        Water Town

        by Can Xue

        Can Xue's latest novel "Water Town" is an artistic display of the complex history of human experience. What kind of survival is free survival? These thousand years of questioning have become extremely urgent in this era. The individual lives created by the writer are squeezed like a magic one by one, forcing themselves, fighting hard amidst the revelation of a grand and dim allegory background, and unanimously following the vague call to the magic after a long journey. Water town. In this wonderland, people will realize their dreams as long as they act. Everything is possible, the power of life rushes to the peak of ideals in the carnival... and the earth responds to the heartbeat in calmness. The free survival of man is a performance art activity, which is also the ancient essential impulse of man. "Water Village" is not only a display of artistic life, but also an advocacy of this kind of life.

        How to be multiple

        The philosophy of twins

        by Helena de Bres, Julia de Bres

        In How to be multiple, Helena de Bres - a twin herself - argues that twinhood is a unique lens for examining our place in the world and how we relate to other people. The way we think about twins offers remarkable insights into some of the deepest questions of our existence, from what is a person? to how should we treat one another? Deftly weaving together literary and cultural history, philosophical enquiry and personal experience, de Bres examines such thorny issues as binary thinking, objectification, romantic love and friendship, revealing the limits of our individualistic perspectives. In this illuminating, entertaining book, wittily illustrated by her twin sister, de Bres ultimately suggests that to consider twinhood is to imagine the possibility of a more interconnected, capacious human future.

        Passage to Wonderland

        Rephotographing Joseph Stimson's Views of the Cody Road to Yellowstone National Park, 1903 and 2008

        by Michael A. Amundson (Author) , Joseph Stimson (Photographer)

        In 1903 the Cody Road opened, leading travelers from Cody, Wyoming, to Yellowstone National Park. Cheyenne photographer J. E. Stimson traveled the route during its first week in existence, documenting the road for the state of Wyoming's contribution to the 1904 World's Fair. His images of now-famous landmarks like Cedar Mountain, the Shoshone River, the Holy City, Chimney Rock, Sylvan Pass, and Sylvan Lake are some of the earliest existing photographs of the route. In 2008, 105 years later, Michael Amundson traveled the same road, carefully duplicating Stimson's iconic original photographs. In Passage to Wonderland, these images are paired side by side and accompanied by a detailed explanation of the land and history depicted.   Amundson examines the physical changes along "the most scenic fifty miles in America" and explores the cultural and natural history behind them. This careful analysis of the paired images make Passage to Wonderland more than a "then and now" photography book--it is a unique exploration of the interconnectedness between the Old West and the New West. It will be a wonderful companion for those touring the Cody Road as well as those armchair tourists who can follow the road on Google Earth using the provided GPS coordinates.

        Adventures in the Garden

        by Isabel Bannerman (author), Julian Bannerman (author)

        Isabel and Julian Bannerman have been described as "mavericks in the grand manner, touched by genius" (Min Hogg, World of Interiors)and "the Bonnie and Clyde of garden design" (Ruth Guilding, The Bible of British Taste).  Their approach to design, whie rooted in history and the classical tradition, is fresh, eclectic and surprising. They designed the British 9/11 Memorial Garden in New York and have also designed gardens for the Prince of Wales at Highgrove and the Castle of Mey, Lord Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk at Arundel Castle in Sussex and John Paul Getty II at Wormsley in Buckhamshire. The garden they made for themselves at Hanham Court near Bath was acclaimed by Gardens Illustrated as the top garden of 2009, ahead of Sissinghurst. When they moved from Hanham it was to the fairytale castle of Trematon overlooking Plymouth Sound, where they have created yet another magical garden. Wonderland: Adventures in the Garden celebrates the imaginative and practical process of designing, making and planting all of these gardens, and many more.

        A Hospital Odyssey

        by Colin Ludlow

        When television producer Colin Ludlow was admitted to hospital for an operation, he expected to be home in ten days. In the event, he ended up staying for five months, nearly died on several occasions, contracted MRSA, and was still recovering from his experiences more than three years later.In "Shadows in Wonderland" he tells his story, and takes a fascinating philosophical journey through chronic illness as he explores its wider significance. The book is a moving account of how the author pieced together the shattered fragments of his life and sought to make sense of them again. It is the record of a quest - which we all face - for health and wholeness in a fractured, disjointed world.
