New Moroccan Style
With its intoxicating design mix of Berber, Arab, Spanish and Art Deco styles, Morocco could well be called the birthplace of fusion - and it continues to absorb design influences from the West. In New Moroccan Style, now available in paperback, Susan Sully takes readers on a lavishly illustrated tour through some of Morocco's private homes, stylish resorts and intimate guest-houses. We visit Dar Tamsna, the epitome of Moroccan fusion, and a riad that is a meditation in grey and white. Orientalism reigns in a village in a date palm grove, while an old stone house outside Essaouira has been transformed into a sensually rustic retreat. Sully catalogues both traditional and contemporary arts and crafts, to show readers how to introduce the beauty and spirit of Morocco into their home decor. Complementing the houses are recipes and tips for entertaining Moroccan-style, as well as a comprehensive source guide for travellers and shoppers. A treasure trove of ideas and images, here is a treat for the eyes, palate and imagination brought to life by a fresh voice in design.
The Lusiads
First published in 1572, The Lusiads is one of the greatest epic poems of the Renaissance, immortalizing Portugal's voyages of discovery with an unrivalled freshness of observation. At the centre of The Lusiads is Vasco da Gama's pioneer voyage via southern Africa to India in 1497-98. The first European artist to cross the equator, Camoes's narrative reflects the novelty and fascination of that original encounter with Africa, India and the Far East. The poem's twin symbols are the Cross and the Astrolabe, and its celebration of a turning point in mankind's knowledge of the world unites the old map of the heavens with the newly discovered terrain on earth. Yet it speaks powerfully, too, of the precariousness of power, and of the rise and decline of nationhood, threatened not only from without by enemies, but from within by loss of integrity and vision.

An Unsettled Conquest
The former French colony of Acadia—permanently renamed Nova Scotia by the British when they began an ambitious occupation of the territory in 1710—witnessed one of the bitterest struggles in the British empire. Whereas in its other North American colonies Britain assumed it could garner the sympathies of fellow Europeans against the native peoples, in Nova Scotia nothing was further from the truth. The Mi'kmaq, the native local population, and the Acadians, descendants of the original French settlers, had coexisted for more than a hundred years prior to the British conquest, and their friendships, family ties, common Catholic religion, and commercial relationships proved resistant to Bri...
