The June Brief 2019

The Rising Tide The Tiny Pacific Nations at the Forefront of Global Change Tom Bamforth

Draft Cover

Vanuatu. The Cook Islands. The Philippines. The names evoke white-sand beaches, swaying palms and lazy holidays. But in reality, these idyllic places are tropical maelstroms of global realpolitik, caught in a constant tussle between the world’s superpowers. Collectively the Pacific nations, which form one third of the globe’s surface area, are one of the most strategically important regions in the world – for military might, for energy security and geopolitical borders. Even more importantly, these nations are at the frontline of climate change, as rising sea levels put their very existence at stake. Using his extensive personal experience in the Pacific, Tom Bamforth shows us at a human level the environmental crisis and political and social realities that threaten the lives and cultures of the people of these island nations. In fact, the very existence of the nations themselves is at stake. From uprisings in New Caledonia to tsunamis in Tonga and coups in Fiji, Tom examines the devastating effects of climate change and the continuing legacy of nuclear testing, natural disasters and colonial rule. This is the story of an emergency going on right now – this is a history of the present. Publication

With humour and insight, Tom Bamforth presents both an insider's and an outsider's view of life in the Pacific, rendered in vivid detail and colour. Gripping and beautifully written, The Rising Tide masterfully weaves the stories of people at the forefront of global change around a broader narrative of political scheming, culture, diplomacy and identity.

remake it for the better. Economist Jason Murphy looks at the huge incentive systems we take for granted – like rewards and punishments, or price – and turns them on their head. Many of the most powerful incentives in our daily lives are accidental, and invisible even to those who designed them. Some are tame – like board games – and some are most definitely not. Whether it’s bounties for criminals, Candy Crush, Instagrammable meals or the Nobel Prize, incentives regularly fail and often have unintended consequences that can have very global effects. In lively, entertaining prose, Murphy takes a fascinating deep dive into history, culture and our everyday lives to show us what we can learn from incentives to use (or lose) in our daily lives.

Author Details Jason Murphy is an economist who has worked at the Australian Treasury, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Nauru, and the Australian Financial Review. He writes regularly for news.com.au and Crikey, blogs at thomasthethinkengine.com and has a passion for bringing economics into the everyday world.

Key Information • • • • • • • •

Murphy has an established audience on news.com.au, where he regularly reaches over 100,000 readers for his articles. Murphy also has a weekly Crikey column, with an average of 80,000 readers each week, and own blog, with 6,000 unique hits/month; Twitter profile is 4,500 and growing. Murphy's writing is entertaining and highly readable, in the vein of Freakonomics. Broad appeal across both a traditional business readership and popular economics/science/history readership, e.g. readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Spencer, Dr Karl, David Hunt’s Girt. Huge marketing and publicity campaign lined up for release with interviews, extracts and reviews placed across national newspapers, TV and radio outlets. Print and advertising campaign on release. Influencer campaign planned for release with key endorsements. Scott Pape is a fan (he and Jason have shared mutual love on Twitter) and we will seek high-profile endorsements such as Pape and George Megalogenis pre-publication.

FORE WORD

Kit and J. R. take a break from tending the fire to play music with each other. A few years back, Kit made a vow that she would create something everyday. “The act of creation,

in itself, is enough, because when I’m creating, I’m my fullest self, and that’s what makes me wake up every morning to greet the gold light of day.”

And now this is a movement. People heard our calls, they listened to our musings. Today, we are part of a rumble, an uprising that will soon explode. Modern life as it’s “supposed to be” has been deconstructed. Now, we survey the raw materials that remain. We long to utilize our resources more responsibly.

It’s an exciting time to be alive. This community is seeking out alternatives to the debt-work-consume cycle that rules life in the new millennium. We live out of vehicles to have time to chase our passions. We choose to live on less. Off the grid of normalcy we venture, hoping in our quest to construct a new normal. Out on our own terms, we’re discovering a better, saner way to live. This search isn’t anything new. It’s a continuation of something so much older than any of us. There have always been travelers and seekers, in every culture, from every walk of life. They, too, wandered the open roads. Those young idealists spotted glimmers of hope, forged paths to a saner life. Now, we’ve been handed their vision. It is our duty to continue their search.

If you want to survive in the winter, get yourself a Snow Peak Folding Torch to help get the fire started.” Christina’s journals: “We’re super into travel journals, and we love looking back at them over time. Christina illustrates the trip we’re on and documents the people we meet. We also tape the treasures we find inside so we have some souvenirs.” Coloring books and teddy bears: “This helps us get through any trip as the young ones entertain themselves in the back.”

“‘Always hold fast to the present.

Every situation, indeed every moment, is of infinite value, for it is the representative of a whole eternity.” johann wolfgang von goethe

Definition of Mindfulness 1. The quality or state of being mindful. 2. The practice of maintaining a nonjudgmental state of heightened or complete awareness of one’s thoughts, emotions or experiences on a momentto-moment basis; also such a state of awareness.

Mindfulness: a soothing concoction of attention, awareness, curiosity and openness, blended with love and a lightness of spirit, and served with a smile.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember that there is only one

important time and it is Now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion.â&#x20AC;? from the three questions, by leo tolstoy

Mindfulness challenges us to wake up, to see and appreciate the joy, to experience each second vividly, rather than sleepwalking through existence. Be the captain of the ship and take the helm; master yourself and you will master mindfulness.

Home and Family

“Mindfulness is the doorway to live in harmony with the Universe.” amit ray

Manifest Harmony Consider where your focus lies. It’s easy to get caught up in the things that don’t matter, to wander from the path of peace. Arguments can escalate at the drop of a hat and become much bigger if we put our time and energy into them. Switch your focus and know that all things pass. Moods change, emotions ebb and fall, night follows day and the wheel keeps turning.

The Heart of a Boy Celebrating the Strength and Spirit of Boyhood Kate T Parker From Kate T. Parker, bestselling author and photographer ofStrong Is the New Pretty (329,000 copies in print), a photographic celebration of what makes a boy, with portraits and quotations from today's boys, ages 5–18. In her international bestseller Strong Is the New Pretty (with 329,000 copies in print), the photographer Kate T. Parker changed the way we see girls by showing us their truest selves – fearless, messy, wild, stubborn, proud. Now it’s time to talk about our boys. Prompted by the #metoo movement, bullying, and other toxic behaviour, there’s an inational conversation going on about what defines masculinity and how to raise sons to become good people. And Kate Parker is joining in by turning her lens to boys. The result is possibly even more moving, more eloquent, more surprising than Strong.

The Heart of a Boy is a deeply felt celebration of boyhood as it’s etched in the faces and bodies of dozens of boys, ages 5 to 18. There’s the pensive look of a skateboarder caught in a moment between rides. The years of dedication in a ballet dancer’s poise. The love of a younger brother hugging his older brother. The unself-conscious joy of a goofy grin with a missing tooth. The casual intimacy of two friends at a lemonade stand. The shyness of a lone boy and his model boat. The intensity in a football huddle. The proud, challenging gaze of a boy bald from alopecia – and the same kind of gaze, but wreathed in tenderness, of a boy a few years younger with flowing, almost waist-length hair. There are guitarists, fencers, wrestlers, star-gazers, a pilot – it’s the world of our sons, in all their amazing variety and difference. The photographs feel spontaneous, direct, and with so much eye contact between the viewed and the viewer that it’s impossible to turn away. And throughout, words from the boys themselves enrich every photo. What a gift for boys and anyone who is raising them.

Author Details Kate T. Parker is a mother, wife, former collegiate soccer player, Ironman, and professional photographer who shoots both fine art projects and commercial work for clients across North America. HerStrong Is the New Prett y photo series has led to collaborations with brands like Athleta, Kellogg’s, Oxygen, and Girls on the Run. The project has also inspired Kate to launch a philanthropic arm of Strong Is the New Pretty, partnering with organisations that invest in girls’ health and education. When she’s not photographing, she can be found coaching her daughters’ soccer teams. She lives with her family in Atlanta, Georgia.

There's a national conversation happening about masculinity and how best to raise our sons. Publications from the New Yorker ("How to Raise a Boy") to Time Magazine ("How to Raise a Sweet Son in an Era of Angry Men") to the New York Times ("The Boys Are Not All Right") are posing the question about how to raise our sons to become good people. Kate T. Parker's view of boys will be embraced by parents, teachers, coaches, counsellors, and boys themselves, as she celebrates all that makes a boy who he is. She has a gift for capturing a child's spirit in her portraits, and for showcasing children's true selves in photos and their words. Kate T. Parker celebrated girls and all the varied ways they show strength, and readers of all ages embraced her message and her beautiful photographs; Strong Is the New Pretty reached 260,000 copies in print worldwide within its first year of publication. This book will appeal to parents as a positive celebration of boyhood and to boys who will see themselves, and who they might be, in these portraits and stories.

I vant a vanta

H Here’s how Vantablack actually works. When a photon hits a Vantablack surface, instead of being reflected, it becomes trapped between the carbon nanotubes. It bounces around in there for a bit before being absorbed and dissipating as heat.

ow dark is dark? How dark can something get? I’m not talking about the sort of jokes that leave you feeling uneasy. I’m talking about the darkest substances on Earth, those which absorb the most light without reflecting anything back. The good people at Surrey NanoSystems have created a chemical called Vantablack (Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotube Arrays) which absorbs up to 99.965% of radiation in the visible light spectrum. Ten thousand of these nanotubes of carbon, side to side, would be as wide as a human hair! That’s dark. But amazingly, it’s only a fraction better than the black feathers on a male superb bird of paradise. They absorb 99.95% of light.

o biggie, but just quietly, right at the top we’re about to debut an entirely new type of puzzle! Fresh from the mind of maths wiz and good mate Sean Gardiner, allow me to introduce ... the Syndesis. The fancy name describes the paired connections used in our next puzzle, as well as referencing firing neurons by way of synapsis, and the Greek word for logic. Nifty, eh? How do they work? The real beauty is their elegant simplicity. Enter the numbers 1 to 9 into each 3 × 3 grid so that each circled number is the result of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing the two numbers in the cells it touches. To ease you into this world-first new puzzle, I’ve provided part of the answer for you. But don’t get too complacent — my generosity will gradually diminish as we count down! You’ll see more of these puzzles throughout the book and — who knows? — maybe elsewhere in the future. Whatever the case, you saw them here first. A worthy addition to our Top 100! Have fun.

Signs from Spirit

Signs From Departed Loved Ones We can all learn to notice signs from Spirit. Just like a friend who sends an emoji (smiley face) to your mobile phone to say ‘ hello’, ‘smile’, or ‘I’m thinking of you’, our departed loved ones say ‘ hi’ or ‘I’m here’ using our memories, mother nature, uncanny events, songs, feelings or even words from a stranger to deliver their message. 23

Keepsake letters, cards and photographs can also magically appear to deliver reassurance, comfort and love from the other side. -Mitchell

Chocolate Brownies Two years ago, seventeen-year-old Veronica’s Nanna passed unexpectedly in her sleep. Two weeks after the funeral, Veronica and her mum arrived at her Nanna’s house. With heavy hearts, they set about tagging the contents of her home as ‘ keep’ or ‘donate’. ‘Mum assigned me Nanny’s kitchen. She said sorting through the cupboards, utensils, appliances and cookbooks would help me relive all the happy cooking memories Nanny and I created together.’ As Veronica unplugged her Nanna’s Kenwood Chef mixer, a flood of tears washed down her cheeks. As if triggered by Veronica’s grief, her Nanna’s radio burst into song singing, ‘You are the dancing queen Young and sweet Only seventeen.’

‘It was so weird I stopped crying,’ said Veronica. ‘Nanny was a foodie long before it was fashionable to be one. As a joke one Christmas, I bought her a CD called Cooking Songs. She loved it so much she dedicated a recipe to each song on the album. Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen’ was her chocolate brownie baking song.’ Veronica turned up the volume. As she did, her Nanna’s cookbooks escaped their book ends and slapped down on the kitchen bench like a line of dominos.

Signs from Spirit

‘One piece of paper escaped the pile and floated down onto the floor. When I picked it up, there in Nanny’s handwriting was her well-guarded secret chocolate brownie recipe.’ Veronica was so excited she hugged the recipe whispering, ‘Thank you, Nanny.’ At that moment, treasured memories of baking with her Nanna flashed back. Veronica was in her Nanna’s kitchen all over again. ‘Dancing Queen’ was playing, and the smell of chocolate brownies baking in the oven filled her with warmth and love. Even I could smell the brownies as Veronica’s Nanna asked me to deliver one last message before the reading finished.

‘Your Nanny says she couldn’t go without saying goodbye or passing on her secret chocolate brownie recipe to you.’

‘Invite your loved one to send a sign you will easily recognise. You may not receive one right away, but trust that when the time is right for both worlds, a sign will appear.’

Mitchell Coombes

Signs from Spirit will always light the best way forward. -Mitchell

In Eve, It’s Extortion, Al Wheeler is under pressure to crack a big case. Commissioner Lavers sends him to investigate the hit-and-run murder of a “no-good” lush called Henry Farnham. At least that’s what Henry was according to his widow. She’s a beautiful brunette who diligently looked after her husband, working hard and paying for everything ... including their hefty life insurance premiums. Is this a classic case of insurance fraud … or something more sinister?

Author Details Alan Geoffrey Yates (aka Carter Brown) was a literary phenomenon. Born in England, Yates married and settled in Australia in 1948. He worked as a film technician, a salesman and in public relations for Qantas before taking up writing full-time. The incredible early success of his Carter Brown novellas in the 1950s meant that he was contracted to produce one short novel and two long novels each and every month. In reality, he was truly prolific with 322 published Carter Brown novels. Carter Brown was a huge international success with reportedly 120 million books in print, second only to The Bible in terms of the number of languages they were translated into. There was a comic book series, the ‘Carter Brown Murder Mystery Hour’ on radio, three French films, a Japanese TV series, and a French literary award for ‘The most whiskies drunk in a single novel’. He was also rumoured to be one of John F. Kennedy’s favourite authors. Yates died in 1985 in Sydney. In 1997, he was posthumously awarded a Ned Kelly, Australia’s leading literary award for crime writing, for his lifelong contribution to the art.

