| Description: |
Features photographs of flowers, in colour and black-and-white, against a range of backdrops (marbleized paper, opalescent glass). This title includes photographs of irises, rununculi, milkweed, morning glory, tulips, and orchids. |
| Synopsis: |
Christopher Beane's extraordinary work moves beyond the cliches of flower photography and has reinvigorated the genre with a different kind of intensity and vision, making flower images new again. Avoiding the hackneyed and sentimental, Beane's photographs have earned him comparisons to Robert Mapplethorpe, Georgia O'Keefe, Edward Weston, Brice Marden, and Richard Serra. In colour and black-and-white, against a range of backdrops (marbleized paper, opalescent glass), Beane photographs irises, rununculi, milkweed, morning glory, tulips, orchids, and more. There are dark, moody shots of flowers whose glory is nearly faded and brighter-than-sunshine images of young blossoms. Seed pods burst open revealing their fluffy contents, withered leaves curl protectively around berries, and frilly petals unfurl like a ball gown. "Flower" is a dazzling and sensuous celebration of colour and form, from one of today's most exciting artists. |

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
Fern Britton has been widely loved as the presenter of "Ready Steady Cook", and, co-presenter of "This Morning with Philip Schofield". Her warmth and humour, empathy and compassion, have made her feel like a best friend to millions, but no one knows the woman behind the sparkling smile. This title presents her story.
