Living Willow Sculpture by Jon Warnes, ISBN 0855328347
Willow is an exciting material to work with. It is adaptable, easy to work with, and it will grow in a range of soils. Its quick growth gives almost immediate results and, as there is a great variety of leaf shape and stem colour, structures look attractive throughout the year. Jon Warnes shows how to build a wonderful selection of decorative, functional and fun objects for the garden.
Children will enjoy making and playing in wigwams, domes and tunnels. More advanced projects, suitable for adults, include fences, chairs and arbours.
Jon Warnes discusses the tools you need, planting the willow, joining, grafting and weaving in detail, and includes other makers' work in different styles to inspire you to create your own designs.
The Academic Deanship: Individual Careers and Institutional Roles by David F. Bright, ISBN 0787953504
A deanship was once thought of as the crowning achievement at the end of an academic career. Today the very nature of the job has changed, and a dean may hold several deanships over the course of her life as an educator. A deanship is now seen as more of a phase in an overall academic career than as a permanent shift from teaching to administration.
Illuminating both the challenges and rewards of the job, this down-to-earth book provides aspiring and new deans with a useful guide for working through the often complex process of assuming and managing the role of dean. Written by David F. Bright and Mary P. Richards-- who together have served nine deanships at six different institutions-- "The Academic Deanship combines the unique perspective of these two experienced deans. It contains information on how to approach the interview process and the new job, a thoughtful assessment of the deanship in its wider context, and reflections on how to know when it is right to move in or out...

Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s by Cara Greenberg, ISBN 0517884755
Mid-Century Modern is a loving tribute to the innovative furniture of the fifties and its enduring popularity. Fully illustrated with more than 200 full-color and black-and-white photographs, this visual tour reveals the best of post-war furniture, from high-concept designs to their kitschy counterparts. The fifties were a unique time in the history of the furniture industry. Designers with backgrounds in architecture created organically shaped furniture using the new technologies and materials developed during the war. Sensuous biomorphic designs proliferated. Appreciative consumers treasured the sleek, elegant, and functional designs of Charles Eames, George Nelson, Isamu Nogushi, Eero Saarinen, Harry Bertoia, and many others. This new furniture stacked, flexed, and folded; it was rearrangeable and interchangeable; and it addressed the needs of modern life. The book's highlights include the ten best chairs of the fifties, inside looks at the homes of top collectors, rare photographs from...
