Corridors Of Uncertainty
The 2007 World Cup changed the terms of the debate around cricket. For India, the tournament turned out to be a national tragedy; for the first time in years there was a palpable weakening of the foundations of the country's universal obsession. For the hosts, West Indies, it almost put an end to the dream of creating a unified political, social and economic entity. For Australia, the world cup triumph was accompanied by a sense of deja vu which was evident in the muted celebrations.In the final analysis, for reasons of money, the ninth edition of the cup was bloated to accommodate sixteen teams for over a month and a half. Yet the tournament had no distinctive quality and no particular innovation, its format was dull and its title rendered meaningless in the process. What it did generate was heated discussions about the market, about the nature of profits, and about sportsmanship or the increasing lack of it.In this book, cricket historian Boria Majumdar analyses the many events and aspects of the World Cup, from the shocking death of Bob Woolmer to the dwindling television revenues in India. He examines the controversial legacy of the tournament and the importance of cricket, if any, in the shaping of contemporary societies.
The Harmonious Home
A holistic approach to creating a home using the colors, patterns, and textures found in the natural world, from the author of Living with Color and Living with Pattern. Hailed by Vogue for her "approachable patterns and textiles" Rebecca Atwood shares a new method for styling your interiors, one guided by nature: specifically landscapes that capture your imagination. As an artist, she has found that the details of a landscape helps make design accessible, and when decorating a home, it can even direct the decisions you make. Think of a place outside that contains a mood you want to bring into your home, such as the beach or a garden you saw on your travels. Identify the colors in its landscape and you can choose a room's paint colors. Pick out its textures and you can decide what materials--rugs, wallpaper, upholstery fabric--to bring into the room. The Harmonious Home walks you through six different landscapes--Dunes, Ocean, Field, Forest, Garden, and City--and shows you how to pull together color and pattern combinations you might not have imagined on your own that evoke the feeling of the place without looking overly thematic. Throughout, you'll find gorgeous photographs of interiors around the country and expert advice from celebrated interior designers for selecting lighting, a floor plan, window treatments, and more. With endless inspiration for building a room around a mood, The Harmonious Home takes you from fabric and paint swatches to a harmonious design that feels like home.

Biltmore House
The largest house in America and an example of Gilded Age magnificence, Biltmore opens its doors for a tour of both its grand and belowstairs rooms in the first book on the iconic residence in more than thirty years. George W. Vanderbilt created one of the greatest self-sustaining American country estates of the late nineteenth century--at its center, Richard Morris Hunt's splendid 250-room French Renaissance ch璽teau. Beyond the acres of gardens designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and the imposing castle exterior lies one of the most notable private collections of fine and decorative art in the nation. Discover the wealth of treasures assembled in the historic rooms: paintings by Monet, Renoir, Sargent, and Whistler; Renaissance tapestries; rare books; and exquisite French and English furniture. Offering readers a glimpse into the design and furnishing of the North Carolina manse during the 1890s, the book explores Vanderbilt's relationships with leading artists, art dealers, and decorating firms from Tiffany & Co. in New York to Allard & Sons in Paris. Step inside the Winter Garden, Banquet Hall, Tapestry Gallery, and Library, recounted in Vanderbilt's own words. Visit the family's private apartments, with Rococo d矇cors drawn in sumptuous detail, as well as the industrially equipped kitchens and the sculpture-filled formal terraces. Unlocked drawers and conserved canvases reveal spectacular provenances reaching to the canals of Venice and the port of Canton (Guangzhou). Together these luxurious spaces and remarkable objects tell a story both highly personal and representative of a social milieu. Paired with superb new photography taken specially for the book, they add depth and sparkle to the history of a glittering era.
A Mood, a Thought, a Feeling
The first book from AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer Huh is filled with her elegant, colorful work, while inspiring readers to create different moods at home. Acclaimed designer Huh's warm and welcoming interiors resonate with harmony, elegance, and dynamism, each room animated by sophisticated surface treatments, a singular play of pattern and color, and a touch of wanderlust. Her first book, composed of three distinct sections, is perfect for readers searching for sophisticated inspiration. Part one, A Mood, looks at decoration through the lens of mood: convivial, peaceful, joyful, cozy, verve, romantic, meaningful. For example, convivial spaces are ones that feel buzzy, excited, and alive, like an artist's salon; they use lighting to draw people together and seating arrangements to connect. Peaceful interiors are refuges made for reading with a cup of tea on a rainy day, surrounded by warm, natural textures and quiet colors. The second part of the book, A Thought, features three full houses recently completed by Huh, including a chic forever home, an old house full of whimsy, and an airy Park Avenue penthouse. The final section of the book, A Feeling, is about Young's own recently completed historic country house in upstate New York, from the pattern-filled rooms to the gardens and grounds, with images of life through the seasons. Together, these three sections make for a uniquely personal and beautiful book.

