A fascinating exploration of the USDA’s national fungus collection, offering readers an intimate portrait of America’s elusive fungi species. The United States Department of Agriculture’s National Fungus Collections is one of the world’s largest mycological institutions, housing over a million species of fungi. Mycologist Maurice Burke Walters’s collection of fungi is also housed here—a fascinating collection revealing the often-solitary forays of the rather-retiring Walters, the then-nascent science of mycology, and the evolving interest of the USDA in documenting the nation’s fungi species (over 10,000 named species are found in the US). Alongside beautiful botanical illustrations, are field notes, observational sketches, and occasionally enigmatic photographs of fungi (within USDA laboratories, in the wild, and elsewhere). This book contains an eclectic assortment of illustrated and documented fungi species drawn from Walters collection. Encompassing contemporary meditations on ecology, mycology and pharmacology, the still-unexplored landscape of fungi knowledge is memorably demystified, perhaps, for practicing mycologists and enthusiastic foragers alike.

A stunning display of the vibrant and wide-ranging talent of Vanessa Bell in the first catalogue devoted to the artist.Vanessa Bell (1879–1961) has been known as the still, quiet centre around which the Bloomsbury Group revolved,. She was renowned for her beauty, her complex romantic entanglements and, later, her domestic gravitas – and as the sister of Virginia Woolf. But Bell was also one of the most advanced British artists of her time, with her own distinctive vision, boldly interpreting new ideas about art which were brewing in France and beyond.This publication beautifully showcases Bell’s pioneering oil paintings, photographs, ceramics, fabrics, decorative screens and works on paper in a revelatory affirmation of her vibrant and wide-ranging talent. Including more than 180 colour plates, Vanessa Bell is a definitive record of Bell’s accomplishments. The book is enhanced with photography of Charleston, the Sussex farmhouse that she occupied with creative flair alongside Duncan Grant and the rest of her unconventional family.With sections devoted to portraiture, landscape, still life, design, domestic scenes and female subjects, the book gathers together a rich chorus of voices – from renowned Bloomsbury scholars to emerging experts – delivering a fresh view of an intrepid modern artist seen clearly on her own terms at last.

"Lovingly written" Deborah Harry"An exquisite portrait of a tragic heroine" Violaine HuismanA spare, heartbreaking memoir and tribute to Maria Schneider, the 1970s movie starlet who catapulted to fame in the controversial film Last Tango in Paris-only to live the rest of her life plagued by scandal-as told from the perspective of her adoring younger cousin.The late French actress Maria Schneider is perhaps best known for playing Jeanne in the provocative film Last Tango in Paris, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and released to international shock and acclaim in 1972. It was Maria''s first major role, alongside film legend Marlon Brando, when she was barely eighteen years old. The experience would haunt her for the rest of her life, traumatizing her and sparking a tabloid firestorm that only ceased when she began to retreat from the public eye nearly two decades later.To Maria''s much younger cousin, Vanessa Schneider, Maria was a towering figure of another kind-a beautiful and fearsome fixture in Vanessa''s childhood, a rising star turned pariah whose career and struggles with addiction won the family shame and pride in equal measure. Here, Vanessa recounts the challenges of their overlapping youths and fraught adulthood and reveals both the tragedy and inevitability of Maria''s path in a family plagued by mental illness and in a society rife with misogyny.Unsentimental and suffused with deep love, My Cousin Maria Schneider is the story of a talented artist and the cousin who admired her, and of exploitation and how its lingering effects can reverberate through a lifetime.

One of Britain’s most radical and influential artists working in the first decades of the twentieth century, Vanessa Bell was a pioneer for professional women  Vanessa Bell was a leading figure within the Bloomsbury Group and known for her unconventional lifestyle, but her work as a painter, designer, and decorator has often been overlooked and relegated within the bombastic, male-dominated field of British modernism.  With new research, including previously unpublished letters, Wendy Hitchmough explores the ways in which Bell (1879–1961) forged new pathways as a modernist woman. Writing openly about depression and mental health at a time when the subject was stigmatised, as well as challenging taboos surrounding women’s bodies, Bell exploited the patriarchal society that oppressed her. She responded to the nudes and pastoral scenes of Cézanne, Gauguin, Picasso, and Matisse with themes of miscarriage and motherhood. She exhibited with her partner, Duncan Grant, and comparisons between their parallel careers highlight the gender disparities that shaped her life and work.  Vanessa Bell: The Life and Art of a Bloomsbury Radical celebrates the artist’s trailblazing approach to art as well as life, her rejection of conventions, and the challenge she posed to the structures of early twentieth-century society.

