'Discover the incredible wedding photography of John Dolan in the new and expanded edition of his iconic photography book' - Digital Camera World This expanded second edition of The Perfect Imperfect includes over thirty new photographs, many made during the pandemic, including new photographs of Gwyneth Patrow, Anna Sophia Robb and the White House wedding of Naomi Biden. This book is an unexpected deep dive into the tenderness and complexity of weddings. For over 350 Saturdays, John Dolan has quietly pursued emotional and revealing art inside the wedding day itself. He has aimed his camera at tiny moments of great meaning: evocative, joyful, bittersweet, unscripted, perfectly imperfect scenes at the start of a marriage. The wedding is one of society's last and lasting ceremonies—universal in its presence, comprehensive in its emotion. Dolan's candor, his respectful discretion and his gentle but shrewd and powerful observation combine to make a book that transcends weddings and

Perfect Imperfect
Perfect Imperfect takes as its founding principle the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, advocating the beauty to be found in imperfection, impermanence and the authentic. Importantly this is done without losing sight of the benefits of living in the 21st century, where designers are merging digital technology with the handmade, rethinking how to use space as well as accommodating the natural world, which is always giving birth to new creative expressions. As this collaborative process involved working across continents, the authors created a list of words and phrases that defined how to curate the work they wanted to include in this stunning book: mutability; irregularity; unfinished and incomplete; void; the effects of accident; unpretentious; simplicity; contrasts; and Leonard Koren's idea that 'beauty can be coaxed out of ugliness'. These words and phrases split the book into visual sections: Spirit of Nature; Strange Beauty; Mark of Hand; Deep Shadow; Weathering & Decay; and Incomplete and Irregular.Perfect Imperfect is a beautiful, inspirational book, with thought-provoking text by Karen McCartney and stunning visuals by Sharyn Cairns and Glen Proebstel. It is a celebration of accident, curation, collection, hesitation, collaboration, reuse, reimagining and true originality. It explores an established aesthetic in a new way, as illustrated by the homes and studios of creatives all over the world. It embraces current design objects alongside well-worn ones, and features interior settings that mix comfort, design and an off-beat beauty.

Amores, E-bok
Ovidius hörde till sin tids mest lästa och älskade poeter och Amores är hans debut. En hyllning till kärleken och erotiken, med dess svindlande lycka och avgrundsdjupa besvikelse. Verket satte honom omedelbart i rampljuset och visade starten på den formella elegans han senare skulle utveckla till fulländning. I översättning av John W. Köhler. PUBLIUS OVIDIUS NASO föddes år 43 f. Kr. Han var en uppburen poet i Rom, men landsförvisades år 8 e. Kr. till Tomis vid Svarta havet. Han fick aldrig återvända till staden han älskade utan dog efter ett decennium i landsflykt.

Metamorfoser
Få poetiska verk har haft större betydelse för den västerländska kulturen än Ovidius Metamorfoser. Författare som Dante Alighieri, Giovanni Boccaccio, Geoffrey Chaucer och William Shakespeare har tagit djupa intryck av de dramatiska historierna - och ännu på 2000-talet fortsätter den romerske poetens bok att fascinera.Förvandling, »metamorfos«, är det stora temat. Stoffet hämtade Ovidius från antikens myter, men han satte gärna egen prägel på berättelserna. Här finns berömda kärlekspar som Orfeus och Eurydike och en mängd andra gestalter som genomgår märkliga förvandlingar, beroende på gudarnas välvilja, svartsjuka eller hämndlystnad. Nymfen Dafne flyr från guden Apollons uppvaktning och blir till ett lagerträd. Filemon och Baukis får tack vare sin gästfrihet mot Zeus en önskan om att aldrig behöva begrava varandra uppfylld och står för evigt tillsammans i form av en ek och en lind.Metamorfoser är en myllrande skapelseberättelse, i stort och smått. Ovidius berättar inte bara hur världen uppstod, hur Rom bildades eller hur Julius Caesar blev till en stjärnbild, utan också hur mullbärsträdets bär fick sin röda färg.I svensk översättning av Harry Armini. PUBLIUS OVIDIUS NASO föddes år 43 f. Kr. Han var en uppburen poet i Rom, men landsförvisades år 8 e. Kr. till Tomis vid Svarta havet. Han fick aldrig återvända till staden han älskade utan dog efter ett decennium i landsflykt.
Dinner at the Night Library
The Night Library is no ordinary library. Within it are found the rarest and most unusual collections - the books of deceased famous writers: the books they wrote; the books that inspired them; the books they loved. All Otaha Higuchi wants to do is work with books. However, the exhausting nature of her work at a chain bookstore, combined with her paltry salary and irritating manager quickly bring reality crashing down around her. She is on the verge of quitting when she receives a message from somebody anonymous, inviting her to apply for a job at ''The Night Library.' The hours are from seven o'clock to midnight. The library exclusively stores books by deceased authors, and none of them can be checked out - instead, they're put on public display to be revered and celebrated by the library's visitors, making it akin to a book museum. There, Otoha meets the other staff, a group of likeminded literary misfits, including a legendary chef who prepares incredible meals for the library's
