The imagineering that went into this was a bit off. The rail for hanging pictures is correct. The wires for hanging should go to nails in the rail. Instead, the frames are bolted to the wall with faux hanging fixtures to the wall below the rail.

1977 book in new condition.

The slide rule in the back is actually worth as much as the book and slide rule together.

This book deals with Papermaking as an industrial science and details from tree to trade.

Hand making paper is a great introduction, but eventually you need to work with suppliers that sell by the rolls and will need to speak their language to acquire the materials for your project.

Book I am reading. Where Hunter’s Pspermaking (1945) is a must read treatise on paper as an industry, Kurlansky takes the approach of paper as a technology, indulging in the meaning of technology and the role of innovation.

As a book designer I continually study the materials of my trade.

When my son was in High School they discussed the Bubonic Plague.

I made this character for him to personify the bacilli while explaining the pathology, virulence, infectivity, and contagion of LE … reason 21,548 why you never ask a CBRN military historian for homework assistance.

In the card game Nuclear War, a sort of poker game using populations as chips, one of the Secret Cards says as a result of a blunder in your enemy’s germ warfare program they lose 25 million of their own people.

ChatGPT has a modicum of imaging editing capabilities. Don’t use it to create your finals. Use it to play with media and ideate. Here a photo of a Lance missile is there deter as a cartoon with a cartoon soldier added.

This is perfect for staging a frame in a storyboard.