‘Vanessa Nakate continues to teach a most critical lesson. She reminds us that while we may all be in the same storm, we are not all in the same boat.’ - Greta ThunbergNo matter your age, location or skin colour, you can be an effective activist.Devastating flooding, deforestation, extinction and starvation. These are the issues that not only threaten in the future, they are a reality. After witnessing some of these issues first-hand, Vanessa Nakate saw how the world’s biggest polluters are asleep at the wheel, ignoring the Global South where the effects of climate injustice are most fiercely felt.Inspired by a shared vision of hope, Vanessa’s commanding political voice demands attention for the biggest issue of our time and, in this rousing manifesto for change, shows how you can join her to protect our planet now and for the future.Vanessa realized the importance of her place in the climate movement after she, the only Black activist in an image with four white Europeans, was cropped out of a press photograph at Davos in 2020. This example illustrates how those who will see the biggest impacts of the climate crisis are repeatedly omitted from the conversation.

A profound and gripping memoir by Nicole Walters, the daughter of Ghanaian immigrants who became a self-made multi-millionaire by showing others how to recognize their own strengths—and her own harrowing journey to the discovery that she was worthy all along of the life of her dreams.Nothing Is Missing is a riveting, unputdownable story of what it takes to show up for yourself—and the joy that can come once you do. Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned early that she needed to take charge of her own safety and security. So she did: She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to pay for college, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, she quit her job to launch her own business, and she struggled. Hustling endlessly to try to achieve society’s definition of success left her exhausted, compromising her own sense of worth in order to accommodate others. Nicole worked herself straight into a health crisis that threatened her life and the family she had worked so hard to build. It was not until she was forced into a major reckoning in both her business and her marriage that Nicole realized that she was already enough, that she had and was everything that she needed.

How much have women''s lives really changed? In the West women still come up against the ''glass ceiling'' at work, most earning considerably less than their male counterparts. What are we to make of the now commonplace insistence that feminism deprives men of their rights and dignities? And how does one tackle the issue of female emancipation in different cultural and economic environments - in, for example, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, and Africa?This book provides an historical account of feminism, exploring its earliest roots as well as key issues including voting rights, the liberation of the sixties, and its relevance today. Margaret Walters touches on the difficulties and inequities that women still face more than forty years after the ''new wave'' of 1960s feminism, such as how successful women are at combining domesticity, motherhood, and work outside the house. She brings the subject completely up to date by providing an analysis of the current situation of women across the globe, from Europe and the United States to Third World countries.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

At the end of the Second World War some of the highest ranking members of the Nazi party escaped from justice. Some of them are names that have resonated deeply in twentieth-century history - Eichmann, Mengele, Martin Bormann and Klaus Barbie - not just for the monstrosity of their crimes, but also because of the shadowy nature of their post-war existence, holed up in the depths of Latin America, always one step ahead of their pursuers. The nature of their escape was as gripping as any good thriller. They were aided and abetted by corrupt Catholic priests in the Vatican, they travelled down secret ''rat lines'', hid in foreboding castles high in the Austrian alps, and were taken in by shady Argentine secret agents. The attempts to bring them to justice are no less dramatic, with vengeful Holocaust survivors, inept politicians, and daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives. Guy Walters has travelled the world in pursuit of the real account of how the Nazis escaped at the end of the war, the attempts, sometimes successful, to bring them to justice, and what really happened to those that got away. He has interviewed Nazi hunters, former members of Mossad, and poured through archives across the globe to bring this remarkable period of our recent history to dramatic and vivid life.

The rise and rise of a group of artisanal producers in Champagne over the last twenty years has challenged everything we thought we knew about this famous region. In Bursting Bubbles, Robert Walters takes us on a journey to visit these great growers. Along the way, he reveals a secret history of Champagne and dispels many of the myths that still persist about this celebrated wine style. Controversial and ground breaking, Bursting Bubbles will change the way you think about Champagne. In his foreword, multi-award-winning author Andrew Jefford has called Bursting Bubbles, ‘The most engaging book about leading Champagne growers I’ve read, full of insight and detail’ and ‘…the most refreshing, pretension-pricking, myth-busting and amusingly unfrothy book on the subject.’ ‘...This is part history lesson, part travel adventure story and wholly entertaining to read.

