Ancient arts and techniques. A guide to rediscovering them

People used to be more autonomous because they did more practical things to improve their lives on their own, they could sew on their own buttons, or put a patch on their punctured bicycle tire, or use different knots to connect, secure or hang something. They had a great time doing simple things like throwing the flat rocks into the water so that they bounce as many times as possible, or making shuttlecocks out of simple scraps and "throwing" them, etc. This book is a treasure trove of easy-to-follow instructions for dozens of simple things we've forgotten to do in the electronic age we live in.
