Entangled Life - How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures by Merlin Sheldrake

$35.00 AUD

Category: Gardening

'A dazzling, vibrant, vision-changing book. Sentence after sentence stopped me short. I ended it wonderstruck at the fungal world. A remarkable work by a remarkable writer' - ROBERT MACFARLANE, author of Underland. There is a lifeform so strange and wondrous that it forces us to rethink how life works. .. Neither plant nor animal, it is found throughout the earth, the air and our bodies. It can be microscopic, yet also accounts for the largest organisms ever recorded, living for millennia and weighing tens of thousands of tonnes. Its ability to digest rock enabled the first life on land, it can survive unprotected in space, and thrives amidst nuclear radiation. In this captivating adventure, Merlin Sheldrake explores the spectacular and neglected world of fungi: endlessly surprising organisms that sustain nearly all living systems. They can solve problems without a brain, stretching traditional definitions of 'intelligence', and can manipulate animal behaviour with devastating precision. In giving us bread, alcohol and life-saving medicines, fungi have shaped human history, and their psychedelic properties, which have influenced societies since antiquity, have recently been shown to alleviate a number of mental illnesses. The ability of fungi to digest plastic, explosives, pesticides and crude oil is being harnessed in break-through technologies, and the discovery that they connect plants in underground networks, the 'Wood Wide Web', is transforming the way we understand ecosystems. Yet they live their lives largely out of sight, and over ninety percent of their species remain undocumented. Entangled Life is a mind-altering journey into this hidden kingdom of life, and shows that fungi are key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel and behave. The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. ...Show more

Category: Interior Design

From the creator of the award-winning Slow Home podcast comes Slow--the perfect companion on the long road to living a simpler and more fulfilled life. Once upon a time, Brooke McAlary thought she was close to having it all. Married to a wonderful man, mother to a lively young daughter and pregnant for a second time, she'd acquired all the things she'd once thought important--holidays, cars, a renovated home. Yet despite this, she found herself utterly despondent. Realising that they wanted a simpler, more fulfilling existence, Brooke and her family gradually created their own way of living, with an emphasis on depth, connection and experiences. In Slow, Brooke gently encourages you to find pleasure and value in a simpler life, sharing the practical tips and rituals that have helped her on her own journey, from decluttering to de-owning, messiness to mindfulness, from asking why to asking where to now? Part memoir, part practical companion, Slow provides a fascinating insight into the benefits of slowing down. It will inspire you to forget about the Joneses and create a life filled with the things that really matter to you...slowly, of course. ...Show more

Matisse: the Books by Louise Rogers Lalaurie; Matisse Estate

$130.00 AUD

Available Stock:
1

Category: Art History

The livre d'artiste, or 'artist's book', born out of the French Belle Epoque, is a celebration of high aestheticism and refined craftsmanship. Matisse's eight limited-edition, painstakingly crafted livres d'artiste were created during a period of illness and intense personal suffering for the artist, an d conflict and occupation for France. Vilified by peers such as Picasso for remaining in the 'Free' Vichy Zone throughout the Second World War, and sidelined by the conservatism of the critical establishment, Matisse produced these works at a key turning point, before the extraordinary 'second life'of his paper cut-outs. In concert with an eclectic selection of poetry, drama and, tantalizingly, the artist's own words, the books' images offer an astonishing portrait of creative resistance and regeneration. But while individual elements are widely reproduced, their origins and context are often overlooked. With deftness and sensitivity, Louise Rogers Lalaurie reintroduces us to Matisse's books. Examining the page-by-page interplay between text and images, translating key sequences and discussing each book's distinct themes and context, the author offers the thoughtful, illuminating close reading they require. Generously illustrated with archival images and new photography, Matisse: The Books offers readers unprecedented insight into the experience of reading - and looking at - Matisse's books. ...Show more

$39.95 AUD

Available Stock:

Bark painting, as practised by Aboriginal artists of Arnhem Land for millennia, is one of the great traditions of world art. Yet it was only recognised as such late in the 20th century.

An Entertaining Story by India Hicks; Brooke Shields (Foreword by)

$110.00 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Interior Design

Style icon India Hicks - daughter of the late David Hicks and goddaughter to Prince Charles - is known for her irreverent take on style, which is a mix of her traditional British past and relaxed island present. In her previous books for Rizzoli, she invited readers into her homes on Harbour Island and in England, sharing décor inspiration and family anecdotes. Now in her latest book, she presents her own slightly madcap spin on entertaining, sharing parties and tabletops organised around meals, beginning with "Let's Start with a Drink" to ending with "The Great British Breakfast." In between there are birthday celebrations featuring her children through the years, a White Christmas in the Bahamas, a picnic lunch on the Thames, among many others. Like India, these parties are full of personality, from the Panic Dinner (or what to do when you suddenly have a crowd descending); to The Great English Breakfast (as demonstrated by her mother, Lady Pamela Hicks) to The Naked Cake (cake decorating for the time-challenged). Each celebration includes cleverly beautiful yet easily implemented advice and inspiration for place settings, homemade flower arrangements, table design and more. Each chapter also includes two delicious recipes from India's chef, fondly known as Top Banana, from traditional English dishes such as Victoria Sponge and Chicken Pies to tropical treats such as The Marquess' Banana Daquiri. ...Show more
