Quilter Martha Rose must patch together the clues to solve the murder of a cult leader in the California mountains . . . Has Martha’s fellow quilter and dear friend Birdie Watson become unraveled? Birdie and her new husband have decided to join the Mystical Feather Society, a spiritist group living on a commune in the mountains of Ojai, California. Before her free-spirited friend makes a huge mistake, Martha organizes a surprise visit to check out the commune. While white-robed members conduct a seancé in a glass yurt, their leader—Royal St. Germain—is nowhere to be found . . . until, that is, Martha and her friends discover him shot in their Winnebago. Now Martha must track down the killer and debunk the cult—before it's bye bye Birdie . . . Praise for Mary Marks and her Quilting Mysteries “A pleasurable and satisfying addition to any quilting mystery fan’s reading list.” —Library Journal on Knot in My Backyard “A mystery combined with wry humor.” —Kirkus Reviews on Knot My Sister’s Keeper

The complete and definitive bible of knots for seafarers. Featuring all the knots, hitches, bends, splices, whipping and decorative knotwork that you would find on a boat, this comprehensive bible of knots will help those who go to sea master every knot they will need. Over 200 knots are scored for strength, reliability, ease of tying (and untying) and usefulness. Step by step photographs show how to tie each knot, and demonstrate how they can be used, such as in the rigging or for tying boats up. Interesting knot know-how sections give extra information about the knot's history, plus helpful tips and techniques, including choosing the right rope for the right task and using the right knot. With a beautiful modern design, and highly illustrated with full colour photographs and instructive diagrams throughout, The Knot Bible remains accessible to all sailors of all levels of experience whilst still being the king of knot books.

The physical properties of knotted and linked configurations in space have long been of interest to mathematicians. More recently, these properties have become significant to biologists, physicists, and engineers among others. Their depth of importance and breadth of application are now widely appreciated and valuable progress continues to be made each year.This volume presents several contributions from researchers using computers to study problems that would otherwise be intractable. While computations have long been used to analyze problems, formulate conjectures, and search for special structures in knot theory, increased computational power has made them a staple in many facets of the field. The volume also includes contributions concentrating on models researchers use to understand knotting, linking, and entanglement in physical and biological systems. Topics include properties of knot invariants, knot tabulation, studies of hyperbolic structures, knot energies, the exploration of spaces of knots, knotted umbilical cords, studies of knots in DNA and proteins, and the structure of tight knots. Together, the chapters explore four major themes: physical knot theory, knot theory in the life sciences, computational knot theory, and geometric knot theory.

“Mr. Petit is the perfect teacher” in this fascinating, educational volume on knot-tying—an art and science that has held civilization together (The Wall Street Journal). Philippe Petit is known for his astounding feat of daring when, on August 7, 1974, he stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between the World Trade Center’s twin towers in New York City. But beyond his balance, courage, and showmanship, there was one thing Petit had to be absolutely certain of—his knots. Without the confidence that his knots would hold, he never would have left the ground. In fact, while most of us don’t think about them beyond tying our shoelaces, the humble knot is crucial in countless contexts, from sailing to sports to industrial safety to art, agriculture, and more. In this truly unique book, Petit offers a guide to tying over sixty of his essential knots, with practical sketches illustrating his methods and clear tying instructions. Filled with photos in which special knots were used during spectacular high-wire walks, quirky knot trivia, personal anecdotes, helpful tips, magic tricks, and special tying challenges, Why Knot? will entertain and educate readers of all ages. “In reading Philippe’s book we are cogently reminded that without the ability to secure a rope, or tether a goat, or make fast the sheets of a galley, much of the civilization that we take for granted would disappear as easily as a slipknot in the hands of a Vegas conjuror.” —Sting, musician and activist “His descriptions are clear, he deploys humor frequently and he makes his points with anecdotes that are colorful and memorable. Explaining the purpose and creation of knots and thanks to those flawless drawings Mr. Petit earns perfect marks.” —The Wall Street Journal

Chinese knotting means the joining of two cords. The cord is originally braided by our ancestors as a tool to bind and tie with knots. The knot is also an ancient means of recording, which is the precursor of Chinese characters. "Cord" in Chinese sounds similar to "God" in the language, and the shape of a cord is similar to that of a Chinese dragon, so the knot is considered sacred. Then the knot gradually evolves into a kind of decoration, which is endowed with the connotation of beauty. The Chinese knot is also a relatively common handicraft in our modern life, so it is named "Chinese knot." There are numerous ways of tying Chinese knots and their materials are various. Besides different types of cords, the materials could be paper strips, cloth strips, or even reed leaves. The Chinese knotting methods are countless. A seemingly simple cord can be transformed into a variety of objects through simple or complicated knotting. Each basic knot is made by weaving a single rope from the beginning to the end. After continuously and orderly shuttling and winding in between the rows of ropes, the rope forms symmetric knot ornaments, whose obverse and reverse sides are the same. Besides, the two ends of the rope are connected, and it seems the knots have no beginning or ending. The Chinese knots are tight bound, so they are unlikely to become loose when binding things. Therefore, they are very practical. The Chinese knots can be divided into three categories: basic knots, derivative knots, and combination knots. Apart from the skill required to master a variety of basic knotting techniques, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of each knot in order to make changes and combinations, or even to innovate new knots. Because of their unique oriental charm, and magical and various changes, Chinese knots attract more and more people. Like Chinese paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, Chinese knots are easily recognizable by foreigners nowadays. Chinese knots are unadorned, solemn, and elegant. People also name them after their shapes and symbolic meanings. The lucky knot implies auspiciousness and good luck. The Panchang knot represents continuation and longevity. The double coin knot means that good things happen in pairs and that the source of wealth is abundant. Each knot offers sincere blessings and great wishes. The Chinese knot is not only graceful and rich in implications, but also a valuable cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. It reflects the spiritual connotation of the Chinese nation to some extent. As part of the precious national cultural heritage, Chinese knotting is expected to flourish and add warmth and blessings to people's lives, as well as to bring joy and satisfaction to the makers.

When you are going through separation or divorce it can often feel like there is no way through the pain and conflict. No small light twinkling at the end of the tunnel. Will it always feel this bad? How will you heal the hurt of your children? Will this damage them for life? How will you cope with increased costs and reduced money? Where will you live? Will you ever find peace and happiness again? Part personal story, part expert guide, Untying the Knot takes you through the process of separation as both parents and friends. From the very first days of unfathomable heartache, through telling the children, what to do with the family home and dealing with conflicts, to finding yourself, coming out the other side and much more. Written by Kate Gunn, with excerpts from ex-husband Kristian, Untying the Knot also provides dedicated expert advice from the likes of Emma Kenny, resident psychologist for ITV’s This Morning; Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist and author of Cotton Wool Kids and Bully-Proof Kids; Sara Byrne, clinical psychologist; and Deirdre Burke, barrister, solicitor and family law mediator. If you’re looking for a helping hand to lead you through the darkness, this is it.

Over the last fifteen years, the face of knot theory has changed due to various new theories and invariants coming from physics, topology, combinatorics and alge-bra. It suffices to mention the great progress in knot homology theory (Khovanov homology and Ozsvath-Szabo Heegaard-Floer homology), the A-polynomial which give rise to strong invariants of knots and 3-manifolds, in particular, many new unknot detectors. New to this Edition is a discussion of Heegaard-Floer homology theory and A-polynomial of classical links, as well as updates throughout the text. Knot Theory, Second Edition is notable not only for its expert presentation of knot theory’s state of the art but also for its accessibility. It is valuable as a profes-sional reference and will serve equally well as a text for a course on knot theory.
