Marzipan Magic: Animal Modelling Made EasyMarzipan Magic: Animal Modelling Made Easy

Maisie Parrish, Jenny Stewart, "Marzipan Magic: Animal Modelling Made Easy" B.Dutton Publishing 2003| ISBN-10: 0953258866 | 48 Pages | PDF | 7,3 MB Review: Ms Parish has a wonderful talent and the modeled animals in the booklet are beautiful, but I found the physical layout of the pages to be cramped and the instructions lacked step-by-step photos. First of all the book is very small 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" and the text in tiny (8 pt) making it very difficult to read. I actually enlarged the pages on a color copier so I could read them without straining my eyes. Second, while the text instructions are very thorough, there are no detail photographs or diagrams to support the step-by-step written directions. There is one large photograph of the completed project and one small (3" x 2 1/2") group shot showing all the individual pieces (arms, legs, tail, nose, ext) that make up the finished piece. I'm not an experienced modeler, so close-up photo illustrating each detailed instruction would have been a great help. But regardless of the small text size and lack of step-by-step photos, the booklet is a little gem. The animals are so cute and with some practice, they are easy to reproduce Uploading Turbobit mirror

Hedonizing Technologies: Paths to Pleasure in Hobbies and Leisure

Rachel P. Maines, "Hedonizing Technologies: Paths to Pleasure in Hobbies and Leisure" The Johns Hopkins University Press | 2009 | ISBN: 0801891469 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB Rachel P. Maines's latest work examines the rise of hobbies and leisure activities in Western culture from antiquity to the present day. As technologies are "hedonized," consumers find increasing pleasure in the hobbies' associated tools, methods, and instructional literature. Work once essential to survival and comfort -- gardening, hunting, cooking, needlework, home mechanics, and brewing -- have gradually evolved into hobbies and recreational activities. As a result, the technologies associated with these pursuits have become less efficient but more appealing to the new class of leisure artisans. Maines interprets the growth and economic significance of hobbies in terms of broad consumer demand for the technologies associated with them. Hedonizing Technologies uses bibliometric and retail census data to show the growth in world markets for hobby craft tools, books, periodicals, and materials from the late 18th century to today. The book addresses basic issues in the history of labor and industry and makes an original contribution to the discussion of how technology and people interact.