Return of the cult classics! All new editions of one of our all-time bestselling authors. Two classic Al Wheeler novellas in one volume. Since the early 1950s, over 100 million Carter Brown novels have been sold around the world. Pacy, racy and cheesy – ‘nudge nudge wink wink’ fiction! ‘Pulp fiction, in its most innocent form, was written for eternally adolescent males. It featured guns, gals and wise-acre cops with a penchant for corny, hard-boiled dialogue. The almost astonishing thing about the Carter Brown stories is the fact that he could weave his way through this phalluscentric age of fiction without his work becoming misogynistic. Possibly this is because the author himself was incapable of such behaviour. I retain an almost childlike delight in these tales which take us back to times, perhaps best left behind, but which remind me of my own boy’s bedroom journey through the tangled web of my foolish, teenage years.’ Richard O’Brien

Sparks of Phoenix Najwa Zebian Sparks of Phoenix – Najwa Zebian’s third book of poetry – takes readers on a powerful journey of healing. As the phoenix emerges from its ashes, Zebian emerges ablaze in these pages, not only as a survivor of abuse, but as a teacher and healer for all those who have struggled to understand, reclaim, and rise above a history of pain. The book is divided into six chapters, and six stages of healing: Falling, Burning to Ashes, Sparks of Phoenix, Rising, Soaring, and finally, A New Chapter, which demonstrates a healthy response to new love as the result of authentic healing. With her characteristic vulnerability, courage, and softness, Zebian seeks to empower those who have been made to feel ashamed, silenced, or afraid; she urges them, through gentle advice and personal revelation, to raise their voices, rise up, and soar.

Author Details Najwa Zebian is a Lebanese-Canadian author, speaker, and educator. Her passion for language was evident from a young age, as she delved into Arabic poetry and novels. The search for a home – what Najwa describes as a place where the soul and heart feel at peace – was central to her early years. When she arrived in Canada at the age of sixteen, she felt unstable and adrift in an unfamiliar place. Nevertheless, she completed her education, and went on to become a teacher as well as a doctoral candidate in educational leadership. Her first students, a group of young refugees, led her back to her original passion: writing. She began to heal her sixteen-year-old self by writing to heal her students. Since self-publishing her first collection of poetry and prose in 2016, Najwa has become an inspiration to millions of people worldwide. Drawing on her own experiences of displacement, discrimination, and abuse, Najwa uses her words to encourage others to build a home within themselves; to live, love, and create fearlessly.

To heal from your pain now, you need to go all the way back to chapter one. To page one. To the beginning of how it all began. For every ending, there is a once upon a time. For every broken soul, there is a once upon a happy soul. For every phoenix soaring, there is a phoenix burning, turning to ashes, rising, then soaring.

I The Burning

Let me hand you the matches to ignite the glory within your soul. Let me be the one who burns to ashes as you spark in your darkest of nights. As you rise. As you soar.

He asks me: “What do you want from me?” I stare at him in silence with tears fighting to stay buried inside my eyes, with thoughts swirling in my mind like a hurricane. “What do you want from me?” he asks over and over. I am confused because I know and I don’t know.

You lit my soul on fire and told me to watch it burn.

How do you expect me to tell you what I want from you when I want every part of you? I want your heart to be my blanket every night. I want your soul to revive me every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Silly man, stop asking me what I want from you. I want you.

I see myself crumbling and my wings becoming weaker and weaker, but there is nothing I can do. It feels like there is poison running through my veins and I am letting go one breath at a time.

I used to look at those in pain and think they are choosing to be in pain until pain chose me and I understood the taste of feeling pain that you cannot control.

rhubarb crumble pots for the rhubarb 600g rhubarb, cut into 5-cm lengths (the size depends on the width and shape of your serving glasses or dishes) 1 vanilla pod, split lengthways, seeds scraped out juice of 1 orange, plus 3 strips of pared rind 120g caster sugar for the crumble topping 85g unsalted butter, diced 225g plain flour 100g soft light brown sugar for the bottom layer 80g vanilla mini marshmallows, chopped zest of ½ lemon, plus juice of 1 lemon 150g whipping cream 150g Greek yoghurt

Preheat the oven to 110°C/gas ¼. Arrange the rhubarb in an ovenproof dish large enough to hold it in a single layer. Add the vanilla pod and seeds and the strips of orange rind. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the rhubarb and then pour over the orange juice. Cover tightly with foil and cook in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from the oven and leave undisturbed in the dish until completely cold. Chill, reserving the juices separately. Increase the oven temperature to 190ºC/gas 5. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. For the crumble topping, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs, then mix in the sugar. Sprinkle with a little water and, using your hands, bring some of the mixture together to create small lumps (this way the finished topping will be more crunchy). Spread the mixture out on the baking tray and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven, break it up a little and leave on the tray to cool. (This will keep in an airtight container or in the freezer; any extra is handy to add to desserts.) Put the marshmallows and lemon zest and juice in a non-stick saucepan over a low heat to melt. Keep an eye on them and give them a stir to stop them scorching on the bottom of the pan. Once melted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Whip the cream slowly into soft peaks that just begin to hold their shape. Gently fold in the yoghurt followed by the melted, cooled marshmallow mixture (this stage can be done the day before). To assemble, swirl the reserved rhubarb juices through the marshmallow and yoghurt mixture and spoon into individual serving glasses or bowls. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set. To serve, add a layer of rhubarb to each and scatter over the crumble.

the forager’s table serves 6 crudités with wild garlic dip deep-fried courgette flowers with ricotta, honey & mint whole roasted mackerel with sorrel yoghurt new potatoes with fennel pollen pineapple weed granita

You would be forgiven for thinking that foraging in the city means looking through the ‘whoops’ section in Asda. However, through hosting our supper club and exploring the surrounding areas, we have found that our urban neighbourhood is bursting with gems: sweet pea flowers, nettles, cherry plums, blackberries, elderflower, purslane, figs and sloes, to name a few favourites. Throughout the seasons there are so many things to look out for. Laura grows the courgette flowers for this menu on her patio and we found the wild garlic near a disused railway. Pineapple weed is a bit rarer – it likes growing on farms and in cracks in brick buildings, it tastes like pineapple cubes from pick ‘n’ mix. Once you know what it is, you will spy it everywhere. N.B. Do seek advice from an experienced forager and ideally take him or her with you before you pick anything.

crudités with wild garlic dip 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained (or preferably from a jar) juice of 1½–2 lemons, to taste 1 tsp white wine vinegar 2 tbsp tahini 100ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve big handful of wild garlic leaves (about 30g), washed, dried and finely chopped, or 3 confit garlic cloves (see below), finely chopped fine sea salt selection of colourful seasonal vegetables, such as radishes and asparagus or cauliflower florets and purple carrots, to serve

Put the chickpeas, lemon juice, vinegar, tahini and oil in a blender and process everything together. Scrape into a bowl and stir in the chopped wild garlic or confit garlic. Season to taste with a little salt. Drizzle with oil and serve with the vegetables. Confit garlic Preheat the oven to 160ºC/gas 3. Break apart a whole garlic bulb into separate cloves, leaving the skins on. Place in a small ovenproof dish and add enough olive oil to just cover them. Bake in the oven for 25–35 minutes, depending on the size of the cloves, until the cloves are soft and easily pierced with a skewer or cocktail stick. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Transfer the cooled garlic and the oil to a sterilised, airtight container and store in the fridge, where it will keep for at least a couple of weeks.

blackberry ice cream with ginger biscuits for the blackberry ice cream 4 large egg yolks 185g caster sugar 350ml whole milk 1 vanilla pod, split lengthways and seeds scraped out 600ml double cream 300g blackberries

First make the custard for the ice cream. Using a balloon whisk, mix the egg yolks and 125g of the sugar in a heatproof bowl. Put the milk, vanilla seeds and pod in a pan and heat until steaming, then pour in a slow stream on to the egg yolk mixture, whisking all the time. Rinse out the saucepan and transfer the mixture back to the pan. Place over a low-medium heat and stir gently with a wooden spoon; it will slowly start to thicken. Once the custard thickens to double cream consistency, strain through a sieve into a clean bowl. Add the cream, mix well and leave to cool for an hour. Put the blackberries, the remaining 60g sugar and 30ml water in a pan over a medium heat. Leave to simmer for 10–15 minutes until the fruit has broken down, then strain through a sieve into a bowl. Leave to cool, then stir into the cooled custard. Churn the mixture in an ice-cream machine for 40 minutes, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a loaf tin or freezerproof container and freeze for at least 2 hours. If you don’t have an icecream machine, pour the mixture into a container and freeze overnight. The next day put it into the large bowl of a food processor and blitz until smooth. Scrape back into the container and re-freeze. Once solid, repeat the blitzing and then it should be good to go.

for the ginger biscuits (makes about 30) 100g unsalted butter, softened 80g caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp ground ginger ¼ tsp ground allspice 2 tbsp golden syrup 160g plain flour

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 4, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, baking powder, spices and syrup, and mix until well combined. Add the flour and bring it all together into a ball with your fingertips. Divide the dough in half and roll into 2 batons, about 2–3cm in diameter. Place the batons on the lined tray, leaving enough space between them as they will spread in the oven and you don’t want them to stick together. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until the biscuits have gone flat and golden brown in colour. Leave to cool for just 5 minutes then, while they are still hot, use a very sharp knife to cut the biscuits into 2-cm strips. Leave to cool and crisp up. Serve the biscuits with a scoop of blackberry ice cream. Any left over can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.

d.i.y. thai serves 6 summer rolls with dipping sauces dom’s thai green curry mango & orange blossom swirl with sesame snaps

We love Thai food: all those sweet, salty and sour flavours combined. This is a meal that we’ve been fortunate enough to have cooked for us by our friend Dom, who is a wizard at Thai cooking. Luckily, he has shared his failsafe curry recipe with us. The D.I.Y. element of this menu gets everyone involved and, as there is a real knack to rolling, it can get enjoyably messy too. It’s lovely to make these home-made dipping sauces for a more authentic taste, but if you’re short on time you could opt for shop-bought hoisin and chilli sauces.

Martin Jones, Dr. Jones now, left his hometown of New Orleans at the tail end of the Great Migration, headed North and West looking for relief from the segregation of the American South. He and his own father left together, travelers in pursuit of opportunity following the siren song of education. In Trenchtown, Jamaica, Mrs. Jones, nee McKenzie, had always had penpals. She found them in magazines, and wrote regularly; to Cuba, to Singapore and, well, to New Orleans. But the one from New Orleans was the only one who came to visit. Martin bought her a round-trip ticket to San Francisco a couple months after that first visit, with the promise that she could leave when she wanted. She hasn’t been back to Jamaica since. Shani, the seventh of Victoria and Martin’s eight kids, didn’t go to Jamaica until she was in her early twenties. She wandered the streets of her mother’s childhood with her aunt as her guide; standing beneath the window of the nursing school her mother graduated from, not even daring to enter the neighborhood her mother had grown-up in, fearing the rumors of violence. She missed the best jerk for that fear. It was, in Shani’s memory, the first time that she had felt at home. Growing up in San Francisco, the Jones house was always full. Two parents, grandparents, and 8 kids make for a crowd no matter how big the home. Both Martin and Victoria worked, but Shani’s mother always cooked for everyone who was around. That was aunts and uncles at the beginning, many of whom bought their own

This is the delicious, comforting, approachable food Hong grew up eating and what she cooks for packed tables every night at her award-winning restaurant, Ngam. Acclaimed photographers Noah Fecks and Paul Wagtouicz travelled with chef Hong to Thailand, shooting in Chiang-Mai, Bangkok, and stunning seaside resorts Phuket and Krabi, giving the book an added travel component and dozens of unique and unforgettable images.

Same book as the 2017 release but at a lower price (9780847858750) Perfect book for anyone who loves French food but finds classic haute cuisine too rich, too fattening, too complicated and too fussy. Alain Ducasse's recipes focus on traditional healthy French recipes – many inspired by Provence and the Mediterranean – such as one might find at someone's home rather than in a restaurant. Alain Ducasse is one of the most acclaimed living French chefs whose fame and influence span the world. He is the first chef whose restaurants have been awarded 3 Michelin stars in 2 different cities. This gorgeously illustrated book is easy to use and makes the perfect gift for foodies and fans of French cuisine. Capitalises on the huge interest in healthy organic cooking and healthy diets. Similar in subject and style to Ottolenghi's Plenty which has sold over 73,000 copies worldwide since May 2010. This latest volume puts the emphasis on organic, locally sourced vegetables, legumes, pulses, and grains. While not purely vegetarian, many of the recipes included here use animal protein very sparingly or not at all – which Ducasse argues is more sustainable for the planet and better for human health.

Tiki has never been hotter, enjoying an all-new vogue among young, hip urbanites. New tiki bars are opening up every year in cities all over the country and tiki-inspired cocktails are popping up on high-end restaurant and bar menus. Tiki gives readers a more modern look at tiki, focusing on the Caribbean origins of rum and many of the tropical fruits and juices used in tiki recipes. Tropical tiki style is definitely embraced but with a focus on looking forward into modern equipment, glassware, and accessories. Mustipher is a true rum nerd, providing readers with a highly detailed, digestible tasting guide to the broad world of Caribbean rums, and their various blends and styles, production techniques, and applications in cocktail recipes. Just as tequila drinkers are graduating to mezcal and whiskey fans seek out rare Japanese whiskeys or Scottish single malts, the world is ready to take rum seriously as a delicious and diverse spirit. Notable contemporary tiki personalities from across the country, including Nathan Hazard, tiki legend and musician Brother Cleve, Laura Bishop, and Ean Bancroft contribute original recipes.

POOLSIDE I had the piña colada—all white rum, coconut cream, and lime—on my mind here, but wanted to dial back the sweetness a bit—enter the baked-fruit flavors of banana. This adjustment draws out the vegetal and dry chocolaty notes in both rums. Papaya brings an additional layer of depth to the drink while the ginger adds a punchy kick and draws everything together for a long, spicy finish. Recommended spirit: Plantation O.F.T.D., Avuá Oak Cachaça 1 ounce Navy Style rum ½ ounce aged cachaça ½ ounce ginger syrup, see page 00 ½ ounce banana milk, see page 00 ½ ounce papaya juice ½ ounce fresh lemon juice Combine all ingredients in a blender with ice. Flash blend and pour into a tumbler or collins glass. Garnish with freshly grated lime zest.

