This Must Be the Place
In This Must Be the Place, interior designer Chloe Redmond Warner explains how to design a home with real personality, layered with color, pattern, and unexpected touches that feel unmistakably personal. Little Women on Acid . . . 1970s Sofia Coppola in Palm Beach . . . Stuart Little Goes Big . . . These are the fantasies designer Chloe Redmond Warner concocts for her clients. Now, in her debut book, Warner demonstrates how these beguilingly creative inspirations germinate into delightfully layered interiors. Though each of Warner’s interiors is aesthetically distinct from the next, the homes she features in This Must Be the Place all embrace ornament, tactile materiality, pattern play, sentimental totems, and exuberant color choices. Formally trained in architecture and known for infusing wit and charm into her designs, Warner has a singular perspective that marries strategic space planning with uniquely personal touches. The result is homes that each have their own defined feeling and serve as meaningful backdrops to all of life’s experiences—without taking themselves too seriously. With confidence and a sense of mischief, Warner infuses her interiors and this book with a poetic mash-up of effortless and refined, pretty and perfectly unexpected. In This Must Be the Place, Warner expands her design briefs, breaking down the elements—spread between art, architecture, and decoration—that, together, instill a carefully calibrated atmosphere. Each chapter opens with a “Style Guide” adapted from the mood boards she presents clients at the beginning of each project; what she calls a “sourdough starter” for the design. From there, she articulates how she coaxes her signature mix of color, pattern, materiality, ornament, light, totems, and artifacts. Warner believes that anyone can learn from her design approach and walks readers through her process step by step, while offering lots of insight and inspiration along the way. With playlists, pop-culture references, and stunning photography that perfectly showcases Warner’s personality and her aesthetic, this book is perfect for those looking to inject more creativity, fun, and color into their homes.

I felt both the sticky heat of Egypt, and the cool breeze of the Queen's apartments at night."***** "10/10 a much needed exploration into one of the most infamous women in ancient history"***** "It shows her not so much as the beautiful seductress we see in other stories but clever and young ruler, and later mother. I liked seeing her grow as a person and ruler, but what I enjoyed most was her relationship with her slave and companion, it added a vulnerable side to her character that we rarely see."***** "Solomon's gift is to immerse you in an immediately believable world and to connect you with character from the start. I found myself constantly wanting to check details reading Cleopatra, fascinated by the woman coming alive before me."***** "I raced through the final section, heart wrung for the women whose story is forgotten in the plays. Just brilliant!"

The Art of Biodiversity
Strikingly original and abundantly illustrated, The Art of Biodiversity surveys the golden age of natural history art, exploring the alliance between scientists and artists that first revealed the astonishing diversity of life on Earth.
Between 1700 and 1900, an art movement unveiled nature’s great secret: the global diversity of life-forms. Centuries before the word “biodiversity” existed, naturalists began to glimpse the reality that lay behind Charles Darwin’s lyrical evocation of nature’s “endless forms most beautiful.”
The naturalists recruited artists to create a family album of Earth, with every picture a precise drawing of a species of plant or animal, and so science and art, for the first and last time, went exploring together.
The Art of Biodiversity recounts key chapters in the history of scientific nature art, with more than 330 color illustrations of surpassing beauty. It’s a story about art that’s not in the art history books, and a story about science that’s missing from histories of science. Here, such giants as Linnaeus, Buffon, Cuvier, Humboldt, and Darwin cross paths with superb artists, including Merian, Redouté, Audubon, and Haeckel, among many others.
This art first appeared in vividly illustrated books that, in a world without photography or film, offered readers a vastly expanded vision of nature. The Art of Biodiversity introduces the reader to the extraordinary men and women who created these books. They focused exquisite artistic skills on nature, traded in exotic seashells and butterflies, collected bird and monkey specimens in tropical rainforests, dredged strange invertebrates from the depths of the ocean, peered through magnifying lenses at insects, and dug prehistoric bones out of the earth.
After sinking out of sight in the twentieth century, biodiversity art resurfaced in the twenty-first in myriad forms that reach millions of people on the Internet, as the natural history books in the world’s great libraries were digitized and made available to all. The Art of Biodiversity plots a course through this wealth of material to chronicle the only art movement that successfully aligned the goals of art and science, for the transcendent purpose of documenting and understanding the natural world.
The Gods of New York
New York City entered 1986 as a city reborn, with record profits on Wall Street sending waves of money splashing across Manhattan and bringing a once-bankrupt and reeling city back to life. But it also entered 1986 as a city divided. Nearly one-third of the city's Black and Hispanic residents were living below the poverty line. Thousands of New Yorkers were sleeping in the streets - and in many cases addicted to drugs, dying of AIDS, or suffering from mental illness. The manufacturing jobs that had once sustained a thriving middle class had vanished. Long-simmering racial tensions were boiling over.
Over the next four years, a singular confluence of events - involving a cast of outsized, unforgettable characters - would widen those divisions into chasms. Ed Koch. Donald Trump. Al Sharpton. The Central Park Five. Larry Kramer. Spike Lee. Rudy Giuliani. Howard Beach. Tawana Brawley. The Preppy Murder. The Tompkins Square Riots. Jimmy Breslin. Ivan Boesky. Do the Right Thing, Wall Street, crack, the AIDS epidemic, Black Monday and, of course, ready to pour gasoline on every fire - the tabloids.
In The Gods of New York, bestselling author Jonathan Mahler tells the story of these outsized characters and of these convulsive, defining years. It's an exuberant, kaleidoscopic, and deeply immersive portrait of a city in transformation, one whose long-held identity was suddenly up for grabs: Could it be both the great working-class city, drawing in and lifting up immigrants from around the world and the money-soaked capital of global finance? Could it retain a civic culture - a common idea of what it meant to be a New Yorker - when the rich were building a city of their own and vast swaths of its citizens were losing faith in the systems that were intended to protect them? New York was one thing at the dawn of 1986; it would be something very different as 1989 came to a close. This book is the story of how that happened.
A Trick Of The Mind
How does your brain decide what it's seeing, from the physical world to other people? For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realising that the answer lies much closer to home than it seems.
The latest research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in.
In this book Daniel Yon takes the research one step further, uncovering how your brain colours your perception of the world, the judgements you make about other people and the beliefs you form about yourself. With transformative applications for how we engage with other communities and approach mental illness, A Trick of The Mind will revolutionise the way you think.
Burnout Summer
Camille Luna’s life is not going according to plan. Her corporate job drains her soul, her student loans won’t quit, and her ex is now the wedge between her once-close college friendship group.
When a bad night ends in a holding cell and one phone call, it’s Danny - the charming slacker of their group turned unexpected success story - who answers.
Now running a seaside restaurant in Elswick, Rhode Island, Danny offers her the perfect escape: a summer of waitressing shifts, beach walks and late-night swims. With no five year plan in insight, Cam finds herself reigniting old dreams, and catching serious feelings for Danny…
But summer isn’t forever. With September looming, Cam must choose: return to the safe, burned-out version of herself, or take a risk on the life - and the love - she never saw coming.

