The Swedish Country House
Swedish country houses are among Europes best-kept secrets. Little known to the outside world and rarely illustrated, they survive in surprisingly large numbers, often with their original furniture and decoration. This book is the first to tell their story. The twenty examples examined in detail range in type from royal palace to farmhouse, and in date from 15th-century Torpa to 19th-century Stjernsund. They all reflect the talents of many important architects and designers who together forged a distinctive national style.

They include the Villa Balbianello, Isola Bella, Giardini Giusti, Villa Medici, Villa Gamberaia, La Mortella, Villa Lante, Villa d'Este, Giardini di Ninfa, plus some important modern gardens.

United Nations
This lavish book tells the dramatic story behind the building of the UN Headquarters, never before related as revealingly as it is here. The authors bring us on an exclusive tour around the entire complex through 150 specially commissioned photographs. The idea for locating the United Nations Headquarters in an evil-smelling slaughterhouse district sprang from an astute real estate broker; the finance came from the Rockefeller family; and the architecture from Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer and Sven Markelius, among others. In a few months of intense creativity the team conjured up a symbol for peace in the form of a set of ultramodern buildings that still inspire hope for a better future. This large-format book of 244 pages is probably the most exquisite book on the architecture of the UN Headquarters ever published
