Download or read book The New Country Style England written by Chloe Grimshaw and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in a new series that breathes freshness into interior and lifestyle books, The New Country Style England presents a wide array of rural retreats, seaside cottages, forest huts, and nature getaways. While the city home has undergone countless well-documented stylistic changes, there has been a quiet revolution going on in the countryside. The picture of pastoral perfection (think chintz) is being reinvigorated and modernized by the creativity of a new generation of owners, reflected in the stylish (and sometimes utterly unexpected) interiors of their homes. A converted neo-Gothic church is home to a contemporary furniture maker and his family, with Arne Jacobsen chairs in the dining room, Pucci upholstery in the chapel, and a trampoline for the children in the nave. In Gloucestershire, a dark wooden bed from Lombok is tucked into the eaves of an old rectory, while a Venetian glass chandelier hangs in the dining room, and hand-painted Chinoiserie adorns the walls. The mix of colors and textures, palettes and patterns, and, most importantly, a commingling of eras all help to make this book a visual delight. The intrinsic value comes with the hundreds of photographs, an incredible juxtaposition of detail, and a handsome heft. The New Country Style England showcases interiors that redefine traditional country style with wit, fun, and modern taste. It's the rustic experiencewith a here-and-now twist!

Download or read book Graze written by Suzanne Lenzer and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grazing is an enchanting way to eat. It means skipping from dish to dish, tasting different things without committing to a single one. It’s about creating multiple dishes that work together as a meal, that all share a theme, an aesthetic. When she entertains, or even pulls together a quick dinner for just two, food stylist Suzanne Lenzer enjoys this tapas-style of eating―and with her guidance, you can too. When it comes to making small plates at home, start with cheese and charcuterie, but then combine this classic with a few easy dishes that make a meal special. Try your hand at fun, fast recipes like chickpea fries with Meyer lemon-scented aioli; roasted beet tartare with cheese and pistachios; kale, spinach, and Pecorino pizza slivers; sardine bruchetta with fennel and preserved lemons; scallop and plum ceviche with tarragon; and lemon-lavender posset―to name just a few. Making delicious, beautiful dishes and snacks for grazing, whether for two or twelve, doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. Graze is full of tips to help you prepare healthy, wholesome, and appetizing food without spending hours in the kitchen.

Book excerpt: How, if possible, to re-populate declining rural and regional areas? Examining this crucial and complex issue in relation to Australia, this book explores how a particular organization, 'Country Week', has emerged and developed as one means of stimulating the repopulation of declining or stagnating areas. While this is a problem shared by many other developed countries in Europe and North America, Australia's 'Country Week' programme puts forward an innovative range of place-marketing strategies that challenge rural decline and urban migration and can offer new approaches which could be adopted more widely.

Download or read book The Geographical Imagination of Annie Proulx written by Alex Hunt and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly readable edited collection focuses on the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx. Each contributor to this volume explores a different facet of Proulx's striking attention to geography, place, landscape, regional environments, and local economies in her writing. Covering all of her novels and short story collections, scholars from the United States, Canada, and abroad engage in critical analyses of Proulx's new regionalism, use of geographical settings, and themes of displacement and immigration. Taken together, these essays demonstrate Annie Proulx's contribution to new regionalist understandings of place on local, national, and global scales. Readers will come away with a better understanding of Proulx's particular landscapes_particularly those of Wyoming, New England, Texas, and Newfoundland_and the issues surrounding the significance of these regions in contemporary American culture and literature.

Download or read book Callen s Calling written by Sandra Leigh Savage and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Callen Michaels and Andrew Manne first meet at a wedding in 1990 and fall madly in love. She is a freelance writer and artist. He is a stylist for a high-end fashion magazine in Vancouver, British Columbia. Seven years later, on March 30, 1997, Andrew commits suicide. Two days later, Callen is brutally raped. This is their tragic love story. But even after these two life-changing events, Callen is able to start over. This compelling novel is loosely based on author Sandra Leigh Savage's life. Her husband's suicide prompted her to write the Together Forever series in the hopes it would help others who have experienced the devastation of suicide. After coming out of the darkness following her late husband's death, Sandra Leigh was inspired to write a love story between two people who come together, but are ripped apart when Callen finds Andrew dead from suicide. "It is in this story that I dedicate this book to my late husband, Andrew Michael Savage, who committed suicide on March 30, 1997." About the Author Sandra Leigh Savage says, "People don't like to talk about suicide, but this subject needs to be heard again from another perspective. Mine. I am a survivor of suicide. I believe that my life was spared and I was needed here to share this story of heartbreak and deep sadness. I want to put a name to suicide; my husband's, Andrew Michael Savage. It took many years of recovery for me to wake up again and to start a new life." She wants to show others how to move on and begs readers: "Hear my message, hear Andrew's message. Please, choose life over suicide." She lives in Burnaby, British Columbia. Headshot photographer: Kasha Raelaina Savage Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/SandraLeighSavage

Download or read book If I Die I ll Only Be Dead written by Bill Shelzi and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mitch LaNue, a steadfast, hard-fisted, head-strong young man, is self-conscious of his lack of education. He has the ambition to rise above poverty and be respected, but his compassion for the underdog and his great devotion to country and honor could destroy him. One of five children, Mitch grows up in Brooklyn. When the effects of the Great Depression and the loss of a valuable patent devastate his father, Mitch's extremely juvenile mother is at liberty to raise the children in her own infantile way. Mitch's older brother Paul, keen minded and without scruples, is always scheming with ingenious swindles and knows he can con anyone. He respects no one and believes strongly in self-preservation-at anyone's expense. Victor, the youngest LaNue brother, is a cynic from a life of many disappointments. He doesn't know which brother to look up to: the bold, violent fighter or the resourceful con artist. In forming their manhood, Mitch and his brothers' personalities differ in morality, wants, and needs-but all three are determined to survive by methods inherited from their youth. From the 1929 stock market crash, through World War II, and into the Korean War, If I Die, I'll Only Be Dead recounts Mitch's life as he lives by his own unique philosophy.

Book excerpt: During World War II, aviation was among the largest industrial branches of the Third Reich. About 40 percent of total German war production, and two million people, were involved in the manufacture of aircraft and air force equipment. Based on German records, Allied intelligence reports, and eyewitness accounts, this study explores the military, political, scientific and social aspects of Germany's wartime aviation industry: production, research and development, Allied attacks, foreign workers and slave labor, and daily life and working conditions in the factories. Testimony from Holocaust survivors who worked in the factories provides a compelling new perspective on the history of the Third Reich.
