Feng Shui: Arranging Your Home to Change Your Life by Kirsten M. Lagatree, ISBN 0679765433
With feng shui, the ancient Chinese art of placement, you can change your life by rearranging your home. The careful arrangement of the contents of any room, from kitchen to office, can dramatically improve your health, finances, and relationships. Creating good feng shui can be as simple as moving your furniture, and as subtle as hanging a mirror or highlighting an auspicious color. Feng shui can be as personal as your own decorating taste: Once you set your goals and priorities - whether to improve family harmony or succeed in business - you can put feng shui to work especially for you. This easy-to-use room-by-room handbook provides tips for good feng shui in every part of your home, as well as simple cures for feng shui problems: If you have an interior staircase that directly faces your front door, good luck may be running directly out the door - and out of your life. A mirror on the landing of the stairs can draw in positive energy and circulate it around your home for better luck. For more restful sleep and better health, move your bed away from overhanging beams. A beam that cuts across a bed can create aches and pains in the parts of the body exposed to it - virtually "cutting in half" the life of the sleeper - and a beam that divides the bed between the sleepers can result in marital problems. Keep stove burners clean - clogged burners can block your income potential - and use all the burners regularly. The heat and energy passing through these openings will keep your family's business prospects from growing cold. Move your desk so it faces your office door, not the wall. If your back is to the door, you'll be surprised by people coming in - as well as by what they have tosay. Enhance your finances by placing a fish tank in your living room or office.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Design, and Interior Designs
The great Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (18681928) has come to be seen as one of the most influential early modern designers. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, whom he rivals in popularity today, Mackintosh viewed the design of furniture and interiors as a vital part of his architectural work. Today, original Mackintosh pieces are fabulously expensive, but reproductions and objects based on his design ideas are still wildly popular.
This is the fourth edition of the primary reference work on Mackintosh furniture and the first time it has been in print in twenty years. Completely revised and redesigned, with new information and many new color illustrations, the book documents every surviving piece of Mackintosh furniture and every drawing, as well as his interior designs (including reconstructions of interiors that have been destroyed). This is an essential reference for collectors, art historians, designers, and anyone interested in the origins of modern design.

Embers by Sandor Marai, ISBN 0375407561
The rediscovery of a masterpiece of Central European literature originally published in Budapest in 1942 and un-
known to modern readers until last year. An extraordinary novel about a triangular relationship, about love, friendship, and fidelity, about betrayal, pride, and true nobility.
In a castle at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, an old aristocrat waits to greet the friend he has not seen for forty-one years. In the course of this one night, from dinner until dawn, the two men will fight a duel of words and silences, of stories, of accusations and evasions, that will encompass their entire lives and that of a third person, missing from the candlelit dining hall--the now dead chatelaine of the castle. The last time the three of them sat together was in this room, after a stag hunt in the forest. The year was 1900. No game was shot that day, but the reverberations were cataclysmic. And the time of reckoning has finally arrived.
Already a great international best-seller,...
