It is a landmark publication and arguably the first book to properly assess British furniture design through the whole of the Victorian era. It goes further than any book has attempted before by filling in important research particular for the latter half of the century. Christopher Payne considers each decade, adding important new research and building a huge archive of text and images.
Nature at Heart For a better world Gérard Bertrand Gérard Bertrand decided he wished to relate his life journey and share his commitment to nature. Drawing on his experience as both a wine grower and a business leader, he demonstrates how the harmony of ecosystems, respect for nature and the preservation of living soils can be the pillars of a new paradigm, creating the conditions for a more balanced life and bringing hope for future generations. In this book, he also analyzes how society is changing, and invites the reader to put fear aside and “dare” – in spite of the prevailing climate – to practice altruism, brotherhood, and an opening of the heart.
The book contains in excess of 1000 color photographs and also an important compendium of makers names and details.
