Making Space - Lili Weigert
Explore the world of ADU design: Through engaging stories and gorgeous visuals, this practical and aesthetic design book showcases beautiful and unique ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) from around the world, describes the different ways they are used, and introduces the people who use them.Today, we are collectively living in a “new normal.” The convergence of extreme weather events, natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly shaken our sense of stability and certainty about the future. Whether by choice or by force, our lifestyles have changed. We’ve confronted unpredictable challenges, including soaring housing and living costs, and embraced innovative solutions. Cue the ADU: Typically described as a self-contained structure on the same property as a single-family home, ADUs range in size from 400 to 1,200 square feet. They generally include a kitchen, living area, and separate entrance. Their efficient use of residential areas, contribution to the housing pool, and provisions for additional income for homeowners make ADUs a welcome addition to life in the new normal. Whether used as a rental property, an office, or for intergenerational housing, the ADU has never made more sense. This practical and vibrant exploration of ADUs combines beautifully photographed profiles and essays on maximizing space, aging in place, and the next generation of ADU design. Dive into the pages of Making Space to learn about and be inspired by the creativity, flexibility, and opportunities these intentional and efficient living spaces present for homeowners, designers, and urban planners.THE BOOK WE NEED NOW: A snapshot of our current lifestyles shows that work-from-home remains prevalent, from one to four days a week; one in five households has two adult generations living together; and our aging population hopes to “age in place,” ideally providing a separate space for a live-in caregiver. As rents continue to soar, entry-level homes in urban areas become scarcer, and the cost of living increases, this is a topic ready for thorough exploration. SMALL SPACE LIVING BOOK: For anyone who aspires to adding or living in an ADU, this coffee-table-worthy volume goes beyond utilitarian how-to permitting and building process guides to celebrate the creative spark inherent to ADU design. Add to any collection of favorite books on the tiny house movement, small-space living, and innovative home design. Perfect for: Current and prospective homeowners and property owners Real estate professionals Architects, designers, builders, and urban planners Sustainability professionals, environmentalists, and future-minded thinkers Neighborhood and civic leaders and organizations

An Illustrated Catalog of American Mushrooms - US Department of Agriculture's Maurice B. Walters Collection
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.

Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals.

The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books - Edward Wilson-Lee
WINNER OF THE 2019 PEN HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZEThe fascinating history of Christopher Columbus’s illegitimate son Hernando, guardian of his father’s flame, courtier, bibliophile and catalogue supreme, whose travels took him to the heart of 16th-century Europe’ Honor Clerk, Spectator, Books of the YearThis is the scarcely believable – and wholly true – story of Christopher Columbus'' bastard son Hernando, who sought to equal and surpass his father''s achievements by creating a universal library. His father sailed across the ocean to explore the known boundaries of the world for the glory of God, Spain and himself. His son Hernando sought instead to harness the vast powers of the new printing presses to assemble the world’s knowledge in one place, his library in Seville.Hernando was one of the first and greatest visionaries of the print age, someone who saw how the scale of available information would entirely change the landscape of thought and society.His was an immensely eventual life. As a youth, he spent years travelling in the New World, and spent one living with his father in a shipwreck off Jamaica. He created a dictionary and a geographical encyclopaedia of Spain, helped to create the first modern maps of the world, spent time in almost every major European capital, and associated with many of the great people of his day, from Ferdinand and Isabel to Erasmus, Thomas More, and Dürer. He wrote the first biography of his father, almost single-handedly creating the legend of Columbus that held sway for many hundreds of years, and was highly influential in crafting how Europe saw the world his father reached in 1492. He also amassed the largest collection of printed images and of printed music of the age, started what was perhaps Europe''s first botanical garden, and created by far the greatest private library Europe had ever seen, dwarfing with its 15,000 books every other library of the day.Edward Wilson-Lee has written the first major modern biography of Hernando – and the first of any kind available in English. In a work of dazzling scholarship, The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books tells an enthralling tale of the age of print and exploration, a story with striking lessons for our own modern experiences of information revolution and Globalisation.

With encyclopedic knowledge and engaging curiosity, Calvino writes about such diverse subjects as the imaginative pleasures of maps, bizarre exhibitions and the earliest forms of written language. Books and paintings provoke discussions of artistic motivation, while descriptions of a meticulous Japanese garden, Trajan''s column crumbling to dust or a Mexican temple smothered by the jungle lead to contemplations on space, time and civilization. Surprising and profound, Collection of Sand provides a glimpse into the mind of a master of the magination.Italo Calvino, one of Italy''s finest postwar writers, has delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like stories. Calvino was born in Cuba in 1923 and raised in San Remo, Italy; he fought for the Italian Resistance from 1943-45. He died in Siena in 1985, of a brain hemorrhage.Martin L. McLaughlin is Professor of Italian and Fiat-Serena Professor of Italian Studies at the University of Oxford where he is a Fellow of Magdalen College.

The Collected Works of Oscar Wilde (Wordsworth Library Collection) - Oscar Wilde
Wilde’s works are suffused with his aestheticism, brilliant craftsmanship, legendary wit and, ultimately, his tragic muse. He wrote tender fairy stories for children employing all his grace, artistry and wit, of which the best-known is The Happy Prince. Counterpoints to this were his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, which shocked and outraged many readers of his day, and his stories for adults which exhibited his fascination with the relations between serene art and decadent life.Wilde took London by storm with his plays, particularly his masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest. His essays – in particular De Profundis – and his Ballad of Reading Gaol, both written after his release from prison, strikingly break the bounds of his usual expressive range. His other essays and poems are all included in this comprehensive collection of the works of one of the most exciting writers of the late nineteenth century.Our Library Collection hardback series has been completely redesigned, for launch in November 2024. The books are now finished in black, soft-touch linen, cloth bound with metallic gold and matt coloured foil blocking. They come complete with co-ordinated head and tail bands, a silk ribbon marker and coloured spray edges.The pages are sewn, and the end papers are in two colours featuring an exclusive design by Holly Dunn.

The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections - Eva Jurczyk
The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections is a sparkling book-club read about a woman struggling to step out from behind the shadows of powerful and unreliable men, and reveals the dark edge of obsession running through the most devoted bookworms. Liesl Weiss long ago learned to be content working behind the scenes in the distinguished rare books department of a large university, managing details and working behind the scenes to make the head of the department look good. But when her boss has a stroke and she’s left to run things, she discovers that the library’s most prized manuscript is missing. Liesl tries to sound the alarm and inform the police about the missing priceless book, but is told repeatedly to keep quiet, to keep the doors open and the donors happy. But then a librarian unexpectedly stops showing up to work. Liesl must investigate both disappearances, unspooling her colleagues’ pasts like the threads of a rare book binding as it becomes clear that someone in the department must be responsible for the theft. What Liesl discovers about the dusty manuscripts she has worked among for so long—and about the people who care for and revere them—shakes the very foundation on which she has built her life.