HEADHUNTER A boozy play on an iced latte with an “extra shot” of espresso in the form of Fernet Vallet—a chocolaty amaro from Mexico that is folded into the cocktail along with Cardamaro, which brings subdued caramel and hazelnut notes. Jamaican rum and mezcal come together like two sides of the same coin, bringing to mind the dark notes characteristic of a Guatemalan or Sumatran coffee. Red rice lends an additional savory nuttiness, and a softness that bridges the gap between the spirits and amaros. Recommended spirit: Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black Rum 1 ounce mezcal 1 ounce pot still Jamaican rum 1 ounce red rice horchata, recipe follows ¼ ounce Cardamaro ⅛ ounce Fernet Vallet Combine all in a mixing tin with light pebbled ice. Flash blend for 10-15 seconds then pour into a tall tiki mug and top with crushed ice. Garnish with an orange twist and flaming lime shell (see page 00). Red rice horchata: Toast 1 cinnamon stick in a dry pan over medium heat till fragrant. Let cool then break into smaller pieces and combine with 1 cup red or purple rice, 2 cups whole almonds, 1 cup pitted Medjool dates, and 4½ cups boiling water in a large glass or non-porous, non-reactive bowl or container. Let steep at room temperature for 4 hours, then fine strain through a chinois and discard the solids. The horchata will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

L A K E AT N I G H T Tiki is all about appearances and the element of surprise, so don’t be fooled by the sapphire color of this cocktail. Reach for this one when you are in the mood to experience the unexpected. Rather than the sugary–sweet flavors you might expect from an electric blue drink, here you will find savory notes of smoked wood from the tea while the cardamom imparts fresh, punchy alpine aromas with a touch of sweet resin. Recommended spirit: Monopolowa Vodka 2 ounces smoked tea vodka, recipe follows ¼ ounce blue curaçao ½ ounce honey syrup, see page 00 ½ ounce fresh lemon juice 2 dashes cardamom bitters Combine all in a shaker with cubed ice. Shake and double strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with an orange twist or peel. Smoked Tea Vodka: Steep 2-3 teaspoons loose lapsang souchong leaves—feel free to experiment with your own favorite smoked black tea—in 6 ounces hot water for 2-3 minutes. Drain the water (or enjoy a nice cup of tea) and transfer the wet leaves to a glass or non-porous, non-reactive container and add 750 ml vodka. Steep the leaves in the vodka at room temperature for 5-7 minutes. Drain and discard the leaves before the tea is over-extracted; if too long, the spirit will become overly tannic and woody as opposed to deliciously smoky. Decant into a clean container or bottle. Store in a cool place away from sunlight, the vodka will keep indefinitely.

S . O . S . M A I TA I Ean Bancroft, The S.O.S. Tiki Bar, Atlanta, GA I do my best to refrain from showing favoritism,but I won’t here. My first visit to The S.O.S. Tiki Bar remains one of my favorite experiences to date. The entire crew gave top-notch hospitality, and Ean, who is a trained chef turned barman, welcomed me behind the bar to trade tips on the best way to make a daiquiri and Ti’ Punch. Meanwhile, I’d embraced the Mai Tai early on as one of my flagship cocktails at my first rum-focused bar project. It follows that after keeping one on the menu for five years running, I am not easily impressed by various iterations floating around out there. Ean’s, however, does not to fail to deliver. The flaming garnish is a fun spectacle, but also requires some caution and careful steps (see page 00). Bancroft reminds home mixologists that professional bar and kitchen staff are required tie back their hair and roll up sleeves as a safety measure when working around open flame of any kind. Recommended spirit: Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black Rum, La Favorite Coeur de Canne Rhum Agricole Blanc 1½ ounces pot still Jamaican rum ½ ounce rhum agricole blanc ¾ ounce orgeat ¾ ounce fresh lime juice ½ ounce orange curaçao Combine all ingredients in shaker tin and add a handful of ice. Shake vigorously, and dump into a collins glass and top with fresh pebbled ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge, pineapple leaf, and a flaming lime shell (see page 00). Note: For added drama, you can very carefully sprinkle ground cinnamon over the flaming line shell, from about 12-18 inches above the drink, to create impressive campfire-like sparks. The effect only lasts as long as you sprinkle the cinnamon over the flame. Be very mindful of your surroundings as the streamers leap high then burn out quickly, and always use all appropriate caution when working with open flame.

Years ago I asked a Moroccan cook I knew to teach me her favorite culinary technique. It didn’t involve cooking per se, but she taught me how to make preserved lemons. They have become a favorite ingredient of mine and a perfect use for Meyer lemons. We use these staples of North African cuisine in salads, salsas, and relishes, and, of course, in tagines and stews. It is easy to preserve lemons, and they will last for a year if kept refrigerated. I prefer using Meyer lemons, but any variety will do. —John 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns ½ teaspoon black peppercorns 2 cinnamon sticks, broken into small pieces 2 teaspoons coriander seeds 2 dried árbol chiles 7 Meyer lemons, 11/2–2 lb/750–900 g 1/

2 lb/250 g artisanal sea salt

(about 1 ½ cups) About 2 cups/500 ml fresh Meyer lemon juice (from 8–12 lemons)

E quipment Mortar and pestle One 2-qt/2-l glass jar with lid

In a mortar, combine the pink and black peppercorns, cinnamon, coriander, and chiles and crush lightly with a pestle to release their aromas. Using a sharp knife and starting at the stem end, cut each lemon into quarters, stopping just short of the blossom end so the base remains intact. Then, one at a time, open each lemon like a flower and sprinkle the interior generously with the salt. Do this in a bowl to make sure none of the salt is lost. As the lemons are salted, pack them into the jar, pushing down on them firmly so they start to release their juices, layering the crushed spices as you go, and using all of the salt. When all the lemons are in the jar, let them sit for 30 minutes to release their juices. Add lemon juice as needed to cover the lemons, then cover the surface with plastic wrap and top with a weight such as a rock or similar item to keep the lemons immersed. Seal the jar with its lid and store at room temperature for about 1 month. Once a week, give the jar a good shake, remove the lid to release any pressure, and then recap. The lemons are ready when the peels are tender to the bite with fermented tang. At that point, store the lemons in the refrigerator for up to a year. To use the lemons, remove what you need from the jar. Remove and discard the pulp, briefly rinse away the salt from the peel, and then cut the peel as directed in individual recipes.

Piquant tiger’s milk, or leche de tigre, is the classic component of a Peruvian ceviche. For the original Incan recipe, tumbo fruit, a close relative of passion fruit, provided the acidity to “cook” the seafood. Later, the Spaniards arrived and introduced lemons, which then became the main sour ingredient. There are many variations of ceviche. In this one, the sweetness of seared scallops balances the acidity of the tiger’s milk. —Fiorella

M eyer L emon T iger ’ s M ilk 4 medium-size Meyer lemons 1 medium-size Oro Blanco or other grapefruit 1 clove garlic 1 small red onion, chopped 1/

2 jalapeño chile, seeded

S eared S callops 6 large day boat sea scallops Artisanal sea salt 1 tablespoon clarified butter or ghee 1 tablespoon whole unsalted butter 1 pickled Limo or Thai chile, very thinly sliced (see headnote, Pickled Radishes, page 22) 2 fermented sunchokes, thinly sliced (see Lacto-Fermented Vegetables, page 23) 12 fresh cilantro leaves

To make the tiger’s milk, cut off the top and bottom 2 inch/12 mm of each lemon. Stand each lemon on its cut bottom and slice downward between the flesh and the peel, following the contour of the fruit and making sure to remove all the white pith. 1/

Holding a lemon over a small bowl, slice along both sides of each lemon segment, releasing it from the membrane and capturing the segments and the juice in the bowl. Repeat with the remaining lemons. Peel and reserve the grapefruit segments and juice the same way, using a second bowl. Cut the grapefruit segments in half crosswise and set aside for serving. In a blender, combine the lemon segments, the grapefruit and lemon juices, garlic, onion, jalapeño, ginger, and stock and process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Season with salt, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. To sear the scallops, first dry them with a paper towel and season with salt. Heat a 10-inch/25-cm sauté pan over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add the clarified butter, swirl the pan, and then spread the scallops evenly across the bottom. Reduce the heat to medium and let the scallops cook undisturbed for 5 minutes on just one side. Turn the heat to low and add the whole butter, spooning it over the scallops as it melts and browns for 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and let rest in a warm spot for a few minutes. To assemble, divide the tiger’s milk among 4 medium-size bowls. Top each serving with 1 1/2 scallops, the grapefruit segments, 3 or 4 fermented sunchoke slices, 2 or 3 chile slices, and 3 cilantro leaves.

This verdant, garden-inspired soup is delicious either warm or cold. Although Sonoma’s gentle climate encourages tender greens and herbs in the garden year-round, it’s the fleeting months of spring, when the wet earth starts to warm, that give us the ideal ingredients. We regularly start our events at Edge with some version of this soup, signaling to our guests that the garden is our primary source of inspiration. The recipe adapts really well to a variety of garnishes, such as crisp, buttery croutons, freshly picked Dungeness crab, or a generous dollop of caviar floating atop a small pool of crème fraîche. We often finish the presentation by adding tiny leaves of the same herbs used in the recipe and sometimes with edible petals from borage, calendula, or nasturtium flowers to brighten the flavor. Nettles can be added to the mix of tender greens, but handle with care! —Mike 3 large spring onions, or 1 yellow onion 2 large green garlic stalks, or 2 cloves garlic 1 medium leek 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Artisanal sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 small russet potato, peeled and thinly sliced crosswise 4 cups /1 l vegetable stock or water 1/

2 lb/250 g mixed tender greens and

lettuces, such as spinach, arugula, Swiss chard, young mustard greens, and romaine and other mild lettuces 2 handfuls mixed fresh tender herb leaves, such as flat-leaf parsley, cilantro, tarragon, basil, chervil, and celery, large stems removed A few gratings of nutmeg Fresh lemon juice for seasoning Herb Oil (page 72) or your best extra-virgin olive oil for garnish Edible flowers and tender herb leaves for garnish

Trim the tops from the spring alliums (spring onions, green garlic, and leek) at the point where light green gives way to dark. Split all the stalks in half lengthwise, removing the tough outer layers from each as you go. Rinse the stalks thoroughly in cold water, splaying the layers open as you rinse to dislodge any hidden dirt. Thinly slice the cleaned alliums. If using the yellow onion and garlic cloves, peel and slice them and combine with the leeks. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the alliums, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook, stirring often to prevent browning, until tender, 8–10 minutes. Add the potato and stock, bring to a simmer, add another pinch of salt, and cook, uncovered, until the potato slices are very tender, about 10 minutes. While the soup base is cooking, fill a large bowl half full with ice and nest a medium bowl in the ice. Have ready an immersion blender or stand blender. Having the ice bath and blender ready to go will ensure that you can chill down the soup rapidly, the key to locking in bright color and flavor. When the potato slices are tender, raise the heat to mediumhigh and load all the greens and herbs into the pan, stirring as they wilt into the liquid and the liquid returns to a simmer. If using an immersion blender, remove the pan from the heat, carefully pour the contents into the bowl nested in ice, and process until smooth, then stir until chilled. If using a stand blender, transfer the soup in two batches, topping the lid with a folded kitchen towel and holding it down firmly to prevent scalding yourself as you purée until smooth. As each batch is ready, pour it into the bowl nested in ice, then stir rapidly until chilled. Grate a very small amount of nutmeg into the chilled soup and season to taste with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. The soup is delicious served chilled, but if you prefer to serve it hot, wait until the last minute, then reheat gently to preserve its brightness. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with the oil, and garnish with the flowers and herb leaves.

Two essential larder items come from gently poaching garlic cloves in olive oil: the lovely soft and sweet garlic confit and the pungent, garlicky oil. The key is to go low and slow, which yields garlic that is only slightly colored. Store the confit, covered with a collar of the olive oil, in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to a week, or purée and freeze it for several months. The strained oil is good for a month if you refrigerate it. —John 4 large, firm heads garlic 1 cup/250 ml extra-virgin olive oil 3 fresh thyme sprigs

E quipment Mortar and pestle (optional)

Separate the garlic cloves by pressing down on the top of the head with the heel of your hand. Soak the cloves in water for 10 minutes to soften the peels. Then, using a paring knife, cut off the small, hard end of each clove and peel the cloves. Put the cloves in a small saucepan, pour in the olive oil, add the thyme sprigs, and cook over low heat for 45 minutes. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 325°F/165°C, put the garlic, oil, and thyme in a small baking dish, cover, and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Strain the garlic oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass jar, cap tightly, and refrigerate for up to 1 week. For the confit, the garlic cloves can be left whole or mashed with either the mortar and pestle or the flat blade of a chef’s knife, then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze the confit, after mashing the garlic, transfer it to a small, airtight container, top with a 1/4-inch/6-mm layer of garlic oil or plain olive oil, and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Fromages Dominique Bouchait A French master fromager shares over 30 years of expertise in selecting, storing, and serving cheese from Abondance to Valençay. There are many books about cheese, but this one features the professional knowledge and passion of a French master fromager who shares his expertise on making sense of the many cheese varieties – crumbly, creamy, buttery, mouldy – for which France is famous. From farms in the pastoral French countryside and cheese caves in a medieval Alpine monastery to the dairy scientists and affineurs who comprise the world of modern French cheese, no other book that covers the entire cheese spectrum. The book begins with answers to 70 commonly heard questions – from why there are crusts on some cheese to why is mimolette orange and why cheeses do not all smell alike – and sections explaining the basics of cheese-making and ripening, the nuances of cow, sheep, and goat milk, and the alchemy of essential probiotics used as starter cultures. The main part of the book pays tribute to France's 45 A.O.P. cheeses – such as Brie de Meaux, Maroilles, Morbier, Munster, Rocquefort, Valençay – which have been granted the appellation d'origine protégée guaranteeing origin and type. Each profile features a full-page photographic portrait with detailed text about terroir and origin, selection, tasting, presentation, serving, and wine pairing. Publication

WHERE IT ALL STARTED Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent semper fringilla luctus. Phasellus consectetur aliquet erat, eget inte rdum nibh.

