An impeccably researched and beautifully produced concise history of bags through the ages, with examples drawn from the Victoria and Albert Museum's remarkable collection. From the hand-stitched embroidered purses of the 16th century, to the 'make-do-and-mend' bags of the war years and the rise of the 'It' bag in the 2000s, bags reflect the needs and desires of their users, as well as the changing attitudes to fashion. Focusing on the V&A's world-famous collection, Bags tells the story of the bag from the earliest leather pouches through to today's covetable, luxury pieces.

Anyone who has ever found the configuration of the Bible to be confusing will enjoy The Seven Days: Making Sense of the Bible's Structure.Claire Wilcox asks, "e;If all Scripture is God-breathed, then wouldn't the Bible's structure also be divinely inspired?"e;For both veteran and new readers of the Bible, this book provides a thought-provoking look at the creation that reveals God's plan for salvation woven throughout the structure of the Bible. Its canonical sequence of sixty-six books finally makes sense.Rather than a stand-alone narrative, the first creation story of Genesis can be read as the thematic key to the God-breathed structural organization of the Bible. By correlating sense and structure to the entire biblical canon for each of the seven days of creation, the author breaks new ground.Discover great and hidden things that go far beyond anything you've ever known by using structural analysis to understand the Bible.
