Kevlar is a strong (40% stronger than fiberglass) material, perfect for building light-weight (35 pounds for a 17-foot canoe), fast, maintenance-free canoes. The only problem with Kevlar canoes is their cost--$2,000 or more. With this book, the most inexperienced home builder can turn out a handsome canoe for an investment of about $600 and a few weekends. The principal tools needed are a sharp pair of scissors and a $5 hand plane--and the method is astonishingly easy and forgiving. Featured are designs for a stable family canoe, a solo canoe, and a wilderness tripper, any of which can be built right from this book.

Faber and Faber

Wynkyn de Worde was William Caxton's assistant and in about 1500 he was the first printer to set up his shop in London's Fleet Street, which was for centuries perhaps the world's most famous centre of printing. He was not just a craftsman; his place in history is that of the first publisher to popularize the products of the printing press. His output was huge - more than 700 works over a period of 40 years. He produced a great variety of books: children's books, short histories, poetry, romances, instructions for pilgrims and works on good manners, marriage, household practice, medicines for horses and husbandry. Wynkyn de Worde laid the foundations of commercial publishing in Britain. For this revised third edition of James Moran's book, Lotte Hellinga and Mary Erler have provided a new introduction which takes account of recent research, and also a detailed chronological bibliography of works on Wynkyn de Worde.

Four Irish Rebel Plays

Collects together for the first time, plays written by the well-known Irish nationalists Patrick Pearse, Thomas MacDonagh, James Connolly, and Terence MacSwiney. In the months before 1916 MacDonagh staged When the Dawn is Come, and Pearse staged The Master, both works were designed to persuade the Dublin populace to support the advanced nationalist cause. At the same time, MacSwiney staged his play The Revolutionist in order to win the support of Redmondite nationalists in Cork. At Liberty Hall, only three weeks before taking part in the armed revolt of 1916, Connolly staged Under Which Flag? to persuade socialists to join the rebellion. The plays offer important insights into the rebels' political and military thinking. The introduction explains exactly how the plays influenced the Irish revolution between 1916 and 1921 and explores the theatrical influences that affected the rebels. The context of the plays original staging and subsequent influence both inside and outside the playhouse is also covered. The epilogue outlines the varying afterlives that the plays enjoyed once their authors were dead.