When I was growing up my family always vacationed somewhere in France, never in the same region, sometimes for three to four weeks at a time. Looking back, I think it was during these trips that I really fell in love with food. Even today I can remember trying my first baguette, my first mussel, my first steak—these experiences transformed the way I looked at food. The variety of the food among the different regions of France still amazes me. My parents were both teachers whose work began early and ended late every day. They did not have time to cook elaborate meals during the week, but during the holidays and on the weekends, they would and they were really good. Coming from an academic family, on our family vacations, everyone always had their head in a book. But, as a kid, I was unable to sit still long enough to read a book, so the kitchen became a natural destination for me. At the time I’m sure I did not appreciate the food I had a access to, how lucky I was to be able to walk to a farmers market and buy vegetables that had been picked that morning, baguettes baked fresh from a wood burning oven, moules et frites or steak with green peppercorn sauce; but I know it gave me a respect for food that I still have today. From an early age I never had a doubt that cooking was what I wanted to do. Some people fall into this profession, but when I was twelve years old, I already was certain that I wanted to be a chef. At that age, I began cooking more adventurous things at home, subjecting my parents to some real disasters, which they always slowly but politely ate. At sixteen I landed my first kitchen job, in a local four-star hotel set in an old monastery; the Nutfield Priory Hotel in Surrey, England, was a beautiful historic property and its kitchen was run by an amazing executive chef named David Evans, who I owe so much to. As soon as I finished school I was accepted into the hotel’s apprenticeship program, which I completed in four years. We were taught about every department in the kitchen, and many of the dishes on the menu were designed specifically to instruct us: pig’s trotters, for example—no one ever ordered them, but we had to learn how to break them down and

cook them. I will always be grateful for this education; you can’t learn these things in cooking school, you need to do them under the pressure of a professional kitchen—and this was a tough kitchen. There’s one particular incident from my time working there that I will never forgot; it has stuck with me throughout my entire career. One afternoon I was assigned to make sandwiches for a wedding. I was a year into my apprenticeship at that point, so I thought I knew everything and I didn’t want to be stuck making sandwiches. I wanted to be filleting a whole salmon or breaking down the quail, but instead I was making hundreds of sandwiches. They didn’t look good, as I didn’t really care about doing them, but then Chef Evans walked past, grabbed me hard by the arm until I flinched, and asked me, “If it ain’t perfect, then why bother?” Then he let go and walked away. It was like a lightening bolt had hit me: I immediately went back to the sandwiches and fixed each and every one, making them the best sandwiches that I could possibly make. A few hours later, when the sandwiches were leaving the kitchen, the chef looked them over, gave me a wink, and then kicked me straight in my shin with his pointy shoe! It’s a day I will never forget, and without Davids Evans’s support and firm guidance, I definitely would not be writing this cookbook. The four years of my apprenticeship were some of the best in my career, and I feel very honored to have had that experience. (Incidentally I also met my now wife there, all those years ago! ) Professionals kitchens are tough places; many of them adhere to a survival of the fittest code, and I think that’s what always drew me to them. I love the boisterousness and banter of the kitchen, and its dog eat dog mentality. I always try leave a kitchen better than when I walked in, but there’s always room for improvement; everyone in the kitchen is always chasing a finish line but always falling just short, until another race begins. That constant need for innovation and perfection is like an addiction at times. Sure I could settle for less, but I’d never be satisfied. And Chef Evans’s rhetorical question is always playing in the back of my mind: “if it ain’t perfect, then why bother?”

THE SWEET STUFF

Whenever I make any type of pastry, cake, or confectionery, my first question is, “Is it too sweet?” There is a misconception nowadays that every pastry is full of sugar and that, in fact, that’s what makes it a pastry. For me, the skill and artistry that goes into pastry making, like almost anything in life, requires finding the right balance. I try to treat sugar in pastry like I treat salt in savory food—too much and it’s overpowering, too little and the food is bland. It’s easy to dump caramel or chocolate sauce on top of everything, throw marshmallows in where they don’t belong, douse something in syrup—maybe the first bite is nice, but how do you feel ten minutes later? Sugar produces and gives energy, so our bodies yearn for it. In children, this craving is a survival technique. That’s why kids always would happily eat a plate of gummy bears, but not necessarily a plate of peas; it’s in their DNA. As we get older that natural urge subsides somewhat.

items like caramels, are sweet by definition, and that’s okay because you eat one or two of them at a time—not a whole plate full. But even when creating the recipe for caramels in the confectionary chapter, I posed the question: How do we take something that is 95 percent sugar and make it balanced? In this instance, we make a beurre noisette out of the butter to create a dark caramel, which gives it a natural bitterness, and we add salt to balance the sweetness. Then we flavor the caramels with ingredients that further balance the sweetness, either with more savory ingredients like hazelnuts or something more acidic like passionfruit and mango, which help cut through the sweetness. Are the recipes in this chapter sweet? Yes. Are they overly sweet and sickly? No. If you look closely, you’ll see that I’ve used the natural sweetness that comes from milk, cream, chocolate, and even lemons or honey to avoid employing excessive quantities of refined sugar. My hope is that you will enjoy the results.

As a pastry chef, I pride myself on a judicious use of sugar. Of course, some things, such as one-bite

You will need a Thermapen (a superfast digital thermometer) or candy thermometer and a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch tip. A convection oven is preferable for macarons because baking them in a standard oven can create speckles on the top of the shells. TIP: If the starter has not started to ferment or bubble on its own, the best thing to do is to start again with new yeast and make sure you water is the correct temperature—if it’s too hot it will kill the yeast and nothing will happen.

I also suggest that you create a template so each macaron is as similar in size as possible. On a sheet of parchment paper cut to fit your baking sheets, use a pencil to trace a 2-inch cookie cutter, staggering the circles in rows. When it’s time to pipe, you can use this as a guideline.

Cheese Board For a small dinner party, keep your selection of cheese to three, with a range of textures and flavors. When hosting a larger group, stick to five, adding in a few selections for interest’s’ sake. A good rule of thumb is to portion out about three ounces of cheese per person. You might want to add in a wild card, but don’t expect to be host and matchmaker when you’re serving up a borderline-rank Roquefort. Put faith in your local cheese monger, who you can trust to recommend the perfect cheese based on what you’re serving it alongside, and they can even tell you how to serve it, whether sliced, crumbled, or cubed. Your guests will assume what sits side by side is meant to be eaten together, so do them a favor and arrange in pairs to avoid an unsavory combination, although mixing and matching is always encouraged. Let the cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. While the cheese softens, assemble your accoutrements. Gather your pairings and group together items meant to be eaten in tandem. Have the right utensils on hand and cut a few slices for your guests—nobody wants to be the first to cut the cheese.

Jenni’s Tip | Explabo pra sint fugia quiatio nsequunt, alianto explabo. Occusandunt earciet fugiam volor rem lam aborum necum et odita cor rate doluptio molut alia volor aut.

CITRUS CELEBRATION Ojai is renowned for miles of winding orchards, and particularly the citrus that grows there. From March to May, harvest season sees a bounty of oranges, lemons, satsumas, grapefruits, and the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature varietal, the pixie, a small, ultra-sweet, seedless version of a tangerine. Taking advantage of fruit in its prime is to employ it every form, paired it with flavors both savory and sweet and sneaking it into seasonal crafts. Even the flowers featured a base of halved oranges, of offset by spindly white blooms with a light perfume to compliment the bright citrus aroma.

Summer Houses by the Sea The Shingle Style Bret Morgan and Morgan

An extremely popular traditionalist style, there have been other books on Shingle Style residential architecture, perhaps most notably the author's own successful volume Shingle Styles (Abrams), which is now more than fifteen years old. Our book takes a fresh look at both major houses and little known treasures, each in its romantic seaside locale – be it Jamestown, RI, or Montauk, NY – along with its warm interior rooms and often lush landscaping and gardens. The book will appeal to those who aspire to own a Shingle Style house, and to architects and students of architecture of this famed American vernacular style.

The book features twenty-two shingle-style houses, all set in romantic settings by the sea, in all-new photography especially taken for the book. It includes early masterpieces of the style from the 18th century up to contemporary examples built within the last ten years by some of the great architects at work in the style today.

Same fabulous book that was released in 2014 (9780847842483) but now at a lower price. The history of the modern movement in Southern California is a perennially irresistible subject. Never before has this master modernist architect, whose work spans the second half of the twentieth century, been collected in a single volume. Today, when Ficketts do go on sale, they are snapped up as soon as they are advertised, bringing with them a premium for being architecturally significant, decades ahead of their time, and as contemporary today as they were when they were built. Follows on the success of such titles as Ranch Houses: Living the California Dream, Carefree California: Cliff May and the Romance of the Ranch House, L.A. Modern, and Palm Springs Modern.

COMFORTABLE Comfort is the biggest driver in every single one of my projects. No matter how many client presentations I’ve made about color, form, or texture, invariably the conversation always circles back to comfort. Of course, I can pick a chair of exquisite provenance and sublime beauty, but at the end of the day you’re going to want to sit in it and feel relaxed and at ease. Listen, there’s not enough space in the world to designate something as a showpiece room. Instead you want to create rooms that put you at ease even when you’re wowed by their beauty. Have you ever wanted to just stay in a room forever? That’s exactly what comfortable does. So, take charge and make sure there’s aren’t just a couple of comfortable rooms in a house, but that every room achieves this goal—and look outside the house as well for creating thoughtful spaces that make you want to linger al fresco when the weather is right. There is valuable real estate all around you and unlocking its potential is our goal. Much of bringing comfort to a room is based on certain classical traditional proportions that have merit.

I’m a big believer in the comfort of the familiar. This idea that if we’re concerned with making the wrong decision we will default to what we know. These subconscious versions of where things should go based on what we’ve been surrounded by are the perfect jumping off point. They’re easy to put into practice and work no matter how modern your personal style is. Once you’ve established a good plan, you can pick furniture designed to address the needs of the room, because comfort comes in all shapes and sizes. You’re not done when you’ve picked the perfect chair. That sense of comfort needs to carry through once you’ve taken a seat. Is there a reading lamp casting enough light but not too much? Is there a place to put a glass down within arm’s reach? If someone comes into the room, do you see them enter or do they startle you from behind? Comfort is more than foam and feathers. This feeling comes from marrying all the right forms and functions—when everything falls into place no questions of why something is there or what it’s purpose is. And there are certainly design elements that are hallmarks of

Of course, you need one comfortable sofa in a living room. But that doesn’t mean every other piece needs to be stuffed with feathers and foam. Furniture in frame provides the perfect contrast as its sculptural form plays off the weight and mass of the larger piece. Although it might not be the first place you choose to sit, you’ve created the opportunity to sit face to face with someone and have a real conversation.

COMFORTABLE

No one is going to say no to an ottoman, especially when you can use one just about anywhere.

For your big entrance, please don’t make the mistake of statement wallpaper.

It’s overplayed and overshadows what’s to come. Why not paint the ceiling a dazzling poison green lacquer? Now there’s something your guests won’t forget. And now, the walls can become the perfect neutral backdrop for Works of art that tell the story of the person who lives there, instead of broadcasting a generic pattern.

This workhorse can be a chair, a table, a footrest, a dog bed. Beyond that, done up in a statement fabric or embellished with unexpected trim, this piece gives a room just the touch of personality it needs.

Nothing is friendlier than a round table.

Breakfast rooms are busy places with family members going about their schedules, and the shape helps to circulate all that traffic. It invites conversation, which at first this space did not foster with a noisy Moroccan tile floor that echoed with the sound of clanking forks and chairs dragging across the floor. A simple fix was putting down a few area rugs, so you can actually hear when someone asks to pass the sugar.

COMFORTABLE

COLORFUL

There’s no question that black is a color.

A room painted this boldly takes confidence, but you can’t burden it with too much color.

These painted floors anchor the room and provide a foil for pattern, which wouldn’t be half as strong without it. As an added bonus, light bounces off the dark floor and makes the hall even brighter.

Trim, furniture, and flowers are much more muted and tempered. Every element can’t shout.

Guided by her philosophy "A room should awaken the senses," Galli's goal is to cast a spell with her interior designs. Galli's interiors are celebrated for expressing the deepest desires of her clients through storytelling layers of textiles, colours, and furnishings. In Magical Rooms, Galli shares her collaborative approach to show us how we can transform our inspirations into good design. Showcasing twelve very different interiors – from a Brooklyn townhouse to a Tribeca loft to a Greenwich Village apartment to an Upper West Side penthouse – Galli illustrates how she has achieved the finished look for each and breaks down her design principles into instructive teachings on scale, structure, balance, and colour that readers can apply to their own interiors. Through the lens of her favourite rooms, Galli shares her own inspirations and tried-and-true tips, revealing how she distills her influences into five elements that she uses, in every project: Nature (bring the outside in); Clashing (a no-rules attitude); Surrealism (subverting the rules of scale and composition); Bohemian (worldly, chic, and eccentric); and Sparkle (the influence of disco sprinkled like fairy dust). Full of inspiration, ideas, and real-world design tips, Magical Rooms empowers us to dream and to create our own chic and personally meaningful interiors.

Nature Clashing Surrealism Bohemian Sparkle

Magical Rooms When we moved to our Carroll Gardens townhouse, my husband and I had just come back to the States from a year living in Madrid. I had also just started my own Interior Design practice out of our old apartment in the West Village. And were about to have a baby. When embarking on the design of the interior, I did not set out to make a grand statement including all of my philosophies and inspirations. I was thinking about making a home. That it would be a home made up of magical rooms was, I suppose, a given. The walls were painted in depressive colors and the whole place felt heavy and dark when we found it. But the elegant original moldings were intact, as well as the early twentieth Century marble fireplaces, and the classic townhouse floor-through layout, with ceilings 12-foot-high on the parlor level. The first thing I knew was that I wanted to break apart the hermetic energy of the space, and fill it with light. My husband, architect Julio Salcedo, created access to the back garden from both levels. We reconfigured the lower level with double doors leading from the master bedroom out to the garden, and added a small addition to the back, creating a guest bedroom on the lower level, and a deck off the

208

parlor-level kitchen, with a stairway down to the garden. Though it’s worlds away, I wanted to make a home that felt deeply personal and cozy, and that captured some of the magic of my childhood home in the forest. I knew I wanted to infuse it with vibrancy and an open-wide connection to the big world outside. And, of course, all of the elements. The magic of the forest, the sparkle of the dance floor, the clashing that catches your eye, the otherworldly imagery, and a little bit of gypsy caravan charm. If you’ve ever had an after-dinner dance party with your kids, at the end of a day in the sun, you’ll know that a kid-friendly home does not have to mean sacrificing the things that inspire you. When making a home, the most important thing is love. If you love it, it will work. If it inspires you, it can’t be wrong.

