Descrição do livro
Piscuchas are the kites of El Salvador. This full-color guide teaches five traditional Salvadoran kites as Jose Morales learned them — the simple diamond, the hexagonal piscucha, the six-pointed estrella, the box kite, and a large-scale build — each shown the same clear way, with diagrams of its frame, its covering, its bridle, and the finished kite in flight. You'll learn how a kite actually flies and how to read and correct one in the air, plus chapters on color and decoration, launching, troubleshooting, and repair. The projects were built and evaluated by the author during development; because materials and wind vary, the book guides you to start with modest sizes and adjust gradually, with safety guidance throughout. A carefully sourced closing note distinguishes the author's own family and community experience from general Salvadoran terminology, from common international kite-building, and from the distinct Guatemalan giant-kite tradition it is often confused with — with references to UNESCO, Guatemala's Ministry of Culture and Sports, and NASA's aerodynamics resources.
