This is a charming homage to the art of handmade paper-making. Authored by John Mason, an English paper-maker, printer, and proprietor of his "Twelve by Eight" paper mill based in Leicester, England. At the time of this book's publication, Mason notes in his Preface that only two small paper mills remain in England. This book describes Mason's own paper-making craft and an overview of the general paper-making process including collection of plant materials (such as gladiolus and iris leaves); preparation for beating, beating the plant materials to a pulp; moulding the paper; use of the vat and pressing equipment; forming the sheets and couching; separating, wet-pressing, and drying; sizing; and use of decorative and straining devices. Mason also describes paper-making practices in other countries. Graham, Rigby (illustrator).…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Oversized paperback, xix + 234 pages, NOT ex-library. gentle handling wear only, book is clean and bright, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Straight uncreased spine. -- This transformative guide revolutionizes mathematics education by harnessing the untapped power of mental imagery, turning abstract concepts into vivid, personal experiences for secondary students. Christof Weber introduces the "Mathematical Imagining" routine, a pedagogical innovation cultivated over 25 years of teaching and doctoral research. By inviting students to envision and manipulate mathematical scenarios - such as a rolling plastic cup's trajectory - Weber empowers learners to construct, debate, and refine their inner visualizations, fostering deeper comprehension and creativity. The book meticulously balances theory and practice. Part 1 delineates the routine's philosophical underpinnings, facilitation strategies, and criteria for crafting bespoke exercises. Part 2 offers 37 categorized tasks (constructions, problem-solving, reasoning, paradoxes) spanning school mathematics, complete with pedagogical commentary, anticipated student responses, and extension questions. Weber's approach illuminates students' thought processes, democratizes mathematical engagement (especially for "lower-achieving" students), and redefines the teacher's role from instructor to curator of imaginative insights. By internalizing mathematics as a mental adventure, learners transcend mere procedural fluency, developing articulate expression of their imaginal worlds. This handbook isn't merely instructional; it's a manifesto for reimagining math education, urging educators to unlock the imaginative potential dormant in every student. -- Contents: Foreword; Preface to the English Edition; An Invitation into My Classroom; Introduction; Part 1 The Mathematical Imagining Routine: Background and Guidelines 1 What Is the Mathematical Imagining Routine? 2 Implementing the Mathematical Imagining Routine 3 Developing Your Own Exercises in Mathematical Imagining; Part 2 Exercises in Mathematical Imagining: A Collection of Example Tasks 4 About Using the Example Tasks 5 Construction Exercises in Mathematical Imagining 6 Problem-Solving Exercises in Mathematical Imagining 7 Reasoning Exercises in Mathematical Imagining 8 Paradox Exercises in Mathematical Imagining; References; Index.…
