The classic book on the art and history of weaving--now expanded and in full color
Written by one of the twentieth century's leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand. With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work. Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book's original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T'ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great watch for healthcare workers
This is a great watch that I use for my nursing clinical rotations at hospitals. It has been washed and disinfected many times and it still looks new. I can read the time without my glasses I wear for astigmatism. The light is good for nighttime or darkened rooms. I think the alarm and hourly chime are harsh sounding, but they serve their purpose if needed (The beep of a Casio digital watch is preferred, for a frame of reference).

used solely as start watch for yacht racing: interface is good (lacks sync feature). Great value
on foredeck of a sailboat, lines and sails love to snag on stuff, especially wrist watches. Have had three torn from my wrist in 18 months. Two went overboard. I even tried to purchase super-strong spring-bars (pins that secure the band), but it was torn off again.
PRO:
great (intuitive, quick) interface for setting the countdown starting time, and option to repeat or count up.
easy to read display
CON:
No sync feature: in countdown timer mode, would allow adjusting the running countdown to the nearest minute.
Delay in switching modes: had left it in time-of-day mode and heard a starting signal, immediately switched to Timer mode and pressed start button, but it did not start the timer. On switching modes, it takes nearly a second for Timer mode to be operational, so need to wait until display comes on before trying to use it.
Time-of-day is not visible in Timer Mode, if it was, previous issue would rarely occur.
No Power down feature: my previous watch had an option to shut off the LCD display (and any audible alarms). Since I only use the watch about 100 hours (1%) of the year, this greatly extended the battery life.
All that said, the dedicated sailing watches all cost two to ten times as much with the lower cost options having poor reviews on quality. For now, I'll buy these (Timex Ironman Essential 30) and just expect to loose one on average once a year.

Great watch - Nice large display!!
After my old Timex Ironman finally died after 21 years of reliable service (may it rest in peace after 4 replacement bands and 5 replacement batteries!!), I decided Timex deserved another sale from me!
So I went surfing on the Timex website. So many Timex Ironman watches to choose from! But this one stood out for two reasons. 1) It has a nice simple design without a lot of "noise". 2) A nice large readable display. So I took the plunge!
Indeed, Timex has definitely improved on their Ironman watches in the last 21 years. Most notably, the Indiglo light has greatly improved. It used to just light up the background. Now, it brightly lights up the actual digits which makes it undeniably readable without any eye strain. Another great improvement are in the set features. While the older models could only be set forward (in other words, if you went past your set point, you would need to go all the way around), this model lets you set forward and backward (so if you go too far, you can step back without going around).
I don't understand one of the reviewers saying that the watch is too small. The face is quite large. The band may seem narrow in proportion to the watch face, but not excessively so. The band is 19mm wide and fits me just fine.
Highly recommended!!

Like it so far after 2 weeks of swimming.
Like it so far after 2 weeks of swimming. Have been careful nio to press buttons underwater. I Like the large numerals, backlight, countdown timer, stopwatch and alarm.
My last Timex 1440 lasted 10 years before the battery was low enough that the backlight was too weak to see at night. I replaced the battery on it but did not seal the o ring well enough with silicon grease so it leaked and quit working. I also had also replaced the band once.
