    Táto autorka píše dojemné príbehy o láske, strate, zrade a rodine, ktoré skúmajú, aká môže byť láska zložitá a zároveň krásna. Tiež rada tvorí romantické komédie, kde si postavy môžu trochu flirtovať a zabávať sa. Jej tvorba je inšpirovaná nádhernou krajinou Northumberlandu. Autorka verí v nasledovanie snov a tvrdú prácu, čo jej po rokoch písania prinieslo vydavateľskú zmluvu.

    • Katzen sind die beliebtesten Haustiere der Deutschen – und das, obwohl sie kommen und gehen, wie es ihnen gefällt. Außerhalb unserer vier Wände führen sie ein geheimes Leben, das uns verborgen bleibt. Doch kehren sie stets zurück, denn sie schätzen unser Futter, ein Dach über dem Kopf und – wenn wir Glück haben – den Platz auf unserem Schoß. Sie schenken ihre Zuneigung nicht jedem und zeigen ihre Gefühle nur, wenn es ihnen passt, aber gerade das fasziniert uns an ihnen. Welchen Einfluss Katzen auf das Werk internationaler Künstler bis heute ausüben und wie diese ihre Lieblinge auf Leinwand oder Papier verewigten, zeigt dieser Band. Ob schwarz, weiß oder getigert, Langhaar-, Kurzhaar- oder Nacktkatze – in über hundert Bildern vom späten 15. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart wird hier die Schönheit, Anmut und gewisse Rätselhaftigkeit bezeugt, die diese klugen und eigensinnigen Geschöpfe umgibt. - Mit über hundert Werken von großen Künstlern und jungen Talenten weltweit - Begleitet von kurzen und originellen Texten über unser beliebtestes Haustier

But cupcake by cupcake she wins the locals over, including teashop stalwart, Doris, and Ellie's showstopping bakes look set to go down in castle history! Now all that's missing in Ellie's life is a slice of romance - can Joe, the brooding estate manager, be the one to put the cherry on the top of Ellie's dream?

    • This is the story of the rise to national power of a desperately poor young man from the Texas Hill Country, and the first volume in Robert Caro's The Years of Lyndon Johnson, hailed as `the greatest biography of our era'.

      One of the most acclaimed books of our time, winner of both the Pulitzer and the Francis Parkman prizes, The Power Broker tells the hidden story behind the shaping (and mis-shaping) of twentieth-century New York (city and state) and makes public what few have known: that Robert Moses was, for almost half a century, the single most powerful man of our time in New York, the shaper not only of the city's politics but of its physical structure and the problems of urban decline that plague us today.In revealing how Moses did it--how he developed his public authorities into a political machine that was virtually a fourth branch of government, one that could bring to their knees Governors and Mayors (from La Guardia to Lindsay) by mobilizing banks, contractors, labor unions, insurance firms, even the press and the Church, into an irresistible economic force--Robert Caro reveals how power works in all the cities of the United States. Moses built an empire and lived like an emperor. He personally conceived and completed public works costing 27 billion dollars--the greatest builder America (and probably the world) has ever known. Without ever having been elected to office, he dominated the men who were--even his most bitter enemy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, could not control him--until he finally encountered, in Nelson Rockefeller, the only man whose power (and ruthlessness in wielding it) equalled his own.

      21st-Century Collage

      In the digital age, the original meaning of cut and paste has been replaced with a few clicks of a mouse, This has led to a lot of derivative and unimaginative computer produced work. In response to this, artists have returned to using more traditional methods of making images. There has been a resurgence of drawing and illustration and collage has recently been rediscovered. Collage is the natural progression of illustration, as it combines drawing with the other mediums. It is the fusing of methods that makes for a new language. Increasingly, collage is being used in ads, magazine editorials, fashion spreads, street art, album covers, animation and websites: from the Prada Menswear Spring Summer 09 invitation (Milan) to the editorial of Butt Magazine, from Brahma beer poster campaigns featuring the work of Brazilian artists such as Speto and Giga to posters for the Tate Gallery. The surreal juxtaposition of images provokes thought, humour and understanding, two-dimensional images become three.
