Capability Brown
One of the most remarkable men of the 18th century, Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown was known to many as ‘The Omnipotent Magician’ who could transform unpromising countryside into beautiful parks that seemed to be only the work of nature. His list of clients included half the House of Lords, six Prime Ministers and even royalty. Although his fame has dimmed, we still enjoy many of his works today at National Trust properties such as Croome Park, Petworth, Berrington, Stowe, Wimpole, Blenheim Palace, Highclere Castle (location of the ITV series Downton Abbey) and many more. In Capability Brown, author and garden historian Sarah Rutherford tells his triumphant story, uncovers his aims and reveals why he was so successful. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs of contemporary sites, historical paintings and garden plans, this is an accessible book for anyone who wants to know more about the man who changed the face of the nation and created a landscape style which for many of us defines the English countryside.
Blue Plateau
'I came to the plateau in the winter of ninety-eight. A place a thousand metres in the air ... a world of sandstone and eucalypt and unregenerate weather, a place just fallen from the sky ...' The Blue Plateau is a lyrical natural history of the Blue Mountains, and a memoir of one man's attempt to belong there. An inspired meditation on the contours of the land and its people, of time and place and family, the rhythms of nature and the rhythms of friendship, it is a book of many belongings.Here you will meet the plateau's first people; you will meet Les and Henryk and Jim; you will walk the Kedumba and the Kanimbla in drought and fire and flood. Evocative and deeply moving, The Blue Plateau is a poet's story of an astonishing place and a loving portrait of home.
Western Decorative Arts: Volume 1
This volume is one of several that examines the National Gallery of Art's distinguished collection of decorative arts. (The second volume will be published in 1996.) The group treated here is composed primarily of works acquired from the Widener Collection, and amplified by holdings acquired from the Kress family. Included are more than eighty Medieval, Renaissance, and later historic objects in a wide variety of media, encompassing metalwork, stained glass, enamels, ceramics, and jewels. Among the highlights are a Limoges reliquary chasse, a Mosan lion aquamanile, thirty-eight pieces in a remarkable cohesive group of Italian maiolica, three of the very rare pottery objects known as 'Saint-Porchaire', and, the centerpiece of the collection, the Suger chalice, an ancient sardonyx cup to which the Abbot Suger added a bejewelled golden setting in the twelfth century. Like other volumes in the Systematic Catalogue of the National Gallery of Art Collections,Western Decorative Arts includes a thoroughly researched entry for each object, together with an artist biography, up-to-date bibliography, and a technical analysis.
Zavaros vér
Cormoran Strike magánnyomozó épp a családját látogatja meg Cornwallban. Egy nő keresi fel, hogy segítsen neki megtalálni édesanyját, Margot Bamborought, aki rejtélyes körülmények között tűnt el 1974-ben. Strike sosem nyúlt döglött aktákhoz, főleg nem olyanhoz, amely negyven éve megoldatlan. És bár kevés esély van arra, hogy a végére járhat, mégis elvállalja az ügyet, a számos másik mellé, amelyen partnerével, Robin Ellacott-tal dolgoznak. Robin éppen egy küzdelmes váláson megy keresztül, egy másik férfi is érdeklődik iránta, miközben a Strike iránt táplált érzéseivel is viaskodik. Strike és Robin nyomozása Margot eltűnése után egy pokolian bonyolult üggyé alakul, tarot kártyákkal, egy pszichopata sorozatgyilkossal és megbízhatatlan szemtanúkkal. Mindketten megtanulják, hogy olykor a több évtizede megoldatlan ügyek is halálosak tudnak lenni. Lélegzetelállító, labirintus-szerű eposz; a Zavaros vér a Cormoran Strike-sorozat ötödik és egyben a legizgalmasabb része.

The family's fortune was made by Sir Julius Wernher, financier, mining magnate, and one of the creators of modern South Africa.