The Art of Place Architecture and Interiors Lee Ledbetter The first book from this celebrated American designer and architect known for creating spaces that balance historic detail and modern elegance.

Publication

01 April 2019

The work of architect and interior designer Lee Ledbetter represents a one-of-a-kind combination of traditional details and chic Modernism. Lee Ledbetter established his practice in New Orleans in 1996 and has developed a body of work that emerges from his ability to incorporate historical precedent as well as regional and environmental context, and his firm has received recognition for its expertise well beyond its Deep South roots. Ledbetter's interiors and architecture combine a cleanly tailored and bright modernity with the unapologetic embellishments of refined and luxurious decoration. Ledbetter strongly believes design to be a fine art along with painting and sculpture, and he considers placement and scale of furniture, artwork, and lighting as carefully as he does the creation of walls and the spaces they contain. As Mayer Rus, who provides the text for this title, once wrote in House & Garden , "Lee Ledbetter rejects the idea that a serious architect cannot be a dedicated decorator as well."

Treehouses, Towers, and Tea Huts The Architecture of Terunobu Fujimori Mauro Pierconti A contemporary, eccentric architect who draws on Japanese tradition, Terunobu Fujimori's designs manage to be simultaneously whimsical, beautifully designed, and environmentally sensitive. The projects in this volume will appeal to both architectural professionals and fans of innovative design. This book is an in-depth analysis from a formal, design, and cultural point of view of Terunobu Fujimori's entire architectural production to date. It is not a mere collection of his works, but an exhaustive review delving into many sources, which finally offers a complete critical interpretation of his work. Fujimori has made a name for himself in Japan by crafting beguiling little buildings that refuse to follow any of the usual rules. His hand-made structures look like the nests or cocoons of curious creatures, woven, whittled and thatched with organic, earthy materials that could have been scavenged from the forest floor.

John Richardson's Bohemian Aristocrat interiors are, and have been throughout his life, filled with fine English and American antiques; interesting textiles; works of art by friends, legendary artists Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Lucian Freud, Andy Warhol, and Robert Mapplethorpe; vivid colour combinations; and objects that prompt stories from a well-lived life. From London and the stately buildings of Stowe School, in the idyllic Buckinghamshire countryside, to the south of France, New York City, and the Connecticut countryside, Richardson shares the story of his life through places, objects, and people – a form of autobiography, gloriously illustrated, entertainingly told. In stories about his residences in the south of France (at the Château de Castille with celebrated art historian and collector Douglas Cooper), London (a set of rooms at the famed Albany apartment house), and the United States (glamorous New York City apartments and a country retreat in Connecticut), Richardson reveals his life through a mélange of interesting places, mementoes, works of art, furnishings that prompt stories, and an endlessly fascinating assortment of friends and acquaintances – Fernand Léger, Lady Diana Cooper, Fran Lebowitz, and Oscar and Annette de la Renta, to name a few. Essential reading for those interested in twentieth-century art and social history, grandly liveable interiors, and the good life.

Used copies of the original hardcover sell for between $175 and $700 USD on Amazon. There is no one out there like Brian Eno, and there is no other book on his visual art. Fans will be delighted to discover an affordable PB of this authoritative volume. Eno released Reflection in January of 2017, a "generative" musical experience available both as a traditional EP and as an app that, according to the New York Times review, "will allow listeners to hear music that creates itself anew all day, or night, long." It also features a visual accompaniment to the music designed by Eno. His most recent visual art show sold out immediately, and his projects continue to be widely reviewed and discussed in the media. Brian Eno contributed an essay to the book entitled Perfume, Defense, and David Bowie's Wedding. Eno and Bowie were friends and creative collaborators, and this text piece serves as a tribute and memorial to the legendary David Bowie. Additionally, author Christopher Scoates was recently appointed the director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.

Delicious Metropolis The Desserts and Urban Scenes of Wayne Thiebaud Wayne Thiebaud At last, a gorgeous collection of seminal artist Wayne Thiebaud's most popular paintings! This book brings together two of Wayne Thiebaud's most celebrated bodies of work: desserts and cityscapes. Between the two, fascinating juxtapositions develop. The layers of a Neapolitan cake echo the shadows cast across a street in the late afternoon, and the pastel hues of sponge cake and icing match the candy-coloured houses of the California cities Thiebaud has called home. With a foreword by an expert on Thiebaud's work, ten short essays by curators, critics, and artists, 95 gorgeous images, and a faux dyed edge creating a layer cake effect on the book block, this is a rich and accessible celebration of an iconic artist.

Wayne Thiebaud's desserts and cityscapes are instantly recognisable and perennially popular. He is an internationally acclaimed artist and a beloved California icon whose lengthy career and gracious personality have garnered him a devoted following. The only Thiebaud art book currently in print is a heady 360-page, $150 USD tome from Rizzoli. Currently, there is no lovely, covetable, commercial volume in this price range. Thiebaud's artwork resonates not only with his fans, but also with dessert lovers, bakers, city-dwellers, and those who dream of California. This book will appeal far beyond the fine-art audience, and the book's bold-yet-sweet aesthetic will merchandise beautifully in a variety of specialty accounts.

Black Refractions Highlights from The Studio Museum in Harlem Connie H. Choi and Thelma Golden and Kellie Jones An authoritative guide to one of the world's most important collections of African-American art, with works by artists from Romare Bearden to Kehinde Wiley. The artists featured in Black Refractions, including Kerry James Marshall, Faith Ringgold, Nari Ward, Norman Lewis, Wangechi Mutu, and Lorna Simpson, are drawn from the renowned collection of the Studio Museum in Harlem. Through exhibitions, public programs, artist-in-resdiencies, and bold acquisitions, this pioneering institution has served as a nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally since its founding in 1968. Rather than aim to construct a single history of "black art," Black Refractions emphasises a plurality of narratives and approaches, traced through 125 works in all media from the 1930s to the present. An essay by Connie Choi and entries by Eliza A. Butler, Akili Tommasino, Taylor Aldridge, Larry Ossei Mensah, Daniela Fifi , and other luminaries contextualize the works and provide detailed commentary. A dialogue between Thelma Golden, Connie Choi, and Kellie Jones draws out themes and challenges in collecting and exhibiting modern and contemporary art by artists of African descent. More than a document of a particular institution's trailblazing path, or catalytic role in the development of American appreciation for art of the African diaspora, this volume is a compendium of a vital art tradition.

Jonas Wood is inspired by the domestic worlds of plants and household objects, vases, flowers, and basketballs. Through these familiar objects, Wood explores art historical modes such as perspective and abstraction. Tracing the evolution of Wood's unique visual vocabulary through his printing practice, this catalogue reveals his understanding of line, shape, and colour, and how that allows him to seamlessly transpose the vividness of his paintings into print. In more than fifty limited edition prints produced between 2004 and 2018, Wood explores visual themes such as museum interiors, tennis courts, logos, and ceramics; effectively examining the immediacy of everyday life while referencing art history and several of art's most accomplished practitioners, including Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, David Hockney, and Ed Ruscha. The prints – produced in the print studios of Cirrus Editions Ltd., Counter Editions, Hamilton Press, Wavelength Press, and more – also attest to the importance of collaboration in Wood's work.

Author Details Jacob Samuel founded Edition Jacob Samuel (EJS), which published prints for many of the most important artists working today. Complete sets of his prints are in various museum collections including the Los Angeles County Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He works with Jonas Wood at Wood's imprint, WKS Editions. He is a lecturer in printmaking at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Giorgetti's tradition goes back more than 100 years ago when it was founded in Brianza and it still drives innovation while preserving the heritage of its expertise in cabinet making. Includes sketches, drawings, watercolours, and woodboard models from the company's archive. The volume is organised as a "cabinet of memories" specially designed to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the founding of Giorgietti.

Was the transition from traditional to modern furniture? Yes, but it was still not what I wanted. Although we produced different pieces, they said Giorgetti were making hybrids. This has always annoyed me a little. At that point, Scolari brought over a Luxembourg urban planner, Léon Krier, who was a private consultant to the Prince of Wales in the UK. The requirement, as ever, was never having designed furniture. When I called him, he told me that he was an architect, but because Scolari was there, he wanted to try. We decided the first project would be a table. The design arrived – it was a disaster, so I invited him to see the prototype. We made two of them, the first to his design – a ham – the second with my proportions... He preferred mine, and that was how our collaboration began. I then asked Scolari to find an Asiatic designer, and Chi Wing Lo arrived, a phenomenon. What do you think are Giorgetti’s iconic pieces which will go down in history and be remembered? The Progetti. It came into being one evening around midnight. I was collecting sticks and my eye was drawn to one with a certain shape. I stopped, turned back, grabbed a pencil, and a chair came into being. Since I adored pau ferro – I brought it first from Brazil – at half past midnight Progetti came into being, I gave it to the technical department and I asked them to create it. The secret, the key feature is the figure of the wood, polished with the lacquered part underneath. That is everything. Then, there is Arabella. It drove me crazy. I took maybe 10 years because I wanted the piece to follow the frame rather than the frame moving. One evening, I was looking at a woman’s magazine, a beautiful woman and a corset – I don’t know if I was more taken with the woman or the corset! We resolved everything with harmonic steel. I asked Scolari if he wanted it to be his design, but in the end we both took responsibility. What do you remember about your colleagues, the other furniture entrepreneurs? I remember Piero Busnelli, who said to me one day: “I envy you. Yes, because you have been able to create your own style!” He was the only one who ever said that to me. //

Nyn 1995 Design Chi Wing Lo “A receptacle tends to remain unused, a treasure destined to become a burden, the contents necessarily constrained. If a cabinet is a personal stronghold it does not need to be closed. Its clearly-defined capacity is naturally impervious to the excess created by our wealth. I do not imply complete exclusion, I am more interested in condensing the past to make room for the future.” “Un ricettacolo tende a rimanere inutilizzato, un tesoro destinato a diventare un peso; il contenuto viene necessariamente costretto. Se una cassettiera diventa una roccaforte personale non ha bisogno di essere chiusa; grazie al suo ben definito dominio offre una resistenza naturale all’eccesso che scaturisce dalla nostra ricchezza. Con questo non voglio implicare un’esclusione completa, ho maggiormente interesse a condensare il passato per lasciar spazio al futuro.” Chi Wing Lo

Her legs makes her always be in a movement, it seams that she will rotate any time. Curvy, feminine and we love her being so perfect but at the same time asymmetrical. She could easily stay alone and be more sculptural or in harmony with other Norahs creating a sophisticated composition.” “Elegante, semplice, divertente, snella, leggera ma solida, con una forte personalità. Una ballerina classica, che non è statica ma sembra sempre sul punto di iniziare a muoversi. Le gambe sono sempre in movimento, sembra che da un momento all’altro farà una piroetta.

Curated by the artist's longtime studio assistant and friend, David Dawson, this important volume features twenty major and rarely seen paintings by Lucian Freud (1922-2011). The book begins with works from 1990, when Freud began painting the performance artist Leigh Bowery: these large-scale portraits of Bowery ushered in a new sense of monumentality in the artist's oeuvre. Inspired by Bowery's impressive physique, Freud began working on a larger scale, which emphasised the physical presence of his subjects. Despite their grand scale, Freud's subjects are still depicted with a sense of intimacy, penetrating honesty, and psychological depth. The naked body is a subject that has special significance in Freud's oeuvre. Nakedness was a way for Freud to get a more truthful portrait. Freud's probing oils get fresh consideration in this monograph and Dawson provides insights and stories about Freud working on these portraits, giving an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the life of a contemporary master of representational art.

Author Details David Dawson is a painter who worked with Lucian Freud for twenty-five years. He is the author of A Life with

DEBA BL ADE LENGTH: 105mm OVERALL LENGTH: 290mm WEIGHT: 239g MANUFACTURED BY: SAKON MATERIALS: MACHINE-FORGED SHIRO GA MI STEEL*, HO (MAGNOLIA WO OD), BUFFALO HORN USES: FILLETING, SKINNING, BONING AND SLICING FISH ORIGINALLY, NOW ALSO MEAT

T H E DEBA LOOKS, and initially feels, like a heavy ‘chopper’-style blade. It’s thick at the spine and doesn’t begin to narrow much until the shinogi line (see page 130), at least halfway down the blade. There’s nothing in the design calculated to minimise weight. Indeed, the heel end of the blade is used as a chopper when removing fish heads. The cook takes a ‘hammer’ grip on the handle and brings the very back end of the blade down hard on the bone – and usually goes through at a stroke. But that’s where things change. Shifting grip so the handle is in line with the forearm and extending the finger along the spine brings the tip end of the blade into play. The deba is single-ground – so it’s wickedly sharp and zips through skin and scales – and flat-backed, so it glides over rib bones. Suddenly that extra weight isn’t a barrier to delicate work; quite the opposite, in fact – it seems to steady the tip. Some experts sharpen their deba in different ways at different places on the blade, with the tip as delicate as a yanagiba and the heel with a more robust angle – it’s a lovely idea but way beyond most of our day-to-day knife-maintenance skills.

