Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is a
stunning illustrated biography of style and screen legend Audrey
Hepburn, from internationally renowned fashion illustrator Megan
Hess. From Sabrina to Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn is
renowned for her unforgettable film roles and fashion looks, but
less well known is her fascinating life, including her childhood in
Nazi-occupied Holland and her tireless dedication to helping those
less fortunate than herself. In this book, Megan's beautiful
illustrations follow Hepburn through three distinct chapters: her
early life in World War II Europe, dreaming of becoming a
ballerina; her ingenue years as the rising star of Hollywood and
her incredible fashion partnership with Hubert de Givenchy; and her
private life beyond the silver screen, building a legacy through
her humanitarian work. Elegantly enclosed by a hardback cover and
ribbon, Audrey Hepburn: The Illustrated World of a Fashion Icon is
a beautiful celebration of a woman whose life was as remarkable as
the clothes she wore and the movies she starred in, with every
surprising detail and iconic outfit brought to life on the page by
the expert hand of Megan Hess.
'Simply wonderful.' - BEN FOGLE 'Kate's book has the warmth and
calming effect of a log fire and a glass of wine. Unknit your brow
and let go. It's a treat.' - GARETH MALONE 'Kate Humble pours her
enviable knowledge into attainable goals. It's a winning
combination and the prize - a life in balance with nature - is
definitely worth claiming.' - LUCY SIEGLE 'As ever, where Kate
leads, I follow. She has made me reassess and reset.' - DAN SNOW
'Kate Humble's new book is a lesson in moving on from a tragedy and
finding our place in the world' - WOMAN & HOME 'A Year of
Living Simply is timely, given that the pandemic has forced most of
us, in some way to simplify our lives, whether we planned to or
not. Kate wrote it before any of us were aware of the upcoming
crisis, but it captures the current moment perfectly... It's not
necessarily a "how to" book, more of a "why not try?" approach.' -
FRANCESCA BABB, MAIL ON SUNDAY YOU 'What I particularly love is her
philosophy for happiness, which is the subject of her new book, A
Year of Living Simply. The clue is in the title. Remember the
basics. Instead of barging through the day on autopilot, really
stop to think about the tiniest little things that added a moment
of joy. No, of course stopping and smelling the flowers won't cure
all our ills and woes. But taking the time to savour the things
that bring pleasure, really being in that moment and appreciating
it, can remind you that most days have moments that buoy your
mood.' - JO ELVIN, MAIL ON SUNDAY YOU If there is one thing that
most of us aspire to, it is, simply, to be happy. And yet attaining
happiness has become, it appears, anything but simple. Having stuff
- The Latest, The Newest, The Best Yet - is all too often peddled
as the sure fire route to happiness. So why then, in our
consumer-driven society, is depression, stress and anxiety ever
more common, affecting every strata of society and every age, even,
worryingly, the very young? Why is it, when we have so much, that
many of us still feel we are missing something and the rush of
pleasure when we buy something new turns so quickly into a feeling
of emptiness, or purposelessness, or guilt? So what is the route to
real, deep, long lasting happiness? Could it be that our lives have
just become overly crowded, that we've lost sight of the things -
the simple things - that give a sense of achievement, a feeling of
joy or excitement? That make us happy. Do we need to take a step
back, reprioritise? Do we need to make our lives more simple? Kate
Humble's fresh and frank exploration of a stripped-back approach to
life is uplifting, engaging and inspiring - and will help us all
find balance and happiness every day.
*** 'Warm, thought-provoking and honest.' - Victoria Hislop
'Clever, emotionally intelligent, revelling in style without making
us yearn to shop.' - The Times 'Self-deprecating and stylish, this
is sure to become a classic.' - Vanity Fair 'Thoughtful, wry and
candid.' - Mail on Sunday 'A must-read memoir for even those beyond
the fashion set.' - Evening Standard 'It's funny, honest and in
typical Shulman style mixes high and low effortlessly. We don't
know many people who can write about bras, Donald Tusk and
Madeleine Albright all in the same sentence.' - A Little Bird
'Scintillating reading.' - The Spectator 'Alexandra Shulman's style
is unaffected, immediate and hilariously dry. She's brilliant at
observing everyday feelings in a joy-sparking turn of phrase.' -
Helena Bonham Carter - 'Clothes... and other things that matter is
a book not only about clothes but about the way we live our lives.
From childhood onwards, the way we dress is a result of our
personal history. In a mix of memoir, fashion history and social
observation I am writing about the person our clothes allows us to
be and sometimes the person they turn us into.' - Alexandra Shulman
In Clothes... and other things that matter, Alexandra Shulman
delves into her own life to look at the emotions, ambitions,
expectations and meanings behind the way we dress. From the bra to
the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, the slip dress to the
suit, she explores their meaning in women's lives and how our
wardrobes intersect with the larger world - the career ladder,
motherhood, romance, sexual identity, ambition, failure, body image
and celebrity. By turns funny, refreshingly self-deprecating and
often very moving, this startlingly honest memoir from the
ex-Editor of British Vogue will encourage women of all ages to
consider what their own clothes mean to them, the life they live in
them and the stories they tell.

An in-depth, full-color, step-by-step guide to the new golf swing
that has taken the PGA Tour by storm
The traditional golf swing requires a level of coordination that
few golfers have. So it's no surprise that, despite huge advances
in club and ball technology, the average golf handicap in America
has dropped by only one stroke since 1990. Maverick golf
instructors Michael Bennett and Andy Plummer spent a decade
researching the swing, eventually combining physiology and physics
to create a method they dubbed the "Stack and Tilt." The result?
Big-name pros like Mike Weir, Tommy Armour III, and Aaron Baddeley
are already converts, and Bennett and Plummer are now two of the
most soughtafter swing coaches in the game.
Making these breakthroughs available to everyone, "The Stack and
Tilt Swing" is a handsome, fully illustrated, complete course,
packed with more than two hundred full-color photographs that make
it easy for golfers at all levels to adopt this radical yet simple
approach. Analyzing why the traditional swing won't work for most
golfers, the authors explain the importance of keeping the upper
body stacked over the lower body, while the spine tilts toward the
target during the backswing, greatly reducing the inconsistencies
created by the old-fashioned approach. Enhanced with practice
routines, a troubleshooting list, test cases, and point-by-point
assistance, this is the breakthrough guide to golf's hot new secret
weapon.
We know that they prayed, sang, and wore long robes, but what was
it really like to be a monk? Though monastic living may seem
unimaginable to us moderns, it has relevance for today. This book
illuminates the day-to-day of medieval European monasticism,
showing how you can apply the principles of monastic living, like
finding balance and peace, to your life. With wit and insight,
medievalist and podcaster Daniele Cybulskie dives into the history
of monasticism in each chapter and then reveals applications for
today, such as the benefits of healthy eating, streamlining
routines, gardening, and helping others. She shares how monks
authentically embraced their spiritual calling, and were also down
to earth: they wrote complaints about being cold in the manuscripts
they copied, made beer and wine, and even kept bees. How to Live
Like a Monk features original illustrations by Anna Lobanova, as
well as more than eighty colour reproductions from medieval
manuscripts. It is for anyone interested in the Middle Ages and
those seeking inspiration for how to live a full life, even when
we're confined to the cloister of our homes.
