Rope : how a bundle of twisted fibers became the backbone of civilization / by Queeney, Tim,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages [291]-314) and index.Introduction: dad's knots -- Fibers from the Earth -- Beyond plants -- Roping the future.Tim Queeney is a sailor who knows more about rope and its importance to humankind than most. In Rope, Queeney takes readers on a ride through the history of rope and the way it weaves itself through the story of civilization. From Magellan's world-circling ships, to the 15th-century fleet of Admiral Zheng He, to Polynesian multihulls with crab claw sails, he shows how without rope, none of their adventurous voyages and discoveries would have been possible. Time traveling, he describes the building of the pyramids, the Roman Coliseum, Hagia Sofia, Notre Dame, the Sultan Hasan Mosque, the Brooklyn Bridge, and countless other constructions that would not have been possible without rope. Not content to just look at rope's past, Queeney looks at its present and possible future and how the re-invention of rope with synthetic fibers will likely provide the strength for cables to support elevators into space. Making the story of rope real for readers, Queeney tells remarkable nautical stories of his own reliance on rope at sea. Rope is history, adventure, and the story of one of the world's most common tools that has made it possible for humans to advance throughout the centuries.

101 skills you need to survive in the woods : the most effective wilderness know-how on fire-making, knife work, navigation, shelter, food and more / by Estela, Kevin,author.(CARDINAL)798193; Harton, Lauren,illustrator.(CARDINAL)823793;
Fire skills -- Shelter skills -- Knife skills -- Cordage skills -- Illumination skills -- Navigation skills -- Signaling and communication skills -- First-aid and trauma skills -- Water skills -- Food-gathering skills.The Foundation of All Survival Skills is "Feeder" Mind-Set. "Feeder" mind-set means being in control of a situation, proactive rather than reactive. It is an optimistic outlook that reframes any situation as a learning experience. Kevin Estela teaches survival skills from this feeder-based perspective, which is what separates his teaching style from other wilderness instructors. Kevin has written the quintessential guide for an outdoor enthusiast's "bucket list" of skills--how to make a fire, build a shelter, gather food, find water, use a knife correctly and make cordage. These skills will keep you safe and better prepare you to deal with emergencies in the field, when you'll need the additional skills of signaling and communication, navigation and crisis first aid taught in this book. Each chapter concludes with more advanced techniques to build your skills in various challenging situations, with tips that even seasoned survival enthusiasts haven't thought of. 101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods is not a onetime read but a lifetime reference you will turn to over and over again.
