Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Sartre Dictionary Continuum Philosophy Dictionary 1
Book SynopsisCovers the major works, ideas and influences of Jean-Paul Sartre. This dictionary contains entries which include definitions of various terms used in Sartre's writings and synopses of his works, novels and plays. It is intended for those who read or study Sartre, existentialism or 20th Century Continental Philosophy.Trade Review"[This book] offers lucid and thorough explications of key Sartrean concepts and even phrases, and it contains revealing accounts of the numerous thinkers and writers who influenced Sartre...This book will open doors." - David Pugmire, Department of Philosophy, University of Southampton, UK"Combining a translation manual for Sartre's idiosyncratic terminology with summaries of his central works, this book will prove a key reference work for students of his philosophy, his fiction, and his wide range of other writings." - Jonathan Webber, University of Bristol author of The Existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre"...a useful and generally reliable guide for contemporary readers of Sartre's philosophy and literature. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level graduates through faculty/researchers; general readers." - J. A. Gauthier, CHOICE, October 2008"Most reference books are read for information not pleasure, their purpose being to impart information in the quickest and clearest way possible. This volume does not fit that genus. Written with an eye on readability and understanding, and with the easy style of a novelist, the author of this A-Z dictionary has woven Sartre's life and works with the threads of personal and world history, ideational analysis, and the published works and important people of his time, people to whom Sartre responded and interacted. With a short introduction, voracious bibliography, and a timeline that permits historical connection, the author places Sartre's books, ideas, and changes in view point in a historical context of people and events that lend intelligibility to the development of his thoughts...This is a volume for every Sartre student or scholar." - Joseph P. Hester, American Reference Books Annual, Vol. 40, 2009Mentioned in Times Higher Education Supplement, 24 January 2008"For those seeking a clear and consise way into the labyrinthine complexity of Sartre's philosophy, Gary Cox's Sartre Dictionary will come as a welcome addition to the library of Sartre criticism... The philosophical rigour and clarity which characterize much of Cox's writing in The Sartre Dictionary will ensure its lasting value for Sartre scholars and enthusiasts alike." Sam Coombes, MLR, 2009.There are many ideas from Sartre that are incompletely understood both by students but also by people who ought to know better...

Book SynopsisA comprehensive visual sourcebook for creating your perfect garden style with over 600 images of inspiring design ideas and solutions for every type of gardenRichly illustrated with hundreds of full-color images, this volume is a comprehensive trove of ideas and solutions for every type of garden that explore the possibilities for every situation, from challenging small spaces to expansive plots. Design tools are explained, planting styles explored, and inspiration is drawn from a wide variety of locations and climates to appeal to gardeners and designers everywhere.This is also a valuable style catalogue and sourcebook, encouraging and inspiring readers to discover their own garden style—contemporary or traditional, from cottage whimsy to classic formality or modern minimalism. A wealth of stylish design ideas for every kind of outdoor setting are included, whether inspired by the past or aspiring towards the future. Every conceivable topic is covered:Trade Review"Some may argue that garden styles have barely changed in 1,000 years, with trends simply coming and going along the way, but when you have the gallery of a renowned garden photographer to view, you know you will see something different. This book is published as a companion to Garden Design: A Book of Ideas by the same authors, but stands solidly on its own feet. Majerus photographs draw you in witll a rich sense of time and place, and Howcroft elaborates on each with the precision you expect from a well-honed landscape architect, giving planting detail and design breakdown in crisp, clear fashion. Case studies illustrate each style, and there are additional chapters on colour, styling and lighting. In the introduction, Howcroft provides loose style guidelines and advises readers to be realistic but open to a merging of styles to suit your needs. I love her idea of putting a photo of your household on a mood board of chosen images to see if you 'fit' the picture. The genius of this book is that the photos lead the way, with much of the text taking the form of expanded captions to explain their context. The photos tell the story in a very user-friendly fashion, and there is a worldwide feel to the book, which offers up some real delights, including Majerus's own garden in Luxembourg. There are some stunning British gardens, too, such as Jane Brockbank's design for a tricky, L-shaped garden that manages to squeaze in a pool and a garden room among the shade-loving planting. Whether purchased as an indulgent coffee-table book or an inspirational sourcebook, Garden Style could be equally useful to designers, landscapers and architects as a mood board to illustrate styles and help clients visualise their thoughts. I recommend reading this book several times: once for the pure indulgence of the glorious photography, again to absorb the description of each style, and yet again to enjoy lhe inspirational ideas." —GARDENS ILLUSTRAED

Rizzoli International Publications A History of the World in 10 Dinners
Book SynopsisFor every lover of food culture, this scrupulously researched and accessible cookbook presents one-of-a-kind dinner parties inspired by seminal moments in culinary history.In ten chapters—each an important moment in food history, from Ancient Rome to Al-Andalus in Spain, from the Ethiopian Empire to nineteenth-century New York City—the authors pair menus with immersive retellings of historic culinary breakthroughs, and present the ingredients and modern techniques adapted for today’s kitchens to allow cooks of all abilities to entertain with dishes that were created and enjoyed hundreds of years ago but remain relevant to today’s food tastes and values. Readers learn to orchestrate feasts from Apicus, blend spices from the Silk Road, feature indigenous ingredients of the Americas, revisit the “classics” from the Court of the Sun King, and savor the complex delicacies from the birth of the American restaurant scene.Trade Review“In 2014, food historians Victoria Flexner and Jay Reifel cooked up an NYC supper club called Edible History, a perfect pairing of fine dining and intellectual stimulation. Now they’ve spun the concept into A History of the World in 10 Dinners: 2,000 Years, 100 Recipes, which includes recipes for such dishes as Trimalchio’s pig (a roasted suckling pig with sausages) from ancient Rome, and glazed whore’s farts (meringues) from Versailles. ‘This book will present even the experienced cook with a shocking variety of unfamiliar ingredients,’ Reifel writes. ‘We have missed out on so many perspectives,’ writes Flexner. ‘’How do we learn about people who left nothing behind?’ Their book is one intriguing answer, and I savor the thought of reading it to my teenage daughter as she makes her way through AP World History.” — BookPage “Victoria Flexner and Jay Reifel set themselves an ambitious task in their History of the World in Ten Dinners, which attempts to give the reader a world history through various dishes that make up ten historical dinners. From ancient Rome with its Lucanian sausage (the forerunner of the modern Greek loukaniko—aromatic with orange peel—and the more-familiar Portuguese linguica) to an eighteenth-century French dish of braised partridge. These are among the easier recipes in the book; I think I’ll be avoiding Tudor England’s cockentrice—a chicken sewn into a pig, then roasted—delicious as it sounds. This book is delectable history that can be reenacted at home.” — The New Criterion"...features a fascinating collection of historical recipes paired with incredibly researched essays of the cultures and traditions surrounding the food. A few highlights include Honey Nut Sweets (Aliter Dulcia), Walnut-Lamb Patties (Maqluba), Decorated Marzipan (Marchpane), Salt Cod Stew (Baccalà in Umido), and Canapés." ~Tara's Multicultural Table
