348,95 kr. Travel to Sweden, home to at least 19 different breeds of sheep and a centuries old spinning and knitting tradition. Meet the international famous and newly minted knitwear designers who live there and enjoy their sensational knitting patterns. Sara Wolf has reproduced knitting designs from Sweden's museums and translated them into knits using commercially available yarns. Josefin Waltin has spun the different breeds to show how hand spun yarns can be used to bring out the amazing characteristics of Swedish wool. Some of these sheep live north of the Arctic Circle. Others are primitive breeds descended from the earliest domesticated breeds. Join Sara and Josefin as they describe how to incorporate wool from sheep with locks a foot or longer into useable yarn, and discuss how to achieve next-to-skin softness from others by choosing an appropriate spinning method. Learn about the rise in interest in heritage and endangered species of sheep whose wool is now valued, where it was recently burned or composted for lack of a market. Find unusual, boutique yarns in cities, on farms, and at spinning mills across the country. Richly illustrated, with easy-to-follow written knitting instructions, there is something for everyone in this book, from the hardcore fiberista to the armchair traveler.

- The Ethnic and National Genesis of the Israelites
208,95 kr. Whereas the prevailing argument among academic scholars today is that the Israelites descended mainly from Canaanite tribes and maybe even Egyptians, Israel's African Ancestry: The Ethnic and National Genesis of the Israelites takes this claim to further heights. Combining archaeological, ethnological, biblical, historical, and epigraphic data, a well-rounded, comprehensive investigation is presented into the formation of Israelite identity. This book is based on a plethora of primary and secondary source materials, synthesized with existing research on the historiography of the so-called Near East. Tracing the origins of the Israelites back to a group of Neolithic Kushites called the Anu peoples, the evolution of Israelite identity is mapped from the earliest primordial recollections of Judean scribes, which go back to the Late Neolithic Period [5th millennium BC], to the earliest historical reference to the Israelites on the Merneptah Stele, dating to the Early Iron Age [c. 1200-1000 BC]. The process of Israelite identity formation is categorized and described in three phases: the Anu identity phase, the Canaanite identity phase, and the Israelite identity phase. Groundbreaking information is presented throughout this book, challenging the predominate scholarly view that the events in the biblical account that took place before the Assyrian exile are mainly ahistorical or not related to history. Much of the biblical account, from Genesis to 1 Kings, is put into historical context, authenticating several characters of the Hebrew Canon as being, at the least, renditions of genuine historical personages.
