A photographic celebration of British wildlife and the country way of life.\nA Year in the Country is a book about the beauty of the British countryside, featuring stunning photography from some of Britain’s greatest wildlife photographers. 
The book will follow the changes in nature throughout the year and revel in the joy of the British countryside. Each season presents its own gifts to the nature lover: from the trumpeting of wild daffodils in spring to the hypnotic dive and twist of starlings gathering over roosting sites in autumn. The majesty of British wildlife is captured in stunning images that evoke a timeless country existence. 
Part celebration of nature, part nostalgia for a slower pace of life, this book will make a stunning gift. An escape from everyday life, A Year in the Country transports its audience to a world where the sun shines and the grass is always greener.

Country Living magazine is known for its range of decorating and design books, and this latest volume by Hueston (Country Living's Guide to the Best Flea Markets) focuses on the popular cottage style. Conjuring up images of English chintz, patchwork quilts, slipcovers and easy comfortable living, the style can be applied anywhere, from rooms in New York apartments or California bungalows to coastal retreats and holiday homes. Lavishly illustrated with carefully captioned full-color photographs throughout, the volume is divided into six sections covering the four major living areas (living rooms, kitchens and dining areas, bedrooms, and bathrooms) before concluding with a chapter of quick fixes (an assortment of easy decorating ideas ranging from vintage tablecloths to canning jars as flower vases). Each main area is described, with examples of the cottage feel given and suggestions made for conveying its flavor to fit various scenarios. Scattered throughout are individual pages covering "Quintessential Cottage" ranging from window seats to Dutch doors and cast-iron bed frames that harken to a bygone age. With relatively little text, this slim book relies on the photos and their captions to explain each design element, which it accomplishes with modest success.

Following the successful Bathrooms and Living Rooms, Country Living's EASY TRANSFORMATIONS series presents its third, beautiful entry: a guide to turning those small but awkward spaces into appealing, cozy corners. Every home has its tiny room, oddly shaped hallway, empty landing, or other difficult-to-decorate area. As the array of photographs shows, Country Living offers dozens of innovative approaches to solving the problem. Every design idea will quickly make that neglected space a model of decorative style for the entire home. The topics so richly covered include Welcoming in Style, Themes and Collections, Forgotten Spaces, Perfecting Your Palette, Creating Nooks and Crannies in any Room, Making Spaces Work, and Crafting Corners for Pets. Some of the ideas are as simple as varying the sizes and heights of objects in a display for visual interest. Other concepts will help free home decorators from old design tenets and bring some fresh air into the décor, such as creatively mixing formal and informal elements or adding unusual pieces. There are specific suggestions on storage and seating, and for strategically repeating colors and themes. Smart tips and easy, fun-to-do projects help jump-start the transformation, while detailed captions for the photos and many sidebars reveal exactly how the transformation was accomplished.
