ISBN: 9781419706769.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn August 7, 1974, Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between the New York World Trade Center’s twin towers, where he performed for nearly an hour. The death-defiying event has been the subect of two major films, the documentary Man on Wire (2008) and The Walk (2015) staring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. During this history-making walk, and many others throughout his celebrated career, knots have always been indispensable components—the guardian angels protecting his life in the sky.\n\nAfter years of hands-on research, Philippe presents Why Knot?, a guide to tying his essential knots. Philippe’s own practical sketches illustrate original methods and clear, clever tying instructions. Photographs in which special knots were used during spectacular high-wire walks, quirky knot trivia, personal anecdotes, helpful tips, magic tricks, and special tying challenges ensure that, if you’re not already nuts for knots, Petit will transform you into a knot aficionado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abrams Image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256937734197,"sku":"ByrdShop_1419706764","price":27.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781419706769_f6867c52-6609-4acc-afa0-208b13e0a696.jpg?v=1779964042","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/why-knot-how-to-tie-more-than-sixty-ingenious-useful-beautiful-lifesaving-and-secure-knots-9781419706769","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
