Rustic isn't what it used to be. Gone are the days when rustic style meant fusty dried flower arrangements, antlers over a stone fireplace and acres of tartan. At its heart, the modern rustic look celebrates the fabric of a home, from the roof beams to the brickwork. This style revels in earthy colours and rich textures; in natural materials such as wood and stone; and the ruggedly handsome bones of a building. In this book, stylist Emily Henson and writer Joanna Simmons first lead you through the Elements of the Modern Rustic look. Pure Rustic elegantly blends clean lines with muted shades of grey. Bohemian Rustic mixes texture and pattern with lush colour, while Pop Rustic teams raw wood with pops of neon and tongue-in-cheek artworks. Retro Rustic, meanwhile, brings a relaxed feel, showcasing beaten-up leather armchairs and brick floors. In Details, textiles, furniture, fabric and display are explored, while Living Spaces shows how Modern Rustic style translates beautifully to every room in the house.

When someone is being treated for cancer, his or her self-image can be shattered. Suddenly, not only are you fighting for your life, a stranger is staring back at you from the mirror. Your hair is gone, your nails are brittle, your complexion is pasty -- everything changes. These changes attack your self-image and the very core of your physical and emotional identity. Many cancer patients continue working, going to school, and caring for their families while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. Yet the side effects of these treatments often make patients feel too embarrassed or self-conscious to function at full potential. Ramy Gafni, one of New York City's top makeup artists and creator of the Ramy beauty therapy(r) cosmetics line, experienced these frustrations himself while undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 31. He utilised his knowledge of makeup techniques to minimise the 'pinched' and sallow look he developed during his treatments. In this beautiful, unique book, Gafni offers practical solutions for overcoming and managing the major dermatologic 'damage' done by cancer treatment -- hair loss, skin damage, sallow complexion.

The first book on magazine sensation Holiday, which between 1946 and 1977 was one of the most exciting publications in the world. Renowned for its bold layouts, literary credibility, and ambitious choice of photographers and artists, Holiday portrayed the romance of travel like no other periodical. At Holiday magazine's peak, urbane editor, Ted Patrick, and visionary art director, Frank Zachary, invited postwar America to see and read about the world. On the journey, readers joined the magazine's renowned roster of talent. Some of the most celebrated writing by Jack Kerouac, Ernest Hemingway, Graham Greene, Joan Didion, Truman Capote, Colette, and E. B. White (his piece "Here Is New York" was commissioned for Holiday in 1949) first appeared in its pages. Henri Cartier-Bresson documented a breathtaking Paris and other cities; Slim Aarons captured the glamour of travel around the world; and Al Hirschfeld and Ludwig Bemelmans contributed showstopping illustrations of places and personages. Pamela Fiori writes about the magazine's history, giving it context during the era of the jet age, world turbulence, and the rise of Madison Avenue advertising. Holiday was a vibrant original, inspiring travel magazines that followed and leaving glorious photography and art as well as thought-provoking journalism in its wake.
