In Bloom
Flowers and plants are a staple of British life. Nearly 40% of our population considers themselves to be gardeners, making this and associated activities a national pursuit. And yet, while we hold endless discussions over how to seed, grow, and disseminate our cherished plants, we still known relatively little about how they were collected, exchanged, circulated, identified, and modified, and how much art has shaped our understanding and appreciation of them. This publication, designed to accompany the homonymous exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, explores some of these plant stories through highlights from Oxford’s collections. Bringing together historical and scientific expertise, art and material culture, traditional and contemporary artworks, this book ultimately reflects on the long-lasting impact of flora on our society – and of us on it.

A gorgeous, Gothic, Romany coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the 1980s Southern Ontario tobacco belt—with a dash of magic realism. Longing for glamour and riches and freedom, Zelda is a young woman who chafes against her Romany identity and her family's poverty. Everything changes when she’s lured away from working alongside her mother and aunts and other migrant workers in the tobacco fields and is hired as an assistant and good luck charm to the charismatic Trixie Tormentine. What starts out as a summer of ease and access to the unfettered wealth of the Tormentines—Trixie's husband Jack owns the tobacco farm that employs Zelda's family and friends—unspools into dangerous displays of power and manipulation. One of the Romany family's puppets, grandmother Puri Dai, acts as Zelda's confidante and mentor, and warns her about the devil of the tobacco fields, a harbinger of destruction. As Zelda struggles with her simmering feelings toward the Tormentines, the devil appears to her one night in a motel parking lot. Can Puri Dai's love pull Zelda back from the brink and into a new future? The fate of her family depends on it.

Iran and the Revolution
A major new history of revolutionary Iran, from the 1940s to the present
Iran's revolution in 1979 shook the world. The Pahlavi dynasty came crashing down, and the Islamic Republic rose in its place. But what led to this seismic event? How did the revolutionary movement gain such strength? And what has its legacy been for modern Iran?
In this comprehensive history, Homa Katouzian explores Iran from the 1940s to the present, showing how the revolution came into being. From the chaos of oil nationalisation to the overthrow of Mosaddeq in 1953, through the revolutionary moment itself, to the resistance movements of contemporary Iran, the revolution has had long and lasting effects. We see the profound influence of US presidents and the ramifications of Saddam Hussein's invasion in 1980. Crucially, Katouzian shows how the revolution constituted an uprising of the whole of Iranian society and was not a purely Islamic movement.
This is an engaging account of an epochal event-one which continues to shape Iran to this day.

Repetition : A Novel
In a Norwegian November, when it is dark at waking and dark at sleeping, a novelist in her sixties sits next to a teenaged girl at the opera, and through their padded jackets feels a dreadfully familiar tension conducted from the parents seated on her far side. She thinks back to her sixteenth year. The year she first got drunk and the year she first had sex with a boy.
A year of being circled by an anxious, hawkish mother and, at a notable distance, her silent father. The year her family made an unspoken decision, and an unspeakable sacrifice.
Adolf Matura
Adolf Matura (1921-1979), výrazná osobnost československého sklářského umění a designu, se zásadně podílel na podobě užitkového a dekorativního skla padesátých až sedmdesátých let minulého století. Studoval v ateliéru profesora Karla Štipla na pražské Uměleckoprůmyslové škole. Po krátkém působení jako samostatný rytec skla začal v roce 1952 působit jako designér v Ústředním výtvarném středisku pro průmysl skla a jemné keramiky. Se svými návrhy se zúčastnil významných mezinárodních přehlídek užitého umění XI. Trienále v Miláně v roce 1957 a světové výstavy Expo 58 v Bruselu. Roku 1959 se stal vedoucím výtvarníkem oboru skla v nově vzniklém Ústavu bytové a oděvní kultury (ÚBOK) v Praze. Jako zkušený designér vytvořil množství návrhů foukaného, broušeného i hutně tvarovaného skla, především se ale zaměřil na sklo lisované, jehož vývoj progresivně ovlivnil jak z výtvarného, tak z technologického hlediska.
Kniha představuje Maturovu tvorbu od raných autorských ryteckých prací, které v letech 1957 až 1960 úspěšně reprezentovaly moderní československé sklo na mezinárodních výstavách užitého umění a skla, po sochařsky řešené lisované vázy z let šedesátých a sedmdesátých, jimiž podstatně ovlivnil a obohatil výtvarnou podobu sériové produkce užitkového i dekorativního skla.
Kniha vychází jako devátý svazek edice Design Profily Osobnosti.
