Описание: Global warming means that our coastlines change and areas of the world disappear; ecosystems are unbalanced; climate zones shift; and that animal and plant life disappear. The photographs in this book illustrate the beauty of the world`s carefully balanced ecosystems, and the people whose traditional way of life is in tune with nature.
Описание: Discover hidden monsters and transform serpents, chimeras, dragons and gargoyles into otherworldly beings in this coloring book inspired by grotesque ornament prints from the 16th and 17th centuries. Animals become alternately fearsome or playful as you color in these delicate designs from the imaginative minds of artists working in the Age of Exploration. The late-15th-century discovery of ancient Roman ruins was deeply influential to artists and designers, who disseminated their grotesque motifs, through drawings, prints and patterns in architecture, metalwork, textiles and ceramics. Suddenly, creatures, fearsome or playful, graceful or rigid, appeared in sinuous designs for locks, ewers, rings, tapestries, stained glass and more. These intimately scaled works, often measuring just a few inches, are at times erotically charged and at others moralizing. In June 2016, Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum mounts the exhibition "Fragile Beasts," highlighting rarely seen grotesque works on paper from the museum's permanent collection, as well as several books from the Smithsonian Design Library's rare book collection. Now, never before published in this form, they are redrawn by designer Magali An Berthon in the pages of a coloring book.

Описание: Since opening its doors in 1930, the British Ambassadors Residence has been considered the premier diplomatic address in Washington, D.C. A cross between an English country house and a neo- Palladian plantation, the Residence is a compelling but often overlooked example of the work of architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. His only building in the United States, its majestic interiors and gardens in the English style have been making their mark on Washingtons social and political elite for over eighty years. In this book Anthony Seldon and Daniel Collings explore both the genius of Lutyens design and the rich history of Anglo-American relations that has unfolded within its walls. Through significant world events, and the skill of successive ambassadors, this building became the forum that helped forge and then embody the special relationship between the two countries. From Winston Churchills rambunctious visits during the Second World War, to the dark days of Vietnam, and the rejuvenation of the relationship during the Thatcher/Reagan period, this book takes the reader deep behind the scenes. The end result is an intimate and fascinating history, featuring previously untold stories about visiting royalty, Presidents, Prime Ministers, and even the Beatles.
