Chinese ceramics and their glazes have delighted and enthralled the
world for centuries. In this book, Nigel Wood traces the
development of Chinese glazes from the Bronze Age to the present
day. He carefully describes how Chinese glazes were made, and how
they evolved over some 3000 years of continuous production. He
provides analyses and shows how their superb qualities can be
reproduced with common Western raw materials. The book is lavishly
illustrated with hundreds of colour plates of Chinese potters and
Chinese kilns.

As Sandra Sigman learned while living in Paris in her twenties, the
French consider each floral arrangement a unique work of art filled
with passion, movement, texture, and surprise. In French Blooms,
Sigman shares the distinct design principles she learned from her
favorite Parisian florist, and offers tutorials, with images and
instructions for creating French-inspired arrangements for
different areas of the home. Projects include a mantle display in
Ironstone gravy boats, compote-style dining room arrangements,
powder room posies, and beribboned hand-tied bouquets. With
chapters on choosing the right containers from vintage stoneware
crocks to baskets and white ceramic footed vases and flower care
and tools, along with lush photographs, many taken in Paris,
Normandy, and Provence, this book is both inspirational and
practical. It s also a love letter to France from Parisian
sophistication to the simple grace of provincial life.

Forget your stresses and sink into a good night's sleep with this
beautiful, meditative colouring book. Sleep is the universal
panacea for all manner of ills, but when the weight of the day is
heavy on your shoulders, it can be elusive. Colouring is known to
help the brain enter a meditative state, reducing stress and
anxiety and leading to feelings of calm relaxation, in turn aiding
restful sleep. The beautiful artwork in this book will enhance your
wellbeing by helping you to become more mindful - to be 'in the
moment' as you choose soothing colours and focus on the delicate
lines, what you're doing here and now, rather than worrying about
what happened at work or any other anxieties. Free your mind and
enjoy the process - you may well surprise yourself with the
results. Also available: * The Wellbeing Colouring Book: Calm
