Kitchenalia
Kitchenalia showcases the vast creative potential of vintage kitchenware, reclaimed furniture and upcycled accessories. Here is everything you need for furnishing and styling a kitchen with personality, panache and unique retro charm. Kitchenalia is an inspiring guide to putting together a unique and creative kitchen using vintage pots and pans, family treasures such as your grandmother's old scales, classic designs that have stood the test of time, retro-inspired and second-hand china and glass and reclaimed and reinvented surfaces and furniture. This book demonstrates that period pieces, whether retro utensils and gadgets, farmhouse furniture or salvaged surfaces, are the antithesis of the mass-produced modern alternatives and have a timeless integrity. Sourcing such items from flea markets and antiques fairs is a unique and rewarding way to kit out a kitchen. Vinny Lee first shows how three designers transform a modern fitted kitchen in very different ways, to demonstrate how easy it is to add a personal sense of style. The Kitchenalia Kitchen then showcases the key styles and themes that characterize this approach, including the Retro Kitchen, the Collector's Kitchen, the Reclaimed Kitchen and the Painted Kitchen. Kitchenalia Elements presents everything that can be used to get the look you want, from pans, crockery, storage tins and containers to furniture, surfaces and lighting. Packed with advice on sourcing, reinventing, repurposing and displaying, Kitchenalia is an inspiring and informative guide to creating a kitchen with heart and soul.

Living in Style - How We Live
Private encounters in Exceptional Environments! The strange artwork that hangs above the bed, the well-sorted sneaker collection: artifacts, the stuff of life-insanely expensive or sentimental mementos-from around the world. These are the things that spark the imagination, that make you want to change things in your own home. And they reveal an awful lot about the character, dreams, and souls of these lucky few. The authors and photographers from Welt am Sonntag visited these top creative minds, artists and style icons in their homes. Among them are a daughter of Danish architect and designer Verner Panton, the son of the legendary Piero Fornasetti, Picasso biographer John Richardson, Axel Vervoordt, the master of sparse opulence, an attorney who is also a passionate collector, a Frenchman who reigns over a hair-care empire in New York, and Berlin's most controversial architect. The results are far from highly polished photo productions in which each bouquet of flowers is carefully arranged, each coffee table book straightened at a right angle with the homeowners hiding behind perfect tastes. Here you'll find our rather intimate encounters that offer glimpses into unmapped territories. Private, curious, and-fortunately-a little eccentric. We would like to thank these people for inviting us into their homes. At the same time, we would like to encourage our readers to take this book as a halfway-serious encouragement for shaping your own lives. A portrait of Mick Jagger by Andy Warhol over the mantel, a vase you have made yourself or a thoroughly impractical gigantic sculpture in the dining room make life simply better. In other words, stop listening to the TV and try this at home! Style experts and co-authors, Adriano Sack and Dagmar von Taube, have compiled the most beautiful home stories published in Welt am Sonntag into a fascinating photo volume that is a wonderful source of ideas for your own home.

The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
'This novel is a freedom song. Every page has the stamp of Roy's originality. Such brutality, such beauty' Amitva Kumar, the author of Immigrant, Montana 'Intricately layered and passionate, studded with jokes and with horrors...[and] no less immersing than The God of Small Things...This is a work of extraordinary intricacy and grace' Prospect Magazine The first novel in 20 years from the Booker-prize winning author of The God of Small Things 'The first novel in 20 years from Roy, and worth the wait: a humane, engaged near fairy tale' Kirkus (starred review) The Ministry of Utmost Happiness takes us on a journey of many years-the story spooling outwards from the cramped neighbourhoods of Old Delhi into the burgeoning new metropolis and beyond, to the Valley of Kashmir and the forests of Central India, where war is peace and peace is war, and where, from time to time, 'normalcy' is declared. Anjum, who used to be Aftab, unrolls a threadbare carpet in a city graveyard that she calls home. A baby appears quite suddenly on a pavement, a little after midnight, in a crib of litter. The enigmatic S.Tilottama is as much of a presence as she is an absence in the lives of the three men who loved her. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness is at once an aching love story and a decisive remonstration. It is told in a whisper, in a shout, through tears and sometimes with a laugh. Its heroes are people who have been broken by the world they live in and then rescued, mended by love-and by hope. For this reason, they are as steely as they are fragile, and they never surrender. This ravishing, magnificent book reinvents what a novel can do and can be. And it demonstrates on every page the miracle of Arundhati Roy's storytelling gifts. 'Ambitious, original, and haunting' Publishers Weekly (starred review) 'A masterpiece. Roy joins Dickens, Naipaul, Garcia Marquez, and Rushdie in her abiding compassion, storytelling magic, and piquant wit. An entrancing, imaginative, and wrenching epic' Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)

From Global to Local
For the past thirty years or more, the global economy has been run based on three big assumptions: globalisation will continue to increase; trade is the route to growth and development; and economic power is moving from West to East. But what if all these are wrong? From Global to Local shows how the world trading structure has already begun to shift, with irrevocable consequences for the global economy. Volatile oil prices, the pressures of sustainability and the availability of new technologies - such as 3D printing and automation - mean that companies, from General Electric to Apple, are beginning to move production away from distant countries and back home. If robots can make everything, why would companies use Chinese workers? Power is shifting, trade is shrinking and making things is revolutionising. Finbarr Livesey explores the making of this new world economic order, revealing the processes that lie behind it and showing how no one will be left untouched by its arrival.

Bags
Illuminating the evolution of bag designs and uses from the medieval period to today, the author explores early drawstring creations and richly worked ecclesiastical purses, before looking at large work bags of the 18th century, and by contrast the small reticules that were designed to complement high-waisted Empire line dresses. Increased travel in the 19th century brought about the leather handbag as we know it today, while the 20th century saw an explosion of innovations, from 1930s designs reflecting the streamlined American aesthetic and the use of new synthetics such as imitation patent and Vynide, to the rise of the luxury designer handbag by the likes of Hermes, Gucci, Chanel and Prada. After a general introduction, chronological chapters unfold, illustrated throughout; a detailed glossary, bibliography and index conclude the book. An inspiring, impeccably researched and concise history of bags through the ages, Bags: A Brief History is a musthave resource for students, designers and lovers of fashion and costume