Po rokoch na poste medzinárodne úspešnej manažérky sa jej kariéra zrútila ako domček z karát a ona začala hľadať nový zmysel života. Rozhodla sa pre celkom nepravdepodobný cieľ: vyliezť na Mount Everest.O dva roky neskôr zastala na vrchole sveta. A odtiaľ pokračovala ďalej.Už ako tínedžerka dobre vedela, čo znamená sama na vlastnú päsť tvrdo drieť a pretĺkať sa životom po tom, ako utrpela zničujúcu stratu, ktorá jej rozbila rodinu.

This publication, together with the exhibition it accompanies, presents the largest ever survey of work by Vanessa Bell (1879–1961). Described in 1923 as ‘the most important woman painter in Europe’, Bell was a pioneering modernist and founding member of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of influential English artists, writers and intellectuals in the first half of the twentieth century.The book traces Bell’s explorations into the Italian Renaissance, her encounters with the European avant-garde, including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, and her leading role in social and cultural activities such as the Friday Club, a group of artists founded in 1905, as well as the design enterprise Omega Workshops. It also looks at the key contributions Bell made towards the development of abstract art, creating what friend and art critic Roger Fry described as ‘visual music’.Collaborations formed an essential part of Bell’s approach to art, including with her sister, the writer Virginia Woolf, and the artist Duncan Grant, with whom Vanessa Bell’s all-encompassing approach to art found its ultimate expression in Charleston, the farmhouse they shared in East Sussex.Through over 130 works of art produced across her entire career this book examines the development of Bell’s landscapes, still lifes and portraits alongside her wider approach to creativity through design, furniture, ceramics and drawings.

Autobiografický sprievodca intímnym životom Japoncov aj originálna sociologická sonda v jednom.Vanessa Montalbano si v Japonsku založila profil na zoznamke, aby si zlepšila jazyk. Namiesto toho objavila, ako Japonci vnímajú partnerstvo, sex a manželstvo.Sex v meste po japonskyJaponsko si väčšinou predstavujeme ako dynamickú modernú krajinu s tradíciou harmonického životného štýlu. Fascinujú nás ulice plné neónových nápisov, často však nevieme, čo znamenajú – mnohé z nich sa pritom týkajú sexu. Táto kniha ponúka kaleidoskop príbehov a osobných skúseností autorky a jej známych, ktoré sa sústreďujú na intímny život v Japonsku.Japonský štýl životaKeď sa autorka sťahovala do Japonska, nevedela po japonsky a na život si zarábala v krčme, kam si chodia zamestnanci kancelárií odpočinúť po práci. Bývala v rôznych štvrtiach Tokia a mohla tak zblízka sledovať život bežných Japoncov. Japonsko tak poznala úplne inak, než sa pošťastí väčšine jeho návštevníkov, a ako milovníčka módy a subkultúr veľmi pozorne zaznamenávala špecifiká japonského spôsobu života.Päťdesiat odtieňov randeniaKniha Vanessy Montalbano je až neuveriteľne kompletná. Aj v Japonsku sa samozrejme chodí na rande do reštaurácií či kaviarní, ale objavíte tu až neuveriteľne bizarné spôsoby zoznamovania a trávenia chvíľ vo dvojici. Navštívite aj chrám, kde môžete požiadať o väčšie prsia a prečítate si o fenoménoch, ktoré u nás takmer neexistujú, akými sú tzv. love hotely či gigolovia.Kniha nielen pre japonistovNezáleží na tom, či vás fascinuje svet randenia, alebo radšej objavujete iné kultúry – táto kniha vás vtiahne. Zaujme aj tých, ktorí o Japonsku veľa nevedia, a milovníkom krajiny vychádzajúceho slnka ponúkne nový pohľad na ich vysnívanú destináciu.

The definitive and authorised biography of the artist Vanessa Bell.Even through the lens of the twenty-first century, the story of Vanessa Bell’s life is unorthodox. A powerful magnetic figure, Bell lived at the heart of the Bloomsbury Group and was often the core figure around which the disparate individuals of the movement revolved.Her art and designs – so often overshadowed by her sister Virginia Woolf’s writings and fame and by the interest in her own unconventional life – made a significant contribution to the history of the Bloomsbury Group. Yet, until this authorised biography was written, she has remained a largely silent and enigmatic figure.In this captivating account, acclaimed art historian and biographer Frances Spalding restores Bell to the heart of the Bloomsbury Group, illuminating an exceptional life and the free-spirited circle among which she lived.