* Japanese knife steels are predominantly made by the Hitachi company. The name refers to the paper it comes wrapped in on delivery. These are the types most often used in knifemaking: Aogami (Blue Paper) series Aogami #1: High tensile strength, soft enough to be easy to sharpen Aogami #2: High toughness and edge retention Aogami Super: Ideal combination of the above Shirogami (White Paper) series Shirogami #1: Hardest among the Hitachi steels, higher carbon Shirogami #2: Tougher than #1 but slightly less hard Kigami (Yellow Paper) series A good-quality general tool steel

ON M EN DI NG A N D MODDI NG ON E OF M Y FAVOU R I T E MOV I E QUOT E S comes from the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Explaining his knackered condition to ex-lover Marion Ravenwood, Indy rumbles, ‘It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.’ Like a lot of clapped-out older blokes, I love the idea that, worn with pride, wear and damage equate with character and, like the scars and tattoos on a human body, the repairs and modifications we make to a knife add to its charisma. Perhaps the simplest modification many chefs make to their knives is to personalise or name them. You can burn an initial into a plastic handle using a heated needle or skewer or mark it with nail polish (see the lovely fading initials of Henry Harris on the handle of the Sabatier on page 46). On older wooden knives, like Nat Gilpin’s on page 73 you can easily gouge an identifying mark using another blade. Many knife shops will now engrave a blade with your name, though this somehow doesn’t feel quite as rugged and adventurous as Dr Jones. When knives get damaged they can often be repaired in a way that extends their life and enhances their intrigue. In the picture opposite you’ll see a phenolic handle that has cracked and split after a kindly soul put it through a hot cycle in the dishwasher. After the owner had cooled down, he filled the cracks with Fymo (an airdrying modelling compound available from art shops), which, as long as nobody puts it through the dishwasher again, will give years more use. The beautiful carbon-steel hankotsu pictured was carelessly dropped on to a stone floor and the tip snapped off. Half an hour or so with a coarse sharpening stone (see page 202) has reshaped the damaged tip to the owner’s specification, making it both useful and pleasingly unique. Some modifications are less about repair than about making the knife more pleasant to use. Long use of a non-bolstered knife, particularly with wet hands, can cause blisters on the second joint of the forefinger where it hits the back of the blade. This cai dao has been wrapped with string for a long shift of fish filleting. ‘Sugru’ is a silicone-based material that can be moulded by hand and dries to a tough, almost rubber-like finish. Product designers, hackers and geeks love it and it can usually be found ‘modding’ drones, espresso machines, racing bike gear levers or other hipster gadgets. It was only a matter of time before someone discovered how great it is for creating a high-tech version of the time-honoured string modification. Repairing or modding a knife is like nursing a much-loved pet through illness or injury. You’re delighted to get it back, even if it looks a bit lopsided, and somehow, you love it even more. KNIFE

The annunciation Fra Angelico • (1395–1455) Circa 1426

B Giotto

Tempera on wood

76 3/8 x 76 3/8 in.

The Prado Museum, Madrid

Fra Angelico, painter and monk

orn around 1400, Guido di Pietro was 21 when he entered the Dominican Order at the convent in Fiesole, near Florence, Italy. He was already known as a painter. Because of the many angels in his paintings, he was nicknamed Fra Angelico. Encouraged by his superiors, Fra Angelico devoted himself to painting religious scenes, an effective way of persuading the faithful to believe in God and to transmit the values of the religion. At the end of his life, around 1450, he was considered the greatest painter in Florence.

The annunciation The painting represents the moment when the angel Gabriel, with his beautiful wings of many colors, announces to Mary, dressed traditionally in a blue cloak, that she will bring into the world a son, Jesus. In the distance, to the left, the painter depicts Adam and Eve, chased out of Paradise for having eaten the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. This theme was common in Tuscany during Fra Angelico’s time. In fact, he painted it at least three times.

Inside, outside When Fra Angelico painted The Annunciation, Italian artists discovered the mathematical rules for depicting space in perspective. The artist applied these rules perfectly when painting Mary’s home. Its architecture is very modern for the time, with columns and a loggia, which is a kind of covered terrace. However, Mary is way too big to fit within her loggia. If she were to stand, her head would touch the ceiling.

A Jumb le of DETAI LS

A painter of divine goodness The figures in Fra Angelico’s paintings are given gentle faces that are full of kindness. He didn’t seek to represent reality but rather that which inspired his faith in God. Pink and gold accentuate the very particular soft light in his pieces.

A swallow, some roses, a palm tree, Adam and Eve, a dove, gold embroidery, flowers, a lemon tree, a prayer book, sun rays, the face of the angel Gabriel . . . Whether decorative elements or the central subject of the painting, Fra Angelico painted everything with precision to captivate the viewer. Perched between Mary and Gabriel, the swallow symbolizes the return of spring, the start of new life, as Jesus’s birth was for Christians.

PRECIOUS BLUE During the Middle Ages, the brightest of blues was made using lapis lazuli, a semiprecious stone that was as expensive as gold. It was therefore reserved for the noblest figures and sacred objects in a painting: kings, queens, and of course Mary’s cloak.

the arnolfini portrait Jan Van Eyck • (1390–1441) 1434

B Fra Angelico

Oil on wood

32 1/4 x 23 5/8 in.

National Gallery, London

Van Eyck the inventor

orn in 1390, Jan van Eyck worked in the Netherlands, then in Lille for the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good. He was charged with secret missions throughout Europe. When the duke died, he moved to Bruges, where he continued to paint; in 1434, he painted The Arnolfini Portrait. Thanks to Van Eyck, the technique of oil painting was perfected: he improved the use of medium for mixing colors and, as a result, succeeded in painting very thin layers that were nearly transparent. Van Eyck is the master of Renaissance painting in Northern Europe.

A mysterious mirror In the middle of the painting, on the back wall, Van Eyck painted a minutely decorated mirror. In its reflection, you can see the whole room—its furniture, the couple seen from behind, the window, and the chandelier. Two other men appear in the mirror as well. Is that the painter himself or visitors being welcomed by the couple?

A very rich couple The painting is a portrait of a couple. Many details point to their wealth: they wear fur, the bedroom’s furniture is finely sculpted, and the rug is oriental. There are even oranges along the windowsill; at the time, this fruit was considered a luxury. The couple is the Italian merchant Giovanni Arnolfini, who lived in the Netherlandish city of Bruges, and his wife, Giovanna Cenami.

too real? graffit i No, that’s not graffiti in the middle of the painting. Under the mirror on the back wall the painter signed his name: Johannes de eyck fuit hic 1434 (Jan van Eyck was here).

Van Eyck depicted reality in the most faithful way possible. Reflections, lights, and darks are painted in a precise manner. Even the coat of the dog, a symbol of loyalty, is painted hair by hair. This was unprecedented. Van Eyck obtained this precision through his mastery of oil painting, which allowed him to paint layer upon layer of translucent paint. To a modern viewer, the scene might seem artificial: everything is immobile, the figures appear stiff.

A painting with messages Why is there only one candle in the chandelier? Why does the couple seem sad? Who are the two figures reflected in the mirror? Why does the couple wear fur when it’s spring,

when trees are in bloom? Why are there wood clogs on the side of the painting? Answer these questions in your own way.

The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America Matt Kracht An illustrated guide to and compendium of all the stupid birds in our backyards. A snarky illustrated guide to birds, equal parts profane and funny, based on the eponymous Tumblr. The bulk of the book features 50 birds (real birds assigned names that properly describe the emotions they evoke, like the Goddamned Canada Goose, the Solitary Sand Pooper, the White-Breasted Butt Nugget) and the reasons why they suck, all rendered in affectionate and angry watercolour and ink. Each illustration is accompanied by a host of fun facts about the dumb bird in question: its annoying call, its dumb migratory pattern, its downright tacky markings, and so on. Also included are handy birding tips, migration maps, and other pointers that help give a full context on how frustratingly stupid birds are.

Author Details Matt Kracht was introduced to amateur ornithology in the fourth grade and has never gotten over the trauma. A professional designer and art director by day, he writes and makes art by night. He lives in Seattle with his wife, where they enjoy gazing out the window at the beautiful waters of the Puget Sound and making fun of birds. Publication

We know animal humour is a category that sells and keeps selling, but there isn't a lot of competition specifically about birds. The author combines sharp humour with a real guide, and his voice is both accessible and new. The bird names and descriptors are meant to be shared with anyone who likes birds or just needs a laugh. The humour is immediate and not just one-note. We know there is a huge community of serious birders (people who purchase guidebooks and field guides, who go birding, etc.) and that birds and bird art is hugely popular. The Tumblr received reviews from Vice and The Verge, The Mercury News blog, Small Pond Science, and thousands of comments from its Tumblr followers.

The story of Libertatia begins with a gentleman-turned-pirate named James Misson, who took to the seas to seek his fortune.

On the coast of Madagascar in the 17th century, a democratic, anti-authoritarian and anti-slavery community populated by pirates and former slaves flourished for 25 years.

Libertatia

On a French privateering ship called the Victoire, Misson met a Dominican priest named Caraccioli who possessed some truly radical ideas. Caraccioli convinced Misson that organized religion was a tool to oppress the masses and that slavery was an affront to God's creation.

After the Victoire's captain was killed in battle, Misson was proclaimed captain. He named Caraccioli his lieutenant. Or maybe it never existed at all.

They swore themselves to the cause of liberty and sailed for the Cape of Good Hope, attacking any slave ship they came across.

"The Trading for those of our own Species, cou'd never be agreeable to the Eyes of divine Justice: That no Man had Power of Liberty of another!"*

They freed the slaves and invited them to join the Victoire's crew.

*From A General History of the Pyrates.

They raided merchant ships to fund their mission, but spared the crews and captains they defeated.

All treasure was shared equally among the captain and crew.

: D D TE E N H IZ IO IG R T R HO BU PY T I O U TR C T A IS O D N R

The pirates shed their old nationalities, and declared themselves "liberi." Rounding the Cape of Good Hope, the Victoire headed north toward the Comoros Islands with a trail of ruined slavers in its wake.

On Johanna Island, Captain Misson and his crew helped a native queen fight off a challenge to her throne by her brother.

The liberi created their own language, a mixture of their various native tongues and the Malagasy language that the locals spoke.

They built a fortified town and port.

After the victory, many of the Victoire's crew stayed on Johanna and married into local families. But Johanna was still ruled by a queen. Captain Misson and Caraccioli had grander ambitions.

They sailed the Victoire to nearby Madagascar, found a bay on the northern tip of the island, and founded a colony called Libertatia.

They cleared the surrounding jungle and built farms.

For 25 years, the liberi ventured out from their hidden base to attack slave ships and raid merchant vessels.

Libertatia was governed as a democracy, where groups of ten men elected a voting member to a council advising a leader, who was elected every three years.

Their numbers, buoyed by freed slaves and liberty-loving pirates, grew.

Around the World in 80 Novels A global journey inspired by writers from every continent Henry Russell Whether you're a regular globe-trotter or an armchair traveller, these 80 works conjure up the spirit of place for locations on every continent. Sometimes the setting of a novel is as important as the story – where would Dickens be without London, or Edith Wharton without New York? Who can read Jamaica Inn and not want to visit Bodmin Moor, or enjoy Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and not wonder whether perhaps Botswana should be on your bucket list? Covering every corner of the world, from the most visited cities of Europe to the rural outposts of Australia, there are classics by famous authors, alongside works by new writers. Sometimes a native of the country is best able to convey its true nature, but then an outside observer can recreate the attraction of the unknown. Whether you have already decided on a destination and want to read something to get a feel for the place, or you are just looking for ideas for your next getaway, Around the World in 80 Novels is full of inspirational reads that will fire your imagination and have you reaching for your suitcase.

The eloquent affirmations and vibrant illustrations of No One Does It Like You combine in a fresh, timely way to bring a needed message to millennial women, a way that is wise, beautiful, surprising, and never saccharine or preachy. The language is singular, personal, memorable:

Regard yourself as the moon; wash everything in your light. / When you’re tempted to say “I don’t know,” consider that you do, and try that instead. / Gild the Kingdom of your brain; Keep researching / You can be true evidence of goodness for others. And the art, filled with characters that every reader will relate to, sets the affirmations in a real moment, reinforcing the idea that this is a book to celebrate everything that makes us us – and the message that you, the reader, are not alone.

Spawned in the intensely fertile music scene that blossomed in and around Seattle in the late 1980s, Nirvana instantly distinguished itself by virtue of the singular passion – Kurt Cobain. Few were prepared for worldwide Nirvana-mania set off by the 1991 release of Nevermind. With the instantaneous success of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', which stormed the charts. In Utero, was the last studio recording released by Nirvana. The demons that made Cobain's writing so powerful took their toll; he took his own life after only five albums. Nirvana's influence is certain to be felt for many years to come. The unique status this band occupies, as representatives of the time and as timeless songwriters, is revealed through interviews with those close to the band, coupled with intensive archive research.

Author Details Gillian G. Gaar is the author of books on Green Day, Elvis Presley and Nirvana titles such as Nirvana: In Utero. Her work has appeared in countless publications including Mojo, Rolling Stone, Trouble Girls: The Rolling Stone Book Of Women In Rock; Goldmine: The Beatles Digest; and The Nirvana Companion, Goldmine, and the Seattle Experience Music Project museum.

Every technique, activity, and thoughtful design element Simone Davies proposes in The Montessori Toddler has at its heart a message of mindfulness, of joy, and of acceptance of one's child and his or her natural curiosity and desire to learn about the world. Simone addresses the practical ways to bring Montessori into your home. She also addresses the emotional side of Montessori parenting a toddler – how to handle a tantrum or picky eating, how to appreciate a child's wonder and curiosity even when it means they're slow to put on their shoes. Unlike traditional parenting how-to, this is a beautiful book to hold and read, with lovely collage illustrations, and photos of homes that illustrate the Montessori ideals.

Prologue

n the summer of 2018, I came face-to-face with myself on the dance floor of the legendary Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. The occasion was the unveiling of my waxwork, which was destined

for the town’s Madame Tussauds, and it has to be one of the most bizarre moments of my life. The life-sized effigy, lovingly crafted by the Tussauds’ amazing team, was so realistic that when I was standing next to it my own mum had trouble telling us apart. It was unnerving to see me the way that the rest of the world did, complete with every grey hair, wrinkle, skin blemish and freckle. At the age of 53 I had finally found myself – literally. Joking aside, the incredible honour of being immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds left me in a reflective mood. Who would have believed this boy from Ballarat would one day stand alongside the most legendary names in showbusiness, sport and world politics at the world-famous waxwork attraction? How had that chubby kid who dreamed of dancing on the West End stage ended up here? Since I last put pen to paper, for Tales from the Dance Floor, my life has taken many twists and turns and, of course, the odd plié. I have celebrated my half-century – in my customary lavish 1

I have discovered my ancestry, by appearing on Who Do You Think You Are?, and I have, sadly, lost my father. Throughout it all, Strictly Come Dancing has remained a constant in my life. We witnessed the triumphs of the most amazing finals ever and the sad departure of key players, including Len Goodman and Bruce Forsyth, but the show still goes from strength to strength, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to say. As readers of my first two books will know, dance has been my world, and the reason I have had such a varied and enjoyable career so far. So join me, once again, for a twirl around the dance floor of my life.

