| Synopsis: |
Art Deco was the style that swept across the globe during the 1920s and 1930s and created the defining look of the interwar years. Its influence was ubiquitous: it touched the design of everything from jazz music to cinemas and Hollywood films to the packaging of cigarettes, from eveningwear and accessories to luxury liners and locomotives.This lavish book brings together nearly 40 leading experts in the field to discuss the phenomenon that was Art Deco - its sources, its varied forms of expression, and the way it refined and redefined itself as it spread throughout the world. With breathtaking illustrations and a text both thought-provoking and scholarly, it will stand as the definitive book on what was, arguably, the most popular style of the twentieth century. |

Scarpetta
Kay Scarpetta takes up an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured patient in a psychiatric ward. The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her. The story he has to tell turns out to be one of the most bizarre she has ever heard. Is his paranoid tale true? The only thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered, and that more violent deaths will follow.

Just What I Always Wanted
What do Mount Kilimanjaro, a hundred-million-dollar marble mansion, a pair of handcuffs, a jar of walnut jam, the bleeding heart of a dead elk, an incontinent donkey, two Scottish terriers called Negus and Stasi, a fur-lined jockstrap, and the fossilized bowel movement of a turtle have in common? They have all been offered as birthday presents to some rather famous people. This book presents a curiously compelling collection of celebrity birthday gifts from the 16th century to the present day.

Fern
