From the beloved actress Isabella Rossellini comes Green Porno, a strange and enlightening visual exploration of the sex lives of insects and sea creatures, based on the wildly popular short videos of the same name.

My Chickens and I
"When a cardboard carton dotted with airholes arrived at her door, Isabelle Rossellini expected to welcome thirty-eight yellow chicks to her Long Island farm. Much to her surprise, her newly hatched brood included a diverse mix of heritage breeds - a discovery that prompted further research into the traits, behaviors, and history of each one. Pairing wry observations and fun facts with charming photographs by Patrice Casanova and hand-drawn illustrations by Isabella herself, My Chickens and I perfectly captures the fine-feathered glory and surprising intelligence of these spirited backyard birds."--Back cover.

"For the past thirty years, Italian-born Pietro Cicognani has been designing highly customized and exquisitely crafted country houses, city apartments, outbuildings, pool houses, and even garden plans for an A-list clientele. In the first monograph on his work, some twenty of his most notable projects are featured, including a reconverted barn complex on Long Island, a sprawling estate in upstate New York, a chic minimalist townhouse in Manhattan, and a romantic seaside house and elaborate garden in the Hamptons.
