{"product_id":"needlework-through-history-catherine-amoroso-leslie-9780313335488","title":"Needlework Through History: An Encyclopedia","description":"Needlework serves functional purposes, such as providing warmth, but has also communicated individual and social identity, spiritual beliefs, and aesthetic ideals throughout time and geography. Needlework traditions are often associated with rituals and celebrations of life events. Often-overlooked by historians, practicing needlework and creating needlework objects provides insights to the history of everyday life. Needlework techniques traveled with merchants and explorers, creating a legacy of cross-cultural exchange. Some techniques are virtually universal and others are limited to a small geographical area. Settlers brought traditions which were sometimes re-invented as indigenous arts. This volume of approximately 75 entries is a comprehensive resource on techniques and cultural traditions for students, information professionals, and collectors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Amoroso Leslie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313335486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313335488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.51h x 9.37w x 0.96d","brand":"Catherine Amoroso Leslie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946442096895,"sku":"9780313335488","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_037390fe-3435-437c-ad64-8674273914cc.jpg?v=1681513172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/needlework-through-history-catherine-amoroso-leslie-9780313335488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
