"James Bartholomew's Yew and Non-Yew is the Official Preppy Handbook for the gardening set. (The title comes from the British terms 'U' and 'non-U,' used to define upper-class and non-upper-class behavior. Bartholomew calls the yew tree the ultimate 'U' plant.) Smart and funny, it's the ideal guide for anyone who has ever felt insecure about underplantings. The book covers everything from the top Yew roses ('Comte or Comtesse d'Anywhere and Souvenir d'Anything') to why Yew vegetable gardens contain no vegetables. The book is Anglo-centric, but then again, so are most garden snobs."

An historical record, it also shows the extraordinary juxtaposition of old and new, characteristic of today. The richness and variety of these images, taken by the photographer of The Magic of Kew, will surprise and delight even the most seasoned traveler, for there is hardly ever an expected view of the City.

The Magic of Kew

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, rich in architectural and horticultural treasures, are among the most beloved of the world's gardens. Each year more than a million visitors explore the grounds and the greenhouses, seeking the beauty, the peace, the knowledge that this living laboratory and pleasure garden can give. One of the great attractions of Kew is the air of permanence that comes in large part from those architectural features that have survived the centuries, creating an oasis in a sea of change.James Bartholomew, a young Scottish-American, is perhaps the ideal photographer for Kew. At once self-taught and classic in his approach, he has spent three years compiling this timeless portrait. His photographs are carefully composed still-lifes, perceptive studies of historic buildings: the 1848 Palm House (now dismantled for restoration), the Temperate House, the splendid Pagoda. And of great trees: the whorled branches of a Norfolk Island pine, the roots of the beech at Rock Walk in Kew's Wakehurst Place gardens. Bartholomew uses Ansel Adams' Zone System for analyzing tonal range, and his photographs partake of the clarity and faithfulness of Adams' own.The Magic of Kew is an extraordinary folio of 100 beautifully realized images, bringing to us the famous and the little known in Kew, revealing a wealth of architectural detail as well as the nobility of trees and landscapes that have delighted generations of visitors. And now many of these images serve as memorials to great and ancient trees that are no more, trees destroyed by the terrible hurricane that so ravaged Kew in October of 1987.James Bartholomew was born in New York in 1960. He studied at the Parsons School of Design and at the New School for Social Research, and settled in England in 1984. His photographs have been exhibited in both the United States and in England.

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, rich in architectural and horticultural treasures, are among the most beloved of the world's gardens, and, strange as it seems, this is the first photographic portrait of that living laboratory and pleasure ground.

The Tower of London–fortress, palace, prison–has been witness to some of the greatest and saddest events in English history. Kings and Queens have lived and died (or been murdered) there; rebels have attacked it; thieves have stolen the Crown Jewels, which are kept there; and it has housed some of the most distinguished prisoners ever incarcerated, among them Samuel Pepys, William Penn, Sir Thomas More and Sir Walter Raleigh.In this lively and comprehensive guide, James Bartholomew takes the visitor through the Tower and all its mysteries–the buildings, the history, the ceremonies, the Crown Jewels, and even the ravens, without which legend tells us the Tower will fall. The book is beautifully illustrated with 90 of Bartholomew's photographs in full color, and clearly divided into sections for easy reference. The definitive guide to the Tower for visitors and armchair travelers alike.

Inside the Tower

The founding of the welfare state in the 1940s has been seen as the crowning achievement of modern British social history. In this controversial book, however, journalist James Bartholomew argues that it has undermined the very decency and kindness that first inspired it, causing thousands of people to live in deprivation and resulting in a generation of badly educated and dependent citizens. James Bartholomew is a leader writer and columnist for the Daily Telegraph. He lives in London.

Welfare states have spread across the globe, transforming modern civilization. But the take-over is often going badly. In Marseilles, armed drug gangs dominate the social housing estates. In America, an outstandingly wealthy country, 45 million people are dependent on food stamps. In Britain, the NHS has one of the worst records for cancer care in the advanced world. Many countries are collecting more than ever in taxes but managing to get deeper into debt because of their burgeoning welfare states. All around the world, culture is being damaged by welfare state dependency while governments become more and more like Big Brother, telling us what we must do.The twentieth century experienced an epochal war between capitalism and communism. Bartholomew argues that, out of the ashes of that conflict, the real winner has been neither communism nor capitalism. It has been welfare statism—the new, defining form of government of our age that has swept across the advanced world. Without any revolution or great theorist, welfare states are changing the nature of modern civilization. But in what ways? And what lessons can be learned before it is too late?James Bartholomew traveled around the world seeing how cultures and lives are being changed—seeing what is going wrong but also looking for countries where they are making better policy decisions. His book is an unparalleled investigation in which he tells the story of the people and places he visited. He takes the reader on a journey, which includes burnt-out cars in France, a tough-minded benefits office in Singapore and innovative hospitals in Spain.
