Abstract: This book explores in detail the meaning behind tattoos, through a journey into the past and the symbolism of this ancient art. Tattoos, perhaps one of the oldest forms of communication and body art, have had and still have different meanings. From healing powers to the identification of criminals, through different myths and beliefs, or simply as a form of recognition and affirmation of belonging to a group, tattoos remain one of the most characteristic means of expression associated with sailors, soldiers, organized crime, gangs and urban tribes, but also a form of body adornment and expression of a lifestyle, a philosophy or a belief that unites multitudes of people. Through a clear and intelligent exposition, this volume reveals the meaning of tattoos, a form of expression that has survived the passage of time unscathed and which even today explains a lot about the person who chooses it. After all, a tattoo is more than just a drawing on the skin, it's a statement of intent. From designs dating back to the dawn of civilization to contemporary designs, each tattoo hides a story that this book is eager to reveal.

Leicester, Silverdale Books 2002, cm.23,5x31,5, pp.174, ill. col. harcover, dustjacket. After the first tractors appeared on the scene in the late 1890s, it took another two decades and plenty of modifications for farmers to embrace this once-crude technology in favor of the steam engine, further advancing the power-farming revolution. Written by an international expert in agricultural machinery, Farm Tractors takes readers back to the nineteenth century to look at the precursors to modern tractors and travels through the years to follow the machine's evolution as tractors became indispensable equipment on farms across America. Inside:-How steam-powered machinery gave way to tractors, and how tractors changed the way that farmers worked.
