Watch Repairer'S Manual

by Henry B. Fried

~~13,59€~~ 10,87€ 20% OFF

 As The New York Times wrote after his death, Henry B. Fried was "widely acknowledged as the dean of American watchmakers." In the revised, 1961 edition of his classic book The Watch Repairer''s Manual, reprinted here, Fried addresses topics important to contemporary watch repairers, such as self-winding watches, waterproofing, calendar watches, alarm wristwatches, and chronographs. The Watch Repairer''s Manual also includes a fine visual dictionary of exploded views in isometric, which are very helpful for ordering watch parts.One of the few modern books available on the techniques of watch repair and certainly the most esteemed, The Watch Repairer''s Manual is outstanding for its sequence of presentation and its many useful illustrations, including enlarged details of alarm and self-winding watches. The consummate craftsman and master of details, Fried himself created the illustrations. From teaching others, Fried has learned that if you have a good understanding of how and why the mechanisms work, you will become better at fixing any problems you face-often without needing to consult a book.The Watch Repairer''s Manual provides:- Helpful background material, such as full descriptions of the main divisions of the modern watch mechanisms, including the purpose and function of each unit.- Complete directions for cleaning and overhauling a watch movement for casing.- A section devoted to general repairs and troubleshooting.For anyone interested in watch repair, this volume will serve as a working manual, a reference manual, and even a course of study. Assuming little previous knowledge on the part of the reader, Fried provides complete and clear detail on each operation. The Watch Repairer''s Manual should be of great value to the student, hobbyist, watch collector, and instrument maker. Henry B. Fried wrote and illustrated 14 books, many pamphlets, and hundreds of articles on horology, the science of timepieces. The first American to receive the Silver Medal of the British Horological Institute, he served as president of the New York City Horological Society and the New York State Watchmakers Association and vice president of the old Horological Institute of America. He taught and lectured on horology and served as an industry consultant. He also was a consultant for the Random House Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

Interpretation Of Dreams

by Sigmund Freud

~~1,31€~~ 1,05€ 20% OFF

 Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, published The Interpretation of Dreams in 1899. In this book, he explains his theory of the unconscious with regard to dream interpretation and explores what would later become the notion of the Oedipus complex. According to Freud, there are two mental processes that lead to the formation of dreams. In the first process, unconscious forces create a wish that is expressed in the dream, and in the second, censorship distorts the wish's expression forcibly. All dreams, in Freud's opinion, are manifestations of "wish fulfilment". According to him, dreams are like picture puzzles that, although they may initially seem absurd and pointless, can be decoded to reveal a "poetical sentence of the greatest beauty and meaning."

Things No One Taught Us About Love - The Sunday Times Bestseller. How To Build Healthy Relationships With Yourself And Others

by Vex King

6,99€ + 10% CARD

 The Sunday Times Bestseller Things No One Taught Us About Love distils the ideas found in Vex King''s Closer to Love, re-edited and presented in the warm, relatable style of his No. 1 bestseller Good Vibes, Good Life. This extraordinary book is for anyone looking to harness the power of the universe, and their own self-understanding, to manifest stronger, deeper relationships. Bestselling author of Good Vibes, Good Life, Vex King is back with a life-changing guide to strengthening your relationships by learning to love yourself, and understanding the true nature of love. Many of us expect romantic love to solve our problems and validate our worth. This burden strains modern relationships. Partners become frustrated when unable to meet each other’s idealized and impossible demands. Broken dreams of a life-long romance can leave people feeling incomplete and hopping from one partner to another. It’s no wonder we struggle, given that society fails to teach us about the true nature of love. We’ve been misled into thinking love is external - somewhere out there - rather than a force within us. Vex King dismantles the myths and misconceptions surrounding love and relationships. Packed with personal stories, expert advice and inspirational messages, Things No-one Taught Us About Love will help you understand how you love, create healthy habits, set boundaries that work for you, and heal unprocessed emotion and trauma. ''A long-term relationship will die and be reborn a thousand times. It doesn’t matter how long you are with someone, but how willing you are to stay open to the new versions of them (and yourself) that are certain to arise.'' - Vex King ''A must read if you are seeking to elevate your relationships and your life.'' - Yung Pueblo, New York Times, author of Clarity & Connection and Lighter
