Those settled in the suburban house on the quarter acre block will be intrigued by the smaller spaces emerging in our cities. From lofts nestled into warehouse spaces to the townhouses hidden in lane-ways, the localities as intriguing as the spaces themselves. With a move to smaller and more flexible spaces, architects and designers are pushing the parameters of available space. Stephen Crafti is a well-known author and journalist and this is his third book for the Images Publishing Group.

Moist von Lipwig, the savior of the Ankh-Morpork post office, has gotten settled into a routine. He`s filling out forms, signing things, will probably get to be head of the Merchants Association next year, and he hasn`t designed a stamp in months.

Lord Vetinari, always brilliant in his ruthlessness, recognizes an opportunity when he sees one, and offers Moist the job of running the royal mint. Moist tries to refuse, pretending that he`s satisfied with the stable life, but he can`t deny the urge for adventure and intrigue for long.

The two wars were the worst we had ever known and the episodes of peace among the most turbulent and surprising. As the political forum moved from Edwardian smoking rooms to an increasingly democratic Westminster, the people of Britain experimented with extreme ideas as they struggled to answer the question `How should we live?` Socialism? Fascism? Feminism? Meanwhile, fads such as eugenics, vegetarianism and nudism...
