The spectacular medieval castle where Henry V died, Napoleon's private chateau, dancing in fifties guinguette cafes, a Victorian gunpowder factory - these are just some of the unexpected delights discovered by Annabel Simms just half an hour from Paris.
Following the format of her small classic An Hour from Paris, and written with the same delight in the little-known treasures of the Ile de France, Half an Hour from Paris presents 10 new destinations easy to reach from central Paris, each with a carefully planned walk, ample meanderings through the cultural, historical and social milieu, comprehensive practical information and clear, detailed maps.
Specializing in the most-prized gemstones, from Colombian emeralds to sapphires found in the remote hills of Kashmir, David Morris celebrates color, flawless craftsmanship, and unique creativity in jewelry design. This is the jewelry houses first major book.
David Morris established his eponymous fine jewelry house in 1962 at the height of the Swinging Sixties and quickly gained a global reputation for his opulent use of the rarest, most extraordinary gemstones and for innovative design sought by jewelry connoisseurs the world over. The houses creations--now overseen by his son Jeremy Morris--are all designed and handcrafted to exacting standards in the New Bond Street atelier.
This sumptuous slipcased tome, featuring brand-new photography and newly commissioned gouaches created especially for the book, delves into the enchanting history of David Morris, aka the London Jeweler, whose legacy shines as brilliantly as the gemstones the house atelier transforms into objects of art. Over the years the house has gained a reputation for adorning Hollywood, British, and European royals from Elizabeth Taylor to Diana, Princess of Wales. Today, a David Morris jewel still radiates star quality, connecting the brands storied past to its future. This first major monograph debuts some of the houses latest, most innovative designs as well as a large selection of its most famous pieces, and beautifully showcases the sophistication and creativity of one of the most masterful jewelers working today.

A startlingly original first novel by "this generation's answer to Alice Munro" (The Vancouver Sun)--a bold reimagining of one of history's most intriguing relationships: between legendary philosopher Aristotle and his most famous pupil, the young Alexander the Great.
342 BC: Aristotle is reluctant to set aside his own ambitions in order to tutor Alexander, the rebellious son of his boyhood friend Philip of Macedon. But the philosopher soon comes to realize that teaching this charming, surprising, sometimes horrifying teenager--heir to the Macedonian throne, forced onto the battlefield before his time--is a necessity amid the ever more sinister intrigues of Philip's court.
Told in the brilliantly rendered voice of Aristotle--keenly intelligent, often darkly funny--The Golden Mean brings ancient Greece to vivid life via the story of this remarkable friendship between two towering figures, innovator and conqueror, whose views of the world still resonate today.

Secrets, romance, murder and lies: Zoe shares a terrible secret in a letter to a stranger on death row in this second novel from the author of the bestselling debut, MY SISTER LIVES ON THE MANTELPIECE.
Fifteen-year-old Zoe has a secret - a dark and terrible secret that she can't confess to anyone she knows. But then one day she hears of a criminal, Stuart Harris, locked up on death row in Texas. Like Zoe, Stuart is no stranger to secrets. Or lies. Or murder.
Full of heartache yet humour, Zoe tells her story in the only way she can - in letters to the man in prison in America. Armed with a pen, Zoe takes a deep breath, eats a jam sandwich and begins her tale of love and betrayal.
Viele von uns waren sich des Einflusses unserer Vergangenheit, unserer Erlebnisse und der Geschichte unserer noch lebenden oder abwesenden Vorfahren auf unsere eigene Familiengeschichte bewusst. Für viele steht sogar die Existenz eines Lebens nach dem Tod außer Zweifel. Aber wie beeinflusst uns diese Parallelwelt? Wie weit bringt sie uns unter bestimmten Bedingungen durcheinander, ohne dass wir es bemerken?
Weit davon entfernt, die Welt des Jenseits zu banalisieren, machen uns die bei zahlreichen Diskussionen mit den deinkarnierten Seelen gesammelten Informationen bewusst, dass wir nicht nur einfache, vorübergehende Menschen auf dieser Erde sind, ausschließlich damit beschäftigt, unsere materiellen Bedürfnisse zu stillen, oder unsere Suche nach dem, was wir für das Glück halten. Wir sind Teil eines Ganzen, in dem sich das Davor und das Danach, die anderen und wir, in einer Absicht der Einheit und der gemeinsamen Entwicklung mischen.
Darüber hinaus ist es uns, dank der Offenbarungen eines hohen spirituellen Führers gegeben, das Prinzip und den Sinn der Reinkarnationen sehr detailliert zu verstehen. Sie sind nicht durch den Zufall programmiert, und sie erlauben unserer Seele, sich zu entwickeln, indem sie in unserer Spur die Einflüsse unserer negativen oder positiven Handlungen und Gedanken hinterlassen.
Uns der Existenz unserer Geistführer und des Prinzips des Universums bewusst zu werden, in dem wir uns entwickeln - und das viel ausgedehnter ist, als wir es uns vorstellen können -, wird uns ermöglichen, die Bedeutung unseres Lebens und unserer Erlebnisse zu verstehen.
