Tim Richardson

    1 gennaio 1968

    La fascina­zione di Gillian Richardson per il mondo naturale alimenta la sua scrittura, invitando i lettori a esplorare le intricate connessioni tra la curiosità umana e le meraviglie della natura. Il suo lavoro approfondisce temi ispirati dai suoi estesi viaggi e dalle sue acute osservazioni, dalla potenza esplosiva dei geyser ai delicati meccanismi della dispersione dei semi. Attraverso una narrazione vivida e uno stile che bilancia la curiosità scientifica con la prosa lirica, promuove un apprezzamento più profondo per l'ambiente. Le narrazioni di Richardson testimoniano il potere dell'osservazione e la gioia della condivisione delle scoperte.

    • This combined reprint of Volumes 1 and 2 of the 1892 edition of Practical Carriage Building is perhaps the most complete and accurate contemporary work on the subject. It covers in great depth, and with many illustrations, the materials and tools used, the making and repairing of wheels, the making of carriage parts and their assembly, framing and construction, axles, yokes, whiffletrees, patterns and layouts, and many other useful and fascinating subjects. All sorts of carriages are discussed: buggies, cabriolets and broughams, phatons, rockaways, as well as sleighs and sleds, and express, delivery, and farm wagons. A definitive, easy to follow reference on this early trade that is now enjoying a well-deserved renaissance.
