Flow
£8.96
What really makes people glad to be alive? What are the inner experiences that make life worthwhile? For more than two decades Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi studied those states in which people report feelings of concentration & deep enjoyment. His studies revealed that what makes experience genuinely satisfying is 'flow'
- a state of concentration so focused that it amounts to complete absorption in an activity & results in the achievement of a perfect state of happiness. Flow has become the classic work on happiness & a major contribution to contemporary psychology. It examines such timeless issues as the challenge of lifelong learning; family relationships; art sport & sex as 'flow'; the pain of loneliness; optimal use of free time; & how to make our lives meaningful.

Flower
£16.00
This is a dazzling sensuous celebration of color & form by the photographer whom Architectural Digest" described as the love child of Georgia OKeeffe & Robert Mapplethorpe. When I agreed to write an essay for Beanes book recounts Anthony F. Janson esteemed curator & professor I had no idea I would be writing about one of the greatest photographers I have ever run across. It was easy enough for me to locate his position in the history of photography & art as a whole. I saw its importance immediately. Such an approach hardly begins to meet the challenge of explaining his work. With intensity vision & expressiveness Christopher Beane captures the beauty & the bizarre of the botanical. He concentrates on the overlooked detail: the veins of dehydrated petals the textures of poppy stamens the infinite compositions vines create & the multiple layers that constitute a ranunculus. In 150 photographs " Flower" explores the precious & perishable nature of flowers
- seed pods burst open withered leaves curl & frilly petals unfurl. Anthony F. Janson contributes a rich & engaging overview of the core ideas that define Beanes art offering the reader a context for thinking about this unique work while he chronicles its development. A thing of beauty " Flower" is the gift book everyone will welcome
- a testament to the remarkable talent of Christopher Beane & his passionate vision."

Flower Class Corvette
Agassiz
£16.00
The Flower class corvette was one of the most famous & numerous of all escort vessels & the corvette Agassiz is the most representative of the Canadian Flowers which were thrown into the thick of the bitter Atlantic convoy battles of 1941--2. Derived from a whalecatcher hull design & intended as a cheap coastal escort that could be built by non-specialist yards the Flowers were the only class available in large numbers when the submarine war flared up in earnest in 1941. As a result they were used on rigorous ocean convoy duties for which they were barely adequate & their crews suffered greatly in one of the harshest arenas of the second world war. This is a superb description of the ship & her career. The Anatomy of the Ship series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships & ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details & a record of the ships service history. ...
