably large expansion cohorts, and are witnessing the emergence of new trials, such as adaptive studies with basket and umbrella designs aimed at optimizing the biomarker–drug co‐development process. Alongside the growing complexity of these clinical trials, new frameworks for stronger and faster collaboration between all stakeholders in drug development, including academic institutions and frameworks, clinicians, pharma companies and regulatory agencies, have been established. In this review article, we describe the main challenges and opportunities that these new trial designs may provide for a more efficient drug development process, which may ultimately help ensure that PCM becomes a reality for patients. New clinical trial designs are helping optimize early drug development. An umbrella trial is a master protocol for which the patient's eligibility is defined by the presence of a tumour type that is substratified according to specific molecular alterations matched to different anticancer therapies. Basket trials include patients with different tumour types with a common molecular alteration who are treated with the same matched therapy.
