Taking her unique perspective on gardening and applying it both to historical representations and present-day living artworks, Lucy Gent provides a comprehensive look at planting throughout the ages and around the world. From the achievements of the ancient Greeks and Romans to today's small gardens, the author provides a clear explanation of the principles of design and describes the various styles, scientific advances, and cultural trends. With a special section on famous designers such as Beatrix Farrand and artist-gardeners such as Monet, plus original plans, sketches, and paintings of some of the most beautiful plantings in the world, this color-filled photo essay is a feast for the senses.

Renaissance Bodies is a unique collection of views on the ways in which the human image has been represented in the arts and literature of English Renaissance society. The subjects discussed range from high art to popular culture – from portraits of Elizabeth I to polemical prints mocking religious fanaticism – and include miniatures, manners, anatomy, drama and architectural patronage. The authors, art historians and literary critics, reflect diverse critical viewpoints, and the 78 illustrations present a fascinating exhibition of the often strange and haunting images of the period. With essays by John Peacock, Elizabeth Honig, Andrew and Catherine Belsey, Jonathan Sawday, Susan Wiseman, Ellen Chirelstein, Tamsyn Williams, Anna Bryson, Maurice Howard and Nigel Llewellyn. "The whole book ... presents a mirror of contemporary concerns with power, the merits and demerits of individualism, sex-roles, 'selves', the meaning of community and (even) conspicuous consumption."—The Observer
