The Ashley Book of Knots It is a useful collection of knot-tying instructions from functional to decorative, but the author is also a fascinating, well-traveled individual. It has an interesting view of history and culture, gathered entirely by following the art of knot-tying. For example, the art fell out of fashion with the spread of literacy as sailors' hands were occupied with books, then came back into fashion with the invention of the radio and their hands were now free. It makes history feel more tangible when it's linked with something you can physically do today.
