I tie knots for about 25% of my job, so it has been an interest to learn different techniques and history. To my suprise when I read this, I found what USA knows as a square knot the rest of the world calls a reef knot. European square knot is a different knot. Same with many more knots. Anyway great read and shows uses for rope I never thought of. Easy to follow and has info for natural/synthetic cordage of all types. Neat. Book is large, contains more photos then text, and includes some but not much history of each knot. This is a good book whether you are trying to keep your shoes tied(square(reef)),making a coveted Diamond hitch, or the feared but utilitarian hangmans noose.
-- Step-by-step instructions for over 200 different knots, bends, hitches, loops, plaits and whippings
-- Clear photographs show in detail each stage of tying every knot
-- Fascinating facts about the history and origins of knots, from the Neolithic age when the reef knot, clove hitch and running noose were used, through to the most up-to-date knots and knotting techniques
-- A clear and indispensable guide to the variety of cords and ropes to use, their breaking strengths, construction and application
-- Each knot is clearly identified by category from angling to boating, caving to climbing, general purpose and outdoor pursuits
-- Over 1,200 colour photographs
