Описание: "Kirstie's Homemade Home is about a journey I made into a world which I thought I knew, but didn't. It's a world full of dedicated and talented people in this country who make beautiful things, both traditional and modern, that support the wonderful crafting heritage we have in the UK. If, like me, you have ever been caught at a car boot sale or antiques market and can't keep control of your purse, or if you're curious and want to have a rummage for the first time, then this book is for you.

It's my take and experience of a world which is as vast and varied as you can possibly imagine. It's about women and men who are ensuring that handmade British things are here to stay. And it's packed with their expert advice on creating your own homemade home.

If you enjoyed the TV series, then the book takes it one step further with my advice on interior decor, plus the shops and websites that have transformed my life. If you didn't see the show, then welcome to my world. This is what I think is fun for the whole family and hugely informative.

It's a book for mothers and daughters, and, trust me, sons. If you're looking for a new hobby, there is nothing more manly than blacksmithing or glassblowing, and few projects more satisfying than flower arranging or mini cake decoration. (You'll soon discover that it's just as much fun to decorate cakes as it is to eat them).

Or if you just want a moment to yourself and something lovely to look at, then this book will not disappoint. Try it - you have nothing to lose but your flatpack furniture!"

Описание: A group of strangers risk death along the New York State Thruway to save a soldier from a burning truck. The true story, as told by football legend Jim Brown, of how the number 44 rose to prominence at Syracuse University. The beautiful yet tragic connection between Vice President Joseph Biden and Syracuse. The impossible account of how Eric Carle, one of the world’s great children’s authors, found his way to a childhood friend through a photograph taken in Syracuse more than eighty years ago.All these tales can be found in The Soul of Central New York, a collection of columns by Sean Kirst that spans almost a quarter-century. During his long career as a writer for the Syracuse Post-Standard, Kirst won some of the most prestigious honors in journalism, including the Ernie Pyle Award, given annually to one American writer who best captures the hopes and dreams of everyday Americans.For Kirst, his canvas is Syracuse, an upstate city of staggering beauty and profound struggle. In this book, readers will find a nuanced explanation of how Syracuse is intertwined with the spiritual roots of the Six Nations, as well as a soliloquy from a grieving father whose son was lost to violence on the streets. In these emotional contradictions—in the resilience, love, and heartbreak of its people—Kirst offers a vivid portrait of his city and, in the end, gives readers hope.