Bernerd is known for creating interiors that have a very special sense of place. Firm in her belief that "good design transports us without us being entirely conscious of the fact," she aspires to take us out of the day-to-day to places we don't want to leave and give us the desire to bring a piece of that back home. Committed to the utility of good design, Bernerd works on an increasingly global platform with projects around the world. Hailed by the Financial Times for combining "impeccable craftmanship and timeless style," her keen eye for composition and detailing and remarkable flair for color and texture make her one of the most sought-after interior designers in the world.

Danshari
"Meet Japan's original decluttering guru (no, not that one)! Before Marie Kondo stormed into the global consciousness, Hideko Yamashita taught Japan the art of creating tidier spaces." --The New York Times Japan's original decluttering guru, Hideko Yamashita, first developed her decluttering method known as Danshari over two decades ago. Danshari is much more than just "a way to tidy up." Yes, you'll feel refreshed once your surroundings are in order--but that's just the beginning! At its heart, Danshari is about release. It's about removing what no longer serves you emotionally as well as physically. Discarding clutter frees you from outdated beliefs and emotional burdens that are holding you back. The word Danshari literally means "reduce, release and relieve"--or, in other words, lightness, clarity and freedom. This isn't just about throwing out old stuff. It's about creating space in your life for clarity, peace and joy with other people. Whether it's stressing about money, difficult relationships, family expectations or the fear of aging--Danshari offers you a way forward! Ms. Yamashita's real-life stories illustrate the life-changing power of Danshari, for example: Kaede went through a traumatic divorce, but was only able to tell her family about it after she had thrown away the old furniture left behind by her ex.Yoko spent three months getting rid of accumulated junk, literally creating a space in her home for a future husband--whom she met soon after her house was ready!Sachi spent 20 years accepting gifts of dinnerware from her mother-in-law until her cupboardswere overflowing. When she finally managed to throw these items away, her resentful feelings toward her mother-in-law also vanished.And many more true stories of Danshari's power to transform!In a recent New York Times interview, Ms. Yamashita explains how her philosophy differs from that of other decluttering experts, such as Marie Kondo. She says the Danshari method encourages people to think about why they are attached to certain items and to examine the impact old belongings and obsessions can have on their emotional state. "For me, Danshari is not about tidying up, organizing or tossing away things that don't spark joy [...] It is about returning to a state in which parting with things feels natural." This is far more than a guide to cleaning up your house. It's a roadmap to a whole new life!

The Chancellor’s Mansion
The breathtaking story of one family's journey to restore, renovate, and preserve a historic mansion. It's a million-dollar project with gorgeous potential--and many challenges. THE CHANCELLOR'S MANSION was built by William Townsend McCoun, a public servant and abolitionist in New York City. The once-grand house on a hill in Oyster Bay, Long Island, had been abandoned for years. Many would have torn the property down and built something new on the land. But Jamie and Frantz Arty realized the house had more to give. The couple purchased the home, moved in, and began period-specific renovations at the height of the pandemic, with their parents and three young children in tow. The Artys were determined to see their dream project come to life, in spite of its challenges: a tree growing through the living room floor, a roof on the verge of collapse, and a snapping turtle stuck in a stone-lined hole on the grounds. And those were the easy fixes. While renovating, Jamie learned that the chancellor had a Black servant by the name of Sophia Moore. Her headstone reads: Born a slave in the state of New Jersey, bought Her Freedom and was for 25 years a faithful friend and servant to the family of William Townsend McCoun. She is buried alongside the chancellor and his family --unusual for the time. The Chancellor's Mansion is not only an incredible historical play-by-play but a story of a house, the many families who have occupied it, and what it means to create a home.
