The Regency period (c.1780–1837) saw the development of what is today one of the most popular styles in architecture and design. The combined influences of the antique and the exotic, together with the technological innovations of the day, produced a sophisticated style which was eclectic but also quintessentially British. By examining the constituent parts of the Regency house in England and America – its architecture, doors and windows, plasterwork and ironwork, colours and coverings, services, furniture and gardens – this comprehensive and stimulating book will inspire not only owners of period houses but also anyone with an interest in this uniquely attractive style.

The classical elegance of the Regency period in England is considered one of the most sophisticated and refined moments in design history. Throughout the twentieth century, designers took elements of the Regency vocabulary and restyled them to meld with the reigning design aesthetic of the day to extraordinary effect. The book opens with an introduction to the original Regency period, which built its sophisticated aesthetic on the example of the Neoclassical style of Napoleon`s time. It then picks up with the Art Deco designs of Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann and Sue et Mare in France. By the 1930s, the Vogue Regency returned home to England where Sibyl Colefax and Syrie Maugham created stylized classical interiors. In America, the Regency...

This important book picks up where Dr Deepak Chopra left off in his pioneering work Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. Having revealed the connection between our health and our thoughts, Dr Chopra shows us how to create a whole new self - the self we want to be - in this revolutionary sequel. Dr Chopra explains how the body is a reflection of the mind, `a symbol in flesh and blood of everything you think and feel`. From early childhood each one of us has invented our bodies and our personalities through our beliefs, conditioning and responses to everyday stress. But we have mostly done this unconsciously, which is why we may now feel unfulfilled. Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul will help us to reconnect with our ideal sense of...
At a café table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with an uneasy American stranger. As dusk deepens into night, he begins the tale that has brought him to this fateful encounter. Changez has lived an immigrant`s dream, studying at Princeton and snapped up by a powerful firm in New York, with the beautiful Erica on his arm and the promise of entry into Manhattan`s elite society. All of this changes after the September 11th attack, and allegiances are unearthed that may be more fundamental than money, power, or even love. The author of the PEN/Hemingway Award nominated New York Times Notable Book Moth Smoke here explores the unexpected connections between the political and the personal.
