An ambitious, lavishly illustrated survey of the most valuable of precious gems Sparkling, glittering, and gleaming, emeralds are gemstones twenty times rarer than diamonds. In the first section of Emerald, we see pieces worn by celebrities ranging from Elizabeth Taylor and Angelina Jolie to royals such as Princess Diana, all alongside classic images of emeralds from art, advertising, and fashion. The second part of this major volume showcases more than thirty of the world's most significant and famous pieces of emerald jewelry, including many previously unseen designs from private and royal collections. Historic creations that are almost 5,500 years old are represented alongside modern jewelry houses, including Cartier, Boucheron, Bulgari, Harry Winston, and more. The third and final part tells the story of the emerald trade from mine to market, illustrated with specially commissioned photography from across four continents. 400 color illustrations

At 35, despite his determination to be different from his parents, Jonathan Self found his life echoing theirs: he was a twice-divorced absent father with three young children, one in the UK and two in Australia. In this frank, moving and often funny memoir, Self documents his efforts to break the family mould and become a different kind of parent. Highly personal in its discussion of alcohol, drug and sexual abuse and filled with extraordinary characters and events, SELF ABUSE also tells a more universal story - a story about best intentions goig awry, of the pain of being separated from one's children, and of the deep impact parent's actions have on their children lives. Ultimately, SELF ABUSE is a story filled with love and hope.

A searingly honest memoir of love, loss and fatherhood At 35, despite his determination to be different from his parents, Jonathan Self found his life echoing theirs: he was a twice-divorced absent father with three young children, one in the UK and two in Australia. In this searingly frank, moving and often funny memoir, Self documents his efforts to break the family mould and become a different kind of parent. It is highly personal in its discussion of alcohol, drug and sexual abuse, filled with extraordinary characters and events, but also universal - the pain of separation from one's children, the best intentions gone awry, the sins of the parents condemning the children. Ultimately it is a story filled with love and hope.

Self Abuse

Simon Schuster Ltd

From the age of three Jonathan Self had only one ambition: not to be like his father. Despite his determination to be a better man -- and a better parent than his own had been -- Jonathan was a twice-divorced father of three and, at age thirty-five, spiraling. Self Abuse is the story of Jonathan's efforts to break free from the cycle of despair and dysfunction that characterized his youth. A brilliantly rendered, unapologetic memoir about the pain and joy of parenthood, Jonathan's story is as heartbreaking, redemptive, and unforgettable as it is true.

A practical guide to launching and growing your own successful ethical business. Businesses focused almost entirely on improving the world we live in, rather than on financial gain, can help to achieve meaningful change and generate above-average profits. Genuinely ethical businesses are not only less likely to fail and more likely to be sustainable, they also return higher shareholder value in terms of cash and in terms of satisfaction. Jonathan Self reveals how his own ethical business, Honey's Real Dog Food, gives away a substantial percentage of its turnover to charity, and despite spending nothing on sales and advertising, has achieved nine years of spectacular growth.
