The author of the acclaimed Living Well by Design now harnesses the power of design to create a healthy home that not only looks beautiful but also contributes to our quality of lifeIn her new book, internationally renowned design and style authority Melissa Penfold turns her attention from the basics of interior decorating to demonstrating what a powerful force design can be in boosting our physical and emotional well-being. Each chapter is devoted to an aspect of healthy, life-enhancing design, including "Ease,” "Flow,” "Light,” "Nature,” "Timelessness,” and "Awe.” All underscore the importance of introducing lots of natural light; using natural, non-toxic materials (clay plaster, timber, stone); incorporating nature into our homes, whether through views of the outside world or by filling our interior with plants; creating lots of storage (mess is stress); and recognizing the power that color has on our state of mind. Illustrating each chapter are photographs of beautiful rooms in homes around the world that embody the salutary properties of Natural Living by Design.

What makes people love and die for nations, as well as hate and kill in their name? While many studies have been written on nationalist political movements, the sense of nationality-the personal and cultural feeling of belonging to the nation-has not received proportionate attention. In this widely acclaimed work, Benedict Anderson examines the creation and global spread of the 'imagined communities' of nationality.§§Anderson explores the processes that created these communities: the territorialisation of religious faiths, the decline of antique kingship, the interaction between capitalism and print, the development of vernacular languages-of-state, and changing conceptions of time. He shows how an originary nationalism born in the Americas was modularly adopted by popular movements in Europe, by the imperialist powers, and by the anti-imperialist resistances in Asia and Africa.§§This revised edition includes two new chapters, one of which discusses the complex role of the colonialist state's mindset in the development of Third World nationalism, while the other analyses the processes by which all over the world, nations came to imagine themselves as old.

The quadrivium-the classical curriculum-comprises the four liberal arts of number, geometry, music, and cosmology. It was studied from antiquity to the Renaissance as a way of glimpsing the nature of reality. Geometry is number in space; music is number in time; and cosmology expresses number in space and time. Number, music, and geometry are metaphysical truths: life across the universe investigates them; they foreshadow the physical sciences.Quadrivium is the first volume to bring together these four subjects in many hundreds of years. Composed of six successful titles in the Wooden Books series-Sacred Geometry, Sacred Number, Harmonograph, The Elements of Music, Platonic & Archimedean Solids, and A Little Book of Coincidence-it makes ancient wisdom and its astonishing interconnectedness accessible to us today.Beautifully produced in six different colors of ink, Quadrivium will appeal to anyone interested in mathematics, music, astronomy, and how the universe works.Wooden Books was founded in 1999 by designer John Martineau near Hay-on-Wye. The aim was to produce a beautiful series of recycled books based on the classical philosophies, arts and sciences. Using the Beatrix Potter formula of text facing picture pages, and old-styles fonts, along with hand-drawn illustrations and 19th century engravings, the books are designed not to date. Small but stuffed with information. Eco friendly and educational. Big ideas in a tiny space. There are over 1,000,000 Wooden Books now in print worldwide and growing.

Todos parecían divertirse en aquel baile que reunía a lo más selecto de la sociedad londinense. Todos, excepto ellos dos. Daphne, una hermosa joven agobiada por su madre, y Simon, el huraño nuevo duque de Hastings, tenían el mismo problema: la continua presión para que encontraran pareja. Al conocerse, se les ocurrió el plan perfecto: fingir un compromiso que los liberara de más agobios. Pero no sería sencillo, ya que el hermano de Daphne, amigo de Simon, no es fácil de engañar, ni tampoco lo son las avezadas damas de la alta sociedad. Aunque lo que complicará de verdad las cosas será la aparición de un elemento que no estaba previsto en este juego a dos bandas: el amor.IDEARON UN PLAN PERFECTO EN EL QUE EL AMOR NO TENÍA CABIDA...Desde que fue presentada en sociedad, Daphne no tiene un momento de respiro. La culpa es de su madre, a la que adora, pero que está obsesionada con encontrarle un marido cuanto antes. Lo peor del caso es que los hombres razonablemente deseables no están interesados, y los que sí lo están son unos incansables pesados de los que tiene que librarse... incluso a golpes. Por eso acepta encantada la idea del duque de Hastings de fingir un noviazgo que ahuyente a los pretendientes. Aunque quizá también tenga algo que ver el hecho de que el joven duque comienza a resultarle cada vez más seductor.PERO HAY COSAS DE LAS QUE ES IMPOSIBLE ESCAPARMarcado por una infancia llena de soledad y resentimiento, Simon Basset, el nuevo duque de Hastings, no quiere saber nada de la vida social de Londres ni, desde luego, de los intentos de las elegantes damas de "cazarlo" como marido para sus hijas. Cuando conoce a Daphne, cree haber encontrado el plan perfecto: un compromiso ficticio que mantenga alejadas a las pretendientes que lo agobian. Y cuando la atracción fingida comienza a convertirse en algo demasiado real, Simon deberá enfrentarse a los fantasmas del pasado que le impiden disfrutar la felicidad que el destino pone al alcance de su mano.