How Music Can Make You Better Indre Viskontas Learn how your mind transforms a collection of sounds into a powerful human experience – one that connects us, heals us, and changes us for the better.

And why are some pieces considered "great music" while others are labeled guilty pleasures?

Whether it's a huge spread in the New York Times, posts of her sketches on social media (which garner by far the most likes of anything on her channels-more than her ceramics and even Wilma!), or the retail and resale market for her consumer ceramics (google "Rae Dunn mugs" to glimpse the fanaticism her designs engender), Dunn is a powerhouse brand and a dedicated self-promoter. The robust categories of self-help creativity and art instruction show no signs of slowing down. Recent titles like Start Where You Are (115k Bookscan) and You Are Here: An Owner's Manual for Dangerous Minds (46.5k Bookscan) demonstrate the continuing strength of this market. It's always thrilling when your favourite creator lifts the curtain and lets you in on what happens behind the scenes. Rae Dunn is a completely self-taught artist whose sketchbooks feel aspirational but not intimidating – her work, her art practice, and her life are fascinating in their own rights, and the how-to aspect gives this book a strong commercial hook.

Author Details Under a full moon in January 2014, Shewolfe and Beatrix Gravesguard (also known as Helen Tseng and Melissa Graeber) beamed the first instalment of Astral Projection Radio Hour on the radio waves of BFF.fm, a community station based in San Francisco. It soon became one of the most popular shows of the network, known for its conversational, authentic, and playful take on occult topics. Since the show's inception, they have observed a growing community hungry for a loose, interpretive, witchy spiritualism that parallels the rise of intersectional feminism, queerness, social justice, mental health awareness, self-care, and DIY culture in the face of an unpredictable world.

Melissa and Helen know the ins and outs of astrology and wiccanism, but they don't take it too seriously. They strike the perfect balance of expertise and lighthearted fun. The interest in crystals, spirituality, and wicca shows that there's a new audience of people interested in the mystical and occult but without so much woowoo. This hits that audience, with a pretty package to boot, and it can appeal across categories with its combination of astrology and wicca. This book offers a fresh take on astrology, using the Equal Houses theory to show readers that they can understand themselves through the lens of any sign. It's fun and modern, and offers some witchy inspiration for the modern mystic. This is not your dusty book of astrology or your mouldering book of spells. With its fresh and graphic look, fun and not-self-serious tone, and inclusive message for readers, this is astrology for a new generation of horoscope fans.

The New Rules of Pregnancy What to eat, do, think about, and let go of while your body is making a baby Adrienne L Simone and Jaqueline Worth and Danielle Claro A modern guide to pregnancy that distills medical expertise into short but deep doses of actionable advice, covering the entire pregnancy and “fourth trimester,” by two renowned NYC doctors and with the calm, supportive voice of Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health Rules.

Picture this: a calm, chill pregnancy book with the magical soothing powers of a yoga class. That’s the approach of The New Pregnancy Rules. Here, the experts guide you, the modern pregnant woman, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest, compassionate, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby’s development, it’s all about you, and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent, busy reader (who, somewhere inside, is shouting, “Just tell me what to do!”). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered – from the practical details (“Can I eat unpasteurised honey?”) to the complex issues (“Is this normal exhaustion and depletion, or is it because I stopped taking my antidepressant in order to be pregnant?”). The book also covers that critical “fourth trimester,” because once the baby is born, self-care typically goes out the window, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth – two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest, calmest, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book’s voice – motivating, supportive, real – comes from Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health Rules .

Authoritative and comprehensive: Covers every aspect of pregnant life, including the often overlooked “fourth trimester.” Accessible: A reader can dip in and out of this book – each spread is its own moment, and the book does not need to be read from front to back. Filled with lush and inspirational photos, it’s the book that looks the way you want your pregnancy to feel.

CLASSIC CLIMBS OF THE ALPS The Alps are the true mountain giants of the Tour de France. They are the biggest, the longest and the highest mountains that cycle races have ever climbed. From the 48km road to the Col de lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Iseran, to the Cime de la Bonette that sits over 2,850m up in the clouds, the high passes of the Alps are the rooftop of the Tour. The drama that has taken place here for more than 100 years has seldom failed to live up to these grandest of settings. Opposite: Vast valleys and soaring, snow-capped peaks define the landscape of the Alps and dwarf the riders of the Tour de France.

Alpe d’Huez

Length: 13.8km Start: 744m Ascent: 1017m

Featuring the most famous set of hairpin bends in the world, Alpe d’Huez is the very epitome of the Tour de France in the mountains. From the 1950s to the present day, the “Hollywood climb” of cycling has seen some of the most dramatic and iconic moments in Tour history. The Alpe! It’s like all the Alps encapsulated in one mountain. Gérard Ejnès, author and journalist Alpe d’Huez is to the Tour de France what Wembley Stadium is to football, what Monte Carlo is to Formula One motor racing, what Wimbledon is to tennis and what Lord’s is to cricket. It is Glastonbury, the storming of the Bastille, a hall of fame, and so much more. Even though the Tour moves around France from year to year and doesn’t always include a trip here, the famous 21 hairpins from Bourg d’Oisans form the most famous arena in cycling. The only place that can even come close to rivalling Alpe d’Huez as a “home ground” for the Tour is the ChampsElysées – which in over a century of the Tour has only hosted the finish since 1974. The Alpe has been called “the Hollywood climb” of the Tour de France and like the Los Angeles Boulevard, where movie stars’ handprints are set in the ground along the walk of fame, here the names of every one of the winners of the 29 stages to finish there are marked on one of the 21 hairpin bends. Tourists and amateur riders swarm to ride the climb throughout the summer months. Each time that it features in the Tour de France hundreds of thousands of fans make a beeline to one of the 21 bends. Alpe d’Huez is the very best of the Tour: picnics made of fresh fruit and jambon beurre baguettes, long afternoons spent in the July sun catching the odd word of race reportage on a far-off tinny

radio, the slow crescendo leading to the thud of helicopter rotors and the race’s arrival. Alpe d’Huez is frenzied fans whipped up into a trance-like state of excitement. It is colour, noise, heat, and drama. Why does this climb have such a venerated role in the race? It’s not the highest – just 1,815m at the top, almost a full vertical kilometre lower than the nearby Col du Galibier. At 13.8 kilometres it’s not the longest either; nor does it have the same history as the likes of the Col du Tourmalet, having first been featured in 1952. “I think it’s a pretty dull climb,” said 1992 stage winner Andy Hampsten. “Sure, there’s all the history of it, but in my mind it’s more of a cycling stadium than a beautiful road.” Perhaps it’s due to the vast number of fans, including the thousands of orangeclad Dutch fans that congregate around hairpin seven or “Dutch Corner”. Perhaps it’s because it is named “Alpe”, the clearest signal possible to the general public, telling them to expect winding roads, spectacular scenery and Toblerone-shaped snowy peaks. Perhaps it’s even the fact that the hairpins are numbered to 21, which has a certain ring to it (21 is the card game and there are generally 21 stages in the modern Tour). Never mind that from bottom to top there are actually 22 hairpins (a bend between numbers six and seven isn’t counted).

Crucially Alpe d’Huez was perfect for the modern-day Tour de France; it was bright, noisy, short (riders could climb it in a little over 40 minutes, ideal for a TV show) and action-packed. It is where fans cheer and jeer the riders; Lance Armstrong was almost pushed off his bike during the 2004 time trial, and the Alpe was where Chris Froome and his team-mates suffered the worst of their verbal abuse in 2015. The Sky team car made it to the top covered in beer, flour and all sorts else, with both wing mirrors smashed in. For good or ill, the climb was a far cry from the earlier long ascents where the empty mountain landscapes dwarfed the riders and the florid writing of the early reporters embellished tales of heroics and daring. This was cycling for the TV age. There have only been 12 years since 1976 when the Tour hasn’t returned to Alpe d’Huez; in 1979 it hosted two consecutive stage finishes, and in 2013 riders climbed it twice in one stage, looping back round via the Col de Sarenne. “Alpe d’Huez definitively transformed the way the Grande Boucle ran,” said Tour commentator and author Jacques Augendre. “No other stage has had such drama.”

Opposite: Thousands of fans on Dutch Corner patiently await the arrival of the Tour on the grassy banks on Alpe d’Huez.

Alpe d’Huez

Route to the Summit Twenty-one hairpins and 13.8 kilometres; the route to Alpe d’Huez is a moment for every rider of the Tour de France to savour, even if the sections over 11% and the high-pressure atmosphere of jumpedup, screaming fans means they don’t always enjoy it.

Opposite: Fans line every inch of road on one of the 21 most famous hairpins bends on Earth. Above left: They flock to Alpe d’Huez in their thousands. Above right: A riot of orange: Dutch Corner on race day.

t Dutch Corner

t Bourg d’Oisans

Hairpin number 15 (or the seventh from the bottom) is cycling mecca for Dutch fans. It began when Joop Zoetemelk became the first Dutchman to win on the climb, doing so in 1976, and built as his countrymen won seven of the next 12 summit finishes on Alpe d’Huez. On race day at “Dutch Corner” the hot air is thick with the scent of beer, smoke, barbecue and suncream and the day’s soundtrack is an endless Europop mix tape. Almost everything – clothing, wigs, facepaint – is orange. In the 1990s when Michael Boogerd was one of the best cyclists in the Netherlands, the corner would rock to the beat of “Boogy is de beste”, whose title doesn’t require much translation to get the gist of the song across. The proud people of the Netherlands have had to wait a while since the last Dutch winner to emerge through the airhorns and flares of the bend. That was GertJan Theunisse, who won in 1989.

DUTCH CORNER

Alpe d’Huez is famous for being the finish of another grand cycling event: La Marmotte. One of the first of the big European cyclosportifs (mass participation amateur rides), the event attracts thousands of riders and is still regularly oversubscribed by thousands more. Beginning in the town at the foot of the climb, Le Bourg d’Oisans, the 175km route heads over the Col de la Croix de Fer and the Col du Galibier and then finishes on the top of Alpe d’Huez. It’s a gruelling challenge, even for the serious amateur, and this particular route has never been attempted by the Tour de France. Bourg d’Oisans itself is a typical alpine small town; in winter it buzzes with ski shops and in the summer the bike shops take over. It sits on one of the main alpine arteries linking the city of Grenoble with the town of Briançon. The road to Alpe d’Huez crosses a pair of roundabouts before heading straight for the imposing rock face, at which point a sharp left turn takes riders under the inflatable gantry and immediately on to the climb

BOURG D'OISANS

The beginning part of the climb to Alpe d’Huez is also the hardest. From the left-hand turn at the start of the climb, the road doesn’t drop below 10% for two kilometres. It’s at this point that the hairpin bends are most spaced out, making the climb feel a lot longer and harder than it actually is. From this point on, each hairpin counts down from 21 and features a small plaque with the winners of stages on Alpe d’Huez. Bend 21 is Fausto Coppi (1952) and Lance Armstrong (2001); bend 20 is for Joop Zoetemelk (1976) and Iban Mayo (2003)

The first small village on the climb from Bourg d’Oisans, La Garde sits on a straight section between hairpins 16 and 15. Its little bell tower marks the beginning of a slightly easier section of the climb, where gradients stick to roughly 8.5% for five kilometres. Looking ahead, riders can see the road zigzagging up the mountain and out of sight; with just three kilometres gone, there’s still a lot of climbing left. However this section affords spectacular views down to the village and, below it, the valley floor.

The little settlement that gives the climb its name feels remarkably busy for somewhere situated at 1,400m altitude and nine kilometres up from the valley floor. At this point riders have waved goodbye to the views down to the River Romanche (for the time being) but can spot the grassy tops of the mountains around them emerging out of the forests. With four kilometres to the summit, Huez marks the beginning of the final tricky ramp, one which includes a kilometre at 11.5% average followed by another at 9%.

The one kilometre to go marker indicates the start of the temporary roadside barriers and represents the arrival to a safe haven for the riders of the Tour. The barriers help corral the enormous crowds, who before this point have left little more than a single corridor of tarmac available to ride through (making overtaking particularly tricky). At this point riders are grateful that the road turns to a gentle false flat of around 4%, setting up a high-speed finish. This is the last chance for riders hoping to avoid a short sprint finish to drop others.

Desmond Morris (b. January 24, 1928) is a zoologist and ethnologist, who rose to fame in 1967 when he published The Naked Ape. He earned an undergraduate degree at the University of Birmingham, and then a Ph.D. at Oxford University. In the 1960s, his TV show Zoo Time for ITV drew a wide audience of British viewers. His work includes that as curator of the mammal section in the London Zoo. His research focuses on animal and human behaviour explained from a sociobiological and zoological point of view. He has authored many books, and has produced and curated a series of popular science TV programs. Morris is also famous for his painting, significantly contributing to the British Surrealist movement. His first oneman exhibition took place in 1948, and since then he has never stopped showing his art, his work often being compared to that of Miró. In 1957 he curated an exhibition of paintings and drawings made by chimpanzees at the Institute of Contemporary Art Institute in London. Desmond Morris has always been a great football fan, and was technical director of the Oxford United Football Club from 1977 to 1984. He is still actively involved in broadcasting, painting, and soccer.

