About the book
In this authorative and wide-ranging volume, published to coincide with the 300th anniversary of Thomas Chippendale's birth, Jack Metcalfe provides fascinating insights into all aspects of 18th century marquetry, gained from close first-hand examination of Chippendale's orginal pieces. Using his 'insider's' knowledge and skills as a practitioner, he details his discoveries about how veneers were cut and dyed, how marquetry panels were constructed and applied to furniture, what challenges marqueteurs faced and the resourceful ways they found of overcoming them.
With its lively, engaging narrative, and packed full of over 700 colour images, this book is essential reading for marqueteurs, cabinet makers, dyers, furniture historians and anyone interested in the work of arguably Britain's finest furniture maker, Thomas Chippendale.
There are seperate chapters covering:
Materials, and tools used in Chippendale's time
Techniques of 18th century marquetry
Dyes and dyeing techniques, including the scientific analysis of dyes used on Chippendale's furniture
Detailed step-by-step descriptions of the construction of three replica pieces by the author
A detailed illustrated gallery of all the known marquetry commissions made by Thomas Chippendale.
About the Author
With over 20 years experience as a marqueteur, Jack Metcalfe has devoted himself to uncovering and mastering the techniques as practised by Chippendale's skilled artisans in the eighteenth century. Using equipment, materials, dyes and techniques as close to the original as possible, Jack has built replicas of several of Chippendale's most striking pieces of furniture, including the famous Diana & Minerva Commode. His careful research into the use of dyes, including ground-breaking scientific analysis of the dyes used on Chippendale's marquetry, has enabled him to reveal the often startlingly fresh colours that Chippendale furniture would have displayed when first made.
Jack frequently gives lectures on Thoams Chippendale's life and work, and especially his marquetry furniture. Jack's first book The Marquetry Course is available from selected internet booksellers.

Описание: 'A writer of subtle, finely crafted supernatural tales.' - T.E.D. Klein ' H]is stories . . . build up a unique sense of unease.' - Brian Stableford ' T]ense, cryptic . . . brooding supernaturalism . . . unjustly forgotten.' - E. F. Bleiler Something is wrong with Colonel Habgood's young son Denis. Some mysterious force seems to be sapping his physical health, and his behaviour has become oddly evasive and deceptive. Habgood suspects the pernicious influence of Raoul, a sinister handyman with whom Denis has become infatuated, believing that the man may be corrupting and defiling his son. But even after Raoul's departure, the troubles continue, and Denis's strength continues to wane. In an old book of medieval legends, his father finds a possible, if implausible, answer in stories of a nameless horror from beyond the grave that feasts on the young in order to return to life. Or could what's happening to Denis have any connection to an unexplained death in the attic turret nearly eighty years ago? And isn't there something strange about the scarecrow out in the fields, which seems, barely perceptibly, to have moved . . . ? Originally published in a limited hardcover edition by the legendary Arkham House, John Metcalfe's The Feasting Dead (1954) is worthy of being ranked alongside The Turn of the Screw and the tales of M.R. James, L.P. Hartley, and Robert Aickman. This new edition of this classic novella, previously available only in expensive secondhand copies, will allow modern readers to rediscover the unjustly neglected Metcalfe (1891-1965).

Описание:
Logic deals with the fundamental notions of truth and falsity. Modal logic arose from the philosophical study of "modes of truth" with the two most common modes being "necessarily true" and "possibly true." Research in modal logic now spans philosophy, computer science, and mathematics, using techniques from relational structures, universal algebra, topology, and proof theory.
These proceedings record the papers presented at the 2018 conference on Advances in Modal Logic, a biennial conference series with the aim of reporting important new developments in pure and applied modal logic. The topics include decidability and complexity results, proof theory, model theory, interpolation, as well as other related problems in algebraic logic.
