Summary
Look across each spread: it's as if the knots are magically tying themselves as the pictures present each stage of the rope bending, circling, entwining, and tightening. Even complex knots are easy to learn. Each knot includes information on when to use it (for climbing, sailing, general purpose), and there's a comprehensive introduction to all the terminology and techniques, plus dozens of helpful tips from a world-renowned expert. From the Alpine butterfly loop to the Zeppelin bend, the FlowMotion photography means that you'll never miss a trick, turn, or twist.
Author Biography
Geoffrey Budworth is a highly successful author whose previous works, including 12 books on knots, have been published in the USA, the UK, and Europe. His pioneering work with clues -- involving cords, ropes, and knots -- found at crime scenes has led to him being dubbed the "Father of Forensic Knotting." In 1982, he co-founded the International Guild of Knot Tiers, is a former president of the Guild, and is a regular contributor to its quarterly magazine, Knotting Matters
