Devils In Our Food - 2nd Edition
Devils are lurking It's a contradiction in terms of putting the words devil and food together, and why is this? The word devil conjures up fear, is not reasonable to be associated with, and is associated with all bad things. The word devil makes us uncomfortable, ill at ease, or not want to go near.Food, conversely, means nourishment, good for the body, brain, and mind, comfort, health, well-being, longevity, and many other well-meaning associations.The original word food may have come from the word: fode or fude (Middle English), from foda (Old English or from fodo (Proto Germanic).[1] Food is meant to keep us healthy regardless of the word's origin. In the last 200 years, food has moved far from that.We are now in the 21st Century, and we are still recovering, food-wise, from the Industrial Revolution that began in the 18th Century. Small agricultural societies became more industrialized, and small communities moved into towns and cities, especially in England and Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution provided work for the masses, and food was needed to keep them working in the newly developed factories and sweatshops; these establishments later spread to other parts of the world.Mechanisms and machinery took over food production to feed the masses and keep the price affordable so that factory workers and their families could be fed.Baked bread from many bakeries in the Victorian era was known for its limited flour input, with the bulk of the bread being made out of wood fibre. As recently as 1985, the New York Times identified a commercial bakery in the United States of America using wood fibre in its commercially baked bread.[2] Considering our latest knowledge, some food manufacturers have made little progress in their choices about the ingredients, additives, and impurities they put into their products.We may have moved on in some areas of food choice. However, the 'Devils' in the foods we eat are now more cleverly labelled, and the use of scientific names combined with new branding and marketing techniques all help us become more confused than ever about what to eat and what is healthy.The devil is indeed in the deed, and it's time to uncover the true meaning of the word 'food' and what is being sold under this label!This book guides you through the minefield of food and drink additives using the traffic light system: Green is for Safe, Amber is for Caution, and Red is for Avoid. It includes the additive numbers and a full description of what the additive is made from, as well as whether it has a past record of causing health concerns and dangers, and whether it contributes to long-term illness and eventual death.

English Houses
"Eight years have passed since the first edition of this book. It's wonderful to see it being reprinted again, not least, I think, because it proves the adage that while nothing dates as quickly as fashion, nothing stays in fashion longer than timeless design--which is really at the core of what I try to do." In this timeless and beautiful book, now reissued complete with a brand-new introduction, renowned architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath presents an insightful overview of the classic English style. The classic English interior is a timeless one, characterized by richness of color and texture, a mixture of old and new pieces and a generous layering of books, paintings, cushions, and flowers. In English Houses, Ben visits 12 classically English homes divided into three sections: London, Country, and Country House. The interiors featured range from a 1930s pied-a-terre in London's historic St James district to a townhouse in North London to designer Veere Grenney's tiny Palladian folly in Suffolk to Wardington, a 16th-century manor house in Oxfordshire. Ben's own homes, an apartment in London and a farmhouse in West Dorset, are also included. These homes vary greatly in architecture, size, shape, and age, but they all have in common the English style--richly-layered rooms that deftly intertwine color and pattern and a mix of old and new furniture to create timeless and comfortable places to live.

Studio Sofield Works
An extraordinary work of bookmaking, this is the first and only book from one of the most sought-after architecture and design ateliers in the world. For more than three decades, Studio Sofield has brought unalloyed excitement to the practice of design and architecture, creating spaces that reshape the boundaries between art and craft, reality and fantasy, history and the present moment with exceptional elegance and wit. The Studio's projects, which range from homes, retail experiences and hospitality to multistory apartment towers, the seating in their lobbies and the hardware on their doors, invite us to connect--not only with each other, but with the places that bring us joy. Studio Sofield Works is the landmark first book from the New York City firm.At 656 pages, this slipcased volume is a visual journey through scores of projects that underline the Studio's distinctive approach, including thirteen featured chapters illustrated with 730 full-color photographs. The book opens with a chronology of highlights, tracing the culture and mood of past decades with beguiling candor and spotlighting the inspiration that William Sofield and Emma O'Neill have taken from the times. The Studio's very first office, above a slaughterhouse in the Meatpacking District, gives rise to ideas for Ralph Lauren's Japanese-inspired estate in Montauk. In Laurel Canyon, the Studio's West Coast home conjures decorative experiments only a Hollywood dream factory could match. And Sofield's endless commuting for fashion clients--among them Gucci, Tom Ford, Bottega Veneta, and Yves Saint Laurent--informs a client's nose-to-tail private plane redesign. Throughout the book, a series of essays--by Jack Bankowsky, Paul Goldberger, A.M. Homes, John Oakes, Tim Rodgers and Joel Silver--celebrates Studio Sofield's unique gifts for teasing a delectable future out of the past with a touch so light, so deft, you have to see it to believe it. No wonder clients get hooked. As Tom Ford writes in his foreword, "I always imagine that I am not going to sell a house, buy another, and then go through what can be an exhaustive exercise in creating a new home, but I'm afraid that I am addicted to houses. I am also addicted to Bill and Emma." Studio Sofield has made a book in the same way it makes spaces, with artistry and a meticulous eye for detail. As the first and only book on the firm's seminal oeuvre, Studio Sofield Works is a volume to cherish and an essential addition to every contemporary design library. A valuable resource and a beautiful object, the book is printed in Italy on the highest quality stock for a sublime statement that defines the Studio's opus.
Building on Tradition
A firm expressing the best in classical architecture, rendered anew for today's contemporary lifestyles. Over two decades, William Curtis and Russell Windham have worked to show that classical architecture can embody the same attention to context and custom approach to design often ascribed to more modern movements, underscoring how versatile classical ideals and details can be. In styles reminiscent of the great Tudor manor houses of England to quaint symmetrical clapboard farmhouses, quintessentially Mission-style haciendas, and of course neo-Georgian mansions, the firm builds houses with a faithful adherence to historical detail, proportion, and materials that makes them stand out as truly world-class designers. With interiors as much a part of their core practice as exteriors, this firm is able to carry through an integrity of vision--graciously curved banisters, warm and inviting mantels, detailed brickwork, and coffered ceilings--that makes every project feel truly whole, complete. Yet a strong sense still pervades every featured home that they are organized to support modern lifestyles, taking the best of the past and adapting it to create homes that are truly comfortable and functional for today's families.
