Creative Ropecraft is a treasure trove of knots, hitches, bends, plaits and netting. Anyone tempted to try their hand at ropecraft will be able to follow in the footsteps of the traditional seamen who have gone before thanks to Stuart Grainger's clear instructions and very detailed drawings. In Creative Ropecraft, Stuart Grainger describes how to tie and use a wide variety of knots, both practical and fancy. Here you'll find crown and wall knots, turk's head knots, door knockers, hammocks, mats, netting, belts, cuff links, table lamps, rope-edged trays, and many more. Once picked up, it is hard to put this wonderful book down.

We are living, it is often said, in a golden age of stupidity, in which boneheaded, mendacious politicians get elected by voters who've become too mindless to realise their interests are ill-served by narcissists, while vapid social media influencers corrupt their no-less witless followers with groundless conspiracy theories and eye- wateringly foolish takedowns of scientific expertise. Our time, one might be forgiven for thinking, is one in which the fool's gold of stupidity has become a desirable commodity, a must-have, with bumbling celebrities venerated more than those who have more than two brain cells to rub together. In this book, Stuart Jeffries analyses how we got into this parlous state and wonders if Schopenhauer was right in contending the stupid, like the poor, are always with us, or if rather, stupidity is like Japanese knotweed, difficult to root out but should be exterminated with extreme prejudice. He considers what some of the greatest of human minds - Socrates, Buddha, Voltaire, Arendt and among others - have to tell us about the slippery nature of stupidity. During a narrative that takes us from ancient Greece to artificial intelligence, and accompanied by such heroes of stupidity as Flaubert's double act Bouvard and Pécuchet, Jeffries casts a sceptical eye on attempts to root out stupidity by such means as IQ tests, eugenics, gene editing and racist education policies, finding each attempt to be more stupid than the stupidity they were ostensibly devised to eradicate. If today we are living in a fool’s paradise, has our species become too dim to learn anything from its rich history of folly?
This book provides a comprehensive theory of age discrimination that can guide the direct and indirect age discrimination provisions of the Equality Act 2010. The Act holds that unequal treatment on the grounds of age and measures that are on their face age-neutral but have the effect of disadvantaging particular age groups are lawful only if the treatment can be shown either to be a ‘proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim’ or if the treatment fits into a specifically prescribed exception. In this way, the proportionality test distinguishes justified and unjustified age-differential treatment with only the former legally permissible.This book outlines and defends a pluralist theory of age discrimination that assists in making the distinction between justified and unjustified age-differential treatment. The theory identifies the principles that explain when and why age-differential treatment wrongs people and the principles that can justify this treatment. It is a pluralist theory because it recognises that age-differential treatment can wrong people for a number of different, overlapping reasons, and these different reasons should inform how we apply age discrimination law. The pluralist approach to age discrimination theory can improve legal reasoning in age discrimination cases by articulating the relevant principles and competing interests that are at stake in age discrimination claims.In constructing the theory, the book adopts the reflective equilibrium method. This requires that we examine our initial moral beliefs about age discrimination by seeking coherence with beliefs we have about similar moral and philosophical issues and revising the initial beliefs as a result of challenges to them. In applying this method, the book identifies the following five principles to form a pluralist theory of age discrimination: equality of opportunity, social equality, respect, autonomy and efficiency.
