Gwathmey Siegel has long been the architect of choice for clients who want to combine extravagance with an intellectually rigorous, well-crafted modernism. While the houses for which they are so justly renowned often exceed 20,000 square feet, the apartments they have designed are frequently one-tenth that size. The work, however, does not suffer from this reduction in scale, it rather takes on a stunning intensity - as if the ideas encompassed in the bigger houses are in the apartments compressed into tight, concentrated forms. The seventeen apartments featured in this monograph document the evolution of the firm`s design ethos over thirty years of practice from a minimalist modernism to what has sometimes been described as baroque...

Terry Brooks won instant acclaim with his phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Sword of Shannara. Its sequels earned Brooks legendary status.

Eighty years into the future, the United States is a no-man’s-land: its landscape blighted by chemical warfare, pollution, and plague; its government collapsed; its...

Now these evocative stories are being re-issued in paperback by Harper Perennial with stunning new jackets.

Princess Christianna, happier in jeans and a sweatshirt than in the formal life of European royalty, leaves university to travel to East Africa as a volunteer for the Red Cross. Determined to make a difference, she plunges into the dusty, bustling life of an international relief camp, and is anxious to keep her identity a secret from her fellow aid workers. Dr Parker Williams, who works alongside Christianna and shares her dedication to healing, has no idea who she is - but as violence approaches and invades the camp, and the pressures of her royal life beckon her home, her struggle for freedom takes an extraordinary turn.

Princess Christianna is a young woman of her times: born in Europe, educated in America, responsible beyond her years. Her father, the Reigning Prince of a European nation that takes its royalty seriously, has ironclad plans for his only daughter`s life, a burden that for Christianna is almost unbearable. After four years at Berkeley, life in her father`s palace cannot distract Christianna from what she sees outside the kingdom-the suffering of children, the ravages of terrorism and disease.
