Japanese interiors focus primarily on one simple philosophy, Zen. All the rooms in a traditionally furnished Japanese home strive to achieve a balance of peace and simplicity; their interiors are steeped in centuries of cultural influence, and a sense of calm is key to the whole aesthetic. This handbook shows how to create a tailor-made Japanese home.
Working through the house one room at a time, it highlights classic items of furniture and signature accessories, from tatami mats and paper lanterns to shoji (dividing screens). In-depth case studies demonstrate the essential elements and provide inspiration, while colour combinations are explored to help personalize this iconic style for the home. Anyone who hankers after the Japanese look and is eager to bring it to their own home will find this book a valuable resource.
Interior design legend Cara Woodhouse presents a bold, modern aesthetic for a new generation of design enthusiasts—and shows us how to create spaces that we will truly love to inhabit
It's a Mood helps readers get in touch with their own design instincts. Organized by mood, this book offers both inspiration and practical advice for incorporating the elements that we feel passionate about.
For interior designer Cara Woodhouse, interiors are experiences. Her approach goes beyond the visual, creating spaces that intuitively tap into our senses and invoke a mood that washes over all who enter. Her instinct for capturing a person’s spirit and translating it into a personal space is unmatched.
Woodhouse’s interiors balance pattern play, an emphasis on eye candy, moody maximalism, quirky accents, and anything fun and random. With special tips on controlling sound in a space, what type of stone works best and when, and how to deck out your home office, this book is for everyone who wants to curate an authentic, original aesthetic perfectly tailored to their own preferences, while accentuating the beauty of each room.
This book appeals equally to those decorating their first apartments on a budget to those setting up their forever homes with signature touches.
The bold, modern design and sprayed edges make this coffee table book perfect for sharing, displaying, and gifting.
Równie ważnym, jak staranie się o możliwie najwyższy dochód z pasieki jest bez wątpienia najkorzystniejsze znalezienie odbiorcy i spieniężenie jej produktów (miodu, kitu pszczelego, wosku, pyłku, itp.). Troska o to jest w dzisiejszych czasach tym większa, że produkcja miodu spada. Podniesienie zysku z pasieki wiąże się ze sprzedażą jej produktów w formie najbardziej przetworzonej. Książka ta, będąca reprintem podręcznika Miodosytnictwa dr. T. Ciesielskiego, w znakomity sposób przybliża współczesnemu hodowcy pszczół tradycyjne, od staropolskich, po przedwojenne metody przerabiania miodu na trunki - w tym miody sycone, miody owocowe, a także wina. Szczególnie wyborne wina owocowo-miodowe i wina musujące. W książce znajdują się także receptury przygotowania i produkcji piwa na bazie miodu - w tym wspaniałego piwa jałowcowego. Autor Miodosytnictwa pisze: Dla nas, Polaków, nasz kraju z dawien dawna ma sławę Ojczyzny obfitującej w najlepsze miody. Hodowcy pszczół, pasiek, i dawniej i dzisiaj swoje sposoby produkcji przekazują rodom rodzinnym z pokolenia na pokolenie. Po dziś dzień stare miody polskie i ich przetwory eksportowane są na cały świat. Zapraszam do lektury nie tylko hodowców pasiek, ale i pasjonatów dbałości o zdrowie oraz miłośników miodu i produktów naturalnych z niego, którymi niejeden gospodarz czy pani domu może zaskoczyć domowników i gości.
An illustrated insider’s guide to the best flowering bulbs for beautiful garden plantings throughout the year
Bulbs are an essential part of any gardener’s planting palette – from the first snowdrops of winter to the last crocus of autumn, they offer endless opportunities for floral impact and experimentation.
In A Year in Bloom, award-winning garden writer Lucy Bellamy showcases a wide-ranging selection of more than 150 bulbs, each presented with informative text, expert planting advice, and vibrant photography.
Organized into four seasonal chapters, this modern grower’s guide embraces familiar flowers such as tulips and daffodils alongside less common blooms, including dog’s tooth violets, gladioli, and autumn snowflakes. Gardeners will discover bulbs suited for borders, containers, and grass plantings; bulbs to attract pollinators, for scent, for naturalized plantings; and reliably perennial bulbs that will flower year after year, supporting a sustainable approach.
Elegantly designed and extensively researched, A Year in Bloom features contributions from an all-star roster of the garden world’s greatest names, including Dutch plantsman Piet Oudolf, British garden designer Dan Pearson, and renowned US garden writer Margaret Roach.
Pierwsze wydanie tej książki ukazało się pod koniec XIX w i z każdym kolejnym wydaniem cieszył osię dużym powodzeniem wśród czytelników, co absolutnie nie dziwi. Bowiem Bohdan Dyakowski, autor książki, pisze o lesie, jak o żywym organizmie, na którego konarach i pod nimi żyje milion innych żyjątek, mniejszych i większych, zależnych od siebie bardziej lub mniej. I o tych żywych organizmach autor opowiada inną historię. Bohdan Dyakowski był przyrodnikiem i pedagogiem, który w piękny, literacki sposób propagował ideę ochrony przyrody tak, aby nie zniszczyć jej delikatnej natury i ocalić dla następnych pokoleń.

A brand-new addition to the Floramour series is " Floramour: Lilies". In this outstanding book of photographs, the author Till Hägele presents the varied beauty of this ornamental flower in an unprecedented way.
For centuries, the lilly has been cultivated in the most diverse cultures. Today, therefore, it appears in an almost unsurpassed splendour of colour and diversity of species. Throughout cultural history, the wonderful lily has not only exerted an optical fascination on people. Since time immemorial it has also been an integral part of festivals and religious customs as a floral symbol.
In ancient Greece, for example, it was the flower of Hera, the companion of the goddess of the gods, and in Hinduism it also occupies a central place in the world of the gods. In Christianity it stands for the purity and virginity of Mary and is a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.
For many flower lovers, the orchid is the epitome of luxury, grace and beauty. In the new book in the Floramour series "Floramour: Orchids", author Anja Klaffenbach pays tribute to this queen of the flower world. She not only illuminates the filigree flower wonder with spectacular photographs and sketches, but also presents exciting background information, packed into and entertaining texts.
Orchid breeding has a long tradition and by now more than 28,000 species and more than 100,000 hybrids and varieties are known. And perhaps the diversity of these ornamental plants can also be explained from a historical perspective. In this colourful coffee-table book, Klaffenbach explores this question and paints a portrait of the orchid through the ages. The aesthetics of the flower were already highly valued in ancient China. It served as a symbol of purity and luxury. In Japan, it was the distinguishing mark of the noble warrior caste of the samurai and was found on the clothing and weapons of the fighters. In Hinduism, the lovely orchid is a representative of wealth and prosperity and a coveted offering at numerous religious festivals.
