This wonderful book presents a thorough survey of the art of stained glass from early times to the present day.

This is a guide to the most important, beautiful and unusual stained glass to be found around the world

It is an invaluable sourcebook, with a meticulous, step-by-step illustrated account of the process of the making of a stained glass window and a comprehensive analysis of the issues facing conservationists.

International stained glass expert Virginia Raguin traces the emergence of stained glass as a unique art form through an examination of its techniques and symbolism, and the political and historical contexts – both ecclesiastical and secular – in which it has been displayed.

The story spans over 1,000 years, from the dramatic, richly patterned figures in Strasbourg Cathedral, via the monumental programmes at Chartres, York, Cologne and Florence, to modern masterpieces by Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Henri Matisse and John Piper among others.

From Romanesque to Gothic Revival, Renaissance to Opalesque, Virginia Raguin reveals her profound knowledge of the naunces of style and the aesthetics of light in this compelling field.

The Home Book is an essential guide to anyone about to embark on building or refurbishing a house. The book takes is through the multitude of factors involved in making decisions on space, materials, decoration and furnishings.

Soft furnishings – from curtains and cushions, to bed and table linen – can provide the perfect finishing touches to a room, adding an injection of colour and pattern. So often, store-bought furnishings are either hugely expensive or mass-produced, but The Home-Sewn Home shows you the easy way to create your own, using the wonderful fabrics designed by Vanessa Arbuthnott. There are 50 inspiring step-by-step projects, all with easy-to-follow step artworks and instructions.

The projects range from a simple cushion and table runner for the novice stitcher, through to lined curtains with an array of different headings, blinds, bed throws and table linen. There is a chapter on accessories, including a cook’s apron, a tote bag and table mats, which also make great presents, while the basic techniques chapter teaches you all the skills you need to make any of the projects.

Throughout the book, Vanessa offers practical advice on mixing fabrics, colours and patterns, helping you to achieve a truly individual look in your home. There are variations, too, allowing you to adapt the projects to suit your own surroundings. Whether you have just bought your first sewing machine, or want to find new ways to use Vanessa’s stunning fabrics, The Home-Sewn Home will show you the way.

About the author

Vanessa Arbuthnott started her own fabric design business ten years ago and was soon featured in Country Living and the Saturday Telegraph. She has never looked back and her enthusiasm for designing fabric is as strong as ever. This is her first book. Vanessa is based in Gloucestershire, UK.

Gail Abbott is a home stylist and writer whose work regularly appears in interiors magazines such as The World of Interiors, Homes & Gardens and Ideal Home. She is the author of nine books, including Shoestring Chic, Living with Light, Decorating with Blue and White, Living with White, and The Newly-Wed’s Guide to Setting up Home, all published by CICO Books. Gail is based in Cambridge, UK.

Following the success of The Homemade Home, Sania Pell now turns her attention to a younger audience, creating a stylish, innovative, contemporary and child-friendly collection of 50 projects for parents to make for their offspring. There are ideas for decorating the nursery and children's bedrooms, with great storage tricks, display ideas and decorations, ranging from a nautical-style bed throw to a banner embellished with silk flowers. When it's playtime, choose from making planes from balsa wood, sewing simple yet fun costumes or creating a fabulous play boat from a metal bath tub and a canvas sail. There are suggestions for the garden too, including a waterproof picnic rug and a play tent which utilizes the washing line rather than cumbersome tent poles. There are even quick ways to customize children's high-street clothing by adding collars, applique and buttons. If you can thread a needle, hold a paintbrush or wield a glue gun, you will find this book packed with inspirational ideas.

Find your inner Zen Much more than a travel or holiday guide, Great Escapes Asia is first and foremost a paradisiacal photo album. Featuring opulent photographs of places that seem too perfect to be real, some of which look like James Bond movie sets or National Geographic subjects, this book will quickly convince you that an Asian sojourn is crucial to your mental and physical wellbeing. The icing on the cake is that not only do these hotels really exist, but—thanks to the pricing and contact information provided—you can succumb to their mysterious charms and book yourself a room (or houseboat, hut, or tree house, whatever the case may be). Among the gems waiting for you in Great Escapes Asia: • In Kerala, India, choose between luxurious tree houses suspended 25 meters off the ground or futuristic-looking, Star Wars-style houseboats made of bamboo poles, palm leaves, and coconut fibers • Are you more the resplendent-resort or budget-bungalow type? Find the best of both in Bali • The best place for a delectable cup of joe: a luxury lodge and spa on a java plantation in (you guessed it) Java • In the Philippines, an organic resort composed of superimposed huts whose every room affords instant access to the beach via rope ladder • Tadao Ando’s sprawling minimalist concrete-and-steel hotel attached to the contemporary art museum in Naoshima, Japan—the perfect place to contemplate on the relationship between humans and nature • An exclusive hotel on a private island in Sri Lanka, once owned by Paul Bowles and frequented by Arthur C. Clarke and Peggy Guggenheim • Thatched-roof cottages in India whose gardens overflow with mangos, nutmeg, and cardamom • An Ayurvedic spa in the Himalayas where nothing matters but peace and relaxation • In Myanmar, an elegant river cruise boat and a hotel on a breathtaking archeological site • Chairman Mao’s former getaway in Beijing, where you can rent his lavish, traditionally-decorated suite complete with adjoining concubine rooms. Countries: Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam

Adventure through the princely Thurn und Taxis estate, an enchanted palace where 1,000 years of history meets a thoroughly modern family. For 200 years the Thurn und Taxis family have called the palace of St. Emmeram home. Regarded as one of Germany’s finest examples of historicist architecture, the Regensburg residence’s myriad rooms trace centuries of distinctive styles: a Romanesque-Gothic cloister built between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, a neo-Renaissance marble staircase, a number of Rococo and neo-Rococo staterooms, and a Baroque library frescoed in 1737. Celebrated photographer Todd Eberle captures the confluence of high art and grand architecture within the 500-room palace to reveal the curious tale of the Thurn und Taxis family. Complete with stately portraits and scenes of life at St. Emmeram, this monograph offers a glimpse into the world and glamour of one of the most important dynasties of the European aristocracy.