Same book as the originally released title in 2016 (9780847849659) but at a lower price. Desmond Morris is not a journalist or ex-soccer player, but a man of science. He studied philosophy and is a zoologist holding the title of director of the mammals section of the London zoo. An acclaimed painter in recent years, Morris again enthusiastically tackles, after 40 years, the original dialogue that began with readers in the 1970s, with the theory of the naked ape. When Morris became the director of a professional football club in Oxford, Morris found his interest in the game mounting to the level of an obsession. The result is this extraordinary book, where he writes about the players and managers, the directors and the officials, the supporters and the fans and the game itself, as if he were an explorer visiting a fascinating native tribe for the first time. The analogy is valid – football has rituals and ceremonies, superstitions and beliefs just as remarkable as those of any remote, exotic culture on a faraway island. Jose Mourinho Preface. The worldwide acclaimed coach knows Desmond Morris, and had offered to write the preface to this book. His presence plays an appealing role and helps to address the title – outside of the niche field of Morris's usual readers – to all the football lovers across the world, from young boys up to older adults. Soccer is growing in popularity in Australia. In 2018, SBS counted a massive 9.1 million viewers tuning in to watch the FIFA World Cup.

The Tales series is finding success with a winning formula of nostalgic storytelling, cultural celebration, and gorgeous illustration. This title will build the series' momentum, boosting backlist sales for the previous titles and drawing in new readers. Japanese culture is the subject of fascination and fierce devotion from people around the world. It has particular resonance with nerd culture-including Comic Con goers and readers of fantasy stories and fairy tales and Tales of Japan fits perfectly into that Venn diagram. The existing publishing of Japanese folklore mostly consists of dusty, dated editions more suited to academic study than gifting. Nothing else offers the affordable price point and lovely reading experience of the Tales series.

Chameleon Aura Billy Chapata Zimbabwean poet Billy Chapata provides a thought-provoking take on the universal experiences of love, pain, and what comes next through messages of empowerment. This collection of poetry and prose will justify heartache and inspire the fortitude to survive and prosper. Chameleon Aura presents a harmonious blend of experience and advice through a chaptered series of prose and poetry that focuses on shared experiences in love and loss. Emboldened words and phrases capture the essence of the author's message and distinguish his unique style. Chapata's touching narrative celebrates humanity for their biological resilience and undeniable worth. This collection leaves readers warm with hope for growth, rebirth, and, most prominently, self-acceptance.

Author Details Billy Chapata is a Zimbabwean writer, author, and creative based in Atlanta, Georgia. Billy's work aims to touch on the concepts of love, healing, connections, and growth, through poetry, storytelling, and narrative. Writing came into his life as a means of sustenance, self-love, and empowerment: Billy writes to heal, he writes to grow, he writes to survive. His poetically infused words, memorable lessons, and bittersweet experiences have become a point of resonance and comfort for many across the world.

Recent studies have shown the tremendous health benefits (mental and physical) of getting children outside and parents are eager to find ways to get their kids away from screens and into nature. The prompts in this journal make it easy for any family, anywhere to integrate outdoor activities in their usual routines to promote health, curiosity, and happiness. This journal is all a family needs to turn a simple outing into a memorable adventure, no matter where they are. No vacation bookings, event tickets, or expensive gear required! The books on spending time with kids and the outdoors are either text-driven books targeted at parents or juvenile, disposable workbook targeted at kids, not something a family would keep as a lovely memento. The Family Adventure Journal will appeal to both children and adults with a beautiful design and illustrations to give the package an elevated, timeless, and keepsake quality. This attractive illustrated package will merchandise well alongside travel, nature, and camping wares and make the perfect add-on gift to complement a set of binoculars, a magnifying glass, or a Swiss Army knife.

Live Your Own Wild Life Catherine Lepage Modern life is full of stress, but these cute and quirky animals can help! In this quirky guided journal, a cast of charming animals invites journallers to unpack their anxieties, aspirations, doubts, and dreams. Artist Catherine Lepage shares advice and encouragement with plenty of humour by illustrating each prompt with an anthropomorphised creature. These animals embody the pressures we humans face-and show us how to transcend them. A duckling resists the unfair beauty standards of the rubber duck, and the sloth overcomes stereotypes to become a champion bicycle racer. Pithy, funny, and beautifully illustrated throughout, this journal is a refreshing tool for better living.

Lepage brilliantly packages broadly appealing advice in a refreshingly idiosyncratic style. The prompts could help work through anything from chronic anxiety to a career change, while Lepage's voice and illustrations give the journal specificity and a unique appeal. Live Your Own Wild Life engages a wide audience while making each person feel special as they see themselves reflected in charming animal counterparts. This journal addresses the increasingly talked about topics of stress and anxiety on the one hand and better living through introspection on the other. Lepage brings a refreshing candour and humour to both subjects. Lepage's previous book, Thin Slices of Anxiety, resonated strongly with readers. This journal will speak to an even bigger audience by widening the scope beyond anxiety and offering a practical tool for beating stress. We have a strong track with books that channel advice through adorable animals. Lepage pivots this powerful combination into an interactive format, encouraging animal lovers to connect directly with the charming critters that fill the journal's pages.

Skedaddle! Karina Portuondo and Travis Nichols A travel journal with a unique perspective that guides travellers to maintain a sense of discovery and a sense of humour. This offbeat travel journal prompts adventurers to document the weird and wonderful occurrences that make every trip unique, from awkward social encounters to favourite foods eaten, from fun facts discovered to things that got lost along the way. The back pages feature plenty of space for miscellaneous notes plus conversions and other helpful references for while on the road. With cool stickers, a pocket for stashing little treasures, fun quirky illustrations throughout, and a slim portable size, this travel companion is as one of a kind as the journeys it will capture.

Author Details Karina Portuondo and Travis Nichols have travelled together through over 25 countries on 6 continents so far. They've explored by air and sea, rail and bus, balloon and squeaky bike, and on both sides of the street. Portuondo and Nichols have (supposedly mandatory) international driver's licenses and yellow fever-vaccination certificates that they've weirdly never had to show to anyone. They live in San Francisco. Publication

The alloted writing spaces and prompts in this book allow users to capture their experiences quickly, easily, and on the go with a mix of lines, boxes, and unlined areas.

Historic bookshops. Grand libraries. Hidden cafés. Literary Paris celebrates the bookish delights of Paris in a stunning photographic tour by Paris in Colour author Nichole Robertson. Turning her lens onto spots throughout the city both legendary and little-known, Robertson highlights quiet moments that every book-lover savors-inviting café scenes, comfy chairs, enticing book nooks-and the weathered charm of places steeped in centuries of literary history. Quotes by great writers-think Balzac, Colette-are interspersed throughout, and an index of locations featured and a timeline are also included. This immersive homage to the literary culture of the City of Light will transport and inspire bibliophiles and Francophiles alike.

Paris + books! This book is brimming with delights for both bibliophiles and Francophiles, two audiences that we know are huge, avid, and always looking for new gifts. Fans of Paris will love this unique angle on their beloved city, while literary types will love being transported in both words and pictures to the heart of a city that has inspired centuries of great literature. There are plenty of photographic Paris books out there, but none that capture it from this unique angle: This book is like a tour through Paris from a book-loving local complete with pauses along the stroll to appreciate the words of beloved writers. Similarly, while travel guides to Paris's literary spots abound, none take the richly visual approach of this book. This book immediately calls out to its consumer and presents itself as the perfect gift for booklovers and Francophiles. It will be perfect for Paris assortments, springtime travel roundups, and holiday gift tables in the fall. Robertson will draw fans of her photography who know her through her Paris in Colour publishing, and she'll also draw fans of Obvious State – a design studio where she and her husband Evan Robertson create original art and prints, totes, mugs, and paper goods inspired by classic literature, philosophy, and poetry. Their goods are sold into over 1000 bookstores, museums, and shops worldwide.

Combining breathtaking travel photography with compelling personal narratives, She Explores shares the stories of women on unforgettable journeys – women who live out of vans, trucks, and vintage trailers, exploring wild landscapes, cooking meals over campfires, and sleeping under the stars. Here are the stories of a mother raising her children on the road and crafting her own version of the 'American dream,' a firefighter discovering her true grit on the fire line, a young marathoner on a quest to become an Olympian, and a musical duo hiking with their instruments to perform concerts deep in the wilderness. Complementing the personal narratives are practical how-tos with advice for planning your own adventure, including tips for preparing for a solo hike, must-haves for a road-trip kitchen, and where to sleep on a road trip. Beautiful, empowering, and exhilarating, She Explores is a celebration of female courage, self-reliance, and self-discovery, and a spirited invitation to explore the world on your own terms.

There's no photography-driven book celebrating female adventurers. From Jack Kerouc to John Krakaur to Bill Bryson to #vanlife, on-the-road storytelling has traditionally been dominated by a male perspective. The few female-driven books that are out there are text-heavy memoirs told from a single person's perspective. This female-driven collection presents stories from a diverse group of women-of different backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, and regions – and combines feminist values with useful tips tailored to a female audience.

The Pacific Crest Trail Hiking America's Wilderness Trail This pocket-sized gift and souvenir photo book captures the beauty of America's quintessential wilderness hiking trail. From desert California to the Washington-Canada border, the compelling photography of Bart Smith brings the entire 2,650-mile trail to life.

This beautifully illustrated book, officially published with the Pacific Crest Trail Association and now in a pocket-sized gift and souvenir format, highlights this legendary footpath with more than 170 spectacular contemporary images taken by the foremost hiking photographer in America. Readers can experience the trail as if their boots were on the path – passing by the trail blazes, taking in the surrounding wilderness at scenic overlooks, meeting other hikers at lean-tos or shelters, and freezing at the sight of bear, elk, or other majestic wildlife. Designated as one of the first two national scenic trails in 1968, the Pacific Crest Trail is a continuous footpath of more than 2,650 miles – from the Mexican to the Canadian border. It is often called the "wilderness trail" because roughly half of it runs through federal wilderness – 25 national forests, six national parks, five state parks, three national monuments, and 48 federal wilderness areas. The trail symbolises everything there is to love – and protect – in the western United States. This book is perfect for anyone interested in conservation, outdoor recreation, or American history, or for those who dream of one day becoming thru-hikers themselves.

Author Details Mark Larabee (Foreward) is the associate director of communications and marketing for the Pacific Crest Trail Association and the editor of its quarterly magazine, the PCT Communicator. A nationally recognised journalist, he spent 25 years as a newspaper reporter and editor, most recently for The Oregonian newspaper in Portland, Oregon, where he received the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news in 2007. He is co-author of the 2016 Rizzoli publication, The Pacific Crest Trail. He lives in Portland. Bart Smith is the first person to walk all 11 of America's national scenic trails. His photography has been published in

Smithsonian and National Geographic magazines, as well as in five coffee-table books. Bart has now walked and photographed more than 24,000 miles of trails, including each trail represented in this book. His website is www.walkingdownadream.com. The nonprofit Pacific Crest Trail Association is the only organisation dedicated solely to the preservation and protection of the Pacific Crest Trail. Widely recognised as the trail's champion and steward, the Sacramento, California-based PCTA achieves its work through the strength of its partnerships, staff, volunteers, and the rest of the PCT community.

Random Royale In Fortnite Battle Royale, the hero you control is randomly given to you. But don’t stress because all the heroes have the same powers and abilities!

QUIET TIME

Click on Settings in the top right of your screen, then scroll to the Wireless Controller tab. You’ll be shown the layout controls for playing Battle Royale on your platform. Study these carefully, especially basic functions like moving, sprinting, weapon aiming, weapon selecting and jumping.

To get up to speed with controlling your hero, try landing in a very quiet and remote spot on the island next to the ocean. If there are no enemies around and you can loot a weapon, start using the controls to shoot and build. Don’t worry if the storm wipes you out as this is just valuable practice time as you learn the basics!

BUILDER PRO

VICTORY DANCE

Using the Builder Pro console setting means you can build much more quickly in the game. You can construct a life-saving ramp or wall in the blink of an eye without having to tap a stack of buttons!

Dancing isn’t a vital part of gameplay, but it’s awesome to show off some slick bounces and have a laugh! On Xbox and PS4, the down arrow on D-Pad busts out your dance emotes. Have a practice in the lobby area.

Discover the basic bits of your gaming screen… The left box shows ammo loaded into your weapon, with ammo you have remaining on the right.

LOBBY PRACTICE

Health (green) and shield (blue) points.

Before the battle bus takes off, you’ll get a small amount of time to roam in the lobby area. Use this time to practise the controls, try some basic building functions, or just try jumping and crouching. It’s a good warm up before you land on the island.

A Friend for Henry Jenn Bailey A book that will do for kids on the autism spectrum – and their friends and classmates – what Enemy Pie has done for bullying. Henry, a boy on the autism spectrum, has been on the lookout for a friend in his class. His best efforts are often misunderstood, but after an art project mix-up and a Reading Time setback, Henry finds a way to build a friendship in this charming and reassuring picture book.

Author Details Jenn Bailey is an author, editor, documentarian, blue ribbon pie baker, and eager traveler. She received her MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Born and raised in Rhode Island, she now calls Kansas City, Missouri, home where she lives with her husband, three sons, and numerous cats and dogs. Jenn was inspired to write Henry's story after watching her own sons, one of whom is on the autism spectrum, navigate finding a friend. Publication

Representing kids with disabilities is a vital aspect of the #WeNeedDiverseBooks movement. There is a need in the market for books like this in which the main character's disability is part of the story, but is not the point of the story. Parents of children on the spectrum will be able to share this book with their children who will see themselves in Henry, providing a valuable mirror for kids not often represented in picture books. This book, which gently represents common autistic behaviour within a broadly relatable story, will be readily used by teachers to spark learning, understanding, and empathy around the topic of disability. Jenn Bailey is a promising debut author, who has drawn from her own experience as a mother of a boy on the spectrum in writing this book. In 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified 1 in 68 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls) as having autism spectrum disorder in the United States alone. According to the CDC, autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability.

The first book in the series introduced Polly, a funny and smart protagonist, and her magic book. It received a starred review and was a JLG selection. Kids this age enjoy reading about the familiar and Polly and her family ring very true. In the second book, Polly's world expands to include her school. The hint of magic makes it appealing and unique. Although woven in in a way that kids won't perceive the title as "a learning book," the book will inspire lots of classroom writing activities that will be very appealing to teachers. Polly's ethnicity is never mentioned in the text, but Diana's style of illustration is such that readers of a range of backgrounds may very well see themselves in Polly.

But his real love is working with children, for whom he has published dozens of books, including the NYT bestsellers Press Here, Mix It Up!, and Let's Play! He lives in Harlem, New York City.
