The Knot Bible: The complete guide to knots and their uses/Библия узлов: полное руководство по узлам и их использованию

Издание на английском языке
What is it about knots? How can such an apparently simple occupation as twisting bits of string into preconceived patterns be so endlessly satisfying and have such wide-ranging appeal? Knots have intrigued writers and artists since ancient times, and even Leonardo da Vinci was not adverse to doodling the occasional turk’s head when the fancy took him. So, if you like to tie knots, you’re in good company! The knots in this book range from the practical to the decorative, the curious and the downright brilliant.
