As human beings have transitioned to indoor living, the need to keep the natural world close at hand has persisted. While traditional houseplants bring nature to the interior landscape, terrariums offer something different: A three dimensional window into a microcosm of the outside world. Mathilde Lelievre's Terrariums offers plant lovers step-by-step instructions for the creation of more than twenty stunning terrarium projects. Overviews of the tools, containers, plants and materials will ensure that aspiring indoor gardeners are well prepared. Separate sections cover open, closed, and advanced terrariums, each with its own palette of recommended plants and set of care instructions. Incredible photography elevates the book beyond how-to guide and makes it a covetable object for plant lovers of all kinds, whether they wish simply to look, or want to roll up their sleeves and create something beautiful.

With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger—Camus's masterpiece—gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward. Behind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life. “The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical anti-hero and ­devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity.” –from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.
