The gardener's palette : creating colour harmony in the garden / by Thompson, Jo(Landscape architect),author.; Royal Horticultural Society (Great Britain),issuing body.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From the world's most respected gardening organization comes a new, soon-to-be classic volume that treats a traditional topic in a new way: a fresh concept of how to present color planting schemes to the reader, fresh graphic display for an encyclopedic topic, and an energetic, renowned garden designer as author who's won multiple medals at Chelsea and elsewhere. In conjunction with the RHS, author Jo Thompson presents a way for home gardeners to think about color that is new to garden publishing but familiar to anyone who's ever painted a room in their home. By referencing the RHS's industry-standard color chip system as if it were paint chips from a hardware store, Jo will create 100 predesigned color palettes, pair them with beautiful full-color hero shots of existing gardens to give readers a feel for how they will look in real life, and run easy-to-decipher, crisply designed and modern-looking charts and thumbnails of flower head shots to present readers with plants in those exact colors that they can use to get the look. We'll also include sidebars on related topics and 10 popular RHS planting schemes, as further inspiration to readers. Combined, these will make the book the most comprehensive volume on garden color ever produced"--

Shell : a novel / by Olsson, Kristina,1956-author.;
"In this spellbinding and poignant historical novel--perfect for fans of All the Light We Cannot See and The Flamethrowers--a Swedish glassmaker and a fiercely independent Australian journalist are thrown together amidst the turmoil of the 1960s and the dawning of a new modern era. 1965: As the United States becomes further embroiled in the Vietnam War, the ripple effects are far-reaching--even to the other side of the world. In Australia, a national military draft has been announced and Pearl Keogh, a headstrong and ambitious newspaper reporter, has put her job in jeopardy to become involved in the anti-war movement. Desperate to locate her two runaway brothers before they're called to serve, Pearl is also hiding a secret shame--the guilt she feels for not doing more for her younger siblings after their mother's untimely death. Newly arrived from Sweden, Axel Lindquist is set to work as a sculptor on the besieged Sydney Opera House. After a childhood in Europe, where the shadow of WWII loomed large, he seeks to reinvent himself in this utterly foreign landscape, and finds artistic inspiration--and salvation--in the monument to modernity that is being constructed on Sydney's Harbor. But as the nation hurtles towards yet another war, Jørn Utzon, the Opera House's controversial architect, is nowhere to be found--and Axel fears that the past he has tried to outrun may be catching up with him. As the seas of change swirl around them, Pearl and Axel's lives orbit each other and collide in this sweeping novel of art and culture, love and destiny"--

Little Crosses A Novel [electronic resource] : by Reeves, Sabrina.aut; cloudLibrary;
A daughter examines her complicated relationship with a charismatic, narcissistic mother who now lives with alcohol-related dementia. When Cassie Wolfe brings her mother, Nina, to the Albuquerque Presbyterian Hospital to be detoxed, the doctors ask her to write a profile of the patient. But how can she fit Nina into a Word document? The last two years have left Cassie stunned, unable to reconcile the shell of a woman lying in the hospital bed with the force of nature that was her mother. Cassie's memories of Nina span decades and landscapes, from a farmhouse in Massachusetts to the streets of New York and the mountains of New Mexico. Nina was a charismatic iconoclast—an architect and builder who could wield a circular saw as easily as discuss politics art. But as Cassie comes to realize, Nina's brilliant constructions were only possible when she walled off whole sides of herself. Hiding is not unique to Nina—Cassie knows AA is full of just such intelligent, hilarious, powerful women. And when her critical gaze turns to her own life and how she’s raising her two daughters, she sees her mother's influence everywhere. In the end, Nina's devastating descent threatens to pull the family under, and Cassie's constant action is propelled by grief until she realizes that all that remains is to let it go.General adult.
