the harmonious home rebecca atwood

A holistic approach to creating a home using the colors, patterns, and textures found in the natural world, from the author of Living with Color and Living with Pattern.Hailed by Vogue for her approachable patterns and textiles Rebecca Atwood shares a new method for styling your interiors, one guided by nature: specifically landscapes that capture your imagination. As an artist, she has found that the details of a landscape helps make design accessible, and when decorating a home, it can even direct the decisions you make. Think of a place outside that contains a mood you want to bring into your home, such as the beach or a garden you saw on your travels. Identify the colors in its landscape and you can choose a room’s paint colors. Pick out its textures and you can decide what materials—rugs, wallpaper, upholstery fabric—to bring into the room. The Harmonious Home walks you through six different landscapes—Dunes, Ocean, Field, Forest, Garden, and City—and shows you how to pull together color and pattern combinations you might not have imagined on your own that evoke the feeling of the place without looking overly thematic.Throughout, you’ll find gorgeous photographs of interiors around the country and expert advice from celebrated interior designers for selecting lighting, a floor plan, window treatments, and more. With endless inspiration for building a room around a mood, The Harmonious Home takes you from fabric and paint swatches to a harmonious design that feels like home.

A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard – the most elite military school in Nikan – was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power – an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive – and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away…

Kitty Pryde, Betsy Braddock, and America Chavez race against time itself to save Jean Grey and the X-Men in this epic Multiversal adventure reimagining Marvel origin stories. So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have I watched generations of mutants live in a world shaped by Jean Greyâ ™s legacy. But what ifâ ¦ that legacy was cut tragically short, dooming the world to a future without the X-Men? What ifâ ¦ a watcher must do more than watch? The year is 1990: The X-Men all perished more than a decade ago, and Kitty Pryde is no hero. Emma Frost rescued Kitty from an obscure existence as a mere rebellious teen kicked out of boarding school, terrified of ever being discovered as a mutant.

What is her alternative? The world is what it is. But sometimes Kitty isnâ ™t so sure of that. Sometimes it feels like she phases right out of her own life. Breathe in: Sheâ ™s suddenly surrounded by friends sheâ ™s never known, living out events that never happened. Breathe out: Itâ ™s all back to normal. Kitty always shoves these flashes down, until someone from that other life finds her. This familiar stranger, Betsy Braddock, is a rambling confirmation that something is wrong with their world. Betsy has a wild theory and if itâ ™s right, Kittyâ ™s only shot at changing the present is to free-fall into the past.

Both a translation and critique of an early 20th century seminal French text on the physical effects of corseting, The Bad Corset explores contemporary anti-woman bias to challenge the commonly accepted assertions about corsetry s contribution to disease, disfigurement, and disorders of the female body. The original 1908 French book, Le Corset by Ludovic O Followell-with its graphic illustrations, some of which are reproduced here-tells a story, familiar to anyone interested in popular culture and fashion history, of women suffering for fashion, tormented by and subject to their corsets. However, a close reading of the texts tells a very different, and more complicated, story.This fascinating exploration, approaching the topic from a scientific perspective, and reproducing facsimiles of the original text, with translations and annotations, critiques the presumptions and anxieties of male medical professionals on the damage caused by corsets to the female body and psyche. Rather than seeing the women who wore these perceived instruments of torture as victims or dupes, The Bad Corset confidently asserts the agency of the women who wore them and highlights the way in which seminal texts can continue to influence our interpretation of the past, and women s lives and histories. The Bad Corset is a remarkable resource for scholars and students of fashion, medicine and gender history, taking a feminist approach to female agency and choice, and helping us reconsider the way we think about the shaping of women s bodies, and their lives.

“Some fiction is both story and testimonial—a bearing witness to lessons that must not be forgotten. Haunting and elegiac, The Stone Home is fearless in its clear-eyed recounting.” — The Washington PostA hauntingly poetic family drama and coming-of-age story that reveals a dark corner of South Korean history through the eyes of a small community living in a reformatory center—a stunning work of great emotional power from the critically acclaimed author of If You Leave Me.In 2011, Eunju Oh opens her door to greet a stranger: a young Korean American woman holding a familiar-looking knife—a knife Eunju hasn’t seen in thirty years, and that connects her to a place she’d desperately hoped to leave behind forever.In South Korea in the 1980s, young Eunju and her mother are homeless on the street. After being captured by the police, they’re sent to live within the walls of a state-sanctioned reformatory center that claims to rehabilitate the nation’s citizens but hides a darker, more violent reality. While Eunju and her mother form a tight-knit community with the other women in the kitchen, two teenage brothers, Sangchul and Youngchul, are compelled to labor in the workshops and make increasingly desperate decisions—and all are forced down a path of survival, the repercussions of which will echo for decades to come.Inspired by real events, told through alternating timelines and two intimate perspectives, The Stone Home is a deeply affecting story of a mother and daughter’s love and a pair of brothers whose bond is put to an unfathomably difficult test. Capturing a shameful period of history with breathtaking restraint and tenderness, Crystal Hana Kim weaves a lyrical exploration of the legacy of violence and the complicated psychology of power, while showcasing the extraordinary acts of devotion and friendship that can arise in the darkness.
