Edited by Stefan Buczacki, best known for his appearances on Radio 4's "Gardeners' Question Time", this handbook picks up on the essentials that all gardeners need to know to make better, more beautiful gardens. These include advice on choosing plants, how to grow and look after them, with ideas for planting plans, especially for difficult areas. Special emphasis is placed on organic and "green" gardening techniques, and on encouraging butterflies and other natural pollinators into the garden. The book also includes advice on container gardening, from hanging baskets and patio tubs to gro-bags.

This beautiful book chronicles the fascinating history of sainthood and the lives of over 300 saints. A concise introduction outlines the religious and social history of Christian saints from stigmata and martyrdom to feast days and patron saints. Then, the illustrated encyclopedia outlines the work of each saint, listed in chronological order, from the Apostles and early medieval martyrs, through to 21st-century saints. Well known saints such as St Francis of Assisi and St Teresa of Avila sit alongside 1st-century martyrs and African saints of the 19th century. Special themed pages explore subjects such as Celtic Saints, the Holy Family, and Saints in Art. Illustrated with over 500 images, this expert guide will inform every reader interested in learning more about Christianity and the lives of the saints.

This book opens with a short history of shoes—an introductory essay that traces the development from prehistoric times through to today. This introduction is illustrated using museum shots of historic shoes and will prove a useful prequel to the banquet of footwear that follows.
The bulk of the book looks at the great designers of the post World War II era, concentrating on the big names of today—Charles Jourdan, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Fratelli Rosetti, Sergio Rossi, Walter Steiger, Jimmy Choo, Roberto Cavalli—while at the same time allowing the outrageous and inspirational—Westwood, Galliano, and fashion school students—to show the other; more outrageous end of the market.
If nothing else, this book will allow the reader to learn why fans like Madonna say “Manolo Blahnik’s shoes are as good as sex, but they last longer.”

Handbags, not quite as we know them today, go back a long way. In 1500 BC, the Assyrians and Babylonians used richly embroidered bags for religious ceremonies; the ancient Persians had small pouches in which to carry their money; and the Egyptian hieroglyphs depict pouches carried around the waist. Handbags as we know them have been essential to fashion history since the 18th century when they were called reticules. Women had a different bag for every occasion. By the 1900 “handbags” were in use—by men—and soon women were using them.
By the 1920s though, a revolution in fashion had taken place and where once bags were always expected to match the costume they were worn with, they became a symbol of independence. With the 1950s came the rise of important well established designer houses such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes. The colorful 1960s saw a breakdown of the old notions of classical forms and tradition, and the subsequent rise of a youth culture has given our modern world a variety of design, material and decoration, bringing an extraordinary beauty and high status to this ever important fashion accessory.

<div> Watches are more than miniature marvels of engineering; indeed, they are more than just collectibles: they are items of jewelry that command huge prices and make fashion statements about the wearers.&#160; As individual as other accessories such as handbags and shoes, they have been a focus of attention ever since they reached a larger market. In&#160;Watches:&#160; Eye on theTime, designer Tessa Paul examines the history of the watch concentrating on the last half of the 20th and beginning of the&#160;21st centuries. Each of the ten chapters includes spreads on major watchmakers or recognized high-end&#160; retailers-Rolex,Tissot,Tag-Heuer, Cartier, Swatch-as well as many images of watches throughout the decades. </div>
