Living in a barn requires a sense of adventure, but once experienced it becomes an addictive way of life, according to the owners of some of these converted barns. Now, in place of cows, horses, fodder or hops, the new occupants of the barns are people who have painstakingly restored a valuable part of the British countryside. Many are artists or architects whose imaginations have been challenged by the potential of a medieval monastic barn, Palladian stable block or towering hopkiln. 24 barns are featured, accompanied by colour photographs showing both the exteriors and interiors, and all were once empty, threatened or derelict. Salvaged by imaginative conversions that respect their agricultural past and dominant architectural features, the barns have been transformed into a variety of comfortable and surprisingly practical homes. Kate Corbett-Winder is the author of "Vogue More Cash than Dash", "Vogue Even More Dash Than Cash" and "Laura Ashley Living Rooms".

Marco Pierre White has risen to be a firm figure in the world of "haute cuisine". Since he opened "Harvey's" restaurant in south-west London in 1987, he has become the most talked-about cook in Britain, the youngest man ever to win the coveted third Michelin "rosette", and almost equally renowned for the upheavals in his private life. In 1992, he opened "The Canteen" in Chelsea Harbour, and in autumn 1993 opened "The Restaurant" in Knightsbridge, which have one and three stars respectively in the Michelin ratings. Yet behind the hype, this text reveals there is a professional, dedicated chef of great talent. His mastery is based on the solid foundations of French classical cuisine, but it is informed by a modern feeling for the importance of ingredients of the highest quality and freshness, by a receptivity to influences around the world, by simplicity and profound originality. Above all, the book aims to make accessible the secrets of his success to all amateur cooks, and contains tips based on his incomparable feeling for the potential in natural foods from land and sea.

The first biography of the seminal band that was the catalyst for the resurgence of British pop in the 1990s. In The Stone Roses, John Robb observes: ``The Roses were the legendary band of the late 1980s. They changed British pop by putting a cool street band back into the mainstream; they made pop and guitars cool again. When they put out `Fool's Gold,' they virtually invented the perfect 1990s pop record.'' The book looks back to where the band came from, their roots in post-punk youth culture, and their seizing of the moment in the post-acid-house fallout as they took first Manchester, and then Britain, on a swift, swaggering pop adventure that promised so much, yet ultimately burned out. John Robb looks at the glorious late 1980's rush of Manchester street life that was soundtracked by the Roses and copied by a nation. Just as importantly, he examines the impact on the lives and tastes of Britain's youth and the hundreds of bands that followed in the wake of this astonishingly influential band. 256 pp 6 x 9 18 b/w photos
