Country Life's Book of Dogs
A celebration of the many breeds of dog we love, as seen through the pages of Country Life magazine, from working the fields to romping through splendid gardens to lounging in beautifully appointed sitting rooms. Throughout its 125-year history, Country Life has chronicled our love affair with dogs. This elegantly designed volume features seventy breeds based on Royal Kennel Club classifications: hounds, working dogs, terriers, gundogs, herding dogs, toys, and utility. Each breed profile includes modern and archival photographs along with history, anecdotes, and lore. Here we see the romance of English country living through a canine lens. From Jilly Cooper and her rescue greyhound to Trudie Styler's wolfhounds and many famous country estates, such as Badminton House, Belvoir Castle, Castle Howard, and Holkham Hall--as well as the Royal Family with their dogs at Balmoral, Windsor Castle, and Highgrove--the book offers an intimate look at Britain's stately houses, gardens, and gorgeous countryside. Most of today's breeds originated in Britain or were codified by the Royal Kennel Club, as covered by Country Life from its inception. The book poignantly raises awareness about breeds that are today considered vulnerable to extinction, such as the winsome Norwich terrier, the stout bull terrier, or the resolute otterhound, currently ranked most endangered. Also included are non-native breeds that have long associations with the Royal Family or the nobility--such as Pomeranians, Queen Victoria's lifelong passion, and pugs, native to China but long an aristocratic favorite.

Each of the structures featured has been adapted from its original utilitarian purpose to allow for comfortable, joyous living. Built at first as places for work, barns nevertheless often demonstrate fine craftsmanship and artistry. This volume emphasizes the rare beauty of these structures and shows throughout elegant solutions for living in these beautifully imagined homes. Soaring rafters here allow for dramatic chandeliers in one home or a wall of magnificent bookcases in another. Spaces that are unconventional in a traditional domestic sense here serve as springboards for inspiration that allow for, in one home, a spiral staircase of fantasy made from hand-planed wood, and, in another, a wall of glass that lets in the sun. At Home in The American Barn shows the way that this can be done successfully and artfully.

Nicola Harding
Harding takes the principles of English interior design--a decorating style beloved throughout the world for its embrace of color, whimsy, and true comfort--and deploys them with a universal appeal in her debut book, which features a selection of her most celebrated projects. Having moved around a lot as a child, Harding has always been interested in creating homes that evoke a sense of belonging. After designing several homes for herself, what began as a passion grew organically into a thriving career. Today Harding is known for her quintessentially British, reassuringly familiar interiors that mix traditional charm with rich atmosphere. A sense of meaning comes from deftly weaving together expertly sourced antiques and luxurious fabrics, married with craftsmanship that has a particular significance--for example, a supplier who works in a village near where a client grew up, or antiques from local dealers.  With a calming, nature-inspired palette, Harding's residential projects embrace English country-house coziness and radiate a warmth that makes each place feel personal and well lived in, while her hospitality commissions are bold and spirited, often inspired by literary or historic characters. This first book delves into Harding's design philosophy, which, at its heart, prioritizes human experience above all else.

The Last Miracle
A unique collection of stories--presented together here for the first time--from one of the great voices of the European Jewish diaspora This collection from one of the great pre-war writers, himself a member of Europe's Jewish diaspora, highlights the precarious position that Jewish people have occupied throughout millennia, in stories that move across centuries and nations but show the unchanging pressure of outsider status. But these stories are about individuals, too--in Zweig's treatment, the particular passions of particular hearts will always blaze out brightly against the levelling forces of history. In 'Mendel the Bibliophile', a bookseller's obsession with his wares blinds him to the progress of war and the threat it poses to his own life. Monomania is also an overpowering force in 'Downfall of the Heart', in which an aging father cannot accept his daughter's embrace of new freedoms. 'The Miracles of Life' is a masterfully ironic tale, which plays with the tension between faith and morality, society and individual, against the backdrop of 1500s Antwerp and the Dutch rebellion against Spanish rule. 'In the Snow' sees a Jewish community in medieval Eastern Europe fleeing the violence of a Christian sect. And in the longest piece in the collection, the novella The Buried Candelabrum, we go all the way back to the ancient world, where the recovery of a sacred seven-branched candlestick stolen during the sack of Rome will become a young Jewish boy's life's mission.
