Stringlopedia gathers together every strand on string (and it's 'big brother' rope) to weave a fascinating overview of this mulit-faceted yet often under-valued material. Among the mass of strands you will find the world's biggest ball of twine, a stringy history and the origin of the phrase 'to cut the Gordian knot'. |
| Synopsis: |
Stringlopedia gathers together every strand on string (and it's 'big brother' rope) to weave a fascinating overview of this mulit-faceted yet often under-valued material. Among the mass of strands you will find the world's biggest ball of twine, a stringy history and the origin of the phrase 'to cut the Gordian knot'. On a more practical note, learn how to do magic tricks, weigh a pig or string-roast a pigeon. Instructions to tie your laces in seven different ways, create an impressive string figure or bind up your enemy will help you to swing into action and immerse yourself in string. So string along with Adam Hart-Davis as he teaches you the ropes and untangles your stringphobia. |
