Nina Campbell Interiors
Nina Campbell is one of the world’s most respected and influential interior designers. Her current projects include a large residence on mainland China, a private house for a member of the Jordanian royal family in Amman, a town house in New York, and a country house hotel overlooking Cheltenham race course, and it is this broad range of commissions that makes Nina uniquely qualified to guide the home decorator. Nina Campbell Interiors focuses on introducing all-important detail into the home, whether in the form of texture, color, lighting, art, flowers, or other finishing touches. This book features the private homes of Nina’s clients, ranging from a city pied-a-terre to a large family home, from a chic apartment to a country bolt-hole, a vast home in Shanghai and a New York brownstone, all designed and decorated to suit a range of lifestyles, but all reflecting Nina’s infallible eye for detail.
me and Nina
"Monica Hand's me and Nina is a beautiful book by a soul survivor. In these poems she sings deep songs of violated intimacy and the hard work of repair. The poems are unsentimental, blood-red, and positively true, note for note, like the singing of Nina Simone herself. Hand has written a moving, deeply satisfying, and unforgettable book."—Elizabeth Alexander In an intimate conversation with the "High Priestess of Soul," Monica A. Hand surveys the places and moods of alienation through poems that are as musical and stylistically diverse as Nina Simone's work. Hand readily embraces a "mass hypnosis" style, putting "a spell on [us]" with her intensely passionate cries and commitment to embrac...

Nina's Memento Mori
Near the end of Nabokov's Lolita, Humbert makes an honest admission: "[A]nd it struck me…that I simply did not know a thing about my darling's mind." That line sums up the isolate game of memorializing a deceased loved one, which is the basic tension in Nina's Memento Mori, an elegy to Mathias Freese's lost wife. The profound responsibility of answering the question "Who was Nina?" is left to the lone memoirist: I can say or write anything I want about her…There is much writerly power in that. I am the executor of her probate in all things now. She is mine now in ways she could not be when alive. I am the steward of her memory. Freese ends up analyzing himself, putting the "me" in "memento" and the "i" in "mori," thanks to ever-giving Nina posthumously providing a therapeutic mirror or "Rosebud," which Freese appropriates from Citizen Kane. But Freese mourns more over the burden of existence than over its loss. Appropriately, for Kane is not about the symbolic sled as much as it's about the cumulative snow that buries it.

Nina's Pandemic Cravings
Months trapped at home alone with her stepdad due to a mandatory quarantine, Nina struggles to maintain a normal life with a possessive boyfriend who tries to convince Nina to go all the way. It’s not as though she’s not interested, but Nina is questioning whether her boyfriend Troy is the right one for her. When her stepdaddy steps in, everything changes, and being locked away in their Los Angeles home doesn’t seem so bad. Especially when Nina learns that the boy she thought she wanted is a pale comparison to the man who has been right in front of her this entire time.
La Niña and the Making of Climate Optimism
This book examines the deep connection Australians have with their climate to understand contemporary views on human-induced climate change. It is the first study of the Australian relationship with La Niña and it explains how fundamental this relationship is to the climate change debate both locally and globally. While unease with the Australian environment was a hallmark of early settler relations with a new continent, this book argues that the climate itself quickly became a source of hope and linked to progress. Once observed, weather patterns coalesced into recognizable cycles of wet and dry years and Australians adopted a belief in the certainty of good seasons. It was this optimistic response to climate linked to La Niña that laid the groundwork for this relationship with the Australian environment. This book will appeal to scholars and students of the environmental humanities, history and science as well as anyone concerned about climate change.
