В книге описаны сведённые воедино два, пожалуй, самых увлекательных мужских занятия – охота на крупного (а иногда и опасного) зверя и путешествия в труднодоступные районы планеты. Местом действия выступают то тихоокеанское побережье России, то уссурийская тайга, то чукотская тундра, то льды Канадской Арктики. Эта книга показывает не парадную, а внутреннюю сторону организации трофейной охоты, мир, где ваше благополучие, своевременное возвращение, а порой даже жизнь зависят от капризов природы, вовремя переданного прогноза погоды или от степени трезвости экипажа вертолёта.

Before appearing on the BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee, Chinelo Bally had never used a sewing pattern. She wowed the judges with her ability to create stylish, fitted garments using a freehand cutting method that was taught to her by an aunt. In Freehand Fashion, Chinelo lets us in to the secret of how she does it. Using a series of basic garment blocks, Chinelo explains how this innovative technique can be used to create a whole wardrobe of fashionable clothes that will fit every shape and size – with no patterns required. Based on a traditional Nigerian technique, Chinelo has developed her own freehand cutting method. The emphasis is on the individual’s own body measurements, and getting the perfect fit. This is a surprisingly simple technique that anyone can learn. No fancy equipment is needed – just a sewing machine, measuring tape, chalk and of course a good pair of scissors.
