Textile design. Materiali e tecnologie
br. I fattori strategici che decretano il successo di un prodotto di design sono sicuramente, oltre all'elevato contenuto creativo, la ricerca e il valore aggiunto dato dalla padronanza dei materiali e delle tecnologie produttive. Il tessuto è un manufatto prodotto con tecnologie tessili a partire da filati, costituiti a loro volta da fibre di diversa natura e forma che possono essere naturali o prodotte dall'uomo. I processi tecnologici che portano dalla fibra all'abito indossato sono così complessi e numerosi da richiedere fino a due anni di lavorazioni diverse che comprendono sia processi industriali che figurazioni astratte. Il libro analizza i caratteri essenziali della filiera tessile per fornire agli operatori del settore conoscenze specifiche dei materiali e delle tecnologie produttive legate al mondo della moda. Il contenuto del volume è suddiviso in tre parti, nelle quali ciascun autore approfondisce gli aspetti peculiari delle proprietà e dell'utilizzo delle fibre naturali e sintetiche, delle tecnologie tessili e delle proprietà tecniche e sensoriali dei tessuti per mettere in evidenza lo stretto connubio esistente tra moda, design e tecnologia.

Thirteen Moons: A Novel
New York : Random House c2006. 2006. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 1st trade edition 1st printing ; 422 pages ; 25 cm ; SIGNED presentation by author on title page to Decatur Book Festival volunteer David Neville 1951-2020 ; ISBN 9780375509322 9781400066391 9780812967586 0375509321 1400066395 0812967585 ; OCLC 74270968 ; LCCN 2006284735 ; sea-green and light tan cloth in pictorial dustjacket ; Charles Frazier's Thirteen Moons is the story of one man's remarkable life spanning a century of relentless change. At the age of twelve an orphan named Will Cooper is given a horse a key and a map and is sent on a journey through the wilderness to the edge of the Cherokee Nation the uncharted white space on the map. Will is a bound boy obliged to run a remote Indian trading post. As he fulfills his lonesome duty Will finds a father in Bear a Cherokee chief and is adopted by him and his people developing relationships that ultimately forge Will's character. All the while his love of Claire the enigmatic and captivating charge of volatile and powerful Featherstone will forever rule Will's heart. In a distinct voice filled with both humor and yearning Will tells of a lifelong search for home the hunger for fortune and adventure the rebuilding of a trampled culture and above all an enduring pursuit of passion. As he comes to realize "When all else is lost and gone forever there is yearning. One of the few welcome lessons age teaches is that only desire trumps time." Will Cooper in the hands of Charles Frazier becomes a classic American soul: a man devoted to a place and its people a woman and a way of life all of which are forever just beyond his reach. Thirteen Moons takes us from the uncharted wilderness of an unspoiled continent across the South up and down the Mississippi and to the urban clamor of a raw Washington City. Throughout Will is swept along as the wild beauty of the nineteenth century gives way to the telephones automobiles and encroaching railways of the twentieth. Steeped in history rich in insight and filled with moments of sudden beauty Thirteen Moons is an unforgettable work of fiction ; "Thirteen Moons brings this vanished world thrillingly to life.One of the great Native American and American stories and a great gift to all of us from one of our very best writers." --Kirkus Reviews ; Charles Frazier was born in 1950 and grew up in western North Carolina. Frazier received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of North Carolina and his doctorate in American literature from the University of South Carolina. He taught at the University of Colorado and North Carolina State University before writing his first novel Cold Mountain. He based the bestselling book on true stories written by his great-great-grandfather in journals during the Civil War period. Cold Mountain won the National Book Award. His other novels are Thirteen Moons and Nightwoods. He made the bestseller list in 2018 with his title Varina. ; Note this is NOT the limited edition ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Random House, c2006. hardcover
