In an age of digital precision, Folded Paper Geometry brings design back to its most fundamental tool--your hands. It explores the beauty, simplicity and ingenuity of geometric structures through the act of folding, revealing how single sheets of paper can be transformed into breathtaking, functional forms.The book delves into the underlying design principles that make folded geometry so powerful from simple two-dimensional polygons to complex three-dimensional polyhedra. Whether you are a designer, maker, educator or curious thinker, you will find practical techniques and inspiring insights to enhance your creative practice.Without the need for any special tools, the author encourages you to step away from the screen, pick up a piece of paper, and embark on a hands-on journey where design, geometry and imagination converge.The step-by-step projects are accompanied by over 400 detailed illustrations and colour photos. The book also contains QR codes or hyperlinks to 10 video tutorials of some of the folding techniques and constructions you can make.

This textbook investigates how cultural practices shape language and, conversely, how language reflects cultural norms and societal structures. It addresses the evolution and functions of language, examines the role of language within diverse communities, and explores historical linguistics. Students learn about the origins of writing and the development of writing technologies from pre-writing systems and symbolic representation to the use of writing for knowledge preservation and cultural expression.

Varifrån kom det jämrande ljudet?Jens kliade sig i huvudet. Han förstod ingenting. Pia, hans tvillingsyster, svepte med blicken över de dammiga golvplankorna. Tornrummet var dunkelt och skuggigt. Det enda ljuset, blekt och svagt, kom från den halvöppna trädörren varifrån de först hört den otäckt klagande rösten.“Där!” skrek hon plötsligt till och pekade några meter bort på golvet. Jens drog häftigt efter andan. Håret reste sig på hans armar och en kall kåre for ilande längs hans rygg. Tornets unkna luft kändes med ens iskall att andas in. Det fanns en stängd och låst lucka i golvet.“Pia!” flämtade han till. “Någon är inlåst därnere! Vi måste göra något!”Jens och Pias äventyr börjar i Kärnan, Helsingborgs medeltida torn –det enda som återstår av stadens en gång stolta slott. Vägledda av levande döda reser de tillbaka till medeltiden för att ställa en stor oförrätt till rätta. Mer än en gång sätter de sina liv på spel i en tid lika mörk som grym.Tillbaka i nutiden tvingas tvillingarna lösa gåtor och följa ledtrådar, gömda i hundratals år, för att återupprätta en död mans ära.SILVERHANDSKES SKATT är en berättelse om mod, om att göra det man kanske inte tror sig våga göra. Men den handlar också om vänskap, trohet och om en första kärlek dömd att gå förlorad i historiens mörker.

This book will teach you how to think and design in the third dimension. Through 60 construction projects, you will learn how folded paper units can be joined to create beautiful 3-D structures, according to the principles of three-dimensional symmetry. In addition to over 80 specially commissioned photographs and 300 step-by-step illustrations, this accessible book contains QR codes or hyperlinks to 30 short videos that show a selection of the projects rotating through 360 degrees.With How to Think and Design in the Third Dimension by their side, anyone who creates in three dimensions, including designers of all specialities, sculptors, architects, engineers and craftspeople, will be able to design with a new, practical and infinitely creative language of form.

Many designers, from jewellers to architects, use folding techniques to make three-dimensional forms from two-dimensional sheets of fabric, cardboard, plastic, metal and other materials.This unique handbook explains key folding techniques, such as pleated surfaces, curved folding and crumpling. It has been updated with a new chapter covering some lesser-known techniques, suggesting yet more creative possibilities. The techniques are accompanied by clear step-by-step drawings, specially commissioned photography and ten new instructional videos.

Pride in prejudice offers a concise introduction to extreme right cultures in Britain today, exploring the origins of this complex movement and the numerous groups and activists that make up Britain’s contemporary extreme right. Showcasing the latest research, Pride in prejudice demonstrates that the movement has a long history in Britain. Jackson evaluates successes and failures in policy responses to the extreme right, and identifies the on-going risks posed by lone-actor terrorism.In order to tackle the extreme right, Jackson argues, we must not only make ourselves aware of the changing ways the movement operates, but we must understand how the extreme right legitimises its perspectives in mainstream discourses that can implicitly and explicitly support its racist and extremist views.

The updated and realigned content meets the revised academic syllabi, and gives extra depth to the use of the models within the structure of Distinction and A* grade assignments and exam responses. We include additional guidance for attainment of extra marks and higher grades in a broad range of qualifications including CIPS, ISM, CILT and CIPD.
