Each body is individual and unique. There are no extraordinary body shapes in bespoke tailoring. There is also no 'norm' that should be particularly emphasized since every customer brings challenges.In this book, the proven step-by-step instructions ensure that even less experienced pattern designers can work out the ideal fit for men with trained muscles or a pronounced belly to make jackets, pants, etc. - based on individual body measurements.Master tailor Sven Jungclaus has refined his know-how over the years in a practical way and is now passing on this knowledge in a way that is easy to understand.

Her classmate at the academy, Laurent Tanet, may be the only one capable of helping Micheline move on from the past and begin creating a future for herself.

A RECOMMENDED READ FROM: The Washington Post • Atlanta Journal-Constitution • CrimeReads • Library JournalA gripping, radically intimate debut novel about a group of enslaved women staging a covert rebellion against their ownersOn a struggling Texas plantation, six enslaved women slip from their sleeping quarters and gather in the woods under the cover of night.

They have hired a “stockman” to impregnate them. But the women are determined to protect themselves.Now each of the six faces a choice. Nan, the doctoring woman, has brought a sack of cotton root clippings that can stave off children when chewed daily. If they all take part, the Lucys may give up and send the stockman away.

And should their plan be discovered, the consequences will be severe.Visceral and arresting, Night Wherever We Go illuminates each woman’s individual trials and desires while painting a subversive portrait of collective defiance. Unflinching in her portrayal of America’s gravest injustices, while also deeply attentive to the transcendence, love, and solidarity of women whose interior lives have been underexplored, Tracey Rose Peyton creates a story of unforgettable power.

Since before recorded history, people have congregated near water. But as growing populations around the globe continue to flow toward the coasts on an unprecedented scale and climate change raises water levels, our relationship to the sea has begun to take on new and potentially catastrophic dimensions. The latest generation of coastal dwellers lives largely in ignorance of the history of those who came before them, the natural environment, and the need to live sustainably on the world’s shores. Humanity has forgotten how to live with the oceans.In The Human Shore, a magisterial account of 100,000 years of seaside civilization, John R. Gillis recovers the coastal experience from its origins among the people who dwelled along the African shore to the bustle and glitz of today’s megacities and beach resorts. He takes readers from discussion of the possible coastal location of the Garden of Eden to the ancient communities that have existed along beaches, bays, and bayous since the beginning of human society to the crucial role played by coasts during the age of discovery and empire. An account of the mass movement of whole populations to the coasts in the last half-century brings the story of coastal life into the present.Along the way, Gillis addresses humankind’s changing relationship to the sea from an environmental perspective, laying out the history of the making and remaking of coastal landscapes—the creation of ports, the draining of wetlands, the introduction and extinction of marine animals, and the invention of the beach—while giving us a global understanding of our relationship to the water. Learned and deeply personal,The Human Shore is more than a history: it is the story of a space that has been central to the attitudes, plans, and existence of those who live and dream at land’s end.

What does it mean to choose to move to a new country, versus migration by necessity? What does it look like to lack options as a migrant traveling through Mexico? In the thick of the Trump candidacy in 2016, and through the travel bans his administration issued in 2017, Fulbright fellow Kelsey Freeman was determined to find out. Moving to a small, industrial town in central Mexico, located right along a migration pathway, Freeman spent nine months interviewing countless migrants as they confronted tremendous obstacles to a better life. No Option But Northinterweaves these stories with anecdotes from Freeman’s experiences in Mexico to expose the fundamental moral quandaries involved in migration–from the expanding gang violence to the dearth of legal options for working-class Central Americans and Mexicans. In the process, the book takes us on a harrowing journey that strikes at the heart of the human ability to endure.A timely chronicle of contemporary migration from Central America and Mexico that peels back the layers of privilege underlying our migration policies, No Option But North adds powerful color and force to the immigration narrative. Living in Mexico during the early days of Trump administration, Fullbright scholar Kelsey Freeman details the stories of migrants who must flee poverty at home only to become equally vulnerable as they head north.
