Where does private space end and public space begin? How does the individual set about defining these boundaries? How have the computer and the internet altered the relationship between private and public space? Photographer Jacqueline Hassink explores these and similar questions in her project "Mindscapes". Looking at the USA and Japan, two of the economically most influential countries in the world, she has captured the rooms of CEOs, the screen savers of top managers, the coffee cups of office personnel, the extravagant shoes of star designers, or the changing rooms of leading fashion houses in photos taken in 500 leading companies. She creates not only a photographic excursion through closed spaces, but also a mosaic of those private articles which are used to bridge the gap between public and private rooms. Author and photographer Jacqueline Hassink lives and works in New York. Since 1993 her photos have been exhibited in Europe and the USA.
An intimate and moving account of modern farming and our changing relationship with the land 'An honest look at the farming life today. Raw, earthy and inspiring' - Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment 'A beautifully written, incredibly timely book' - Clover Stroud, author of My Wild and Sleepless Nights When barrister and author Sarah Langford left her city life behind she found herself unexpectedly back in the world of farming. It was not how she remembered. Instead, she saw farmers dealing with very different problems to those faced by her grandfather, considered a hero for having fed a starving nation after war. Now farmers faced accusations of ecological mismanagement by a hostile urban media whilst battling extreme weather and political upheaval. Yet as Sarah learned how to farm and grew closer to the land, she discovered a new generation on a path of regenerative change. In Rooted, Sarah weaves her own story around those who taught her what it means to be a farmer. She shines a light on the human side of modern farming, and shows how land connects us all, not only in terms of global sustainability but in our relationships with our physical and mental health, our communities and our planet. 'Moving, startling, uplifting, galvanising and unsettling, this plainly beautiful book is one of those rare few that changes how you see the world around you' - Ella Risbridger, author of The Year of Miracles 'Heartbreaking and hopeful, this story of a farming revival has never been more important' - Esther Freud
From Simon & Schuster, Success and Betrayal offers the groundbreaking insight into the myth of the unlimited potential, the mystique of power, and the elusive path to the top. In their hard hitting book, two successful corporate managers describe a classic series of "landings" that women must confront both to thrive in the corporate environment and to achieve a guiltless balance between career and personal life.
Horror descends on the small town of Ashley Springs, Arkansas, when the slaughter of some of its most respected business men begins. Amy Bordeaux, owner of an antique shop, discovers the body of the second victim. She has a precognitive flash of another murder not yet committed. Amy is unable to convince Sheriff Frank Morgan of the validity of her vision. Another man is murdered exactly as she "saw" it. Frank, who knew all three victims as young men, believes that past events in their lives have come back to haunt them. He secretly thinks that Amy's precognition is real, and is afraid she will identify the killer before he can make an arrest. Frank decides to confront the person he believes to be guilty. Later, his deputies report him missing. Amy, desperate to stop both the visions and the killings, has begun her own investigation. She is unaware that the killer is watching her every move. When she stumbles upon the sheriff's body in a most unexpected place, Amy is forced to accept the unacceptable when the killer stands before her. She literally runs for her life.
