Ikebana Unbound
Named a Best Interior Design Book of 2020 by Food52 "A modern take on a centuries-old art that’s breathtakingly simple.” —Booklist, starred review At its heart, the Japanese art of ikebana is about celebrating an intimate connection with nature. To practice ikebana is to find inspiration in the seasons, favor unassuming blooms and branches, seek balance and simplicity, and remain fully present in the moment. It is a beautiful, pure antidote to our age of distraction and excess. Honoring the lineage of ikebana while making the art their own, Amanda Luu and Ivanka Matsuba of Studio Mondine show us new ways to tell stories with flowers. They offer step-by-step instructions for dozens of stunning, seasonal arrangements, while in the process introducing readers to the themes and stylistic signatures of the art. In Studio Mondine’s hands, this centuries-old practice feels undeniably fresh—and readers are given the gift of learning to create unique, meaningful, and authentic arrangements.

A Nation of Deadbeats
Pundits will argue that the 2008 financial crisis was the first crash in American history driven by consumer debt. But in this spirited, highly engaging account, Scott Reynolds Nelson demonstrates that consumer debt has underpinned almost every major financial panic in the nation’s history. From William Duer’s attempts to profit off the country’s post-Revolutionary War debt to an 1815 plan to sell English coats to Americans on credit, to the debt-fueled railroad expansion that precipitated the 1857 crash: in each case, the chain of banks, brokers, moneylenders, and insurance companies that separated borrowers and lenders made it impossible to distinguish good loans from bad. Bound up in this history are stories of national banks funded by smugglers, fistfights in Congress over the gold standard, America’s early dependence on British bankers, and how presidential campaigns were forged in controversies over private debt. An irreverent, wholly accessible, eye-opening book.

New Girl Order
Photographer Iain McKell, well-known for identifying emerging cultural trends, befriended a tribe of young female artists and spent two years documenting their lives in and around a shared warehouse in Tottenham. His resulting photographs depict a hedonistic lifestyle of freedom and creativity co-created in an urban environment. Calling themselves 'the sisterhood', the characters in McKell's work form a fierce army of women with their own particular take on self-expression.

Response to Intervention (Rti)
The Book entitled Response to Intervention (RTI): In Indian Context is the outcome of the research on response to intervention (RTI) in Indian schools. Chapter 1 gives an overview of RTI, its historical roots, and the major components of RTI model. Chapter 2 portrays the RTI model implemented in Indian schools. It details the development of measures based on curriculum for assessment of reading and math ability. Chapter 3 and 4 describe the English reading and math instruction in RTI in Indian context with illustration. Chapter 5 highlights the effect of RTI on reading and math emerged out of the Indian research. I am hopeful that this book will serve as a guideline for teachers and researchers to adopt RTI models in schools.
