Some creasing to a few pages at end. Numerous Illustrations Some in Colour. 115 pages clean and tight, Here is a different and exciting concept of bargello embroidery. Instead of working in parallel lines of zigzags, diamonds and curves, you make kalcidescope patterns, fanning out from the center in four identical wedges. You may use either very bright colors or subtle monotones and the long bargello stitches can be combined with other canvas stitches-the possibilities are endless and the results are extremely effective. Bargello is a particularly satisfying form of needlepoint as it requires no designs painted on the canvas-which reduces the cost considerably-and it is quick and easy to do. There is such a fascination in watching the pattern develop line by line that it is hard to put down. Anyone who… Read More

When the Southern states seceded to form their own government in 1861, one of their first moves was to organise an army. The South's fighting men served from the time of their enlistment until the end of the war, receiving poor rations, and even worse clothing – and this despite the fact that one of the first steps taken by the new army was to design a uniform and establish standards for accoutrements and weapons. In this first of five volumes examining American Civil War armies, Philip Katcher profiles the uniforms issued by the national Confederate government to its artillery, cavalry and infantry troops. .

In 1784, at the age of 21, John Jacob Astor I reached New York from Europe to begin the career which was to assure his descendants of becoming millionaires.

This is not because of a profound cultural divide between England and Scotland but because recent decades have seen the rebuilding of Scotland as a political community while the ideology and practices of the old unionism have atrophied. Yet while Britishness is in decline, it has not been replaced by a dominant ideology of Scottish independence. Rather Scots are looking to renegotiate union to find a new place in the Isles, in Europe, and in the world. There are few legal, constitutional or political obstacles to Scottish independence, but an independent Scotland would need to forge a new social and economic project as a small nation in the global market-place, and there has been little serious… Read More
