The glorious No.1 bestsellerUntil the First World War, the estate gardens at Heligan were one of the glories of Cornwall. Thereafter, through growing neglect, they slipped gradually to sleep. This is the amazing story of their rediscovery and restoration, or the Victorian vision and ingenuity which first created that subtropical paradise, and of the modern obsession and improvisation which recreated it.

The frontier between 'law' and 'politics' is not always clear-cut. A large area exists where courts operate, but where governments and parliaments also make decisions. Tim Koopmans compares the way American, British, French and German law and politics deal with different issues: in many instances subjects which are highly 'political' in one country constitute legal issues in another. Is there, for example a 'sovereign Parliament' (as there is in Britain), or will courts control the compatibility of statutes with the Constitution (as in the United States and Germany)? How far can courts go in controlling the legality of administrative action? Are there general legal theories about the frontier between what courts and what politics can do? Koopmans considers case law on a range of issues, including human rights protection, federalism, separation of powers, equal protection and the impact of European and international law.

<p>When fall's chill or winter's storms keep you in, plant yourself in front of the fireplace with this book of Andrea Jones's botanical photographs and enjoy the eternal spring. In fact, not even spring's arrival will give you these views, as you travel the globe with one of the world's foremost photographers of plant life. In some photographs, Jones' close-ups of seeds, flowers, trees, leaves, grasses, berries, and stalks revel in intimate detail that seems too precise to be real. In others, the living plants takes on abstract qualities via their sculptural variety and extraordinary systems and symmetry. Each chapter of <i>Plantworlds</i> is devoted to a particular continent and the plants native to that region. Influenced by artists such as Arthur Harry Church and Georgia O'Keeffe, Jones brings both a passion and an exacting eye to the natural world, Jones has produced an oeuvre that will enlighten, entertain and inform. A perfect gift for a gardener, naturalist or any lover of photography.</p>