Andrea, prostřední sestra, se marně pokouší proniknout do blízkosti, kterou spolu máma a starší Ulrika vždycky měly. Ať se snaží sebevíc, zůstává stranou. Ullis naopak vidí mladší sestru jako tatínkovu oblíbenkyni, která vždycky dostala, co chtěla, pokaždé si prosadila svou, a přesto nikdy není spokojená. A nejmladší Rasmus? Ten celý život stojí ve stínu sester, jež spolu soupeří o pozornost a uznání – a teď si klade otázku, jak moc ho to poznamenalo.

Každý ze tří sourozenců má naprosto odlišné vzpomínky na dětství. Každý z nich je jiný. Kdo z nich však vlastní ten „správný“ obraz minulosti? Co se celá léta tajilo? Kdo nese vinu? A co si jako sourozenci navzájem dlužíme?

A House in Sicily
During WWII, a young Tuscan woman falls in love with a man from the rural depths of southern Italy. As the conflict finally draws to a close, the two travel from Rome to finally meet with his family. But very quickly a dawning realisation breaks: her in-laws and their friends are eccentric in the extreme. They barely leave the house and they rarely speak to their son, fretting instead about their 'daughter' - a loud little dog - and worrying constantly, incessantly, about the weather. And, worst of all, they speak with a nostalgic warmth about the region's recently overthrown fascist regime…
Translated by Ann Goldstein, the world-renowned translator of Elena Ferrante, A House in Sicily is a brilliantly funny, razor sharp examination of family life in the shadow of the darkest period of modern Italian history, and the most exciting rediscovered European classic in decades.

The Issa Valley
'An idyll of immense charm ... a masterpiece' John Bayley, The New York Review of Books
'Thomas was born in the village of Gine at that time of year when a ripe apple thumps to the ground during an afternoon lull.' So a boy's life begins in a winding river valley on the Polish-Russian border where time is measured by seasonal rhythms and ancient songs. For Thomas, the ghosts in the forest are as real as the magical water-snakes that live in the Issa; in the village he is entranced by the women with their cinched waists and the men in their long boots. But when he is shown a map, he discovers a kingdom all his own and starts to dream of leaving the valley behind.

Pathemata
A profound and deeply personal exploration of pain, the body and loss by the beloved author of Bluets and The Argonauts'Full of warmth, wisdom and weirdness' JENNY MUSTARDThis is a dreamlike portrait of a body in struggle to connect with itself and others. As the narrator contends with chronic pain, and with a pandemic raging in the background, she sets out to examine the literal and symbolic role of the mouth in the life of a writer. Pathemata recounts the narrator’s tragicomic search to alleviate her suffering, a search that eventually becomes a reckoning with various forms of loss – the loss of intimacy, the loss of her father and the loss of a pivotal friend and mentor. In exacting, distilled prose, her account blurs the lines between embodied, unconscious and everyday life.
