Making the Unseen, Seen
This anthology began as a joint project between me, Dr. Laura Guertin, and Betsy Wilkening. Dr. Guertin and Betsy Wilkening have been creating fascinating exhibits at the Annual Geophysical Union meetings since 2021, which combine their love of fiber art with science. Their goal has been to educate, amuse, and inform the public about topics of scientific interest, and to raise awareness about global warming, climate change, environmental threats, and other changes to our planet, as well as some possible solutions. The first year focused on fiber art quilt creations, and since 2022, entries have expanded to include other forms of fiber art. In 2024, I suggested that we create a multimodal ekphrastic project, pairing fiber art with poetry. Several poems were made in time for the December 2024 American Geophysical Union exhibit to pair with fiber art. Throughout 2024 and early 2025, we accepted more submissions to create this book. Thus, some of the artwork in this book, added after the conference, takes the form of drawings, paintings, and even art in museums. However, each artwork accepted for the book was carefully chosen to fit with the theme to explore "making the unseen, seen" and to link science and art through poetry. The reader is strongly encouraged to read the Artist/Scientist Statements at the back of the book. They are wonderfully illuminating, and even non-scientists can learn from the brief explanations that accompany the thoughtful poems, which cover topics that concern us all, through the use of colorful illustrations. It has been a joy and a deeply satisfying challenge to match these poems with artists to create this book. We hope the reader will peruse the pages multiple times to glean deeper meanings through the layers of its pages. I am grateful to have such distinguished Associate Editors and colleagues as Dr. Guertin and Betsy Wilkening. It is a continuing pleasure to work with Jeanne Johansen and High Tide Publications to create such fine publications as this book! Contributing authors include: Donald Beagle, Emily Bilman, Joyce Brinkman, Sarah-Beth Bradley, Megan Brown, Emma M.

The Cutter's Practical Guide, Part 7
The bravest thing in war is a good retreat, and the cleverest thing in cutting is altering a bad fitting garment in such a way as to make it a good one. Who of us has not felt at a loss what to do when some unexpected difficulty has faced us, and how much at such times we have welcomed the advice of a friend. This work has been got up to prove just such a friend to every cutter in difficulty, and to help him in a practical way to overcome that which stands between him and success. This work is necessarily rather disjointed in its character, as it aims at describing, illustrating, and providing a remedy for most of the defects usually met with; so that if it lacks apparent continuity, we trust the diversity of subjects it treats will meet every necessity. The defects of Trousers are fully dealt with in Part III of the "Cutter's Practical Guide," and these together will, we trust, throw some light on every puzzling defect the cutter usually meets with.

Tank Craft 45 Nashorn Self-Propelled Tank Destroyer
The Panzerj瓣ger Nashorn, a self-propelled anti-tank vehicle with an 8.8cm gun, was highly effective in WWII's Eastern Front.Combining the destructive firepower of the famous 8.8cm gun with the mobility of the Pzkpfw IV medium tank, the Panzerj瓣ger Nashorn, or rhinoceros, was quite possibly one of the most effective tank destroyers of the Second World War, although less than 500 were built. Issued to specially created heavy anti-tank battalions the Nashorn went into action for the first time during Operation Citadel, the battles around Kursk on the Eastern Front, in mid-1943 where it was immediately hailed as a success. Initial doubts about the vehicle's lack of thick armour, or even a roof for the superstructure, were forgotten when it was found that the 8.8cm gun, backed by superior gun sights and range-findering optics, could destroy the heaviest Soviet tanks while the Nashorn remained out of range. Examples also found their way to Italy and the Western Front but it was really on the open fields of eastern Europe that the Nashorn excelled. In his latest book in the TankCraft series, Dennis Oliver uses contemporary photographs and meticulously researched, superbly presented colour and monochrome illustrations to tell the story of these self-propelled anti-tank weapons and the units which operated them in the German defence of the Eastern Front. As with all the books in the TankCraft series, a large part of this work showcases available model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of expertly constructed and painted models. Technical details as well as modifications introduced during production and in the field are also explained giving the modeller all the information and knowledge required.

Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in London
The beloved quilting expert Kaffe Fassett has chosen London's bustling, colorful, and funky Camden Lock as the inspiration for his gorgeous new collection of 21 quilts. The funky atmosphere and Pop Art murals of Camden Lock Market brilliantly reflect the quirkiness of Kaffe's unique combinations of fabric print and color in his quilts. In addition to beautiful and inspiring photographs, the book contains clear quilt making instructions and full-color diagrams plus a know-how section of basic patchwork and quilt-making information. The master colorist and bestselling fabric designer shows how a selection of seven popular patchwork blocks can be transformed using different choices of color palette. A main quilt in each group of blocks is reworked in two very different color themes using both the most recent and classic fabric designs. The deep jewel tones of Kaffe's Bright Bordered Diamonds and Cool Bordered Diamonds quilts are enhanced by the bold street art found around the neighborhood. Kaffe's Rich Dark Medallion quilt juxtaposes bright pops of floral against geometric dark shapes, brilliantly set against the backdrop of shiny tiles and a watchful tiger. The stunning Hot Economy quilt feels perfectly at home draped over rustic pallets overlooking a corner of the marketpace, while his geometric Stripes and Triangles cushions beckon the reader to get cozy on a bench and do some people watching on a sunny afternoon in London. Kaffe Fassett has dedicated the last 50 years of his life to the world of knitting, needlepoint and patchwork, promoting these crafts through his own work and encouraging others to find their own creativity. In addition to creating a number of popular books, he also tours internationally, giving workshops and lectures.
