Sibella Court sees the world differently. In her latest book, the stylist & bestselling author of ” Etcetera” shows us how to bring our travels home with us in the most unexpected of ways. The globetrotter & treasure hunter travelled to Syria, Mexico, Italy, India & Japan to be inspired by everything from door knobs & street signs to roadside shrines & household brooms
- things that most of us wouldn`t even notice. In ” Nomad”, the ideas, photographs & mementos she collected are used to inspire room settings, illustrating simple, practical & surprising ways to be reminded of your travel experiences. Sibella`s approach is not about recreating a whole look but about adding & subtracting, rearranging & recycling, transforming & rethinking to make interior spaces that reflect your personality, experiences & lifestyle. ” Nomad” will help open your eyes to what`s around you & fuel your imagination long after the suitcase is unpacked. Key points include: room settings are shot in private homes rather than a studio to show that any decorative background can be restyled with travel inspirations; Sibella Court`s philosophy is an organic & sustainable one, encouraging recycling & creatively re-using rather than consuming new resources.

From its sudden emergence as a military force to be reckoned with in Syria & Iraq in June 2014 through its You Tube executions of hostages to its atrocious attacks in Paris in November 2015, the movement variously known as ISIS, Islamic State & Daesh has compelled the world`s horrified attention. Where did it come from & how on earth should we respond? This No Nonsense book aims to answer all the questions that people are asking
- without jargon & in an easy-to-use FAQ format. It places ISIS in the broader context of the US-led `war on terror` from the Bush-Blair invasion of Iraq right through to Obama`s drone attacks & makes a strong case for responses that build peace & justice rather than feeding the cycle of violence & terror.

Nonstop Metropolis, the culminating volume in a trilogy of atlases, conveys innumerable unbound experiences of New York City through twenty-six imaginative maps & informative essays. Bringing together the insights of dozens of experts-from linguists to music historians, ethnographers, urbanists, & environmental journalists-amplified by cartographers, artists, & photographers, it explores all five boroughs of New York City & parts of nearby New Jersey. We are invited to travel through Manhattan`s playgrounds, from polyglot Queens to many-faceted Brooklyn, & from the resilient Bronx to the mystical kung fu hip-hop mecca of Staten Isl&. The contributors to this exquisitely designed & gorgeously illustrated volume celebrate New York City`s unique vitality, its incubation of the avant-garde, & its literary history, but they also critique its racial & economic inequality, environmental impact, & erasure of its past. Nonstop Metropolis allows us to excavate New York`s buried layers, to scrutinize its political heft, & to discover the unexpected in one of the most iconic cities in the world. It is both a challenge & homage to how New Yorkers think of their city, & how the world sees this capital of capitalism, culture, immigration, & more.
