Kives have probably the longest history of any human artefacts and, with forks, are possibly the most used and taken for granted. In this book the hoistory and development of their use as eating implements is traced from the eqarliest times and some hitheto unknown styles used in the Middle Ages are revealed. The art of the cutler and the rise of the cutlers' companies are covered, as are the gradual introduction of the table fork and the evolution of the trio of knife, fork and spoon during the early eighteenth century. The invention of stainless steel leads to the conclusion, with the development of more imaginative styles in the twentieth century and the modern designers of individual cutlery.

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Have you ever heard this saying? Before we get a chance to say a word, our gestures and manners have already spoken for us. Though some of the rules of good manners change, others remain constant. This book is about the constants: the least you need to know to make a good first impression. As Clarence Thomas once said, "Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot." Use this book as a master key to open those doors.

Little appreciated by the average diner, over the past 125 years almost everything connected with flatware/table cutlery has changed: who designs it, how it is designed, who makes it, where it is made, how it is made, what is it made of, how it looks, and in some cases even how it functions. This book traces this evolution in terms of: I - Decorative Style: from art nouveau to pluralism; II - Basic Sizes and Shapes: from large size and more or less standard forms to variable size and non-standard forms; III - Functional Types: from many to few, but some radically new; IV - Designers and Producers: from in-house design and manufacture to consultant designers and outsourced makers; and V - Materials and Methods: from nearly 100% silver or silver-plate to 90% stainless steel with a variety of finishes, and from low-tech to high-tech methodology. These changes are illustrated in over 900 color photographs of 820 flatware patterns/entities of worldwide origin from both private and public collections. This work is the first dealing with a selection of modern flatware of this scope and depth. The main text contains approximately 60,000 words and is extensively referenced. In user-friendly eBook format; Kindle edition with free apps for other devices. The book will appeal to modernist consumers, collectors, scholars, dealers, and museum and design professionals.

Kevin Allen, author of the Wall Street Journal best-selling The Hidden Agenda: A Proven Way to Win Business and Create a Following, is back, with a fabulously entertaining (and true) tale of a newly minted leader made buoyant during The Case of the Missing Cutlery: A Leadership Course for the Rising Star. As a young manager at an airline catering facility, Kevin had to find out why silverware was disappearing at a rapid clip. The route to solving this mystery of The Case of the Missing Cutlery results in Kevin learning to rise to the occasion, to become a leader who inspires followers and is able to rely on their hard work and support. Kevin has called upon this story countless times during his long career in advertising, and has shared it broadly on the BBC’s Radio 4 program, “Four Thought.” [This edition contains content previously published as The Buoyant Leader.]
